"Tomorrow is Yesterday" Line-by-Line

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: I'm afraid you'll have to. We can't send you back.

 

[Alienesse]

CHRISTOPHER: Can't? Spock here told me that your transporter can beam down an object even from an orbit this high.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: It's not the transporter. It's you. You know what the future looks like. If anybody else finds out, they could change the course of it, destroy it.

 

[Alienesse]

CHRISTOPHER: Well then my disappearance would change something, too.

 

[Admiral Shran]

SPOCK: I have run a computer check on all historical tapes. They show no record of any relevant contribution by John Christopher.

 

[Alienesse]

CHRISTOPHER: Look, Captain, I don't buy all your time accident story. The experts can figure out who you are and what you are. It's my duty to report what I've seen. Well, what would you do?

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: I'd report, If I could. We can't take the risk.

 

[Alienesse]

CHRISTOPHER: I don't want to know about risks. I have a wife, two children. What about them?

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: I'm sorry.

[Admiral Shran]

[Captain's quarters]

KIRK: But what, Scotty?

 

[Alienesse]

[Engineering]

SCOTT: Well sir, as I say, the engines are being repaired, but we've no place to go in this time. If you, if you see what I mean?

[Captain's quarters]

SCOTT [OC]: Sir?

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: Yes, Scotty. Carry on.

 

[Alienesse]

CHRISTOPHER: Too bad, Captain. Maybe I can't go home, but neither can you. You're as much a prisoner in time as I am.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Captain's Log Stardate 3113.7. Our engines are being repaired, but we are still locked in time, and we have aboard a passenger whom we do not want, and we cannot return.

 

[Alienesse]

[Captain's quarters]

COMPUTER: Recommendation for his disposition, dear?

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: Maintenance note. My recording computer has a serious malfunction. Recommend it either be corrected or scrapped. Compute.
