Quotes 

• Mr. Spock : I picked this up from Dr. McCoy's log. We have a crew member aboard who's showing signs of stress and fatigue, reaction time down 9-12%, associational rating norm minus 3.

  Captain James T. Kirk : That's much too low a rating.

  Mr. Spock : He's becoming irritable and quarrelsome, yet he refuses to take rest and rehabilitation.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Mm-hm.

  Mr. Spock : Now, he has that right, but we've found...

  Captain James T. Kirk : A crewman's right ends where the safety of the ship begins. Now, that man will go ashore on my orders. What's his name?

  Mr. Spock : James Kirk. Enjoy yourself, Captain.

• Captain James T. Kirk : You follow the rabbit. I'll backtrack the girl. I'll meet you around the other side of the hill.

  Dr. McCoy : Good. I got a personal grudge against that rabbit, Jim.

• Mr. Spock : [through intercom]  Any chance these could be hallucinations?

  Captain James T. Kirk : [speaking into communicator]  One hallucination flattened me with a clout on the jaw.

• Mr. Spock : [seeing Captain Kirk knock Finnegan unconscious]  Did you enjoy it, Captain?

  Captain James T. Kirk : Yes, I enjoyed it... after all these years. I DID enjoy it! The one thing I wanted to do, after all these years, was beat the tar out of Finnegan.

  Mr. Spock : Which supports a theory I've been formulating.

• Dr. McCoy : [communicating up to the ship]  Captain, are you beaming down?

  Captain James T. Kirk : I hadn't planned to, Bones. Why?

  Dr. McCoy : Well, either our scouting probes and detectors are malfunctioning, and all us scouts careless and beauty-intoxicated, or I must report myself unfit for duty.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Explain.

  Dr. McCoy : On this supposedly uninhabited planet I just saw a large rabbit pull a gold watch from his vest and claim that he was late.

  Captain James T. Kirk : That's pretty good, Bones. All right, I got one for you: The rabbit was followed by a little blonde girl, right?

  Dr. McCoy : As a matter of fact, yes, and they disappeared through a hole in a hedge.

  Captain James T. Kirk : All right, Doctor, I'll take your report under consideration.

• Captain James T. Kirk : Bones, know any good rabbit jokes lately?

• Captain James T. Kirk : What's been happening to my people?

  Finnegan : Heh-heh-heh. I never answer questions from plebes, Jimmy Boy.

  Captain James T. Kirk : I'm not a plebe!

• Captain James T. Kirk : Face front, everyone. Don't talk. Don't breathe. Don't think. You're at attention. Concentrate on that.
