| Elaan : | "Captain, that ancient custom called 'spanking'. What is it?" | | to Kirk |
|
| Kirk : | "Courtesy. Remember?" |
| Elaan : | "Courtesy is not for inferiors." |
| Kirk : | "Courtesy is for everyone around here, and you'll find you won't be able to exist on Troyius without it. Mister Scott, our Chief Engineer, has shown you his engineering department. That's a courtesy. You respond by saying thank you." |

| Elaan : | We are interested in how the ship is used in combat, not in what drives it. Engines are for mechanics and menials. | | to Scotty |

| Petri : | There will be no wedding! I would not have our ruler marry that monster if the entire galaxy depended on it, and I will have nothing further to do with you! | | to Kirk |
|
| Kirk : | It's been my experience that the prejudices people feel about each other disappear when they get to know each other. | | to Elaan |
|
| Elaan : | "I have a plan. With this ship, you could completely obliterate Troyius. Then there will be no need for the marriage. And in gratitude, my people will give you the complete rule of this system." |
| Kirk : | "What kind of a mind could think of such a thing?" |
|
| Elaan : | "I love you. I have chosen you, and still I don't understand why you didn't fight the Klingon." |
| Kirk : | "If I can accomplish my mission by turning tail and running, I'll gladly do that." |
