Captain Kirk: Not the Earth. . .another Earth.
Another Earth! |

Captain Kirk: You said something about the...Grups
doing bad things--yelling, hurting, burning.
Miri: That was when they started to get sick in the
before time. We hid, then they were gone. |

Miri: Do you have a name, too?
Captain Kirk: Yes. It's Jim.
Miri: I like that name.
Captain Kirk: Good. I like yours, too. I like you.
Miri: Do you, really?
Captain Kirk: I wouldn't lie to you.
Miri: I wouldn't lie to you, either, Jim. I remember
the Grups, but you're nice. You're different.
Captain Kirk: Why, thank you.
Miri: (noticing the blemish on his hand) It's already
starting. I knew it would. Just like it did with the Grups.
It'll spread all over you, and you'll yell. You'll try to
hurt everybody. Then you'll die. I knew it would! I knew it
would! |

Mr. Spock: There you have a museum piece, Doctor.
Lens type-- manually operated, light-activated.
Dr. McCoy: Spare me the analysis, Mr. Spock, please.
Isn't it enough that it works? |

Mr. Spock: Doctor? There are certain glandular
changes which take place upon entering puberty, are there
not?
Dr. McCoy: Of course. It changes the entire body
system. You know that. Of course you know that. Why?
Mr. Spock: Is it not possible that these children
here, as they enter puberty, contract the disease?
Captain Kirk: That would explain why there are no
adults.
Dr. McCoy: Glandular, post-pubescent. It could be.
Mr. Spock: It's illogical. It does not follow. All
the adults on this planet died 300 years ago, but there are
children in the streets.
Captain Kirk: Who die when they enter adolescence.
Dr. McCoy: But. . .how do they keep the line going?
Yeoman Rand: One thing, Captain. If she were a wild
animal ever since she's been a little girl, how do you
explain that she wants to stay with us?
Captain Kirk: Loneliness? Curiosity? I think children
have an instinctive need for adults. They want to be told
right and wrong.
Mr. Spock: There may be other emotions at work in
this case, Captain.
Dr. McCoy: She likes you, Jim.
Mr. Spock: She's becoming a woman. |

Captain Kirk: Captain's Log, stardate 2717.3. Three
days, seven hours left to us.
Investigation proves that the supply of food in the area is
running dangerously low.
Unless something is done, the children will starve in a few
months. The disease is working on each of us according to
Dr. McCoy's prediction. Our tempers are growing short. And
we're no further along than we were two days ago. Haven't
you found a thing yet?!
Dr. McCoy: Would you like to take a crack at it?! |

Captain Kirk: I've got to find Janice.
Mr. Spock: That's not all, Captain. We've got to find
those communicators.
Captain Kirk: We're trying, Mr. Spock! We're trying
very hard!
Dr. McCoy: That's not good enough! This could be it,
but we can't test it without the ship's computers!
Mr. Spock: We've got to have those communicators,
Jim.
Captain Kirk: This is the vaccine?
Dr. McCoy: That's what the computers will tell us.
Mr. Spock: Without them, it could be a beaker full of
death. |

Captain Kirk: Miri. . .I'm going to tell you
something. You, your friends, all the onlies are going to
get the disease unless we succeed in what we're doing.
You've seen your friends get it.
Miri: Sometimes it happens.
Captain Kirk: Not sometimes. All the times, Miri! As
soon as you start growing up the way you are-- Don't you
know why you don't like to play games anymore, why you don't
see your friends the way you used to? It's because you're
becoming a young woman. . .and the moment you become a young
woman, you get the disease-- all of you.
Miri: That's not true. It just happens sometimes.
Captain Kirk: All the time, Miri! It's happening to
you right now! (shows her a blemish on her arm) Look at it!
Look at it, Miri! It's in you! LOOK!
Miri: No!! No!! No! (hugs Captain Kirk) |

Captain Kirk: Look at my arms! (tears sleeves off
revealing severe blemishes on both arms) That's what's going
to happen to you. . .unless you let me help you.
Onlies: Bonk, bonk! Bonk, bonk!
Captain Kirk: And the little ones. . . (picks up a
small child) . . .what's going to happen to them after
you've gone, after you've turned into creatures like Louise?
They'll still be here, but not for long, because the food's
all gone. You've eaten it. Maybe six months left, that's
all, and then nothing left to eat, nobody left to take care
of them. They'll die, too.
Miri: Look at my arm, Jahn. It's happening to me.
He's telling the truth.
Jahn: They're grups!
Onlies: Bonk, bonk! Bonk, bonk! Bonk, bonk! Bonk,
bonk!
Captain Kirk: All right, you want a foolie? All
right. I dare you. (throws Bonk-Bonk Kid off the desk and
holds onto his arm) I double-dare you. Look at the blood on
my face. Now, look at your hands. Blood on your hands! Now
who's doing the hurting? Not the grups. It's you hurting,
yelling, maybe killing, just like the grups you remember and
creatures you're afraid of. You're acting like them, and
you're going to be just like them unless you let me help
you. I'm a grup. . .and I want to help you. I'm begging you.
Let me help you, or there won't be anything left at all.
Please! |

Yeoman Rand: Miri. . .she really loved you, you know.
Captain Kirk: Yes. I never get involved with older
women, Yeoman. |
