Quotes 

• Capt. Kirk : You'll be trapped inside that corridor with him forever. At each other's throats throughout time.

  Lazarus : Is it such a large price to pay for the safety of two universes?

• Capt. Kirk : So you're the terrible thing? The murdering monster? The creature?

  Lazarus : Yes, Captain. Or he is. It depends on your point of view, doesn't it?

• Spock : What of Lazarus?

  Capt. Kirk : And what of Lazarus?

• Dr. McCoy : He's in a lot of pain!

  Capt. Kirk : Sometimes pain can drive a man harder than pleasure. I'm sure you know that, Doctor!

• Capt. Kirk : Fact: You said you needed the crystals. Fact: An hour after you said you "must have them", they were missing! Fact: Two of my crewman were attacked.

• Lazarus : Is something wrong?

  Capt. Kirk : No. I have a ship's physician with a strange sense of humor.

• Dr. McCoy : Well, as you know, we both brought Lazarus in here and I treated a deep abrasion on his forehead, right?

  Capt. Kirk : Right.

  Dr. McCoy : And then I bandaged it, I stepped into this room for just a moment...

  Capt. Kirk : Bones, I have a lot of things to do. Get to the point.

  Dr. McCoy : Well, say he's got the constitution of a dinosaur, recuperative powers, ditto.

  Capt. Kirk : Mm-hm.

  Dr. McCoy : And, as we both know, I'm a bright young medic with a miraculous touch.

  Capt. Kirk : Mm-hm.

  Dr. McCoy : Well, why, then, when I returned, there wasn't a trace of that wound on his forehead? Not even a bruise. It was like he had never been injured.

• Charlene Masters : Report on the Dilithium crystals, Captain.

  Capt. Kirk : Yes?

  Charlene Masters : Whatever that phenomenon was, it drained almost all of our crystals completely. It could mean trouble.

  Capt. Kirk : You have a talent for understatement, Lieutenant. Without full crystal power, our orbit will begin to decay in ten hours. Re-amplify immediately.

  Charlene Masters : Aye aye, sir.

• Capt. Kirk : About four more orbits ought to do it, Mr. Leslie. That'll wrap it up. Lay in a course for Starbase 200.

  Lesley : Aye aye, sir.
