Quotes 

  • Voice of Redjac : I am without ending. I have existed from the dawn of time, and I shall I live beyond its end! In the meantime, I shall feed, and this time I do not need a knife. You will all die horribly in searing pain!

    Mr. Spock : It is attempting to generate terror, Captain.

    Voice of Redjac : I can cut off your oxygen and suffocate you!

    Sulu : Captain.

    [McCoy injects Sulu with a hydrospray, Sulu immediately becomes euphoric] 

    Sulu : Whoever he is, he sure talks gloomy.

    [starts to rise from chair] 

    Captain James T. Kirk : [pushing Sulu back into his chair]  Man your post, Sulu.

  • Mr. Spock : An entity which feeds on fear and terror would find a perfect hunting ground on Argelius, a planet without violence, where the inhabitants are as peaceful as sheep. The entity would be as a hungry wolf in that fold.

  • Captain James T. Kirk : Sybo spoke of a hunger that never dies. Something that thrives on fear, terror, death. Mr. Spock, maybe we're going about it in the wrong way. Let's assume that Sybo was a sensitive. That she DID sense something, something evil.

    Mr. Spock : Sensitivity of certain Argelian women is a documented fact, Captain.

    Jaris : My poor Sybo's talent was genuine, gentlemen. What she told you was true.

    Captain James T. Kirk : All right, then, what was it she said, exactly? A monstrous evil, ancient terror.

    Dr. McCoy : That devours all life and light.

    Captain James T. Kirk : She said something else, words that didn't make any sense.

    Dr. McCoy : Yes. Redjac, Beratis and, er, Kesla.

    Captain James T. Kirk : Obscure, meaningless words.

    Mr. Spock : To us, perhaps, but to the computer?

    Captain James T. Kirk : Ah. Mr. Spock, check them out.

  • Captain James T. Kirk : All right, Mister Spock, what do we have? A creature without form, that feeds on horror and fear, that must assume a physical shape to kill.

    Mr. Spock : And I suspect preys on women because women are more easily and more deeply terrified, generating more sheer horror than the male of the species.

  • Mr. Spock : Computer, this is a Class A compulsory directive. Compute to the last digit the value of pi.

    Voice of Redjac : [Off camera]  No, no, no, no! No, no!

    Mr. Spock : As we know, the value of pi is a transcendental figure without resolution. The computer banks will work on this problem to the exclusion of all else until we order it to stop.

    Captain James T. Kirk : Yes, that should keep that thing busy for a while.

  • Scott : What did you do with that thing, Captain? Did you send it back to the planet?

    Captain James T. Kirk : No. We beamed it out into open space, Scotty. Widest possible dispersion.

    Dr. McCoy : That thing can't die.

    Mr. Spock : Possibly, Doctor. Its consciousness may continue for some time, consisting of billions of separate bits of energy, floating forever in space, powerless.

    Captain James T. Kirk : But it will die finally.

    Captain James T. Kirk : [addressing Mr. Scott]  You seem very happy about the whole thing.

    Scott : Why not? For a while there I didn't know whether I was innocent or guilty.

  • Dr. McCoy : But Sybo said that it feeds on death.

    Mr. Spock : In the strict scientific sense, Doctor, we all feed on death, even vegetarians.
