Jon Lormer: Old Man

Quotes 

• Dr. McCoy : [as an old man enters the room]  Gentlemen, I believe we have a visitor.

  Old Man : [bows, then passes out bits of herbs]  For strength. Many of us have felt the power of our Oracle. This has been of benefit.

  Dr. McCoy : Tastes like an ancient herb derivative.

  Old Man : You are... not of Yonada.

  Captain James T. Kirk : No, we're from outside your world.

  Old Man : Where... is outside?

  Captain James T. Kirk : Up there. Outside, up there, everywhere.

  Old Man : So they say, also.

  Old Man : [winces in pain]  Many years ago, I climbed the mountains, even though it is forbidden.

  [winces again] 

  Captain James T. Kirk : Why is it forbidden?

  Old Man : I am not sure.

  Old Man : [another wince]  But things are not as they teach us. For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky!
