"The Trouble with Tribbles" Line-by-Line

[Alienesse]

(the tribble is eating grain spilled from the packet Kirk gave Chekov)

CHEKOV: Hey! He's eating my grain.

 

[LeadHead]

Barman: That'll be ten credits.

 

[Alienesse]

JONES: That happens to be my sample, and I'll do with it as I please. And I please to give it to the lovely lady.

 

[LeadHead]

Uhura: Oh, I couldn't. Could I?

 

[Alienesse]

JONES: I insist.

 

[LeadHead]

Barman: What are you trying to do, ruin the market?

 

[Alienesse]

JONES: Once this lovely little lady starts to show this precious little darling around, you won't be able to keep up with them.

Later Kirk and Spock are talking in the Briefing Room.

A comm whistle goes off.

Kirk: Yes, what is it?

 

[Alienesse]

UHURA [over comm]: Message from Starfleet, Captain. Priority channel. Admiral Fitzpatrick speaking.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Put it on visual, Lieutenant.

 

[Brian]

ADMIRAL: Captain Kirk?

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Kirk here.

 

[Alienesse]

ADMIRAL: Captain, it is not necessary to remind you of the importance to the Federation of Sherman's Planet. The key to our winning of this planet is the grain quadrotriticale. The shipment of it must be protected. Effective immediately, you will render any aid and assistance which Undersecretary Baris may require. The safety of the grain and the project is your responsibility. Starfleet out.

 

[LeadHead]

Screen goes blank.

Kirk: Now, that's just lovely.

 

[Alienesse]

SPOCK: But not totally unexpected.

 

[Brian]

UHURA: Captain Kirk! Captain Kirk!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIRK: Yes, Lieutenant, what is it?

 

[Enterprise1981]

UHURA [OC]: Sensors are picking up a Klingon battle cruiser rapidly closing on the station.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIRK: Go to Red Alert. Notify Mister Lurry. We'll be right up.

(NOTE: Sorry I’m late to the party, but we missed a couple of lines back between posts #71 and 72.)

KIRK: Kirk out.

BARIS: Captain Kirk, how dare you authorize a mere two men for a project of this importance? Starfleet Command . . .

Now back to our story in progress . . .
