TVH Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Spock: Admiral, there may be a 20th century possibility.

 

[DeVario]

KIRK: Explain.

 

[Jeyl]

Spock: If memory serves, there was a dubious flirtation with nuclear fission reactors, resulting in toxic side effects. By the beginning of the fusion era, these reactors have been replaced, but at this time, we may be able to find some.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: But you said they were toxic.

 

[Brian]

SPOCK: We could create a device to collect the high energy photons safely. We could then inject the photons into the dilithium chamber, causing crystalline restructure. Theoretically.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Where would we find these reactors, theoretically?

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: Nuclear Power was widely used in Naval Vessels.

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: San Francisco. I was born there.

 

[DeVario]

MCCOY: It doesn't look all that different.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Put us down in Golden Gate Park.

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: Aye, sir. Descending.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: We'll divide into teams. Commanders Uhura and Chekov are assigned the Uranium Problem.

 

[CoveTom]

CHEKOV: Aye, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Doctor McCoy, Captain Scott and Commander Sulu, will convert us a whale tank.

 

[Leandar]

McCoy: Oh... joy!

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: While Captain Spock and I trace these Whale Songs to their source.

 

[DeVario]

UHURA: I'll have bearing and distance for you, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I want you all to be very, very careful. This is Terra Incognita. Many of their customs will doubtless take us by surprise.

(Everyone looks at Spock)

Kirk: It's a forgone conclusion that these people have never seen an extra-terrestrial before.

(Spock creates the Ear/Headband)

Kirk: This is an extremely primitive an paranoid culture. Mister Chekov will issue a Phaser and a Communicator to each team, we'll maintain radio silence except for emergencies. Any Questions? Let's do our job and get out of here. Our own world is waiting for us to save it. If we can. Commence Landing procedure.

 

[Ziz]

Kirk: Right.

I want you all to be very careful. This is terra incognita. Many customs will doubtless take us by surprise. It's a forgone conclusion these people have never seen an extra-terrestrial before.

Spock rips a strip out of his robe and ties it around his head like a headband, covering his ears.

Kirk (continues): This is an extremely primitive and paranoid culture. Mr. Chekov, issue
a phaser and communicator to each team.

We'll maintain radio silence except in emergency, Anyone in uniform, get rid of your rank insignia.

Any questions?

All right, let's do our job and get out of here. Our own world is waiting for us to save it if we can.

 

[DeVario]

GARBAGE MAN 1: Don't tell me you two were fighting again last night. I thought you made up. Why are you two always fighting?
