"The Squire of Gothos" Line-by-Line

KIRK: A personal conflict between us. Not like the duel before, but the real thing. The stakes, a human life. Mine.
 
KIRK: Yes, but you can do better than that. There's still not enough sport in just killing me with a sword.
 
TRELANE: I know. That will be dull. We'll have to have something more fanciful. Let me see. A hunt. A royal hunt. Predator against predator. Now, you may go hide in the forest anywhere you like and I shall seek. How does that strike you, Captain?
 
KIRK: It strikes me very well. But you'll have to make it worth my while, Trelane. Why not up the stakes?
 
KIRK: Yes. While we're playing our game, free my ship. Let it continue on its way. In return, I'll give you a contest you'll remember.
 
TRELANE: Always back to your ship! Oh well. If it will add spice to the pursuit, I accept your terms, Captain.

(Kirk is outside the building)
TRELANE [OC]: Remember, you must try not to let me find you too quickly.
 
KIRK: Enterprise--Enterprise, this is Kirk. Can you hear me? ... Get the ship away as fast as you can. I'll try and give you the time you need. Can you hear me?
 
TRELANE: Ah ha! Captain Kirk. You must try harder, Captain. This is too easy.
(They keep dodging amongst the shrubs)
