Quotes 

• Mr. Spock : No, sir, I shall not withdraw a single charge that I have made. You are NOT Captain Kirk. You have ruthlessly appropriated his body, but the life entity within you is not that of Captain Kirk. You do NOT belong in charge of the Enterprise, and I shall do everything in my power against you.

• [last lines of the series] 

  Captain James T. Kirk : I didn't want to destroy her.

  Mr. Spock : I'm sure we all understand that, Captain.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Her life could have been as rich as any woman's, if only... if only...

• Mr. Spock : Sir, there is only one issue here: is the story of life-entity transfer believable? This crew has been to many places in the galaxy. They've been witness to many strange events. They are trained to know that what seems to be impossible often IS possible given the scientific analysis of the phenomenon.

• Dr. Janice Lester : It is mutiny! Deliberate, vindictive, insane at its base! But mutiny is charged... and encouragement to mutiny. Dr. McCoy, Mr. Scott, you heard it! On the basis of these statements, I call for an immediate vote... by the powers granted me as captain of the Enterprise. A recess is declared to be followed by a vote!

  Mr. Spock : Yes, sir. An immediate vote before our chief witness can be left to die on some obscure planet with the truth locked away inside of her.

  Dr. Janice Lester : Silence! You will be SILENT!

• Mr. Spock : Sir, if the diagnosis of Dr. Lester's illness is the critical problem, then the Benecia Colony is definitely not the place for her. Their medical facilities are the most primitive.

  Dr. Janice Lester : [in Kirk's body]  They will have to serve.

  Mr. Spock : Starbase Two is fully equipped and staffed with the necessary specialists to determine exactly what is wrong with the doctor. Is that not crucial to your decision?

  Dr. Janice Lester : Thank you. Mr. Spock, but the facilities will be of little use if Dr. Lester's dead. Time is of the essence. Continue present course.

• Mr. Spock : Knowledge of the captain's aberrant behavior is spreading through the ship. The crew is becoming increasingly tense.

• Mr. Spock : I have a few questions to ask her.

  Lt. Galloway : Did the captain order it, sir?

  Mr. Spock : Why should he? They are my questions, therefore I am ordering it, Lieutenant.

• Mr. Spock : I believe you; however, belief is not factual evidence.

• Dr. Janice Lester : [in Kirk's body]  Mr. Spock, were you aware of Dr. McCoy's findings?

  Mr. Spock : I know them now.

  Dr. Janice Lester : And what have you to say, now?

  Mr. Spock : I am disappointed and deeply concerned that there is no objective evidence to support my position. So far.

• Dr. Janice Lester : [in Kirk's body]  Mr. Spock, if you'd concentrate on the areas for which you are responsible, Starfleet Command wouldn've been informed already.

  Mr. Spock : Since the captain usually deals directly with Starfleet in these matters, I assumed that my suggestions might be deemed interference.

• Mr. Spock : I expect only to reveal the truth.

  Dr. Janice Lester : [in Kirk's body, vehemently]  And with the truth revealed that I am not really the captain, and knowing that she would not be allowed to serve as the captain, then YOU would be the captain. It is inevitable!
