"The Man Trap" Line-by-Line!

[ChristopherPike]

Spock: "The Earth buffalo... what about it?"

 

[Leandar]

Crater: Once there were millions of them. Prairies black with them. One herd covered three whole states, and when they moved they were like thunder.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: And now they're gone. Is that what you mean?

 

[Leandar]

Crater: Like the creatures here. Once there were millions of them. Now there's one left. Nancy understood.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: Always in the past tense.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Where's your wife? Where is she now?

 

[LeadHead]

Crater: Dead. Buried up on the hill. It killed her.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: When?!

 

[Leandar]

Crater: Oh, a year... or was it two?

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Kirk to Enterprise.

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: Bridge, Sulu here.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: It's definite, Mister Sulu. The intruder can assume any shape. Crewmen, you, myself, anyone. Do you understand?

 

[ChristopherPike]

Sulu: "Affirmative, Captain."

 

[Kolrad]

Kirk: Go to GQ4.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Sulu: "General Quarters Four, Captain."

 

[Leandar]

Crater: The creature was trying to survive. It has that right, doesn't it?

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Kirk to transporter room, three to beam up.

 

[Leandar]

Crater: They needed salt to stay alive. There was no more salt. It's the last one. The buffalo. There is no difference.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: There's one Professor! Your creature is killing my people!

^ Kirk continues in his captain's log:

KIRK: Captain's Log, continuing... The Enterprise has been invaded by a creature capable of assuming any form and with the capacity to paralyze and draw the life from any one of us.
