"The Corbomite Maneuver" Line-by-Line!

[CoveTom]

BAILEY: Plotted. Laid in, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Engage.

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: Warp one, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Mister Bailey, phaser crews were sluggish. You were slow locking them into your directional beam. Helmsman, engineering decks could have been faster, too. Program a series of simulated attacks and evasion maneuvers. Keep repeating the exercise until we're proficient gentlemen.

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: Yes sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Bailey: Yes Sir.

 

[HarryM]

MCCOY: Your timing is lousy, Jim.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: (to elevator) Captain's Quarters. (to McCoy) Aren't you the one who always says a little suffering is good for the soul?

 

[Admiral Shran]

MCCOY: I never say that.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

BAILEY [OC]: This is the Bridge. Prepare for simulated attack.

 

[Brian]

MCCOY: I'm especially worried about Bailey. Navigator's position's rough enough for a seasoned man.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: I think he'll cut it.

 

[Admiral Shran]

MCCOY: Oh? How so sure? Because you spotted something you liked in him, something familiar, like yourself say about, oh, eleven years ago?

 

[Leandar]

Bailey (on com): On the double, deck five! Give me a green light!

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: Why, Doctor, you've been reading your textbooks again?

 

[Brian]

MCCOY: I don't need textbooks to know you could've promoted him too fast. Listen to that voice.

 

[Admiral Shran]

BAILEY [OC]: Condition alert. Battle stations.

[Kirk's quarters]

BAILEY [OC]: Engineering, deck five, report. Phaser crews, come on, let's get with it. Phaser station two, where's your green light?

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: What's next? 'They're not machines, Jim'?

 

[Brian]

MCCOY: Well, they're not. After what they've been through they really should..

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: Doctor McCoy, I've heard you say that man is ultimately superior to any mechanical device.
