Quotes 

• Capt. Kirk : Mr. Spock, ask Scotty how long it would take him to reproduce 100 flintlocks.

  Scott : I didn't get that exactly, Captain. 100 what?

  Capt. Kirk : 100... serpents. Serpents for the Garden of Eden.

• Mr. Spock : [wheezing]  Nurse.

  Nurse Chapel : Yes?

  Mr. Spock : Hit me. The pain will help me to regain consciousness. Hit me.

  Nurse Chapel : Hit you? No! I can't...

  Mr. Spock : I ask you, strike me. If I don't regain consciousness soon, it may be too late. Hit me!

  [unsure, she slaps him] 

  Mr. Spock : Harder!

  [she begins slapping him harder] 

  Mr. Spock : Again! Continue, the pain will help me to consciousness.

  Scott : [Scott enters Sickbay and sees Nurse Chapel slapping the unconscious Mr. Spock]  What are you doing, woman?

  Nurse Chapel : [pulled away by Scott]  Leave me alone!

  Scott : Have you gone daft?

  Nurse Chapel : Mr. Spock needs me! Let go!

  [Dr. M'Benga runs past and starts slapping Spock] 

  Mr. Spock : [Grabs Dr. M'Begna's wrist]  That will be quite enough. Thank you, Doctor.

  Dr. M'Benga : [to Mr. Scott]  Please, release her.

  Scott : What's this all about?

  Mr. Spock : She was doing as I requested, Mr. Scott, a Vulcan form of self-healing.

  Dr. M'Benga : As you saw, they must wait until the last possible moment, then fight their way back to consciousness.

  Nurse Chapel : Here, let me help you, Mr. Spock.

  [goes to Spock] 

  Mr. Spock : Thank you, nurse. I'm quite fully recovered.

  Nurse Chapel : Yes, I see you are.

• Scott : [Kirk and McCoy are holding Spock when they transport up]  What happened, Captain?

  Capt. Kirk : Lead projectile. Primitive firearm.

  Dr. M'Benga : [They put Spock on the bed]  Vitalizer 'B.'

  [Gives Spock an injection] 

  Dr. McCoy : Pressure backing.

  [Nurse hands pressure backing to McCoy] 

  Dr. McCoy : Lucky his heart is where his liver should be or he'd be dead now.

  Dr. M'Benga : Not good, sir.

  Dr. McCoy : Coranalin!

  Capt. Kirk : [Whistle from ship; Alarm goes off]  Bones, can you save him?

  Uhura : [Uhura talks through the speaker/intercom]  All decks, Red Alert! Battle Stations! Battle Stations! Go to Red Alert!

  Capt. Kirk : [Kirk walks to intercom]  Kirk here.

  Uhura : Uhura, sir. We have a Klingon vessel on our screen.

  Capt. Kirk : On my way. Scotty?

  [Kirk and Scott walk to door / door opens] 

  Capt. Kirk : Bones?

  Dr. McCoy : I don't know yet, Jim.

  [Kirk and Scott leave transporter room]
