"The Counter-Clock Incident" Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Karla Five: Your interference almost cost me my life!

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I can understand her now, without the aid of the universal translator.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Apparently our brains are also working in reverse, Captain. So we can now understand her language. That is why the ship's systems seem to be working in the reverse to us.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: I'm Captain James T Kirk of the USS Enterprise. We tried to prevent you from entering the Beta Niobe nova. We assumed your ship would burn up.

 

[Brian]

KARLA: I had to return to my own universe, Captain Kirk.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

KIRK: Who are you? How did you come to be in our universe?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

KIRK: Who are you? How did you come to be in our universe?

 

[Leandar]

Karla Five: I am an explorer of space. I was caught unaware when Amphion, previously a dead star, went nova and came to life. I was pulled into the star. But instead of burning up, I passed into a universe where everything operates in reverse to my universe.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: Our universe.

 

[Leandar]

Karla Five: Yes. My theory is that two stars going nova in the same place in both universes created a gateway which I passed through.

 

[Captain Robert April]

COMMODORE APRIL: In her universe, a nova is a dead star which comes to life! And when the explosions of a nova in her universe and one in our universe occur together, it's possible to travel between the two universes.

Finally got one!

 

[Leandar]

^^^Way to go, dude!!

Kirk: Then we must return the same way through the two novas.

 

[Alienesse]

KARLA [on viewscreen]: That would be impossible, Captain. Amphion is no longer nova. It has begun it's life as a star. I suggest you set a course to follow my ship. Perhaps our scientists can help solve your problem.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: We have little choice.

Captain's log, supplemental. We are proceeding to Karla Five's planet, Arret.


(Briefing room)


Kirk: Gentlemen, I'm sure none of us mind growing younger instead of older for a change.

 

[Alienesse]

APRIL: It pleases me, Jim. If we stay here long enough, I'll no longer be at the mandatory retirement age.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Nevertheless we must return home and I am open to suggestions.

 

[Alienesse]

SPOCK: It is logical that we must reproduce the conditions that brought us here. Two novas must occupy the same space in both universes in order to create a gateway for us to travel through. One star dying in our universe, and one being born here would recreate the correct conditions.

 

[Leandar]

April: That would take a remarkable coincidence, Mr. Spock.

 

[Alienesse]

UHURA [on monitor]: Captain, we are approaching Arret. Karla Five is asking if you are prepared to beam down to the planet.

 

[Captain Robert April]

KIRK: Tell Karla Five that Mister Spock, Commodore April and myself will be beaming down.
