• Bem : Sir, this one does not demean oneself by the use of casual violence to accomplish goals.

  Capt. Kirk : Oh?

  Bem : But you may demean yourself, if you wish.

• Capt. Kirk : Commander Bem, you were assigned to this ship as an independent observer, yet you have spent the past six missions in your quarters. You haven't done any observing at all - until now, when we're dealing with possibly a very dangerous planet.

  Bem : Patience. Every planet is dangerous to the ignorant.

• Uhura : We can't get any readings at all now.

  Scott : Aye, that tears it. The Loch Ness monster couldn't get through that.

• Capt. Kirk : Spread out. Find Commander Bem. He's split into three individual parts.

  Scott : Beg pardon, sir?

  Capt. Kirk : He's some kind of colony creature. And take care not to injure any of the natives here. Phasers on lightest possible stun setting - and don't fire, unless absolutely necessary.

• Bem : Sir, this one must... disassemble unity.

  Capt. Kirk : Disassemble?

  Bem : Never to exist again as a cooperation. This unity is defective. This unity must cease to exist.

• Scott : Have you found the captain yet?

  Lt. Arex : I have located emanations that could be Captain Kirk's and another set that could be Mr. Spock's, but the sensory anomaly has interfered with our detection devices so that positive identification remains impossible.

  Uhura : Which means...?

  Scott : I think he said... "maybe."

• Bem : [to Kirk]  Pandro will not have dealings with inefficient and inferior species. You have failed everything you have attempted. You have not rescued this one, and you have not been able to handle local aborigines.
