TUC Line-by-Line

Colonel West: Mister President, we've prepared Operation: Retrieve. We can go in, rescue the hostages, and get out in 24 hours with acceptable losses in manpower and equipment. We have the technology-

 

[Leandar]

President: Yes, yes, yes. But suppose you precipitate a full-scale war?

 

[LeadHead]

West: Well then quite frankly Mister President we can clean their chronometers.

 

[Leandar]

Nanclus: Mr. President, they are vulnerable. There will never be a better time.

 

[Brian]

CARTWRIGHT: The longer we wait, the less accessible the hostages will be, sir.

 

[Leandar]

President: Thank you Admiral, I'll bear that in mind. Thank you all, I believe that will be all for now.

VALERIS: Hundreds of years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by machines, threw their wooden shoes called 'Sabot' into the gears to stop them; hence the word 'Sabotage.'

 

[Leandar]

Uhura: "We are experiencing technical malfunction. All backup systems inoperative."

 

[CoveTom]

CHEKOV: Excellent. I... I mean... too bad.

 

[LeadHead]

Azetbur: Mister President, I've been name Chancellor of the High Council in my fathers place.

 

[CoveTom]

PRESIDENT: Madam Chancellor, you have my sincerest condolences on your recent loss. I want to assure you that this shameful deed...

 

[LeadHead]

Azetbur: Mister President, let us come to the point. You wanted this conference to go forth and so did my father. We will attend in one week, under one condition: We will not extradite the prisoners and you will make no attempt to rescue them in a military operation. We would consider any attempt to rescue them an act of war.

 

[CoveTom]

PRESIDENT: We look forward to having you as our guest here on Earth.

 

[LeadHead]

Azetbur: In light of recent events, you will understand when I say I prefer a neutral site, and in the interests of security, let us keep that location secret for now.
