"The Devil in the Dark'' Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

KIRK: You're a healer. There's a patient. That's an order.

Mr. Spock, tell it we're trying to help. The mechanism.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Understood. It is the end of life. Eternity stops. Go out into the tunnel. To the chamber of the ages. Cry for the children. Walk carefully in the vault of tomorrow. Sorrow for the murdered children. The thing you search for is there. Go. Go. Sadness. Sadness for the end of things. Go into the tunnel. There is a passageway. Quickly, quickly. (Kirk heads off down the tunnel the Horta came out of)

Giotto: The Captain said for you to wait here, and here is where your going to wait!

 

[Zameaze]

APPEL: That murdering monster's in there and we're going to kill it.

 

[Enterprise1981]

GIOTTO: You're going to stay here.

 

[mach7]

McCoy: Thats right LT, just beam it down to me immediately and never mind what I want it for, I just want it! Now MOVE!

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: (still in mind-meld with the Horta) It is time to sleep. It is over. Failure. The murderers have won. Death is welcome. Let it end here.

 

[mach7]

Kirk: Mr Spock, Mr Spock, Spock, Spock! Come out of it. I found the unit in there. It's in pretty good shape. I also found about a million of these silicon nodules. They're eggs, aren't they?

 

[Zameaze]

SPOCK: Yes, Captain, eggs and about to hatch.

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: The miners must have broken into the hatchery. Their operations destroyed thousands of them. No wonder...

 

[Zameaze]

[Level twenty three]

APPEL: There. They're coming.
(He knocks out Giotto and the miners overpower the rest of the red-shirts, clubbing them viciously.)
APPEL: All right! All right, let's go!

 

[Athena28]

VANDERBERG: C'mon.

 

[Zameaze]

[Cavern]

KIRK: How are you doing, Doc?

 

[Athena28]

MCCOY: I'll let you know.

 

[mach7]

The miners come running in to the cavern

Kirk: Don't shoot! First man who fires is dead!

 

[HarryM]

^^^there is a missing line not in transcript from Appel after 'don't shoot' Appel: Kill it!

VANDERBERG: That thing has killed fifty of my men.

 

[mach7]

( your right, I missed it)

Kirk: You've killed thousands of her children.

 

[Leandar]

Vanderberg: What?!

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: Those round silicon nodules that you've been collecting and destroying? They're her eggs. Tell them, Mister Spock.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: There have been many generations of Horta on this planet. Every fifty thousand years, the entire race dies, all but one, like this one, but the eggs live. She cares for them, protects them. And when they hatch, she is the mother to them, thousands of them. This creature here is the mother of her race.
