He snaps his fingers, and they're in a meadow by a lake

Lucien (continued): Our universe operates by what you superstitiously call magic.

He creates 2 apples and throws one to McCoy

Bones: I know this is just my imagination but..
 
LUCIEN: It is real, Doctor. Beautiful? No. But all our women are as young and beautiful as they want to be. So as to ensnare the man of her dreams, she needs an edge.
(A young woman buys a vial of something)
 
LUCIEN: Never settle for anything less. Do you need a room, a stable, a castle? Stop in at your friendly sorcerer-contractor. Let him do the work.
 
Spock: Of course. Our Federation scientists were more correct than they realized. In order to function, the galactic creation point must extend through space, time, into another dimension where the logic of things is totally different.
 
LUCIEN: It took magic to get your vessel working again. Magic you, my friends, don't know how to work. But then you never did know, did you?
 
LUCIEN: Ah, Captain, Captain. to feign such ignorance to me. Very well. Look.

(He creates images in the water)

LUCIEN: Megas-Tu may seem to you a chaotic world, but its people are calm, peaceful, contemplative, each a specialist in his own kind of magic. There are no rivals anywhere in our universe, Captain Kirk. No other life forms at all. Millennia ago, in our search for companionship, we Megans passed through the point between dimensions and eventually we found ourselves on your world, Earth. Wherever we went, we became advisors to mankind. To help your ancestors, we drew on the power left behind in our own universe and made it work in your world. But eventually we had to leave. I didn't want to, my friends. Oh, how I fought! I was the generalist amid all the specialists. The trouble-maker, they said. But I'd always loved the people of Earth. Those were the days. But now you've come to me, and I'm so very glad.
 
KIRK: But why did you Megans leave Earth? If you enjoyed it so much, I don't understand.
 
Lucien: Captain, good Captain, always so curious. That must be why I've always liked you Earthlings so much. No, you must go.
 
LUCIEN: You must return to your vessel. Quickly! Do not give your presence away.
 
KIRK: Mister Scott, I'm bewildered, that's all. But that's enough.
 
Scotty: No, unless they have scanners. See, there. It's like a cloud of some kind. It's been between us and the planet since you vanished.
