Romulan Commander

Quote Episode
Romulan commander : 
"Why would you do this to me? What are you that you could do this?"
Spock : 
"First officer of the Enterprise."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"Allow me to rephrase. Will you join me for dinner?
Spock : 
"I am honoured, Commander. Are the guards also invited?"
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"You are a superior being. Why do you not command?"
Spock : 
"I do not desire a ship of my own."
Romulan commander : 
"Or is it that no one has offered you, a Vulcan, that opportunity?"
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"You must have your own ship."
Spock : 
"Commander, shall we speak plainly? It is you who desperately need a ship. You want the Enterprise."
Romulan commander : 
"Of course. It would be a great achievement for me to bring home the Enterprise intact. It would broaden the scope of my powers greatly. It would be the achievement of a lifetime. And it would open equal opportunities for you."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"You have nothing in Starfleet to which to return. I offer, we offer you an alternative. We will find a place for you, if you wish it."
Spock : 
"A place?"
Romulan commander : 
"With me. Romulan women are not like Vulcan females. We are not dedicated to pure logic and the sterility of non-emotion. Our people are warriors. Often savage. But we are also many other pleasant things."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"Now one final step to make the occasion complete. You will lead a small party of Romulans aboard the Enterprise, and there you will take your rightful place as its commander. And you will lead the ship to a Romulan port, with my flagship at its side."
Spock : 
"Yes, of course. But not just this moment. An hour from now will do even better... would it not, Commander?"
Romulan commander : 
"Yes. Yes, it will."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Tal : 
"We have you under our weapons, Enterprise. You cannot escape."
Kirk : 
"This is Captain Kirk. Hold your fire. We have your commander aboard."
Tal : 
"Commander?"
Romulan commander : 
"Destroy this vessel! I gave you a direct command! Tal!"
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Spock : 
"Deck two. It is regrettable that you were made an unwilling passenger. It was not intentional. All the Federation wanted was the cloaking device."
Romulan commander : 
"The Federation. And what did you want?"
Spock : 
"It was my only interest when I boarded your vessel."
Romulan commander : 
"And that's exactly all you came away with."
Spock : 
"You underestimate yourself, Commander."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
