Mr. Spock : I assume that's a rhetorical question, Captain, not requiring an answer.
-
Bem : Sir, this one does not demean oneself by the use of casual violence to accomplish goals.
Capt. Kirk : Oh?
Bem : But you may demean yourself, if you wish.
-
Capt. Kirk : Commander Bem, you were assigned to this ship as an independent observer, yet you have spent the past six missions in your quarters. You haven't done any observing at all - until now, when we're dealing with possibly a very dangerous planet.
Bem : Patience. Every planet is dangerous to the ignorant.
-
Mr. Spock : It appears to be a native food-gathering party.
Capt. Kirk : Yes, and the food they have gathered... is Bem!

Capt. Kirk : Our phasers and communicators have been switched for phonies, and Commander Bem has run off. We've been separated from the rest of the landing party... Mr. Spock, something funny is going on.

Entity : Who are you?
Capt. Kirk : I am Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the starship Enterprise. This is my first officer Mr. Spock and honorary commander Ari bn Bem of the planet Pambro.

Mr. Spock : The job of librarian would be no less challenging, Captain, but it would undoubtedly be a lot less dangerous.

Capt. Kirk : Spread out. Find Commander Bem. He's split into three individual parts.
Scott : Beg pardon, sir?
Capt. Kirk : He's some kind of colony creature. And take care not to injure any of the natives here. Phasers on lightest possible stun setting - and don't fire, unless absolutely necessary.
-
Bem : Sir, this one must... disassemble unity.
Capt. Kirk : Disassemble?
Bem : Never to exist again as a cooperation. This unity is defective. This unity must cease to exist.
-
Capt. Kirk : That Pandronian's actions just don't make sense.
Mr. Spock : They might to another Pandronian, Captain.
-
Capt. Kirk : This is an odd time to remain adamant.
-
Capt. Kirk : This is not a laboratory, Commander Bem. This is a hostile planet, and representatives of Starfleet are not experimental animals for you to test! Consider yourself under arrest - protective custody to keep you from any more escapades.
