By Any Other Name Quotes

  • (Scott) "Lad, you're going to need somet'n' to wash that down with. Have you ever tried any Saurian brandy?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "You're jealous. You're trying to kill me with your bare hands. Would a Kelvan do that? Would he have to? You're reacting with the emotions of a human. You are a human."
  • (Rojan) "No, I cannot be."
  • (Rojan) "Have you seen Captain Kirk?"
  • (Mr. Spock) "If you wish, I shall call him to the bridge."
  • (Rojan) "No. I was wondering where he was."
  • (Mr. Spock) "I left him in the recreation room."
  • (Rojan) "He was alone, then."
  • (Mr. Spock) "No, Kelinda was with him. She seemed anxious to speak to him."
  • (Rojan) "I told her to stay away from him."
  • (Mr. Spock) "It would appear, sir, that you have little control over her. Or perhaps Captain Kirk -- has more."
  • (Rojan) "I wish you to understand your duties."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "My duty is to stop you in any way I can."
  • (Rojan) "And you. You would wish to remain with him?"
  • (Kelinda) "He's most interesting. But I wish to go with you. I believe I owe you an apology."
  • (Hanar) "How many more of these?"
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Well, now, let's see. You've had three shots. I think you better stay on them for a few days, and then we'll see how you respond."
  • (Hanar) "I see no reason for you to refer to yourself in the plural."
  • (Mr. Spock) "Immense beings, a hundred -- limbs which resemble tentacles. Minds of such control and capacity, that each limb is capable of performing a different function."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Do you mean that's what the Kelvans really are?"
  • (Mr. Spock) "Undoubtedly."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Well, if they look that way normally, why did they adapt themselves to our bodies?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Perhaps practicality. They chose the Enterprise as the best vessel for the trip. Immense beings with a hundred tentacles would have difficulty with the turbolift."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Your mission is to find new worlds for your people to live in. You can still do that. We can bring this problem to the Federation. There are many planets in this galaxy that can be inhabited."
  • (Rojan) "You would really do that? You would extend welcome to invaders?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "No. But we would welcome friends."
  • (Rojan) "Your people are most efficient, Captain."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Thank you. So are yours."
  • (Tomar) "I do not understand why you take the trouble to consume this -- bulk material to, uh, sustain yourselves."
  • (Tomar) "We have ascertained that these contain all the nutritional elements."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Before you condemn it, why don't you try it?"
  • (Tomar) "I believe I will. Assist me."
  • (Rojan) "We do not colonize. We conquer. We rule. There's no other way for us."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "In other words, "The galaxy isn't big enough for both of us.""
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Turn this ship around. We're going home."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Vulcans have the ability to place themselves in a kind of trance, a complete relaxation of every part of the mind and the body."
  • (Mr. Spock) "We find it more restful to the body than your so-called vacation."
  • (Kelinda) "These are lovely. Captain Kirk, what is it you call them?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Flowers. I don't know the variety."
  • (Kelinda) "Our memory tapes tell us of such things on Kelvan; crystals that form with such rapidity, they seem to grow. They look like this fragile thing, somewhat. We call them sahsheer."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "A rose by any other name."
  • (Kelinda) "Captain?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "A quote from a great human poet, Shakespeare. "That which we call a rose by any other name -- would smell as sweet.""
  • (Tomar) "Very interesting. But I feel rather -- srange."
  • (Scott) "We did it, you and me. Put him right under the table."
  • (Scott) "I'll take this to the Captain."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Is this all?"
  • (Mr. Spock) "I have reviewed ship's personnel, Captain. It appears we four are the only ones the Kelvans consider essential."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Scotty tells me you could've destroyed the ship in the barrier. Why didn't you?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "I couldn't."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "But that was our only chance to stop them --"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "I didn't think it was."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Jim --"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Bones, that's enough."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Jim, I saw them reduce four of my doctors and nurses into those little --."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "They've reduced the whole CREW."
  • (Scott) "I found this in the ganner room -- ganner --"
  • (Tomar) "What is it?"
  • (Scott) "It's,"
  • (Scott) "uh,"
  • (Scott) "-- It's green."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Well?"
  • (Mr. Spock) "Impossible, Captain. The power source is protected by a material we cannot breach even with our phasers. Mr. Scott and I have prepared the means for the only logical alternative available to us."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "What alternative?"
  • (Mr. Spock) "The barrier we must penetrate is composed of negative energy."
  • (Scott) "I have opened the control valves to the matter-anti-matter nacelles. On your signal, I will flood them with positive energy."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "What?"
  • (Mr. Spock) "When we engage the barrier, the ship will explode. The Kelvans will be stopped here."
  • (Scott) "And so will we."
  • (Kelinda) "Rojan has forbidden me to see you."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Yes, that's too bad. Why do you defy him?"
  • (Kelinda) "It is not a question of defiance. We were told to find out everything we could about you."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "M-hm. And how is the research going?"
  • (Kelinda) "I need some more experiments."
  • (Rojan) "You humans must face the end of your existence, as you have known it."
  • (Kelinda) "This cultural mystique surrounding the biological function."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Yes?"
  • (Kelinda) "You realize humans are overly preoccupied with the subject."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Yes, we do think a great deal about it."
  • (Kelinda) "I've done some supplemental reading on it, and, er --"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "You have a question?"
  • (Kelinda) "Yes. I was wondering, would you please apologize to me again?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "We came in answer to your distress call."
  • (Rojan) "It was very kind of you to respond so quickly, Captain. Now, you will surrender your ship to me."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "You have a very strange sense of humor, Mr --"
  • (Rojan) "Within ten millennia, high radiation levels in our galaxy will make life there impossible. So the Kelvan Empire sent forth ships to explore other galaxies, to search for one which our race could conquer and occupy."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Well, sorry, this galaxy is already occupied."
  • (Rojan) "Captain, you think you are unconquerable, and your ship impregnable. But while we've talked, the capture has already begun."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "I'm stimulating him."
  • (Rojan) "Space again, Hanar. I do not think we could have kept our sanity living too long on this accursed planet."
  • (Hanar) "It is an undisciplined environment. One cannot control it. Yet there are things of interest."
  • (Rojan) "Yes, but disturbing. These shells in which we've encased ourselves, they have such heightened senses. To feel -- to hear -- to smell. How do humans manage to exist in these fragile cases?"
  • (Hanar) "Since the ship was designed to sustain these forms, we have little choice."
  • (Rojan) "At least we'll be away from all of this -- openness. No, this is too strange for us, Hanar. We are creatures of outer space. Soon, we will be safe in the comforting closeness of walls."
  • (Kelinda) "Is there some significance to this action?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Well, among humans, it's, uh, meant to express warmth and love."
  • (Kelinda) "Oh. You are trying to seduce me."
  • (Mr. Spock) "Most curious."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "What is?"
  • (Mr. Spock) "The isolated glimpses of things I saw when I touched Kelinda's mind are beginning to coalesce in my consciousness. The Kelvans have superior intellectual capacity. To achieve it, they've apparently sacrificed anything which would tend to distract them; perceptive senses such as taste, touch, smell, and, of course, emotions."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "But then, Tomar shouldn't be enjoying the taste of his food."
  • (Mr. Spock) "Yes, quite correct, Captain. But they have taken human form, and are therefore having human reaction."
  • (Dr. McCoy) "Hm -- If he keeps reacting like that, he's gonna need a diet."
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Yes, well, I don't usually go around beating up beautiful women."
  • (Kelinda) "Why not?"
  • (Kelinda) "Do you really regard this touching of the lips as pleasurable?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "I did."
  • (Kelinda) "Curious. Let me try."
  • (Rojan) "Is there some problem, Captain?"
  • (Captain James T. Kirk) "Not when I came in."
  • (Rojan) "What did he want here?"
  • (Kelinda) "He came to apologize for hitting me. Apparently it involves some peculiar touching contact."
  • (Rojan) "In what manner?"
  • (Rojan) "Very odd creatures, these humans."
