Quotes
-
Scott : [in astonished disbelief] You're going to WHAT? Are they all right in the head, Doctor?
Dr. McCoy : [boldly] No comment.
Capt. Kirk : A simple transference. Their minds and ours.
Dr. McCoy : [sarcastically] Quite simple. Happens every day.
-
Dr. McCoy : They're giants, and we're insects beside them. They could destroy us without meaning to.
-
Henoch : [in Spock's body] This is an excellent body, Doctor. I seem to have received the best of the three. Strength, hearing, eyesight, all far above your human norms. I'm surprised the Vulcans never conquered your race.
Dr. McCoy : Vulcans worship peace above all, Henoch.
Henoch : [in Spock's body] Yes, of course, of course. Just as we do, Doctor.
-
Dr. McCoy : I will not peddle flesh! I'm a physician.
-
Dr. McCoy : He's dead.
-
Thalassa : Doctor, would you like to save your Captain Kirk?
Dr. McCoy : But you said that was impossible.
Thalassa : We have many powers Sargon did not permit us to use. He thought them too tempting to us. This body pleases me; I intend to keep it.
Dr. McCoy : I see. And Henoch intends to keep Spock's body, of course.
Thalassa : Henoch's plans are his own affair. I wish only to exist in peace as a living woman.
Dr. McCoy : If you're asking my approval...
Thalassa : I require only your silence. Now only you and I will know that Dr. Mulhall has not returned to her body. Isn't that worth your captain's life? Doctor, we can take what we wish: Neither you nor this ship nor all your worlds have the power to stop us.
Dr. McCoy : Neither Jim nor I can trade a body we don't own. It happens to belong to a young woman...
Thalassa : Who you hardly know - almost a stranger to you.
Dr. McCoy : I will not peddle flesh. I'm a physician.
Thalassa : A physician? In contrast to what we are you are a prancing, savage medicine man. You dare defy one you should be on your knees worshiping? I could destroy you with a single thought.
[Painful energy field engulfs the doctor, then stops]
Thalassa : Stop. Sargon was right, the temptations within a living body are too great. Forgive me.
-
Dr. McCoy : [narrating] Medical log, Stardate 4770.3. Do I list one death or two? When Kirk's body died, Sargon was too far distant from his receptacle to transfer back. Sargon is dead. But is Captain Kirk dead? His body is, but his consciousness is still in the receptacle into which it was transferred earlier.
-
Capt. Kirk : When Sargon and I exchanged, as we passed each other, for an instant, we were one. I know him now. I know what he is and what he wants, and I don't fear him.
Dr. McCoy : That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. An alien practically hijacks your body and then corks you into a bottle, and you...
Ann Mulhall : [interrupting] I'm afraid that I must agree with Dr. McCoy. You could be suffering from a form of... of false euphoria.
