"The Menagerie" Line-by-Line

[Kolrad]

Hansen: Acknowledged, sir.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

[Starbase Computer Centre]

Spock: Stand by. We'll warp out of orbit in one hour.

 

[Leandar]

(Mendez's office - Kirk is watching Pike on a monitor. Pike is constantly beeping ''no'' as McCoy comes in)

Kirk: He keeps blinking 'no.' No to what?

 

[scotpens]

McCOY: Well, they've tried questioning him. He's almost agitated himself into a coma.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: How long will he live?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

McCoy: As long as any of us. Blast medicine anyway. We've learned to tie into every human organ in the body except one. The brain. The brain is what life is all about. Now, that man can think any thought that we can, and love, hope, dream as much as we can, but he can't reach out, and no one can reach in.

 

[Kolrad]

Kirk: He keeps blinking "no."

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

McCoy: No to what? They could question him for days, weeks, before they stumble on the right thing.

 

[Kolrad]

Kirk: Bones. Could this have had anything to do with Spock?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

McCoy: I don't read you at all, Jim.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What I mean is either a message was received. It was one of two things. Either someone sent a message diverting us here, or someone on board the ship lied about receiving it. Could that someone be Mister Spock?

 

[scotpens]

McCOY: Jim, forgetting how well we both know Spock, the simple fact that he's a Vulcan means he's incapable of telling a lie.

 

[ClayinCA]

KIRK: He's also half human.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

MCCOY: And that half is completely submerged. To be caught acting like us or even thinking like us would completely embarrass him.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Someone's interfering with my command and my ship! I don't know who it is, but I mean to find out. Even you! If I thought you had the technical know-how, I'd suspect you, but you don't, Spock does!

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: He would not make a false entry.

 

[scotpens]

KIRK: There's a false entry in the log right now that doesn't jibe with the established facts. How do you explain that?

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: I can't, but to question Spock of all people? Me, yes. I could run off half-cocked given a good reason. So could you, but not Spock, it's impossible.

 

[Leandar]

Starbase Computer voice: Dr. McCoy to transporter control. Dr. McCoy to transporter control.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: McCoy here.
