"Wolf in the Fold" Line-By-Line

[Leandar]

Spock: Which would tend to support the proposition that the murderer was not human. Deriving sustenance from emotion is not unknown in the galaxy, and fear is among the strongest and most violent of emotions.

 

[Orac]

Piglet: Surely, Prefect, this has gone far enough. Someone, some man has killed three women. We have the prime suspect in our hands. Are we going to let him go and start chasing ghosts?

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: No, Mister Hengist, not ghosts. Possibly not human, but not ghosts. Mister Spock, check out the possibilities.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: Computer, digest log recordings for past 5 solar minutes. Correlate hypotheses. Compare with life forms register. Question: Could such an entity within discussed limits exist in this galaxy?

 

[Orac]

Computer: The Drella of Alpha Carinae Five derives nourishment from the emotion of love. There is sufficient precedent for existence of creature, nature unknown, which could exist on emotion of fear.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Computer, extrapolate most likely composition of such entity.

 

[Orac]

Computer: Working. To meet with specified requirements, entity would exist without form in conventional sense. Most probable mass of energy of highly cohesive electromagnetic field.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Computer, could the described entity assume physical form?

 

[Orac]

Computer: Affirmative. Precedent, mellitus, cloud creature of Alpha Majoris One.

 

[Athena28]

HENGIST: Fairy tales. Ghosts and goblins.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: No, I've seen the mellitus myself. In its natural state, it's gaseous. When it's at rest, it's solid. Mister Spock, let's assume the existence of this creature.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: I point out that Jack the Ripper slew at will in the heart of the most populous city of old Earth and was never identified.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: Doesn't seem likely, does it?

 

[LeadHead]

Spock:I suggest the possibility of a hypnotic screen, which blinds all but the victim to the presence of the killer.

 

[Enterprise1981]

JARIS: Is that possible?

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Extremely possible. There are many such examples that exist in nature.

 

[Enterprise1981]

HENGIST: This is fantasy! We all know the murderer is sitting right here. You're trying to cloud the issue. I've got a mind to...

 

[LeadHead]

Jaris: I am satisfied the course of this investigation is valid enough. Please be seated, Mister Hengist.

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: All right, Mr. Spock, what do we have? A creature without form, that feeds on horror and fear, that must assume a physical shape to kill.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: And I suspect preys on women because women are more easily and more deeply terrified, generating more sheer horror than the male of the species.

That line was tough to type, Sexism is NOT logical.
