| Spock : | "I've noticed that about your people. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours." | | to McCoy |

| Kirk : | "We're on a difficult mission, but it's not the first time. Our orders do not say 'stay alive' or 'retreat'. Our mission is to investigate." | | to crew |
|
| McCoy : | "Here we are. Antibodies of our own galaxy, attacking an invading germ. It would be ironic indeed if that were our sole destiny, wouldn't it?" | | to Kirk |
|
| McCoy : | "Shut up, Spock! We're rescuing you!" | | to Spock |
