"Space Seed" Line-by-Line!

Khan: (over comm) Your air should be getting quite thin by now.

In Engineering...

Khan: Do you surrender the bridge?
 
A short time later, the entire bridge crew except for Kirk has fallen unconscious die to the lack of oxygen Kirk sist at the command chair, dictating his final log entry.

Kirk: Stardate 3142.8. They have my ship, discarding their own worthless vessel. Only moments of air left on the bridge now. Commendations recorded for Lieutenant Uhura, Technicians First Class Thule and Harrison, Lieutenant Spinelli and of course, Mister Spock. I take full responsibility. I take....full.....

Kirk falls out of chair unconscious.
 
[Later, in Briefing room]

KHAN: Nothing ever changes, except man. Your technical accomplishments? Improve a mechanical device and you may double productivity. But improve man and you gain a thousand fold. I am such a man. Join me. I'll treat you well. I need your training to operate a vessel this complex.
 
KHAN: I see now I made one serious error. You are the Communications Officer? Engage the viewing screen, please.
 
Uhura, refuses to leave her seat. Khan has her pulled overto the view screen controls, where she defiantly looks back at her captor (Who looks kinda like Brendan Fraser), who than back hands her. Looking up from the table she again glares defiantly. She's about to be slapped again when...

McGivers: NO!
 
KHAN: I should have realized that suffocating together on the Bridge would create heroic camaraderie among you. But it is quite a different thing to watch it happening to someone else. Engage the viewing screen. I'm sure you recognize your medical decompression chamber here, Doctor. And the meaning of that indicator. Your Captain will die. If you join me, Mister Spock, I will save his life. My vessel was useless. I need you and yours to select a colony planet. One with a population willing to be led by us.
 
Khan shakes his head slightly....

Khan: But I hoped you would be stronger.

Marla leaves....


If anyone of you joins me, anyone, I'll let him live.

Nobody responds....

It's so useless!
 
In Sickbay....

Marla: Khan said to watch him very closely. He may decide to cooperate.

She drugs the guard and releases Kirk.

Captain, I saved you life. Now please don't kill him.
