Quotes 

• Mr. Spock : Interesting. You Earth people glorify organized violence for 40 centuries, but you imprison those who employ it privately.

  Dr. McCoy : And, of course, your people found an answer?

  Mr. Spock : We disposed of emotion, Doctor. Where there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.

• Helen Noel : Dr. Helen Noel, Captain. We've met...

  Helen Noel : [Kirk and Spock glance at each other. Without replying, Kirk joins her on the transporter pad]  Don't you remember? The science lab Christmas party.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Yes, I remember.

  Helen Noel : You dropped in...

  Captain James T. Kirk : [cuttin her off]  Yes, yes, I remember.

  Mr. Spock : Problem Captain?

  Captain James T. Kirk : [Kirk steps off the transporter pad to talk to Spock]  Mr. Spock, you tell McCoy that she had better check out as the best assistant I ever had.

• Mr. Spock : What did he do to us?

  Dr. Simon van Gelder : He can reshape any mind he chooses. He used it to erase our memories, put his own thoughts there. He was surprised it took so much power. We fought him, remember? But we grew so tired. Our minds so blank, so open, that any thought he placed there became our thoughts. Our minds so empty, like a sponge needing thoughts, begging, empty. Loneliness. So lonely to be sitting there empty, wanting any word from him.

• Mr. Spock : Enterprise log, first officer Spock acting captain. I must now use an ancient Vulcan technique to probe into van Gelder's tortured mind.

• Mr. Spock : [performing a mind meld]  You begin to feel a strange euphoria... your body floats...

  Dr. Simon van Gelder : Yes... I began to feel it.

  Mr. Spock : Open your mind; we move together... our minds sharing the same thoughts...

• [last lines] 

  Captain James T. Kirk : Take us out of orbit, Mr. Spock. Warp factor one.

  Mr. Spock : Acknowledged, Captain. Warp factor one.

• Mr. Spock : What is our name? Who are we?
