Return to Tomorrow (1968)

George Takei: Sulu

Quotes 

• Mr. Spock : Captain, I do wish to inspect whatever this is that lived that long ago.

  Capt. Kirk : And I would like to have my science officer with me on something as unusual as this, but it is full of unknowns, and we can't risk both of us being off the ship.

  [all ship's controls suddenly shut down] 

  Sulu : All power gone, sir.

  Capt. Kirk : On the other hand, perhaps this Sargon would like you to come with us.

  [all power suddenly returns] 

  Mr. Spock : Fascinating.

• Sulu : The reading's growing stronger, Captain. Coming from a star system directly ahead.

  Uhura : It's not a signal, sir. It does not seem to even exist, and yet it's affecting all my channels.

  Capt. Kirk : [addressing Mr. Spock]  Well?

  Mr. Spock : Someone - or some *thing* - is attempting to attract our attention.

  Capt. Kirk : "Someone or something" has succeeded. Our distress signal relays have been activated. We've been given a direction to follow, but how? What's causing it?

  Mr. Spock : I do not know. Not even a Vulcan can know the unknown, Captain. We are hundreds of light years past where any Earth ship has ever explored.
