"Space Seed" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

McCoy: No, I signed aboard this ship to practice medicine, not to have my atoms scattered back and forth across space by this gadget.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: You're an old-fashioned boy, McCoy. Where's that historian? (McGivers enters) Come on, Lieutenant...

 

[JanewayRulz!]

MARLA: McGivers, sir.

 

[Brian]

KIRK: Energize.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

[SS Botany Bay]
(Men and women are lying in clear-sided compartments, seemingly asleep.)

KIRK: Scotty?

 

[Brian]

SCOTT: Definitely Earth-type mechanism, sir. Twentieth century vessel. Old type atomic power. Bulky, solid. I think they used to call them transistor units. I'd love to tear this baby apart.

 

[Leandar]

McGivers: Captain, it's a sleeper ship.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIRK: Suspended animation.

 

[ClawsThatCatch]

MARLA: I've seen old photographs of this. Necessary because of the time involved in space travel until about the year 2018. It took years just to travel from one planet to another.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Is it possible they're still alive after centuries of travel?

 

[ClawsThatCatch]

MCCOY: It's theoretically possible. I've never heard of it being tested for this long a period.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

MARLA: What a handsome group of people.

 

[Leandar]

McCoy: Jim, I have a new reading. The lights must have triggered some mechanism.

 

[Captain Robert April]

McGIVERS: Captain, look here.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

(They go to the compartment holding a dark-haired man.)


KIRK: Scotty?

 

[LeadHead]

Scotty: Beats me what's happening.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

MCCOY: We've triggered something, all right. His heart beat's increasing. Now passing eight beats per minute. There are some signs of respiration beginning.

 

[Leandar]

Scotty: This one was probably programmed to be triggered first.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Could he be the leader? The leader...lieutenant?

 

[Alienesse]

MARLA: (dragging herself back from just gazing at the man) Yes, sir. The leader was often set to revive first. This would allow him to decide whether the conditions warranted revival of the others.
