| Scott : | "No, sir, I will not." |
| Fox : | "What did you say!?" |
| Scott : | "I'll not lower the screens, not until the captain tells me to." |

| Scott : | "I know about your authority, but the screens stay up." |
| McCoy : | "Mr. Fox, they faked a message from the captain, they've launched an attack against our ship. You want us to trust them openly?" |
| Fox : | "I want you to obey my lawful orders!" |
| Scott : | "No, sir. I won't lower the screens." |
| Fox : | "Your refusal to comply with my orders has endangered the entire success of this mission! I can have you sent to a penal colony!" |
| Scott : | "You can, sir, but I won't lower the screens." |
| Fox : | "Your name will figure prominently in my report to the Federation Central." |
