"The Changeling" Line-by-Line

[Alienesse]

MCCOY: As I recall, it wasn't. It was supposed to be the first interstellar probe to seek new life-forms.

 

[BlueStuff]

SPOCK: Precisely, Doctor. And somehow that programming has been changed. It would seem that Nomad is now seeking out perfect life-forms, perfection being measured by its own relentless logic.

[BlueStuff]

CARLISLE: Aye, sir. Acknowledge.

SPOCK: Captain, Mister Singh reports that Nomad is no longer in the auxiliary control room.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRK: Security, cancel that order. Implement a full search for the mechanism. All decks report to me here.

[Bridge]

(Nomad retracts its antenna and takes the most direct path to Uhura, who is leaning against the navigation station. Sulu has to move out of its way.)
UHURA: Tomorrow the path along the way, There's where my love

 

[BlueStuff]

NOMAD: What is the meaning?

 

[Alienesse]

UHURA: What?

 

[BlueStuff]

NOMAD: What form of communication?

 

[Alienesse]

UHURA: I don't know what it. (realizes) Oh, my singing. I was singing.

 

[BlueStuff]

NOMAD: For what purpose is singing?
