Consider yourself confined to the base. An official enquiry will determine whether a court martial is in order. ibid.

But the instinct can be fought. We’re human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we’re killers ... but we’re not going to kill today. That’s all it takes! Knowing that we’re not going to kill – today! ibid. Kirk

Now let’s start by getting one thing straight – I’m not a do-gooder. If you’re a bum, if you can’t break off from the booze or whatever makes you a bad risk then get out. Now I don’t pretend to tell you how to find happiness and love when every day is just a struggle to survive. But I do insist that you do survive. Because the days and the years ahead are worth living for. And one day soon man is going to be able to harness incredible energies, maybe even the atom. Energies that could ultimately hurl us to [inaudible] world in some sort of space ship. And the men that reach out into space will be able to find ways to feed the hungry millions of the world and cure their diseases. They will be able to find a way to give each man hope and a common future. And those are the days worth living for. ibid. Joan Collins’ speech

Captain, got a minute? Star Trek s2e1: Amok, McCoy to Kirk

Do not bring that one, the one with the pointed ears. ibid.
Mankind has no need for gods. We find the one quite adequate. Kirk
