''That Which Survives'' Line-By-Line

Kirk: All right. Whatever destructive power this woman has seems to be aimed at one specific person at one specific time. If I'm correct, when she re-appears, the other two might protect the one she's after by interposing their bodies. No weapons seem to affect her.
 
SULU: But Captain, how does she know about us? Does she read our minds? (there's a whining sound) Phaser on overload!
 
Kirk: Controls are fused. Drop!

(He throws his phaser away, and it goes off with a big bang.)

Kirk: Apparently she can destroy our weapons as well as destroy us. Come on, let's go.
 
[Bottom of crawl way]


SCOTT: All right, lads. Get the crawl way door open. Hand me the tools. Communicator. All right. Head first. I hope Mister Spock knows what he's doing.
 
Scotty: I've sealed off the aft end of the service crawlway, and I've positioned explosive separator charges to blast me clear of the ship if I rupture the magnetic bottle. I'm so close to the flow now it feels like ants crawling all over my body.
 
[Bridge]

SPOCK: Mister Scott, I suggest you refrain from any further subjective descriptions. You now have ten minutes and nineteen seconds in which to perform your task.
 
[Crawl way]

RAHDA: Mister Spock, we're at warp 11.2 and accelerating.

Thought you turned into a lizard at warp 10?
 
Scotty: All right, Mr. Spock. I'm starting to open the access panel now. (As this happens, on the bridge, Spock begins his computer study) Access to the flow itself. If the magnetic flow jumps, you must jettison me. The safety control will not hold more than two seconds if I rupture the field.
 
Computer: Unable to comply. Comparison co-ordinates too complex for immediate readout. Will advise upon completion.
 
Back in the crawlway...

Scotty: I've removed the access plate, and I've got static electric charges dancing on the instruments. Looks like an aurora borealis in there.
 
Spock: Please do not take your eyes off of it. Lieutenant Rahda, arm the pod jettison system.
