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

[LeadHead]

April: As Starship Personnel, we were always prepared to give our lives Captain.

 

[CoveTom]

SARAH: We are still starship personnel, Captain.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: There's still one chance. After that ship enters the nova, it should burn up and break contact with our tractor beam. Mister Spock, how long will we have to apply full braking power and execute course change?

 

[Captain Robert April]

SPOCK: We are up to warp twenty two and increasing, Captain. We shall have forty-two point eight five seconds to correct our course after the alien ship enters the nova.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: You heard that, Mr. Sulu.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: You heard that, Mister Sulu.

 

[LeadHead]

Sulu: Aye-Aye Sir.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRK: Mister Scott, we're going to apply full braking power in a minute.

 

[Ziz]

Scotty: Aye, Captain. Our engines are almost gone.

 

[Brian]

SCOTTY continues as the scene shifts to the bridge: They've only lasted this long at this speed because the alien vessel is pulling us with our own tractor beam.

Next line...

SPOCK: The alien vessel will contact Beta Niobe in 52.3 seconds, Captain. Contact in 39 seconds. 38, 37... 13, 12, 11..

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Get ready to execute course change, Mister Sulu!

 

[Brian]

SULU: Yes, sir.

 

[Leandar]

(The little ship disappears into the nova - presuming the ship destroyed...)

Kirk: Now, Mr. Sulu!

 

[Brian]

SULU: Something's wrong, Captain. We're still being pulled by the alien ship.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Impossible. It should have been destroyed instantly.

 

[Alienesse]

AREX: Apparently it was not, Captain. Our tractor beam is still connected to her.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: And we are still increasing speed. Contact with the nova in thirty five point one eight seconds.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: That other ship may have been able to survive the heat of a nova, but the Enterprise can't. Mister Scott, how about that full braking power?

 

[Leandar]

Scotty: We're as badly of as before, Captain. We have no control as long as that alien lassie has us in tow!

 

[Alienesse]

[Bridge]

SPOCK: Contact in twenty seconds.
