TOS Episode quote game

Since I temporarily halted the Movie Quote game last week, I thought it would only be fair if I started a quote game for each series...So here goes...Name the character who spoke the line, to whom it was spoken, the episode it appeared in, and maybe some context in which the line was spoken...

"He gave his life in an attempt to save others. Not the worst way to go."

Anyone?
 
^ Captain Kirk to Spock in The Doomsday Machine regarding Decker's suicide attack on the planet killer.

"The women on your planet are completely rational and logical, that's the only planet in this galaxy that can make that claim!"
 
Good Kirk to Evil Kirk in The Enemy Within during the final confrontation on the Bridge.

"I know what time it is. I don't need a bloomin' cuckoo clock."
 
^^^ Scotty, referring to Spock's countdown to destruction in "That Which Survives".


"Murderers!! Assassins!!"
 
Yeah, okay I didn't try very hard.
How 'bout this...


"In fact I do. But only to a certain point."
 
Spock, regarding Capt. Christopher's comment "You don't trust me, do you Mr. Spock?"


"A mass of conflicting impulses."
 
Nomad to Spock regarding Uhura (or women in general?)

"Then may heaven have helped your mother."
 
Scotty, when Spock remarked that Balok reminded him of his father.
[The Corbomite Maneuver]

Next:
"Fortunately this bark has suitable tensile cohesion."

Spock to Kirk in Friday's Child regarding the trees they use to make bows and arrows.

Next:
It never makes any sense. We both have to know that there was a reason.

"Command and compassion are a fool's mixture"

{Whoops, too slow on the keyboard... Balance of Terror, Kirk to Angela}

Gary Mitchell to Elizabeth Dehner in Where No Man Has Gone Before regarding Kirk's intention to reason with him.

"I expect the area of penetration to be extremely sensitive..."
 
^^^Spock in Immunity Syndrome as he flies in to the amoeba? I'll hold off another quote because I don't know if that's right.
 
How about: "...we're going nowhere, mighty fast"
Scotty to Kirk in reference to the Enterprise circling at Warp 10 in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"

Next: "well, maybe it works for you, Mr. Spock, but it doesn't work for me!"
