	McCoy: "Do you know why you're not afraid to die, Spock? You're more  afraid of living. Each day you stay alive is just one more day you  might slip, and let your human half peek out. That's it, isn't it?  Insecurity. Why, you wouldn't know what to do with a genuine,  warm, decent feeling."
	Flavius: "Where do you come from? What do you call those?"  Spock: "I call them 'ears'." Flavius: "You trying to be funny?"  Spock: "Never."
	Claudius: "The games have always strengthened us. Death becomes a  familiar pattern. We don't fear it as you do."
	Kirk: "Our people don't believe in slavery."
	Claudius: "We believe men should fight their own battles. Only the  weak will die."
	Septimus: "Our way is peace."
	Kirk: "It is one of our most important laws that none of us may  interfere with the affairs of others."
	McCoy: "If you're speaking of worships of sorts, we represent many  beliefs."
	Marcus: "Would you leave us, Merik? The thoughts of one man to  another cannot possibly interest you."
	Marcus: "You're a Roman, Kirk, or you should have been."
	McCoy: "If a man had a child who'd gone anti-social, killed perhaps, he'd still tend to protect that child."
	McCoy: "Spock, uh...I know we've had our disagreements. Maybe  they're jokes. I don't know. As Jim says, we're not often sure  ourselves sometimes, but what I'm trying to say is --" Spock: "Doctor, I am seeking a means of escape. Will you please be  brief?" McCoy: "Well, what I'm trying to say is you saved my life in the  arena." Spock: "Yes, that's quite true." McCoy: "I'm trying to thank you, you pointed-eared hobgoblin!" Spock: "Oh, yes. You humans have that emotional need to express  gratitude. 'You're welcome', I believe, is the correct response.  However, Doctor, you must remember I am entirely motivated by  logic. The loss of our ship's surgeon, whatever I think of his  skill, would mean a reduction in the efficiency of the  Enterprise..."
	McCoy: "Angry, Mr. Spock, or frustrated, perhaps?" Spock: "Such emotions are foreign to me, Doctor. I'm merely testing the strength of the door." McCoy: "For the 15th time."
