"Where No Man Has Gone Before" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Kelso: Well it didn't make any sense that he'd know, but naturally, I checked out the circuit anyway. I don't know how,but he was right. The point is burned out exactly as he described it.

 

[Leandar]

Dehner: Sorry I'm late. I became so interested in observing Gary, Mister Mitchell.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: Our subject is not Gary Mitchell. Our concern is rather, what he is mutating into.

 

[Leandar]

Dehner: I know those from your planet aren't supposed to have feelings like we do, Mr. Spock, but to talk that way about a man you've worked next to for years is worse than...

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: That's enough Doctor.

 

[Leandar]

Dehner: I don't think so. I understand you least of all. Gary told me that you've been friends since he joined the service, that you asked for him aboard your first command.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: It is my duty, whether pleasant or unpleasant, to listen to the reports, observations, even speculations, on any subject that might affect the safety of this vessel, and it's my science officers duty to see that I'm provided with that. Go ahead, Mister Spock.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Have you noted evidence of unusual powers?

 

[LeadHead]

Dehner: He can control certain autonomic reflexes. He reads very fast, retains more than most of us might consider usual.

 

[CoveTom]

KIRK: Mr. Scott, would you repeat what you just told us?

 

[Leandar]

Scotty: About an hour ago, the Bridge controls started going crazy. Levers shifting by themselves, buttons being pushed, instrument readings changing.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: And on my monitor screen I could see Mitchell smiling each time it happened, as if this ship and crew were almost a toy for his amusement.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Are they right, Doctor? Has he shown abilities of such magnitude?

 

[LeadHead]

Dehner: I saw some such indications.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: And you didn't think it worth mentioning?

 

[LeadHead]

Dehner: No one's been hurt, have they? Don't you understand? A mutated superior man could also be a wonderful thing. The forerunner of a new and better kind of human being.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Mr. Sulu...

 

[LeadHead]

Sulu: If you want the mathematics of this, Mitchell's ability is increasing geometrically. That's like taking a penny and doubling it every day, in a month, you'll be a millionaire.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: In less time than that, he will have attained powers we can't understand and can't cope with. Soon we'll be not only useless to him, but actually an annoyance.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: There'll be no discussion of this with the crew. Thank you.
