The Enterprise Incident Line-By-Line

Not open for further replies.
COMMANDER: He is a Vulcan. Our forebears had the same roots and origins. Something you wouldn't understand, Captain. We can appreciate the Vulcans, our distant brothers. I have heard of Vulcan integrity and personal honour. There's a well-known saying, or is it a myth, that Vulcans are incapable of lying?
 
SPOCK: I reserve the privilege of speaking only when it will not violate my honour as a Vulcan. :vulcan:
 
SPOCK: You're being clever, Commander. That is unworthy of a Romulan. It is not a lie to keep the truth to oneself.
 
COMMANDER: There is Mister Spock's unspoken truth. You knew of the cloaking device that we have developed. You deliberately violated Romulan space with a blatant spy mission, by order of the Federation.
 
Commander: We have not even begun! There's no force that I can use on a Vulcan that will make him speak. That is a fact. But there are Romulan methods completely effective against humans and human weaknesses.
 
SPOCK: You would not resort to them, Commander. They would prove ineffective against the captain.
 
COMMANDER: Then they will leave him dead, or what might be worse than dead. But I will know your unspoken truths.
 
SPOCK: I cannot allow the captain to be further destroyed. The strain of command has worn heavily upon him. He's not been himself for several weeks.
 
SPOCK: As you can see, Captain Kirk is a highly sensitive and emotional person. I believe he has lost the capacity for rational decision.

[@May 20 Ohh really? Didn't you watch TEI before? You should do it, everyone on this planet should do it, before Romulans come for us. :rommie:]
 
KIRK: Shut up, Spock!

No, I haven't. My first Trek was TNG (I'm a total 24th century fan), and I still haven't watched much of TOS. Maybe I will this weekend.
 
SPOCK: I'm betraying no secrets. The commander's suspicion that Starfleet ordered the Enterprise into the Neutral Zone is unacceptable. Our rapid capture demonstrates its foolhardiness.

(A/N: my first Trek episode ever was A piece of the Action and that was the episode my dad decided to show me.)
