Capt. Kirk : If I only had some phasers.
Scott : Phasers - you've got 'em. I have one bank recharged.
Capt. Kirk : Scotty, you just earned your pay for the week.

Mr. Spock : Captain, you're getting dangerously close to the planet killer.
Capt. Kirk : I intend to get a lot closer: I'm going to ram her right down that thing's throat.
Mr. Spock : Jim, you'll be killed, just like Decker.
Capt. Kirk : No, no, I don't intend to die, Mr. Spock. We've rigged a delay detonation device, you'll have 30 seconds to beam me aboard the Enterprise before the Constellation's impulse engines blow.
Mr. Spock : Your chances of survival are not promising. We don't even know if the explosion will be powerful enough.
Capt. Kirk : A calculated risk, Mr. Spock.
Mr. Spock : There's another factor, Captain. The transporter is not working at 100% efficiency. Thirty seconds is very slim timing.
Capt. Kirk : A chance I'll have to take. Kirk out.
Scott : A cranky transporter's a mighty finicky piece of machinery to be gambling your life on, sir.

[as the Constellation nears the planet-killer, Kirk presses the detonator, then grabs his communicator]
Capt. Kirk : Beam me aboard!
Mr. Spock : Energize.
Lt. Kyle : Energizing...
[the transporter shorts out]
Lt. Kyle : Bridge, it shorted out again!
Scott : [seeing the short, jumps back into the Jeffries tube] Och...!
Capt. Kirk : [still on the Constellation's bridge] Gentlemen... beam me aboard.

Capt. Kirk : What about the detonator?
Scott : I've linked it in with the impulse control system.
[presses a switch]
Scott : It's armed now.
[points to the last switch in the bank]
Scott : Press this one, thirty seconds later, poof! Once it's activated, there's no way to stop it.
Capt. Kirk : Understood.
