"The Trouble with Tribbles" Line-by-Line

(Bridge, sat upon tribble squeaks)

KIRK: Doctor McCoy, would you mind coming up to the bridge? Lieutenant Uhura, how did all these tribbles get on the bridge?
 
MCCOY: Yes? Did you want to see me, Jim? Don't look at me. It's the tribbles who are breeding. If we don't get them off this ship, we're going to be hip deep in them.
 
MCCOY: As near as I can figure out, they're born pregnant... which seems to be quite a time saver!
 
McCOY: And from my observations, it seems they're bisexual, reproducing at will.

(looks around bridge)

And, brother, have they got a lot of will.
 
Spock: Captain I'm forced to agree with the Doctor, I've been running computations on their rate of reproduction. The figures are taking an alarming direction, they are consuming our supplies and returning nothing.
 
UHURA: But they do give us something, Mister Spock. They give us love. Well, Cyrano Jones says a tribble is the only love that money can buy.
 
Kirk: Too much of anything Lieutenant, Even Love isn't necessarily a good thing.
