Kirk: "Captain's Log, Stardate 9522.6  I've never trusted Klingons...and I never
  will.  I can never forgive them for the death of my boy.  It seems to me that
  our mission to escort the Chancellor of the...Klingon High Council to a *peace
  mission*...is problematic at best.  Spock says this could be an historic
  occasion.  Now, I'd like to believe him...but how on Earth can history get
  past people like me?"
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Kirk: "You piloted well out of Spacedock, Lieutenant."
Valeris: "I've always wanted to try that, sir."
--Kirk and Valeris, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

  expectations."
--Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Valeris: "I do not understand this representation."
Spock: "It is a depiction from ancient Earth mythology.  The expulsion from
  Paradise."
Valeris: "Why keep it in your quarters?"
Spock: "It is a reminder to me that all things end."
--Valeris and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Valeris: "It is of endings that I wish to speak.  Sir, I address you as a
  kindred intellect.  Do you not recognize that a turning point has been reached
  in the affairs of the Federation?"
Spock: "Hmm.  History is replete with turning points, Lieutenant.  You must have
  faith."
Valeris: "'Faith'?"
Spock: "That the universe will unfold as this ship."
Valeris: "But if that is logical, surely we must--"
Spock: "Logic, logic, logic...  Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not
  the end."
--Valeris and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Spock: "This will be my final voyage on board this vessel as a member of her
  crew.  Nature abhors a vacuum.  I intend you to replace me."
Valeris: "I can only succeed you, sir."
--Spock and Valeris, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

  your meeting on Earth."

Kirk: "Would you and your party care to dine this evening aboard the Enterprise
  with my officers...as guests of the United Federation of Planets?"
Gorkon: "We would be delighted to accept your gracious invitation."
Kirk: "We'll make arrangements to have you beamed aboard at nineteen-hundred
  hours."
Gorkon: "I shall look forward to that."
--Kirk and Chancellor Gorkon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Kirk: "I hope you're happy."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

  evening pass more...smoothly?"

--Valeris and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Chekov: "Guess who's coming to dinner?"
--Chekov, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

--Chancellor Gorkon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Kerla: "Captain Kirk, I thought Romulan ale was illegal?"
Kirk: "One of the advantages of being a thousand light years from Federation
  Headquarters."
--Brigadier Kerla and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

McCoy: "To you, Chancellor Gorkon.  One of the architects of our future."

Chang: "Ah."
--General Chang and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Kirk: "Far be it for me to dispute my first officer, but Starfleet has always

  warriors are cold warriors."
--Kirk and Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Uhura: "Uh, General, are you fond of...Shake...speare?"
--Uhura, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Chekov: "We do believe that all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable
  human rights."
Azetbur: "'Inalien'.  If only you could hear yourselves.  'Human rights'.  Why
  the very name is racist.  The Federation is no more than a Homo-sapians-only
  club."
Chang: "Present company excepted, of course."
--Chekov, Azetbur, and General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

McCoy: "No!"
--Brigadier Kerla and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Chang: "'To be or not to be?'  That is the question which preoccupies our
  people, Captain Kirk.  We need breathing room."

Chang: "I beg your pardon?"
--General Chang and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Gorkon: "Well...I see we have a long way to go."
--Chancellor Gorkon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Kirk: "We must do this again sometime."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Gorkon: "You don't trust me, do you?"
--Chancellor Gorkon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

  the hardest time living in it."
--Chancellor Gorkon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Scott: "Thank God."
Uhura: "Did you see the way they *ate*?"
Chekov: "Horrible table manners."
Spock: "I doubt that our behavior will distinguish us in the annals of
  diplomacy."
Kirk: "I'm going to sleep this off.  Please let me know if there's some other
  way we can screw up tonight?"
McCoy: "I'm going to find a pot of black coffee."
--Scott, Uhura, Chekov, Spock, Kirk, and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9522.6

Kirk: "Captain's Log, Stardate 9523.8  The Enterprise hosted Chancellor Gorkon
  and company to dinner last night.  Our manners weren't exactly Emily Post.  A
  note to the Galley, Romulan ale no longer to be served at diplomatic
  functions."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Valeris, do you know anything about a radiation surge?"

--Kirk, Valeris, and Chekov, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "What's happened?"
Spock: "We have fired on the chancellor's ship."

--Klingon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "Have you not a shred a decency...in you, Kirk?  We come in peace, and
  you *blatantly* defile that peace!  And for that, I shall blow you out of the
  stars!"
--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "We haven't fired."
Spock: "Captain...according to our databanks we have...twice."
--Kirk and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "We surrender!"
--Kirk and Uhura, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "Are we firing torpedoes?"
Kirk: "I wish I knew."
McCoy: "It sure looks like it."
--McCoy and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Starate 9523.8

Kirk: "I'm going aboard.  Spock, you have the Conn."
Spock: "I am responsible for involving you in this, I will go."
Kirk: "No, I'll go.  You will be responsible for getting me out of this."
--Kirk and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "We will not be the instigators of interstellar war on the eve of
  universal peace."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kerla: "Have you lost your mind?"
--Brigadier Kerla, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "My god, what has happened here?"
Chang: "You dare to feign ignorance?"
Kirk: "What happened?"
Chang: "With a direct torpedo hit, you crippled our entire gravitational field!
  And two of your...Starfleet crew beamed aboard wearing magnetic boots...and
  did this."
--Kirk and General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "Aren't you carrying a surgeon?"
Chang: "We were until this disgrace!"

McCoy: "Oh, sweet Jesus!"
Kirk: "Can you help him?"
McCoy: "Jim, I don't even know his anatomy!"
--McCoy and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Gorkon: "Don't let it end this way."
--Chancellor Gorkon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "Under Article Number One-Hundred and Eight-Four of your...Interstellar
  Law, I am placing you under arrest, for the charge of assassinating...the

--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Uhura: "They've been arrested."
--Uhura, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

  And an armed conflict is precisely what the captain wished to avoid.  We will
  be able to follow the captain's movements."
Valeris: "How did you achieve this, sir?"
Spock: "Time is precious, Lieutenant."
--Valeris and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Spock: "We must endeavour to piece together what happened tonight.  According to
  our databank, this ship fired those torpedoes."
Scott: "No way!"
Spock: "I sympathize, Mister Scott.  But we need evidence.  Please accompany
  me."
--Spock and Scott, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chekov: "And if we cannot peice together what happened?  What then, sir?"
Spock: "In that case, Mister Chekov, it resides in the purview of the
  diplomats."
--Chekov and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Klingon Ambassador: "The Chancellor of the High Council is *dead*!  The result
  of an *unprovoked* attack, while he travelled to see *you* on a flag* of
  *truce* on a mission of *peace*!  Captain Kirk was legally arrested for the
  crime.  May I remind you that he and *Doctor McCoy* boarded Kronos One of
  their own free will?  None of these facts are in dispute, Mister President."
UFP President: "I have ordered a full-scale investigation.  In the meantime..."
Klingon Ambassador: "'In the meantime', we expect the Federation to abdige by
  the Articles of *Interstellar Law* which you claim to cherish!  Kirk and
  Doctor McCoy will stand trial for the assassination of Chancellor Gorkon!"
--Klingon Ambassador and UFP President, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

UFP President: "Ambassador Sarek, there must be some way to extradite these
  men."
Sarek: "Mister President, I share a matter of personal responsibility in this
  matter.  But I am obliged to confirm my esteemed colleague's legal
  interpretation."
--UFP President and Sarek, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

UFP President: "What is the position of the Romulan government, Ambassador
  Nanclus?"
Nanclus: "I must concur with my colleagues."
UFP President: "But you can't possibly believe that James Kirk assassinated the
  Chancellor of the High Council!"
Nanclus: "Mister President, I don't know what to believe."
--UFP Presdent and Nanclus, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Klingon Ambassador: "I'm waiting for your answer, sir."
UFP President: "This president is not above the law."
--Klingon Ambassador and UFP President, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Nanclus: "There will never be a better time."
--Nanclus, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "Four-hundred years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their
  livelihood threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes, called 'sabot',
  into the machines to stop them."
Uhura and Chekov: [Look at each other dumbfoundedly]
Valeris: "Hence the word...'sabotage'."
--Valeris, Uhura, and Chekov, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Uhura: "We are experiencing technical malfunction.  All backup systems
  inoperative."
Chekov: "Excellent...I, I, I mean...too bad."
--Uhura and Chekov, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Azetbur: "We will not extradite the prisoners, and you will make no attempt to
  rescue them in a military operation.  We would consider...any such attempt...
  an act of war."
--Azetbur, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Klingon: "Better to live on our feet than to die at our knees!"
--Klingon, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Azetbur: "War is obsolete...as we are in danger of becoming."
--Azetbur, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "Your father was killed for what he wanted."
--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Azetbur: "The peace process will go forward.  Kirk...Kirk will pay for my
  father's death."
--Azetbur, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

C-In-C: "It's a damned show trial!"
--Commander-In-Chief, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "The Enterprise fired on Kronos One without provocation, the chancellor
  and his advisors, having been lulled into a false sense of security, by an
  invitation to a state dinner aboard Captain Kirk's vessel, at precisely
  nineteen-hundred and thirty hours that same evening."
--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Klingon: "After the first shot we lost our gravitational field.  I found myself
  weightless and unable to function.  Then two Starfleet crewmen came walking
  towards me."
Worf: "But perhaps they merely wore Starfleet uniforms."
Chang: "That remark is purely speculative, I move that it be stricken."
Judge: "Colonel Worf, we are interested in facts, not theories!"
--Klingon, Colonel Worf, General Chang, and Klingon Judge, "STVI:TUC", Stardate
  9523.8

Worf: "If the gravitational field was not functioning, how could these men be
  walking?"
Klingon: "They appeared to be wearing magnetic boots."
Spock: "Gravity boots."
--Colonel Worf, Klingon, and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8 

Chang: "Doctor McCoy, would you be so good as to tell me...what is your current
  medical status?"
McCoy: "Aside from a touch of arthritis, I'd say pretty good."
--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "And you have a singular wit, Doctor."
--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "For twenty-seven years, I've been the ship's surgeon aboard the U.S.S.
  Enterprise.  In three months I stand down."
Chang: "Ahh.  You know, I believe that you consumed rather a generous amount of
  ...Romulan ale in the Officer's Mess on the night in question.  Am I right,
  Doctor?"
Worf: "Objection!"
Judge: "Sustained."
McCoy: "We all did!  All of us!  That doesn't mean--"
--McCoy, General Chang, Colonel Worf, and Klingon Judge, "STVI:TUC", Stardate
  9523.8

Chang: "Was Chancellor Gorkon...alive when you first examined him?"
McCoy: "Barely."
Chang: "Now be careful, Doctor, have you ever, in your past, saved...patients as
  'barely' alive as he?"
McCoy: "I didn't have the medical knowledge I needed for Klingon anatomy."
Chang: "I see."
McCoy: "You were there!"
--General Chang and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "You say you are due for retirement!  May I ask, do your hands shake?"
Worf: "Objection!"
McCoy: "I was nervous!"
Chang: "No.  You were incompetant.  YOU WERE INCOMPETANT!  Whether deliberately
  or as a result of age combined with drink!  The court will have to determine."
--General Chang, Colonel Worf, and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "My God, man!  I tried to save him!  I tried to save him!  I was
  desperate to save him!  He was the last best hope in the universe for peace."
--McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "There we have it, citizens.  We have finally established the particulars
  of the crime.  And now, we come to the architect of this tragic event...James
  ...*Tiberius*...Kirk."
--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "What would your favorite author say, 'Let us sit upon the ground and
  tell sad stories of the death of kings.'  Tell us your sad story, Kirk."
--General Chang, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "Tell us that you planned to take revenge for the death of your son."
Kirk: "That's not true."
Worf: "Objection!  Captain Kirk has not been identified as the assassin!"
Judge: "Sustained."
--General Chang, Kirk, Colonel Worf, and Klingon Judge, "STVI:TUC", Stardate
  9523.8

Chang: "I offer into the record this exerpt from the captain's personal log."
Kirk's voice: "I have never trusted Klingons...and I never will.  I have never
  been able to forgive them...for the death of my boy."
Chang: "AGAIN!  AGAIN!"
Kirk's voice: "I have never trusted Klingons...and I never will.  I have never
  been able to forgive them...for the death of my boy."
Chang: "Were those your words?"
Kirk: "Those words were spoken by me."
--General Chang and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Worf: "Objection!  My client's political views on *not* on trial!"
Chang: "On the contrary!  Captain Kirk's views and motives are indeed...at the 
  very *heart* of the matter!  This officer's record shows him to be an
  insubordinate, unprincipled, career-minded *opportunist*, with a history of
  violating the chain of command whenever it suited him!"
Judge: "Continue."
Chang: "Indeed, the record shows, that Captain Kirk once held the rank of
  admiral!  And that Admiral Kirk was demoted for taking matters into his own
  hands in defiance of the regulations of the law!  DO YOU DENY THE MOTIVES OF
  THESE CHARGES?  DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION!  ANSWER ME NOW!"
Kirk: "I cannot deny it."
--Colonel Worf, General Chang, Klingon Judge, and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate
  9523.8

Chang: "You were demoted?"
Kirk: "Yes."
Chang: "For insubordiation?"
Kirk: "On occasion, I have disobeyed orders."
--General Chang and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "And were you obeying or disobeying orders...when you arranged the
  assassination of Chancellor Gorkon?"
Kirk: "I didn't know about the assassination until we boarded the ship."
Chang: "Do you still deny that you did not fire on Kronos One?"
Worf: "Your Honors, *please*!"
Chang: "And do you still deny your men beamed aboard and shot the chancellor?"
Worf: "Objection!"
Kirk: "I cannot confirm or deny actions I did not witness."
--General Chang, Kirk, and Colonel Worf, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chang: "Captain Kirk, are you aware, that as the captain of a starship, you are
  required to be responsible for the actions of your crew?"
Kirk: "I am."
Chang: "And if it should be proved that members of your crew *did* in fact carry
  out such an assassination..."
McCoy: "Jim, they're setting us up!  Your Honors--"
Worf: "Do not answer!"
Judge: "Captain Kirk, you will answer the question!"
Kirk: "As captain...I am responsible for the conduct of the crew under my
  command."
Chang: "Your Honors, the State rests."
--General Chang, Kirk, McCoy, Colonel Worf, and Klingon Judge, "STVI:TUC",
  Stardate 9523.8

Sulu: "Send to commander, Enterprise...'We stand ready to assist you.  Captain
  Sulu, U.S.S. Excelsior.'"
--Sulu, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Judge: "It is the determination of this court that the prisoners are...*guilty*
  as charged."
--Klingon Judge, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Worf: "I wish to note for the record that the evidence against my clients is
  entirely circumstantial.  I *beg* the court to consider this, when pronouncing
  its sentence."
Judge: "So noted."
--Colonel Worf and Klingon Judge, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Judge: "Captain James T. Kirk, Doctor Leonard McCoy, in the interests of...
  fostering amity, for the forthcoming peace talks, the sentence of death is...
  commuted.  It is the judgement of this court, that without possibility of
  repreive or parole, you be taken from this place, to the dilithium mines of
  the penal asteroid of Rura Penthe, there to spend the rest of your natural
  lives!"
--Klingon Judge, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Uhura: "Rura Penthe."
Chekov: "Known throughout the galaxy as 'The Aliens' Graveyard'."
Scott: "Better to kill them now and get it over with."
--Uhura, Chekov, and Scott, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Spock: "An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible,
  whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
--Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "A Bird of Prey?"
Spock: "A Bird of Prey."
--Valeris and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Scott: "A Bird of Prey cannot fire when she's cloaked."
Spock: "All things being equal, Mister Scott, I would agree.  However, things
  are not equal.  This one can."
--Scott and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "We must inform Starfleet Command."
Scott: "Inform them of what?  A new weapon, that is invisible?  'Raving
  lunatics', that's what they'll call us.  They'll say that we're so desperate
  to exornerate the captain, that we'll say anything."
Spock: "And they would be correct.  We have no evidence.  Only a theory, which
  happens to fit the facts."
--Valeris, Scott, and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chekov: "I do not understand.  If there was a ship underneath us, surely the
  assassins beamed aboard from that wessel, not Enterprise."
Spock: "You're forgetting something, Mister Chekov.  According to our databanks,
  this ship fired those torpedoes.  If we did, the killers are here.  If we did
  not, whoever altered the databanks is here.  In either case, what we are
  looking for, is here."
--Chekov and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chekov: "What are we looking for, sir?"
Spock: "Lieutenant..." 
Valeris: "Two pairs of gravity boots."
--Chekov, Spock, and Valeris, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Commandant: "This is the gulag Rura Penthe!  There is no stockade, no guard
  tower, no electronic frontier!  Only a magnetic shield prevents beaming!
  Punishment means exile from the prison to the surface!  On the surface,
  nothing can survive!  Work *well*, and you will be treated *well*.  Work
  *badly*, and you will die."
--Klingon Commandant, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Oh my god."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Uh, the uh, Universal Translator was confiscated."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "He's definately on about something, Jim."
--McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "If this is your spot, we'll move on."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "He wants your obediance to the Brotherhood of Aliens."
Kirk: "He's got it!"
Martia: "And your coat."
Kirk: "I'm afraid not.  Besides, it wouldn't fit him."
--Martia and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Thanks."
Martia: "This will help keep you warm."
--Kirk and Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "I'm Martia.  You're Kirk and McCoy, I presume?"
Kirk: "How did you know that?"
Martia: "We don't get many presidential assassins."
Kirk: "We didn't kill Gorkon!"
Martia: "Of course not."
--Martia and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "But there is a reward for your death."
McCoy: "It figures."
--Martia and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "We've been set up all along."
Martia: "Somebody up there wants you out of the way."
--Kirk and Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chekov: "Why not simply waperize them?"
Valeris: "Like this?  At ease.  As you know, Commander Chekov, no one can fire
  an unauthorized phaser aboard a starship."
--Chekov and Valeris, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "Suppose when they returned, they threw the boots into the refuse?"
Spock: "I'm having the refuse searched.  If my surmise is correct, those boots
  will cling to the killers' necks like a pair of Tiberian bats."
--Valeris and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Uhura: "Did someone fire off a phaser?"
--Uhura, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chekov: "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing."
--Chekov, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Scott: "Who fired that--"
--Scott, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Spock: "Ahh, Mister Scott, I understand you're having difficulty with the warp
  drive.  How much time do you require for repair?"
Scott: "There's nothing wrong with the bloody things."
Spock: "Mister Scott, if we return to Spacedock, the assassins will surely find
  a way to dispose of their incriminating footwear.  And we will never see the
  captain or Doctor McCoy alive again."
Scott: "Could take weeks, sir."
--Spock and Scott, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "A lie?"
Spock: "An error."
--Valeris and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Uhura: "You understand, we have lost all contact with the captain and Doctor
  McCoy."
Spock: "Yes, at the moment, they're surrounded by a magnetic shield.  However,
  if I know the captain, at this time, he is deep into planning his escape."
--Uhura and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "You've got him where you want him!"
--McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "They'll respect you now."
Kirk: "That's a comfort."
--Martia and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "I was lucky that thing had knees."
Martia: "That was not his knee."
--Kirk and Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "Not everybody keeps their genitals in the same place, Captain."
--Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Bones, why don't you see what you can do for him.  Let him know we're not
  holding a grudge."
McCoy: "Suppose he's holding a grudge?"
--Kirk and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "Three months before retirement.  What a way to finish."
Kirk: "We're not finished."
McCoy: "Huh?  Speak for yourself.  One day, one night, Kobayashi Maru."
--McCoy and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Bones, are you afraid of the future?"
McCoy: "I believe that was the general idea that I was trying to convey."
--Kirk and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "I don't mean this future."
McCoy: "What is this?  Multiple choice?"
--Kirk and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Some people are afraid...of what might happen.  I was terrified."
McCoy: "What terrified you, specifically?"
Kirk: "No more Neutral Zone.  I was used to hating Klingons.  It never even
  occurred for me to take Gorkon at his word.  Spock was right."
McCoy: "Try not to be too hard on yourself, we all felt exactly the same."
Kirk: "No.  Somebody felt a lot worse.  I'm beginning to understand why."
--Kirk and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "Well, you've got any bright ideas, now's the time."
--McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Time's the problem.  You and I are nothing.  But you heard the judge, the
  peace conference is on again.  Whoever killed Gorkon is bound to attempt
  another assassination.  Unless we can get out of here--"
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "Kirk, it's me, Martia.  Listen, no one has ever escaped from Rura
  Penthe."
Kirk: "Except us."
--Martia and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "It is possible.  I know how to get outside the shield."
Kirk: "How do we fit in?"
Martia: "Getting outside the shield is easy.  But after that it's up to you to
  get us off the surface before we freeze.  Can you?"
Kirk: "It's possible."
--Martia and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "I can't make it alone.  And you're the likeliest candidate to come in
  this Hell-hole for months."
Kirk: "Candidate for what?"
--Martia and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "Don't disappoint me."
--Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "What is it with you anyway?"
--McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Think we're finished?"
McCoy: "More than ever."
--Kirk and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Slater: "Sorry to wake you, sir."
Sulu: "What is it?"
Slater: "Starfleet urgently requests any data we have on the whereabouts of
  Enterprise."
Sulu: "What?"
Slater: "Apparently, they're refusing to acknowledge signal to return to
  Spacedock."
Sulu: "Signal Starfleet that...we have no idea location, Enterprise."
Slater: "Sir?"
Sulu: "You having hearing problems, Mister?"
Slater: "No, sir."
--Slater and Sulu, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chekov: "Now we go to Starfleet!"
Spock: "Now we expand our search to include uniforms."
Chekov: "All uniforms?"
--Chekov and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "I think we've been had."
--McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "They don't take girls."
--Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Uhura: "You are Crewman Dax?"
Dax: "Yes, Commander, what is the problem?"
Chekov: "Perhaps you know...Russian epic of Cinderella.  If shoe fits, wear it."
Spock: "Uh, Mister Chekov..."  [Points down]
--Uhura, Dax, Chekov, and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "What kind of creature is this?  Last night, you two were--"
Kirk: "Don't remind me."
--McCoy and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "Come on, we don't have a lot of time!"
--Martia, "STVI"TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Spock: "Mister Scott, start your engines."
Scott: "Aye-aye, sir."
--Spock and Scott, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Spock: "Mister Chekov, set course for Rura Penthe."
Chekov: "Mister Spock, Rura Penthe is deep inside the Klingon frontier.  If
  we're discovered..."
Spock: "Quite correct, Mister Chekov.  What is required now is a feat of
  linguistic legerdomain and a degree of intrepidity, before the captain and
  Doctor McCoy freeze to death."
--Spock and Chekov, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "Leave me!  I'm finished!"
Kirk: "No!  Bones, I'm wearing a viridium patch on my back!  Spock slapped it
  there just before we went on Gorkon's ship!"
McCoy: "Why that cunning little Vulcan!"
--McCoy and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Now that we're outside the shield, they'll be able to locate us from two
 sectors away!"
McCoy: "If they're even looking for us."
--Kirk and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Uhura: "We am thy freighter...Ursva, six weeks out of Kronos.  Over."

Martia: "I'm a Chameloid."
--McCoy and Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "I've heard about you.  Shape-shifters.  I thought you were mythical."
Martia: "Give a girl a chance, Captain.  It takes a lot of effort."
McCoy: "I don't doubt it."
--Kirk, Martia, and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

McCoy: "Stop me if I'm wrong, but do we have any way of knowing whether this is
  the real you?"
Martia: "I thought I would assume a pleasing shape."
--McCoy and Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Martia: "We're outside the shield.  Now it's your turn, Captain."
Kirk: "If you say so."
--Martia and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Ask her what she's getting."
Martia: "A full pardon...which doesn't cover this."
--Kirk and Martia, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "An accident wouldn't have been good enough.  Come on, Spock."
Martia: "Good enough for one.  Two would have looked suspicous.  Killed
  while..."
"Kirk": "...attempting escape.  Now that's convincing for both!"
--Kirk, Martia, and "Kirk", "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

"Kirk": "Surprise!"

"Kirk": "I like it here."
--Kirk and "Kirk", "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

"Kirk": "Kill him, he's the one!"
Kirk: "Not me, you idiot!  HIM!"
--Kirk and "Kirk", "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Commandant: "No witnesses."
Kirk: "Killed while trying to escape."
McCoy: "Damn clever, if you ask me."
Kirk: "It's a classic."
--Klingon Commandant, Kirk, and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Commandant: "That's what he wanted."
Kirk: "Who?  Who wanted us killed?"
Commandant: "Since you're all going to die anyway, why not tell you.  His name
  is--"
--Klingon Commandant and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Dammit!  Dammit!  Dammit all to hell!  Out of all the...  Son of a..."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Couldn't you have waited two seconds?
Spock: "Captain?"
Kirk: "He was about to explain the whole thing!"

--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

--Valeris, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "I tried to tell you but you would not listen."
Spock: "Neither of us was hearing very well that night, Lieutenant.  There were
  things I tried to tell you, about having faith."
--Valeris and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "You have betrayed the Federation...all of you!"
McCoy: "And what do you think you've been doing?"
Valeris: "Saving Starfleet!"
--Valeris and McCoy, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Valeris: "'Klingons cannot be trusted.'  You said so yourself, they killed your
  son.  Did you not wish Gorkon dead?  'Let them die', you said.  Did I
  misinterpret you?  And you were right.  They conspired with us to assassinate 
  their own chancellor.  How trustworthy can they be?"
--Valeris, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Names, Lieutenant."
Valeris: "I do not remember."
--Kirk and Valeris, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Chekov: "Then we're dead."
Spock: "I've been dead before."
--Spock and Chekov, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Sulu: "Standing by, Captain Kirk."
Kirk: "Sulu!  You realize that by even talking to us, you're violating the
  regulations."
Sulu: "I'm sorry, Captain, your message is breaking up."
Kirk: "Bless you, Sulu."
--Sulu and Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Where is the peace conference?  They're going to attempt another
  assassination."
Sulu: "The conference is at Camp Khitomer, near the Romulan border."

--Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Dining on ashes.  You all right?"
Spock: "It was an arrogant presumption on my part that got us into this
  situation.  You and the doctor might have been killed."
Kirk: "The night is young."
--Kirk and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "You're a great one for logic.  I'm a great one for rushing in where
  angels fear to tread.  We're both at extremes.  Reality is probably somewhere
  in between."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "I couldn't get past the death of my son."
Spock: "I was prejudiced by her accomplishments as a Vulcan."
--Kirk and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Gorkon had to die before I understood how prejudiced I was."
--Kirk, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Spock: "Is it possible...that we too, you and I, have grown so old and so
  inflexible, that we have outlived our usefulness?  Would that constitute a
  joke?"
--Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Don't crucify yourself, it wasn't your fault."
Spock: "I was responsible."
Kirk: "For no actions but your own."
Spock: "That is not what you said at your trial."
Kirk: "That was as captain of the ship.  Human beings--"
Spock: "But, Captain, we both know that I am not human."
--Kirk and Spock, "STVI:TUC", Stardate 9523.8

Kirk: "Spock, you want to know something?  Everybody's human."

  close enough to record it, we're ashes."

  vessel.  We call it 'plasma'.  But whatever the Klingon designation is it is
  merely ionized gas."
