Quotes 

• Captain James T. Kirk : I admit I'm getting a little grey, but radiation will do that to you.

• Captain James T. Kirk : [to Spock]  You traitorous... disloyal... you stab me in the back the first chance you get. Spock... get out. I never want to have to look at you again.

• Captain James T. Kirk : Maintain standard orbit, Mr. Sulu.

  Sulu : You already gave that order, sir.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Oh? Well... FOLLOW it.

• McCoy : [checking out the Captain's twinge]  Jim, I think we'd better run a complete physical on you.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Why? Just muscular strain, hmm?

  McCoy : No, Jim. It's advanced arthritis. It's spreading.

• Spock : Doctor, we made the necessary computations and produced this serum. It is crude, and dangerous, but we had no time for refinements.

  McCoy : All right! Let's... let's go!

  Spock : It could cure - or kill, Doctor.

  McCoy : Don't give me any Vulcan details, Spock. Just give me the shot!

  Captain James T. Kirk : No... *I'll* take the first shot.

• Captain James T. Kirk : [after his competency hearing has been concluded and he's back in his quarters]  I made a fool of myself in there. I shouldn't have let them confuse me... rattle me.

  Janet Wallace : [trying to be sympathetic]  Everybody understood.

  Captain James T. Kirk : But I am not *old*, Jan. I'm NOT.

  [begins wheezing] 

  Captain James T. Kirk : A few muscular aches doesn't make a man old. And you don't run a starship with your arms, you run it with your head! And my brain's as sharp as it ever was. A simple case of radiation poisoning and they relieve me of my command?

  Captain James T. Kirk : [stops to look at himself in a mirror]  I admit I'm getting a little gray, but radiation will do that to ya'.

• Captain James T. Kirk : Oh, Mr. Sulu, increase orbit to 20,000 mile perigee.

  Sulu : You mean, ANOTHER 20,000, Captain?

  Captain James T. Kirk : I fail to understand why each one of my commands is being questioned. Now do as you're told, Mr. Sulu.

  Spock : Mr. Sulu, what is our present position?

  Sulu : Orbiting at 20,000, sir.
