TFF Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Computer: This is an Authorized Transmission from Starfleet Galactic Memory Bank.

 

[Brian]

KIRK: Not General Korrd.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: The same. He has apparently fallen out of favor with the Klingon High Command.

 

[Brian]

KIRK: General Korrd's military strategies were required learning when I was a cadet at the Academy. When they put me out to pasture, I hope I fare better than Korrd.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: This must be the hostage tape.

 

[Brian]

DAR: A short time ago, we willingly surrendered ourselves to the forces of the Galactic Army of Light. At this moment we're in their protective custody. Their leader assures us that we will be treated humanely so long as you cooperate with his demands. I believe his sincerity. He requests that you send a Federation starship to parlay for our release at once. Be assured that we are in good health, and would appreciate your immediate response.

 

[CoveTom]

SYBOK: I deeply regret this desperate act but these are desperate times. I do not want to harm these innocents but do not put me to the test. I implore you... I implore you to respond.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What is it? You look like you've just seen a ghost.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Perhaps I have, Captain. Perhaps I have.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Spock, what is it? Do you know this Vulcan?

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: I cannot be certain.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: But he does seem familiar?

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: He reminds me of someone I knew in my youth.

 

[CoveTom]

MCCOY: Why, Spock, I didn't know you had one.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: I do not often think of the past.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: Spock, who is it that he reminds you of?

 

[DeVario]

SPOCK: There was a young student, exceptionally gifted, possessing a great intelligence. It was assumed that one day he would take his place amongst the great scholars of Vulcan. But he was a revolutionary.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What do you mean?

 

[Leandar]

Spock: The knowledge and experience he sought were forbidden by Vulcan belief.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: Forbidden?
