Quotes 

• Captain James T. Kirk : [to McCoy]  You seem to be the special favorite.

  Mr. Spock : Indeed, Doctor. The young lady did show a marked preference for your company.

  Dr. McCoy : Well, now, nobody can blame her for that, can he?

  Captain James T. Kirk : Personally, I find the lady's taste questionable; but she obviously prefers you, and you obviously don't seem to mind.

• Mr. Spock : Incredible as it may seem, these people have no idea they're living on a spaceship.

  Captain James T. Kirk : I wonder how many generations have lived out their lives, and... been buried here, without ever knowing that their world is hollow?

• Mr. Spock : Captain, informing these people they're on a ship may be in violation of the Prime Directive of Starfleet Command.

  Captain James T. Kirk : No. The people of Yonada may be changed by the knowledge, but it's better than exterminating them.

  Mr. Spock : Logical, Captain.

  Captain James T. Kirk : And the three billion on Daran V.

  Mr. Spock : Also logical, Captain.

• Mr. Spock : [studying the inscriptions on a door]  The writing is definitely Fabrini, Captain. I recognize it.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Fabrini... Didn't the Fabrini sun go nova and destroy its planets?

  Mr. Spock : Yes. Toward the end, the Fabrini people lived underground as these people do, to protect themselves.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Some of them must have been put aboard this ship and sent to another planet. And these... are their descendants.

• Mr. Spock : Captain. Intelligence files. Their banks contain the total knowledge of the Fabrini, ready for the people to consult when they arrive at their destination. And they seem to have amassed a great deal of medical knowledge.

• Mr. Spock : Your hemoglobin count is back to normal, Doctor, which indicates that the flow of oxygen to each cell of your body is back up to its abundantly energetic level.
