Quotes 

• [the Enterprise, threatened by Klingons, also has a large amount of fat tribbles to contend with] 

  Commander Spock : [of the Klingons]  We could always throw tribbles at them.

  Captain James T. Kirk : I thought Vulcans didn't have a sense of humor.

  Commander Spock : We don't, Captain.

• [Kirk has been tufting tribbles of ever-increasing size out of his command chair all day] 

  Mr. Spock : Aren't you going to sit down, sir?

  Captain James T. Kirk : [now with a giant tribble of significant weight in his chair]  I think... I'll stand.

• Commander Spock : A 'safe tribble' would be a contradiction in terms.

• Captain James T. Kirk : The new weapon. Spock?

  Mr. Spock : Some kind of field effect, Captain. It will hit us in precisely four seconds. It produces a most remarkable...

  [the field effect hits the Enterprise] 

  Mr. Spock : ... disruption.

• Captain James T. Kirk : I am concerned about that new Klingon weapon.

  Mr. Spock : It is an energy-sapping field of great strength, Captain. It immobilizes a starship and it's weapons capability; but, apparently, it also immobilizes the attacking ship's abilities at the same time.

  Scotty : Aye, and if that's true, then it's a weapon that leaves them as helpless as it does us.

  Mr. Spock : I believe I just said that, Mr. Scott.

• Mr. Spock : Tribbles are well known for their proclivities in multiplication.

  Cyrano Jones : And they breed fast, too.

• Captain James T. Kirk : Well, at least we can report the stasis field is not as effective a weapon as we thought. The power drain is too high and takes too long for the Klingon ship to recover to make it practical.

  Mr. Spock : Agreed, Captain. Tribbles appear to be a much more effective weapon.
