  Dr. McCoy : "He is hers?"

  Tyree : When a man and woman are joined in this manner, he can refuse her no wish.

• Nona : I am a Kahn-ut-tu woman. In all this land, how many are there? Men seek us because through us they become great leaders.

  Tyree : I took you because you cast a spell upon me.

  Tyree : Mmm. The night of madness.

• Nona : Touch me again and this small box will kill you.

• Dr. McCoy : What's that?

  Nona : A mahko root.

  Dr. McCoy : A plant? It moves.

  Nona : For those who know where to find it, how to use it, how to pick it.

• Nona : You are here because I wished you here.

  Capt. Kirk : Oh? I thought it was my idea.
