"The City on the Edge of Forever" Line-by-line

KIRK: Scotty, when you think you've waited long enough. Each of you will have to try it. Even if you fail, at least you'll be alive in some past world somewhere
 
(Images from World War I pass through the Guardian...)

Spock: And... now.

(Kirk and Spock leap through the Guardian and arrive on Earth, appearing to come out of a wall which has a poster for boxing at Madison Square Garden)
 
Kirk and Spock leap through the Guardian Portal and emerge on a sidewalk in the 20th Century

Kirk: I've seen old photographs of this period. An economic upheaval had occurred.
 
SPOCK: It was called Depression, circa 1930. Quite barbaric.

(Two women give then curious looks, and Spock hides his ears with his hands.)
 
Spock: I'm afraid i'm going to be difficult to explain in any case, Captain.
 
Kirk: Well, Mister Spock, if we...can'tdisguiseyou, we'll find some way of...explainingyou.
 
Driver: Look out, will you?! Why don't you watch where you're going?!

Kirk: Well, double dumb-ass on you!
Spock: Wrong decade, Captain.


:lol::guffaw:
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
 
Kirk and Spock walk into an alley, Kirk spots clothes hanging on the Fire Escape.

Spock: Theft Captain?
 
Kirk: Well we'll steal from the rich and give back to the poor... later.
 
^ finishing

KIRK: I think I'm going to like this century. Simple, easier to manage. We're not going to have any difficulty explaining...

(Then he sees the policeman.)


POLICEMAN: Well?
