"The Trouble With Tribbles" Line-by-Line

[mattman8907]

MCCOY: A lot of them are dead. A lot of them are alive, but they won't be for long.

 

[May 20]

SPOCK: The logical assumption is that there is something in the grain.

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Yes. Bones, I want the tribbles, the grain, everything analysed. I want to know what killed these tribbles.

 

[May 20]

MCCOY: I haven't figured out what keeps them alive yet. All right, if I find out anything, I'll let you know. (leaves)

 

[Brennyren]

BARIS: That isn't going to do you any good, Kirk! This project is ruined, and Starfleet is going to hear about it. And when they do, they will have a board of inquiry and they will roast you alive. And I am going to be there, Kirk, to enjoy every minute of it!

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Until that inquiry, I'm still the captain. And as Captain, I want two things done. First, find Cyrano Jones, and second (as another tribble hits him on the head) close that door.

[Lurry's office]

(A security guard is picking up tribbles.)
JONES: Really, Captain Kirk, I must protest this treatment!

 

[May 20]

KIRK: Ah, Mister Jones, with an armful. A few questions.

 

[Athena28]

KOLOTH: Captain Kirk!

 

[May 20]

KIRK: What do you want?

 

[mattman8907]

KOLOTH: An official apology addressed to the Klingon High Command. I expect you to assume full responsibility for the persecution of Klingon nationals in this quadrant.

 

[Brennyren]

KIRK: An apology?

 

[mattman8907]

KOLOTH: Yes. You've harassed my men. You've treated them like criminals. You've been most uncourteous, Captain Kirk. If you wish to avoid a diplomatic incident

 

[Brennyren]

BARIS: No, Kirk! You can't let him! That will give them the wedge they need to claim Sherman's Planet.

 

[May 20]

SPOCK: I believe that more than the word of an aggrieved Klingon commander would be necessary for that, Mister Baris.

 

[mattman8907]

KOLOTH: Mister Spock, as far as Sherman's Planet is concerned, Captain Kirk has already given it to us.

 

[Brennyren]

KIRK: Well, we'll see about that. But before I take any official action, I'd like to know just what happened. Who put the tribbles in the quadrotriticale? What was in the grain that killed them?

 

[mattman8907]

KOLOTH: Captain Kirk, before you go on, may I make a request?

 

[Brennyren]

KIRK: Yes.

 

[mattman8907]

KOLOTH: Can you get those things out of here?
(The guards take Jones' tribbles from him. They get to the door as Darvin enters, and the tribbles shriek.)
