"Requiem for Methuselah" Line-by-Line

KIRK: Then why are you afraid?

(he embraces her)

KIRK: Don't be afraid.

(Kirk kisses Rayna. M4 enters and Rayna is scared. Kirk pushes her away)
 
Rayna: Stop Command. Stop!

M4 ignores the command and purses them as it moves in for the kill on Kirk, Spock vaporizes it with his phaser.
 
[Living room]

FLINT: M4 was programmed to defend this household and its members. No doubt I should have altered its instructions to allow for unauthorized but predictable actions on your part. It thought you were attacking Rayna. A misinterpretation.
 
A New M4 enters

Flint: Too useful a device to be without, really. I created another. It will now go to the laboratory and join Doctor McCoy.
 
Flint: Be thankfull that you did not attack me, Captain. I might have accepted battle, and I have twice your physical strength.
 
FLINT: Of course! Death, when unnecessary, is a tragic thing. Doctor McCoy's in the laboratory with the new ryetalyn. He's satisfied as to its quality. May I suggest that you wait here patiently, safely. You have seen that my defense systems operate automatically and not always in accordance with my wishes. Come, Rayna. Rayna! Come.
 
Spock: Since we are dependent on Mister Flint for the ryetalyn, Captain, may I respectfully suggest that you pay less attention to the young lady if you should encounter her again. Our host's interests do not appear to be confined to art and science.
 
KIRK: Jealousy. Yes, that would explain the attack, but he seemed to want us together. The billiard game. He suggested we dance.
