"The Trouble With Tribbles" Line-by-Line

[ChasFink]

UHURA [OC]: Captain?

 

[Brennyren]

KIRK: Kirk here.

 

[cosmic mouse]

UHURA [on monitor]: I'm picking up a subspace distress call. Priority channel. It's from Space Station K7.

 

[ChasFink]

KIRK: Go to warp factor six.

 

[May 20]

CHEKOV: Code One emergency. That's a disaster call.

 

[Brennyren]

UHURA [OC]: This is a Red Alert. Man your battle stations. All hands.

 

[May 20]

Captain's Log, stardate 4523.3. Deep Space Station K7 has issued a priority one call. More than an emergency, it signals near or total disaster. We can only assume the Klingons have attacked the station. We're going in armed for battle.

[Bridge]

CHEKOV: Main phasers armed and ready, sir.
(The space station is on the main viewer, looking intact.)
CHEKOV: But there's nothing there. Just the station.

 

[May 20]

KIRK: Priority One distress call, and it's just absolutely peaceful. Lieutenant Uhura, break subspace silence.

 

[Catarina]

UHURA: Aye, sir. The channel's open, sir.

 

[May 20]

KIRK: Space Station K7, this is Captain Kirk of the Enterprise. What is your emergency?

 

[mattman8907]

LURRY [OC]: This is Mister Lurry, manager of K7. I must apologise for the distress call.

 

[May 20]

KIRK: Mister Lurry, you issued a Priority One distress call. State the nature of your emergency.

 

[mattman8907]

LURRY [OC]: Well, perhaps you better beam over. I'll try to explain.

 

[May 20]

KIRK: You'll try to explain. You'd better be prepared to do more than that. Kirk out. Mister Spock, I'll need your help. Mister Chekov, maintain battle readiness. Lieutenant Uhura, see that the transporter room is standing by.

 

[ChasFink]

UHURA: Aye, sir. Transporter room, stand by.

 

[Athena28]

[Lurry's office]

KIRK: Mr. Lurry, if there's no emergency, why did you issue a priority one distress call?

 

[May 20]

BARIS: That was my order, Captain.

 

[mattman8907]

LURRY: Captain Kirk, this is Nilz Baris. He's out from Earth to take charge of the development project on Sherman's Planet.

 

[May 20]

KIRK: And that gives you the authority to put an entire quadrant on defense alert?
