"The Trouble With Tribbles" Line-by-Line

[May 20]

KIRK: Ah.
(Kirk and Spock leave.)

 

[retroenzo]

BARMAN: I don't want any. I told you before, and I'm telling you again I don't want any more Spican flame gems. Thanks to you, I have enough Spican flame gems to last me a lifetime.

 

[May 20]

JONES: How sad for you, my friend. You won't find a finer stone anywhere. But I have something better. Surely you want some Antarian glow water.

 

[Tosk]

BARMAN: I use that to polish the flame gems.

(In the background, an odd looking humanoid orders something called a raktajino. )

 

[Brennyren]

JONES: You're a difficult man to reach, but I have something from the far reaches of the galaxy. Surely you want -- (from yet another pocket, the trader pulls out what looks like a ball of fluff)

 

[May 20]

BARMAN: Not at your price.

 

[Brennyren]

(Uhura sees the tribble, and is fascinated.)
UHURA: What is it? Is it alive? May I hold it?
(Jones puts it in her hand and it starts purring)

 

[May 20]

UHURA: Oh, it's adorable. What is it?

 

[Athena28]

JONES: What is it? Why, lovely lady, it's a tribble.

 

[retroenzo]

UHURA: A tribble?

 

[cosmic mouse]

JONES: Only the sweetest creature known to man, excepting, of course, your lovely self.

 

[May 20]

UHURA: Oh, it's purring. Listen, it's purring.

 

[retroenzo]

JONES: It's only saying that it likes you.

 

[May 20]

UHURA: Are you selling them?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

BARMAN: That's what we're trying to decide right now.

 

[Brennyren]

JONES: My friend, 10 credits apiece is a very reasonable price. Now you can see for yourself how much the lovely little lady appreciates the finer things.

 

[May 20]

BARMAN: One credit apiece.

 

[ChasFink]

CHEKOV: He won't bite, will he?

 

[Athena28]

JONES: Sir, transporting harmful animals from one planet to another is against regulations, or weren't you aware of that? Besides, tribbles have no teeth.

 

[mattman8907]

BARMAN: All right. I'll double my offer 2 credits.
