"The Man Trap" Line-by-Line!

[CoveTom]

It's time to play the music! It's time to light the lights! It's time ot meet the Salt Vampire!

We've recently concluded our "Where No Man Has Gone Before" Line-by-Line thread! (You can also click that link to get a list of all our movie line-by-line threads that you can peruse as well!)

After each completed thread, I'm randomly picking someone who participated to choose the next episode we do. The lucky winner this time around was ChristopherPike! And he has chosen "The Man Trap" as our next line-by-line adventure.

As a reminder, you are asked to post only a single line (defined as one character speaking without interruption by another character) per message. You can post as often as you like, but someone else must post a line in between your posts.

Enjoy!

KIRK: Captain's Log, stardate 1513.1. Our position: orbiting planet M-113. On board the Enterprise, Mr. Spock temporarily in command. On the planet, the ruins of an ancient and long-dead civilization. Ship's surgeon McCoy and myself are beaming down to the planet's surface. Our mission: routine medical examination of archaeologist Robert Crater and his wife Nancy. Routine except for the fact that Nancy Crater is that one woman in Dr. McCoy's past.

(then)

Shall we pick some flowers, Doctor? When a man visits an old girlfriend, she usually expects something like that.

McCoy: Is that how you get girls to like you, by bribing them? There doesn't seem to be anybody around, does there?

 

[ChristopherPike]

Kirk: "They'll be along. You rushed us down ten minutes early."


McCoy beckons Kirk to follow him inside. Darnell follows behind.


"Professor Crater? Professor? Mrs. Crater?"


No answer. Bones is anxiously rubbing his hands.


"Nervous, Dr. McCoy?"

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Just a little bit, I guess. We walked out of each others lives ten years ago. She married Crater, and for all I know she may have forgotten me completely. Of all the bonehead ideas Jim, how'd I let myself in for things like this?

 

[ChristopherPike]

(Not) Nancy: Singing to herself, stopping...

"Leonard!"

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Nancy.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Nancy: Hello.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: It's good to see you.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Young Nancy: "Let me look at you."

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: You haven't aged a day. Oh, this is Captain Jim Kirk of the Enterprise.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Kirk: (seeing a grey haired woman)

"Mrs. Crater. I've heard a great deal about you."

 

[LeadHead]

Nancy: All good I hope.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Kirk: (grins in reaction) "Heh."

^ or something like that

 

[Orac]

McCoy: And Crewman Darnell.

 

[LeadHead]

Darnell: (sees a young blonde) How do you do ma'am?

 

[CoveTom]

MCCOY: Something wrong, Darnell?

 

[Orac]

Darnell: Excuse me sir but, Ma'am if I didn't know better I would swear that you were somebody I left behind on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet, it's funny you're exactly like a girl that...

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: A little less mouth Darnell.

 

[Orac]

Darnell: I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to uh... I mean I know it's impossible of course.
