Capt. Kirk : Trying to get yourself killed. Do you know how much Starfleet has invested in you?

Mr. Spock : Dr. McCoy's potion is acting like all his potions - turning my stomach.

Mr. Spock : Captain, you are aware of the biblical story of Genesis.
Capt. Kirk : Yes, of course I'm aware of that. Adam and Eve tasted the apple and as a result were driven out of paradise.
Mr. Spock : Precisely, Captain. And, in a manner of speaking, we have given the people of Vaal "the apple" - the knowledge of good and evil if you will - as a result of which they too have been driven out of paradise.
Capt. Kirk : Doctor, do I understand him correctly? Are you casting me in the role of Satan?
Mr. Spock : Not at all, Captain.
Capt. Kirk : [circumnavigating Spock with McCoy] Is there anyone on this ship who even remotely looks like Satan?
Mr. Spock : I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain.
Capt. Kirk : No, Mr. Spock, I didn't think you would.

Mr. Spock : In my view, a splendid example of reciprocity.
Dr. McCoy : It would take a computerized Vulcan mind such as yours to make that kind of a statement.

Dr. McCoy : There are certain absolutes, Mister Spock, and one of them is the right of humanoids to a free and unchained environment, the right to have conditions which permit growth.
Mr. Spock : Another is their right to choose a system which seems to work for them.
Dr. McCoy : Jim, you're not just going to stand by and be blinded to what's going on here. These are humanoids, intelligent. They need to advance and grow. Don't you understand what my readings indicate? There's been no progress here in at least ten thousand years. This isn't life. It's stagnation.
Mr. Spock : Doctor, these people are healthy and they are happy. What ever you choose to call it, this system works, despite your emotional reaction to it.
Dr. McCoy : It might work for you, Mister Spock, but it doesn't work for me. Humanoids living so they can service a hunk of tin.
