- Captain James T. Kirk: Let me leave you with this: individuals among us act as individuals, for good and for ill. But overall, the different races of the Federation are joined in a mutual respect that overcomes differences. I think you will be pleased with us.

- Captain James T. Kirk: Captain Klarr, we don't want this woman to die any more than you do; not because we want to milk her brain dry, but because she's an important being in her own right. Just as important to the universe as... well, as your companion there. Maybe more so.
