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

[Leandar]

Spock: We'll never reach an Earth base with him aboard, Jim. You heard the mathematics of it. In a month he'll have as much in common with us as we'd have with a ship full of white mice.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I need a recommendation, Spock, not vague warnings.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Recommendation one. There's a planet a few light days away from here. Delta Vega. It has a lithium cracking station. We may be able to adapt some of its power packs to our engines.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Kirk: And if we can't? We'll be trapped in orbit there. We haven't enough power to blast back out.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: It is the only way to get Mitchell off this ship...

 

[Orac]

Kirk: If you mean strand Mitchell there I won't do it! The station is fully automated, there's not a soul on the whole planet. Even the ore ships call only once every 20 years.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Then you have one other choice: Kill Mitchell while you still can.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Get out.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: It is your only other choice, assuming you make it while you still have time.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Will you try for one moment to feel? At least act like you've got a heart? We're talking about Gary...

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: The Captain of the Valiant probably felt the same way, and he waited to long to make his decision. I think we've both guessed that.

 

[Captain Robert April]

Set course for Delta Vega.

 

[LeadHead]

Stardate 1313.1 We're now approaching Delta Vega. Course set for a standard orbit. This planet, completely uninhabited, is slightly smaller than Earth. Desolate, but rich in Crystal and Minerals. Kelso's task, transport down with a repair party, try to regenerate the main engines, save the ship. Our task, transport down a man I've known for 15 years, and if we're successful, maroon him there.

 

[Orac]

Mitchell: I'm thirsty. It's like a man who has been blind all of his life suddenly being given sight. Sometimes I feel like there's nothing I couldn't do given time. Some people think that makes me a monster don't they Jim?

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Are you reading all our thoughts, Gary?

 

[LeadHead]

Mitchell: I can sense mainly worry in you, Jim. The safety of your ship.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: What would you do in my place?

 

[Captain Robert April]

Probably what Mr. Spock is thinking right now.

Kill me. While you can.

 

[LeadHead]

Dehner: Stop it Gary!

 

[cooleddie74]

GARY: I also know we're orbiting Delta Vega, Jim! I can't let you leave me down there...not yet...I might want another place...I'm not sure just what kind of a planet I can USE.
