"Space Seed" Line-by-Line!

[Brian]

KIRK: All decks go to full alert.

<opening credits>

KIRK: Captain's log, stardate 3141.9. A full hour has elapsed since interception of the strange vessel. Our presence alongside is still being completely ignored. Although our sensors continue to show signs of equipment and life aboard, there has been no indication of danger to us.

KIRK: Weapons department, maintain battle stations. All other decks standby alert.

 

[Enterprise1981]

UHURA: All decks acknowledging, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: We're continuing to pick up some form of heart action over there. Very faint, very slow. Seems to be coming from about 60 or 70 bodies, as near as I can tell.

 

[Brian]

KIRK: Alien bodies, Bones?

 

[Enterprise1981]

MCCOY: Could be. There's no sign of breathing or other form of respiration.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Hull surface is pitted with meteor scars. However, scanners make out a name. SS Botany Bay.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: Then you can check the registry.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: No such vessel listed. Records of that period are fragmentary, however. The mid-1990's was the era of your last so-called World War.

 

[Enterprise1981]

MCCOY: The Eugenics Wars.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Of course. Your attempt to improve the race through selective breeding.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Now, wait a minute. Not Our attempt, Mister Spock. A Group of ambitious scientists. I'm sure you know the type. Devoted to logic, completely unemotional...

 

[Enterprise1981]

(McCoy's jabs at Spock never get old)

KIRK: All right, all right, gentlemen. As you were. Rig for tractor beam, Helm. Lock onto that vessel.

 

[Brian]

SPINELLI: Rigging for tractor beam, sir.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIRK: The Bridge is yours, Mister Spock. Care to join the landing party, Doctor?

 

[Brian]

MCCOY: Well, if you're actually giving me a choice..

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: I'm not.

 

[Brian]

KIRK continues: Oh, I'll need somebody familiar with the late 20th-Century Earth. Here's a chance for that historian to do something for a change. What's her name? McIvers?

Next line...

SPOCK: Lieutenant McGivers.

SPOCK (public address): Attention. The following personnel report to transporter room. Engineering Officer Scott, Lieutenant McGivers. Acknowledge.

 

[Vanyel]

McGivers: McGivers. On my way.

 

[LeadHead]

In the transporter room, Scotty is operating to control panel

Scotty: Well, it looks like that ship was expecting us. We read heat coming on, complete oxygen atmosphere.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: Very interesting. You ready, Bones?
