Lt. Mitchell:
Hey, man, I remember you back at the Academy; a stack of books with legs! The only thing I ever heard from an upperclassman was, "Watch out for Lt. Kirk! In his class, you either think, or sink!"
Capt. Kirk:
I wasn't THAT bad, was I?
Lt. Mitchell:
If I hadn't aimed that little blond technician at you...
Capt. Kirk:
You what? You... you PLANNED that?
Lt. Mitchell:
Well, you wanted me to think, didn't you? I outlined her whole campaign for her!
Capt. Kirk:
I almost MARRIED her!
Lt. Mitchell:
You better be good to me. I'm getting even better ideas here.
[During a game of chess]
Spock:
I'll have you checkmated your next move.
Kirk:
[chuckles] Have I ever mentioned you play an irritating game of chess, Mr. Spock?
Spock:
Irritating? Ah, yes... one of your Earth emotions.
[Kirk checkmates Spock]
Kirk:
Certain you don't know what irritation is?
Spock:
The fact one of my ancestors married a human female...
Kirk:
Terrible, having bad blood like that.
Kirk:
Dr. Dehner feels he isn't that dangerous! What makes you right and a trained psychiatrist wrong?
Spock:
Because she feels. I don't. All I know is logic. We'll be lucky to repair this ship and get away in time.
Spock:
We'll never reach an Earth base with him aboard. 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.
Capt. Kirk:
I need a recommendation, not vague warnings.
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.
Capt. Kirk:
And if we can't? We'll be trapped in orbit there. We haven't enough power to blast back out.
Spock:
It is the only possible way to get Mitchell off this ship.
Capt. Kirk:
If you mean strand Mitchell there, I won't do it! That station is fully automated; there's not a soul on the whole planet. Even the ore ships call only once every 20 years!
Spock:
Then you have one other choice: kill Mitchell while you still can.

:
[offended] Get out of here.
Spock:
It is your only other choice, assuming you make it while you still have time!
Capt. Kirk:
Will you try, for one moment, to feel? At least act like you got a heart! We're talking about Gary!
Spock:
The captain of the Valiant probably felt the same way, and he waited too long to make his decision. I think we've both guessed that.
Capt. Kirk:
[drained] Set course for Delta Vega.
Lt. Mitchell:
Command and compassion is a fool's mixture!
Lt. Mitchell:
Morals are for men, not gods.
[Dr. Elizabeth Dehner breathes her last]
Dr. Dehner:
I'm sorry. You can't know what it's like to be almost a god.
Capt. Kirk:
Captain's Log, stardate 8: add to official losses Doctor Elizabeth Dehner - be it noted she gave her life in performance of her duty; Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell, same notation.
[to Spock]
Capt. Kirk:
I want his service record to end that way; he didn't ask for what happened to him.
Spock:
I felt for him, too.
Capt. Kirk:
[amazed] I believe there's some hope for you after all, Mr. Spock.
Mister Spock:
Take D'Artagnan here to Sickbay.
[Said of Sulu after he was subdued while waving a sword around the bridge]
Capt. Kirk:
Jones?
Yeoman Smith:
The name's Smith, sir.
Mister Spock:
He's reading faster now than just a few moments ago. Is that Gary Mitchell, the one you used to know?
Lt. Mitchell:
He's a fool. A fool! He'd seen those points and he hadn't noticed their condition.
Dr. Dehner:
How do you know?
Lt. Mitchell:
The image of what he'd seen was still in his mind.
Dr. Dehner:
Don't you understand? A mutated, superior man could also be a wonderful thing!
Mister Spock:
Soon, we'll be not only useless to him, but actually an annoyance.
Dr. Dehner:
There's no soul on this planet but us?
Capt. Kirk:
Nobody but us chickens, doctor.复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制
