Riley : [over the intercom] Lt. Uhura, you've interrupted my song, uh... I'm sorry but there'll be no ice cream for YOU tonight.
Capt. Kirk : Cut him off.
Uhura : I can't, sir. There's no way to do it.
Riley : Attention, crew, this is Capt. Riley. There will be a formal dance in the bowling alley at nineteen hundred hours tonight.

[the Enterprise is spiraling out of control toward a disintegrating planet, crewmen are going loopy as flies, and Riley, barricaded in the engine room, has been singing off-key over the ship's intercom for the last several hours. Rand enters the bridge hurriedly as Kirk drags an hysterically giggling Leslie away from the helm station]
Yeoman Rand : I would have gotten here sooner, sir, but Crewman Williams stopped me in the hall and...
Capt. Kirk : Take the helm!
Yeoman Rand : Sir?
Capt. Kirk : [shoving her into the chair] TAKE THE HELM!
Yeoman Rand : Yes, sir.
[Kirk pulls a semi-comatose crewman away from the engineering section as Riley's song comes to an end]
Riley : [over the intercom] And now... ONE MORE TIME.
Capt. Kirk : [stalking over to a frantically-working Uhura] At least TRY cutting him off!
Uhura : [shouting] Sir, if I could cut him off, don't you think I...?
[She suddenly remembers to whom she's speaking and visibly gets her temper under control]
Uhura : Yes, sir. I'll keep trying.
Capt. Kirk : [ruefully] Sorry.
[Uhura smiles back at him and gets back to work]

Uhura : [over the intercom] Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir.
Scotty : Captain!
Capt. Kirk : What is it?
Scotty : He's turned the engines off. They're completely cold. It'll take 30 minutes to regenerate them.
Uhura : [over the intercom] Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir. Ship's outer skin is beginning to heat, Captain. Orbit plot shows we have about 8 minutes left.
Capt. Kirk : Scotty!
Scotty : I can't change the law of physics! I've got to have 30 minutes!

Riley : Have no fear, O'Riley's here, and one Irishman is worth ten THOUSAND of you...
Spock : You're relieved, Mister Riley! Lieutenant Uhura, take over this station
Uhura : Yes sir!
Riley : Now THAT'S what I like. Let the WOMEN work too! Universal SUFFRAGE...
Spock : Report to sickbay, Mister Riley!
Riley : Sick bay? Exactly where I was headed. Sir!

Capt. Kirk : We've got to risk implosion. It's our only chance!
Spock : It's never been done.
Capt. Kirk : Don't tell me that again, Science Officer! It's a theory! It's possible! We may go up into the biggest ball of fire since the last sun in these parts exploded, but we gotta take that one in 10,000 chance!
Uhura : [over the intercom] Bridge to Captain: Engineer asks "Did you find..."
Capt. Kirk : Yes, I found Mr. Spock! I'm talking to Mr. Spock, d'you understand!
Uhura : [over the intercom] Yes, sir. Three and a half minutes left, captain.
