Cochrane to the Companion: "You saved my life....you took
care of me....you loved me....I never understood. I do now." |
|
|
|
Leonard McCoy:
"Maybe you're a soldier so often, that you've forgotten you're
also trained to be a diplomat. Why not try a carrot instead of
a stick?" |
|
|
|
Lt. Uhura
: "It's a big galaxy, Mr. Scott!" |
|
|
|
Cochrane:
"That's been happening to men and women for a long time. I've
got the feeling it's one of the pleasanter things about being
human, as long as you grow old together." |
|
|
|
Nancy:
"What kind of love is that? Not to be loved; never to have
shown love." |
|
|
|
Cochrane:
"Immortality consists largely of boredom." |
|
|
|
Kirk:
"It is the nature of our species to be free." |
|
|
|
McCoy:
"There's nothing disgusting about it. It's just another life
form, that's all. You get used to those things." |
|
|
|
Kirk:
"Our species can only survive if we have obstacles to
overcome. You remove those obstacles. Without them to
strengthen us, we will weaken and die." |
|

|
The
Companion: "This is loneliness? What a bitter thing ...
it's so sad. How do you bear it, this loneliness?" |
|
|
|
Kirk:
"Not one hundred percent efficient, of course ... but nothing
ever is." |
|
|
|
Spock:
"You are, after all, essentially irrational." |
|
|
|
Kirk:
"The idea of male and female are universal constants." |
|
|
|
Kirk:
"Love sometimes expresses itself in sacrifice." |
|
|
|
Spock:
"Fascinating - a totally parochial attitude." |
|
|
|
Cochrane:
"What's it like out there, in the galaxy?" |
|
|
|
Kirk:
"We're on a thousand planets and spreading out. We cross
fantastic distances, and everything's alive Cochrane. Life
everywhere. We estimate there are millions of planets with
intelligent life. We haven't begun to map them. Interesting?" |
