  Captain James T. Kirk : A planet even Spock can't explain.

• Losira : I must touch you. I beg it. It is my existence.

  Captain James T. Kirk : We've seen the results of your touch.

  Losira : But you are my match, James Kirk. I MUST touch you.

• Captain James T. Kirk : [about Losira]  She must have been... a remarkable woman.

  Dr. McCoy : And beautiful.

  Mr. Spock : Beauty is transitory, Doctor; however, she was evidently highly intelligent.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Kirk to Enterprise, five to beam up. I don't agree with you, Mr. Spock.

  Mr. Spock : Indeed, Captain.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Beauty... survives.

• Sulu : [taking readings after an earthquake]  It's gone!

  [hands Kirk his tricorder] 

  Sulu : The Enterprise - it's gone!

  D'Amato : He's right! There's nothing there!

  Dr. McCoy : How could it just be gone? What the devil does that mean, Jim?

  Captain James T. Kirk : For one thing... it means we're stranded.

• Sulu : Once in Siberia there was a meteor so great that it flattened whole forests and was felt as far...

  Captain James T. Kirk : [interrupting]  Mr. Sulu, if I'd wanted a Russian history lesson I'd have brought along Mr. Chekov.

• [In trying to dig D'Amato's grave with his phaser, Kirk can't get far]

  Captain James T. Kirk : My phaser didn't cut through it.

  Dr. McCoy : Whatever it is, it has a mighty high melting point.

  Captain James T. Kirk : 8,000 degrees Centigrade. It looks like igneous rock but infinitely denser.
