Quotes 

• Dr. McCoy : Well, Mr. Spock, if you're going into the lion's den, you'll need a medical officer.

  Spock : Daniel, as I recall, had only his faith, but I welcome your company, Doctor.

• Dr. McCoy : Hope? I always thought that was a human failing, Mr. Spock.

  Spock : True, doctor. Constant exposure does result in a certain degree of - contamination.

• Dr. McCoy : You're gonna leave here without them and run off on some wild goose chase halfway across the galaxy, just because you found a discrepancy in a hydrogen cloud?

  Spock : Doctor, I am chasing the captain, Lieutenant Uhura, and Ensign Chekov, not some wild aquatic fowl.

• Spock : They are not within the confines of this solar system.

  Dr. McCoy : It's been nearly an hour. Can people live that long as disassembled atoms in a transporter beam?

  Spock : I have never heard of a study being done, but it would be a fascinating project.

  Dr. McCoy : Fascinating? Those people are friends of ours out there, if they're still alive.

  Spock : Precisely.

  Dr. McCoy : Well, the odds are not good.

  Spock : No, I would say approximately 400...

  Dr. McCoy : Don't quote odds and don't give me any more dispassionate logic, Mr. Spock, just keep looking for them.

  Spock : I would welcome a suggestion, doctor, even an emotional one, as to where to look.

  Dr. McCoy : The first time you've ever asked me for anything and it has to be an occasion like this.

• Spock : Doctor, I do not respond to hunches. No transporter malfunction was responsible for the disappearance. They were not within the Gamma system. A focused beam of extremely high-intensity light was directed into the Gamma system from the trinary system we are now approaching. No known natural phenomena could have caused that beam. Does that clarify the situation?

  Dr. McCoy : No, it doesn't, Mr. Spock. It's still a fancy way of saying that you're playing a hunch.

• Scott : Scott to bridge.

  Spock : Spock here.

  Scott : Mr. Spock, the captain, Lt. Uhura, and Chekov - they vanished. They got onto the transporter platform and they just vanished.

  Spock : I presume you mean they vanished in a manner not consistent with the usual workings of the transporter, Mr. Scott.

  Scott : Why, of course, I mean that. Do you think I'd call you if they just beamed down?

  Spock : Have you reversed controls?

  Scott : I've made all the proper checks: There was nothing, there was no flash of light, nothing. They were gone.

  Spock : Power surge?

  Scott : Not down here. All the dials were right and the transporter was functioning properly.

  Spock : Recheck your equipment, Mr Scott. I'll scan for them on the planet's surface. Spock out.
