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

[Athena28]

[Bridge]


KIRK: I'm delighted to hear that, Chief. Once Mother Horta tells her kids what to look for, you people are going to be embarrassingly rich.

 

[HarryM]

VANDERBERG [OC]: You know, the Horta aren't so bad once you're used to their appearance.

[Vanderberg's office]

VANDERBERG: Well. that's about it, Kirk. Thanks for everything.

 

[Athena28]

[Bridge]


KIRK: Our pleasure, Chief. Kirk out.

 

[HarryM]

SPOCK: Curious. What Chief Vanderberg said about the Horta is exactly what the Mother Horta said to me. She found humanoid appearance revolting, but she thought she could get used to it.

 

[Athena28]

MCCOY: Oh, she did, did she? Now tell me, did she happen to make any comment about those ears?

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Not specifically, but I did get the distinct impression she found them the most attractive human characteristic of all. I didn't have the heart to tell her that only I have...

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: She really liked those ears?

 

[Praetor Baldric]

SPOCK: Captain, the Horta is a remarkably intelligent and sensitive creature, with impeccable taste.

 

[mach7]

Kirk: Because she approved of you?

 

[Praetor Baldric]

SPOCK: Really, Captain, my modesty

 

[mach7]

Kirk: Does not bear close examination Mr. Spock. I suspect your becoming more and more human all the time.

 

[Praetor Baldric]

SPOCK: Captain, I see no reason to stand here and be insulted.

 

[Zameaze]

KIRK: Ahead, warp factor two.

 

[Leandar]

(The Enterprise flies on)

Well done, all! Whoo hoo!

Great episode. I remember many games of "Horta" when a youngin' played with a large blanket.

Oh yeah. We would typically do that after watching a show (in the 70s re-run era), reenact the episode. I think being the youngest of 5 kids I was usually relegated to the role of Schmitter.

 

[Zameaze]

Let's get to the Horta the matter, Guys--what's next?
