Quotes 

• Plasus : Gentlemen, one of our planet's most incomparable works of art: my daughter Droxine. Captain James Kirk.

  Captain James T. Kirk : A pleasure, Madam.

  Droxine : Indeed yes, Captain.

  Plasus : And First Officer Spock.

  [Spock bows his head very slowly] 

  Droxine : I have never before met a Vulcan, sir.

  Mr. Spock : Nor I a work of art, Madam.

• Plasus : [to Droxine]  Leave here at once. Go to your music.

  Droxine : Father, are we so sure of our methods that we never question what we do?

• Plasus : Something's upsetting you, Droxine.

  Droxine : No, Father.

  Plasus : What is it? Tell me.

  Droxine : No, really, I'm not upset. I was just standing here looking into space and wondering whether or not he would return.

  Plasus : He will never return. I have seen to that.

  Droxine : But the zenite is so important to him. He must have it.

  Plasus : It will be delivered. If we have to kill every Troglyte below, it will be delivered.

  Droxine : By that time, it may be too late. Perhaps he does have a method?

  Plasus : He knows nothing, except how to destroy our power and our society. I forbid you ever to speak of Captain Kirk, even to think of him.

  Droxine : I wasn't thinking of Captain Kirk. It's the one with those exquisitely-shaped ears. His name is Spock. He's the one I was thinking about. Did you know that he has the most incredibly sensitive hearing? Why, I almost believe that if I stood here and called out to him, he would hear my invitation to come and visit with us for a little while longer.

  Plasus : Oh, he's no better than his friend.

• Plasus : Secure him to the rostrum!
