TUC Line-by-Line

[Sovereign_One]

Martia: Somebody up there wants you out of the way.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Any progress?

 

[Leandar]

Valeris: None. We have a crew of three hundred turning their own quarters inside out, but the killers may be among them. Surely they've disposed of these boots by now. Would it not have been logical to leave them on Gorkon's ship?

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Even logic must give way to physics. Gravity had not been restored by the time they escaped. Without the boots they would have floated off the Klingon transporter pads.

 

[CoveTom]

CHEKOV: Why not simply waporize them?

 

[Brian]

VALERIS: Like this?

*pew* <WHOOP WHOOP>

VALERIS: At ease. As you know, Commander Chekov, no one can fire an unauthorized phaser aboard a starship. Suppose when they returned they threw the boots into the refuse?

 

[Leandar]

Spock: I'm having the refuse searched. If my surmise is correct these boots will cling to the killers' necks like a pair of Tiberian bats. They couldn't make their escape without them; nor can they simply throw them out a window for all to see; no - those boots are here. Somewhere.

 

[Brian]

UHURA: Did someone fire a phaser?!

 

[Leandar]

Chekov: It's alright. It's nothing. It's nothing.

 

[Brian]

UHURA: Mr. Spock. Starfleet is screaming for us to return to port.

 

[CoveTom]

SPOCK: Mr. Scott, I understand you're having trouble with the warp drive. How long do you estimate for repair?

 

[Leandar]

^^^Forgot one:

Scotty: Who fired that...?

SPOCK: Mr. Scott, I understand you're having trouble with the warp drive. How long do you estimate for repair?

Scotty: There's nothing wrong with the bloody thing!

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Mr. Scott. If we return to Spacedock, the assassins would surely find away to dispose of their incriminating footwear and we will never see the Captain and Dr. McCoy alive again.

 

[Leandar]

Scotty: Could take weeks, sir.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Thank you, Mr. Scott. Valeris, please inform Starfleet Command our warp drive is inoperative.

 

[Leandar]

Valeris: A lie?

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: An error.

 

[Leandar]

Uhura: You understand, we have lost all communication with the captain and Dr. McCoy?

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: Yes, at the moment they're surrounded by a magnetic shield. However, if I know the Captain, by this time he is deep into planning his escape.

 

[Leandar]

McCoy: You got him, Jim! You got him right where you want him!
