• [last lines] 

  Capt. Kirk : Well, this is an Enterprise first - Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock and Engineer Scott find themselves in complete agreement. Can I stand the strain?

  [chuckles] 

• Scott : [on intercom]  Scott here.

  Capt. Kirk : Scotty, where've you been? Where are you?

  Scott : In the Sickbay.

  Capt. Kirk : Are you sick?

  Scott : Oh, no. I was just checkin' on the lass. She's going to be fine, though. There's nothing wrong with her.

  Capt. Kirk : Well, I'm relieved to hear your prognosis, Mr. Scott. Is the doctor there with you or will I find HIM in Engineering?

• Capt. Kirk : Capt. Kirk to Mr. Scott.

  Scott : [on intercom]  Scott here, sir.

  Capt. Kirk : Mr. Scott, how's Lt. Romaine?

  Scott : Beautiful, Captain.

• Dr. McCoy : A comparison of our Steinman with Starfleet records shows that Lt. Romaine's fingerprints, voice analysis, all external factors remain exactly the same as before; however, according to two hyperencephalograms, her brainwave pattern has been altered.

  Capt. Kirk : But that's impossible.

  Dr. McCoy : That's what I was taught.

• Capt. Kirk : [Captain's log]  When a man of Scotty's years falls in love, the loneliness of his life is suddenly revealed to him. His whole heart once throbbed only to the ship's engines.

• Capt. Kirk : [having beamed down to Memory Alpha]  Damage report, Spock.

  Mr. Spock : A disaster for the galaxy, Captain. The central brain is damaged. The memory core is burned out. The loss to the galaxy may be irretrievable.

• Mr. Spock : Memory Alpha has no protective shields.

  Capt. Kirk : No shields?

  Mr. Spock : None, Captain. When the library complex was assembled, shielding was considered inappropriate to its totally academic purpose. Since the information on the memory planet is freely available to everyone, special protection was deemed unnecessary.

  Capt. Kirk : [sarcastically]  Wonderful.

• Capt. Kirk : Would either of you credit Scotty's steadfast belief in her as a factor?

  Mr. Spock : You mean, love as motivation? Hmm. Humans do claim a great deal for that particular emotion.

• Lt. Mira Romaine : I saw Scotty.

  Capt. Kirk : Where?

  Lt. Mira Romaine : I don't know.

  Capt. Kirk : What was he doing?

  Lt. Mira Romaine : He was dying.

• Capt. Kirk : [In a near whisper, urging Mr. Spock to increase the pressure of the chamber in which Lt. Mira Romaine is being treated]  Pressure, Spock, pressure!
