"The Trouble with Tribbles" Line-by-Line

Baris: My assistant here has kept Mister Jones under close surveillance for quite some time, and his actions have been most suspicious. I believe he was involved in that little altercation between your men and the men from-
 
Darvin: Well Captain, I've checked his ships log, and it seems he was in the Klingons sphere of influence less than four months ago.
 
GLENN BECK, I MEAN NILZ BARIS: The man is an independent scout, Captain. It is quite possible he is also a Klingon spy.
 
Spock: We have already checked on the background of Mister Cyrano Jones. He is a licensed Asteroid Locator and Prospector. He's never broken the law, at least not severely. For the past seven years, with his one man spaceship, he's obtained a marginal living by engaging in the buying and selling of rare merchandise, including, unfortunately Tribbles.
 
Kirk: People have disrupted stations before without being Klingon Agents. Sometimes all they need is a title, Mister Baris. Unfortunately disrupting a station is not an offense. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a ship to tend to. Au Revoir.

Later back on the Enterprise, Kirk and Spock enter the Rec Room, the tribbles situation has gotten worse. Kirk goes to a Food Synthesizer, his meal is covered by Tribbles

Kirk: My Chicken sandwich and coffee. This is my chicken sandwich and coffee.
 
Kirk: I want these things off the ship. I don't care if it takes every man we've got, I want them off the ship.
 
(Scotty enters, carrying an armful of fluff.)

SCOTTY: They're into the machinery, all right, and they're probably in all the other food processors too.
