"Mirror, Mirror" Line-by-Line!

[Vanyel]

Spock: One man cannot summon the future.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: But one man can change the present. Be Captain of the Enterprise, Mister Spock. Find a logical reason for sparing the Halkans and make it stick. Push till it gives. You can defend yourself better than any man in the fleet.

 

[Vanyel]

Scotty: Captain, get in the Chamber!

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What about it, Spock?

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: A man must also have the power.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: In my cabin, there is a device that will make you invincible.

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: Indeed?

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What will it be? Past or future? Tyranny or Freedom? It's up to you.

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: It is time.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk takes his spot on the transporter pad

Kirk: In every revolution, there's one man with a vision.

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: Captain Kirk, I shall consider it.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock activates the transporter, beaming our heroes away from the ISS Enterprise and moments later they materialize aboard the USS Enterprise.

The landing party smiles as they walk down to Spock and Kyle.

Kirk: Spock.

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: Welcome home Captain.

 

[LeadHead]

Later, on the Bridge, The staff are assembled, discussing the adventure.

Kirk: What I don't understand is how you were able to identify our counterparts so quickly?

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: It is far easier for you as civilized men to behave like barbarians, than it was for them, as barbarians, to behave like civilized men. I assume they returned to their Enterprise at the same time you appeared here?

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Probably. However, that Jim Kirk will find a few changes, if I read my Spocks correctly.

 

[Vanyel]

Bones: Jim I think I liked him with a beard better. It gave him character. Of course almost any change would be a distinct improvement.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What worries me is the easy way his counterpart fitted into that other universe. I always thought Spock was a bit of a pirate at heart.

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: Indeed gentlemen. May I point out that I had an opportunity to observe your counterparts here quite closely. They were brutal, savage, unprincipled, uncivilized, treacherous, In everyway splendid examples of homosapiens, the very flower of humanity. I found them quite refreshing.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I'm not sure, but I think we've been insulted.
