Quotes 

• Dr. Janice Lester : I hoped I wouldn't see you again.

  Captain James T. Kirk : I don't blame you.

  Dr. Janice Lester : The year we were together at Starfleet is the only time in my life I was alive.

  Captain James T. Kirk : I never stopped you from going on with your space work.

  Dr. Janice Lester : Your world of starship captains doesn't admit women. It isn't fair.

  Captain James T. Kirk : No, it isn't, and you punished and tortured me because of it.

  Dr. Janice Lester : I loved you. We could have roamed among the stars.

  Captain James T. Kirk : We'd have killed each other.

  Dr. Janice Lester : It might have been better.

• Dr. Coleman : She is suffering from the delusion of being Captain Kirk.

  James T. Kirk : [in Janice Lester's body]  I am NOT Janice Lester!

  Dr. Coleman : The paranoia has been developing for the past six months. The radiation seems to have intensified it. She must be kept sedated.

  Nurse Christine Chapel : Shall I prepare a mild sedative, Doctor?

  Dr. Coleman : Of course.

• James T. Kirk : [to Spock while in Janice Lester's body]  You are closer to the captain than anyone in the universe. You know his thoughts. What does your telepathic mind tell you now?

• Dr. Janice Lester : [in Kirk's body]  Violence, by the lady, perpetrated on Capt. Kirk? Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk. I ask the assembled personnel to look at Dr. Janice Lester and visualize that historic moment.

  [with obvious amusement, but nobody else joins in on it] 

  Dr. Janice Lester : Can you... can you tell me why, uh, Dr. Janice Lester would agree to this ludicrous exchange?

  James T. Kirk : [in Janice Lester's body]  Yes. To get the power she craved, to attain a position she doesn't merit by temperament or training, and, most of all, she wanted to murder James Kirk - a man who once loved her - but her intense hatred of her own womanhood made life with her impossible.

  Dr. Janice Lester : [moving in to apparently strike her/him in rage, but...]  Are you prepared with witnesses? One will do.

• Dr. Janice Lester : [in Kirk's body, at Spock's court martial]  However, a-a-a-as I understand it, I... am Dr. Janice Lester.

  [laughs derisively] 

  James T. Kirk : [in Janice Lester's body]  That's very clever, but I didn't say it. I said the BODY of James Kirk is being used by Janice Lester.

  Dr. Janice Lester : Mm-hm. Mm, a subtlety that somehow escapes me.
