Quotes 

• Natira : May I give you the love you want, and make the time you have beautiful.

  Dr. McCoy : We're now of one mind.

  Natira : One heart.

  Dr. McCoy : One life.

• Dr. McCoy : There's something I need to tell you.

  Natira : There is nothing you need to say.

  Dr. McCoy : But there is.

  Natira : Then tell me, if the telling is such a need.

  Dr. McCoy : I have an illness for which there is no cure. I have one year to live.

  Natira : Until I saw you, there was nothing in my heart. It sustained my life, but nothing more. Now, it sings. I could be happy to have that feeling for a day, a week, a month... a year. Whatever the Creators hold in store for us.

  [they kiss] 

• Natira : I cannot go with you. It is not fear. I understand the great purpose of the Creators. I shall honor it.

  Dr. McCoy : You intend to stay here, on Yonada.

  Natira : I shall stay willingly; and because that is what I must do.

  Dr. McCoy : Then I won't leave you.

  Natira : Will McCoy stay here to die? No. McCoy will not let go of life and fullness of years.

• Natira : This... is my universe. You came here with a great mission, to save my people. Shall *I* abandon them? Perhaps one day, if it is permitted, you will find Yonada again.

• Natira : [stiff and formal]  For what reason do you visit this world?

  Captain James T. Kirk : We come in friendship.

  The Oracle of the People : [loud thunderclap]  Then learn what it means to be our enemy, before you learn what it means to be our friend.

  [the landing party is immediately electrocuted into unconsciousness] 

• The Oracle of the People : You have listened to the words of the non-believers.

  Natira : Yes, I have listened.

  The Oracle of the People : That was the first transgression. You felt the pain of warning?

  Natira : Yes, I did.

  The Oracle of the People : Why did you listen further?

  Natira : They said they spoke the truth.

  The Oracle of the People : THEIR truth.

  Natira : Is truth not truth for all?

  The Oracle of the People : The truth of Yonada is YOUR truth. There can be no other for you.

• [Spock has removed the obedience device from McCoy] 

  Natira : [about McCoy]  He is not part of our people. You've released him from his vow of obedience.

  Captain James T. Kirk : We have freed him, from the cruelty of your Oracle.

• Natira : Fools. You think we are children? You think you can do as you please, commit whatever offense amuses you?
