"Mirror, Mirror" Line-by-Line!

[Admiral Shran]

Farrell: Yes, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Down in Engineering, Scotty distracts a guard, allowing McCoy to knock him out with an injection from his hypo.

McCoy: That ought to hold him for about 6 hours.

McCoy and Scotty climb to the upper level, and the Miracle Worker starts working.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Kirk enters his quarters and finds a woman in his bed....

Marlena: I fell asleep. We had quite a time in the Chem. Lab, picking up after the storm. Nothing compared to your day, I gather. I heard about Chekov.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: He gambled. I won.

 

[LeadHead]

Marlena: You got lucky. I'm surprised you could be caught off-guard that way.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: I was...preoccupied.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Marlena: Ah. You're still in trouble with Starfleet Command. What you've got in mind this time is beyond me. You're scheming, of course. The Halkans have something you want. Or.... is it all some clever means to advance you to the Admiralty? Kirk? The Cabinet itself?

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Further than that if I'm successful.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Marlena: Really? Well.... you must know what you're doing. You always do. If I'm to be the woman of a Caesar, can't I know what you're up to?

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Kirk here.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Spock: Mr. Spock, Captain.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Yes.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: I have received a private communication from Starfleet Command. I am committing a breach of regulations by informing you of its contents.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Kirk: Yes, Mr. Spock?

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: I am instructed to wait until planet dawn over the principal target to permit you to carry out our mission.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Kirk: And if I don't?

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: In that event, I am ordered to kill you, and to proceed against the Halkans as the new Captain of the Enterprise.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Kirk: Captain's Log, Stardate.... unknown. We are trapped in a savage parallel universe from which we must escape within four hours, or I will face a death sentence at Mr. Spock's hands.

 

[Leandar]

Marlena: Let's drink a toast to Spock. The only man aboard with the decency to warn you and he'll die for it. You'll never find another man like him.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Kirk: I don't intend to kill him.
