• Captain James T. Kirk : There's no doubt about it, the Companion is female.

  Zefram Cochrane : I don't understand.

  Dr. McCoy : You don't? A blind man could see it with a cane. You're not a pet. You're not a specimen kept in a cage. You're a lover.

• Dr. McCoy : I'm not a scientist or a physicist, Mr. Spock, but am I correct in assuming that anything that generates electricity can be shorted out?

  Mr. Spock : Quite correct, Doctor.

• Captain James T. Kirk : How do you fight a thing like that?

  Dr. McCoy : Maybe you're a soldier so often that you forget you're also trained to be a diplomat. Why not try a carrot instead of a stick?

• Dr. McCoy : [final lines]  Jim, what about that war on Epsilon Canaris III?

  Captain James T. Kirk : Well, I'm sure the Federation can find another woman *somewhere* who'll stop that war...
