"The Squire of Gothos" Line-by-Line

[Admiral Shran]

TRELANE: I wouldn't hear of it. You shall join me in a repast. I want to learn all about your feelings on war and killing and conquest. That sort of thing. Do you know that you're one of the few predator species that preys even on itself?

(Kirk returns to the main group, where DeSalle has his hand on his phaser.)

 

[BlueStuff]

KIRK: Not yet. Put it on stun, not to kill, DeSalle.

 

[Alienesse]

TRELANE: DeSalle, did you say? Un vrai Francais?

 

[Admiral Shran]

DESALLE: My ancestry is French, yes.

 

[BlueStuff]

TRELANE: Ah, monsieur. Vive la gloire. Vive Napoleon. You know, I admire your Napoleon very much.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: This is Mister DeSalle, our navigator. Doctor McCoy, our medical officer. Mister Sulu, our helmsman, and Carl Jaeger, meteorologist.

 

[Enterprise1981]

(double post)

 

[BlueStuff]

TRELANE: Welcome, good physicianer and honourable sir. (bows low)

 

[Admiral Shran]

SULU: Is he kidding?

 

[BlueStuff]

TRELANE: Und Offizier Jaeger, und der deutsche Soldat, nein? (gives a little Prussian salute then marches around) Eins, zwei, drei, vier. Gehen vir mit dem Schiessgewehr.

 

[Enterprise1981]

JAEGER: I'm a scientist, not a military man.

 

[Admiral Shran]

JAEGER: I'm a scientist, not a military man.

 

[BlueStuff]

TRELANE: Oh come now. We're all military men under the skin. And how we do love our uniforms.

(Trelane is admiring himself in his mirror when he spots DeSalle raising his weapon, and with a wave of the hand, stops him)

TRELANE: What an interesting weapon you've got there. Do let me see it.

(He takes it out of DeSalle's hand, and he can move again)

TRELANE: Yes. Now let me see. How does this work? Ah, yes. This won't kill, and this will.

(He fires it at the Salt Monster, who is disintegrated)

TRELANE: Oh, how marvellous! (destroys another exhibit) Devastating! Why, this could kill millions.

(Kirk takes it off him)

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: Who will you start with, my crew? Are we your next targets?

 

[BlueStuff]

TRELANE: Oh, how absolutely typical of your species. You don't understand something, so you become fearful. Now, do let me anticipate your next question. You want to know how I've managed all of this.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: That's correct.

 

[BlueStuff]

TRELANE: We, meaning I and others, have, to state the matter briefly, perfected a system by which matter can be transferred to energy and back to matter again.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: Like the transporter system aboard the Enterprise.

 

[BlueStuff]

TRELANE: Oh, a crude example of an infinitely more sophisticated process. You see, we not only transport matter from place to place, but we can alter its shape at will.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRK: This drawing room, did you create it by rearranging matter on this planet?
