"The Trouble with Tribbles" Line-by-Line

Kirk: Get the maintenance crew to clean up the entire ship, then contact Mister Lurry and tell him I'm beaming down.
 
[Lurry's office]
JONES: Captain Kirk, I'm mystified at your tone of voice. I've done nothing to warrant such severe treatment.
 
SPOCK: Surely you must have realized what would happen if you removed the tribbles from their predator-filled environment into an environment where their natural multiplicative proclivities would have no restraining factors.
 
SPOCK: By removing the tribbles from their natural habitat, you have, so to speak, removed the cork from the bottle and allowed the genie to escape.
 
JONES: If by that, you mean do they breed quickly? Of course, that's how I maintain my stock. Breeding animals is not against regulations, only breeding dangerous ones. And tribbles are not dangerous.
 
Jones: Precisely, and at six credits a head...well...that is...a body, it mounts up. Now if you'll excuse me.
 
Jones: If I did, what would happen to man's search for knowledge? Well, I must be tending my ship. Au revoir.
 
BARIS: Captain Kirk, I consider your security measures a disgrace. In my opinion, you have taken this important project far too lightly.
 
Baris: I am going to report fully to the proper authorities that you have given free and complete access to this station to a man who is quite possibly a Klingon agent.
