"Spock's Brain" Line-by-Line

SPOCK'S BRAIN: She is an alien. The configurations of her brain are different. It could cause irreparable damage to your human brain, Doctor.
 
MCCOY: Spock, didn't you hear? I might be able to retain and bring these techniques to the world. Jim, isn't it worth that risk? Wouldn't you insist upon taking such a risk yourself?
 
(McCoy goes over to the device, and Kirk adjusts it onto his head. McCoy winces in pain as knowledge is fed into his brain, then falls to his knees.)

MCCOY: Of course. Of course. A child could do it. A child could do it.
 
Captain's log, Stardate 5432.3. Dr. McCoy is proceeding to restore Spock's brain. Our problem, we do not know how long his increased surgical knowledge will stay with him. Any additional attempt to use the teaching device is impossible. It would kill my medical officer.
 
(The top of Spock's head is concealed by a wall, which McCoy is working behind.)

SCOTTY: I've never seen anything like it. He's operating at warp speed. I'd like a try at that teacher myself.
 
KIRK: No. You won't be destroyed. You'll be without your Controller for the first time, but you'll be much better off, I think.
 
Kirk: No, you'll develop as you should have. All this shouldn't have been done for you. Now the women here below and the men here above will control together.
