"The Doomsday Machine" Line-by-Line

[Constellation Auxiliary Control]

KIRK: A robot weapon that purposely destroys entire solar systems. Why?
 
Spock: Unknown, Captain. However, Mr. Sulu has computed the path of the machine, using the destroyed solar systems as a base course. Projecting back on our star charts, we find that it came from outside, from another galaxy.
 
Spock: If it follows it's current path, it will go through the most densely populated section... of our galaxy.
 
Kirk: It's a weapon built primarily as a bluff, it's never meant to be used. So strong, it could destroy both sides in a war. Something like the old H-Bomb was supposed to be. That's what I think this is... a doomsday machine that somebody used in a war uncounted years ago. They don't exist anymore, but the machine is still destroying.
 
Decker: Oh, forget about your theories! That thing is on the way to the heart of our galaxy. What are you going to do about it?
 
Kirk: There's no ship to leave, it's a dead hulk! We'll take her in tow. I'll stay on board and get her ready. You go back to the Enterprise with the Doctor and let him help you.
 
Kirk: Kirk to Enterprise. Have the transporter room beam Doctor McCoy and Commodore Decker on board immediately.
