Quotes
-
Dr. Roger Korby : Christine, you must realise an android is like a computer. It does only what I program. As a trained scientist yourself, you must realise...
Christine Chapel : That given a mechanical Dr. Brown, a mechanical geisha would be no more difficult?
Dr. Roger Korby : You think I could love a machine?
Christine Chapel : Did you?
Dr. Roger Korby : Andrea is incapable of that. She simply obeys orders.
-
Dr. Roger Korby : Do you realize the number of discoveries lost because of superstition, of ignorance, a layman's inability to comprehend?
-
Captain James T. Kirk : [referring to Ruk] He's an android? Like Brown?
Ruk : More complex than Brown. Much superior. I was left here by the Old Ones.
Dr. Roger Korby : Ruk was still tending the machinery when we arrived here. How many centuries?
[Ruk remains silent]
Dr. Roger Korby : Even Ruk doesn't know. With his help, with the records I could find, we built Brown.
Captain James T. Kirk : You've convinced me, Doctor. You've convinced me that you are dangerous.
[pushes over a table and makes a run for it]
-
Dr. Roger Korby : Can you imagine how life could be improved if we could do away with jealousy, greed, hate?
Captain James T. Kirk : It can also be improved by eliminating love, tenderness, sentiment. The other side of the coin, Doctor.
-
Andrea : I'm like Dr. Brown - an android. Didn't you know?
Dr. Roger Korby : Remarkable, isn't she? Notice the lifelike pigmentation, the variations in skin tones. The flesh - the flesh has warmth. There's even a pulse. Physical sensation.
Christine Chapel : [sarcastically] How convenient.
Dr. Roger Korby : Christine, you must realize an android is like a computer. It does only what I program. As a trained scientist yourself, you must realize...
Christine Chapel : That given a mechanical Dr. Brown, a mechanical geisha would be no more difficult.
Dr. Roger Korby : You think I could love a machine?
Christine Chapel : Did you?
Dr. Roger Korby : Andrea's incapable of that.
-
Captain James T. Kirk : Well, there's one difference between us: I'm hungry.
Kirk Android : The difference is your weakness, Captain, not mine.
Dr. Roger Korby : One at a time, gentlemen. Captain?
Captain James T. Kirk : Eating is a pleasure, sir. Unfortunately one you will never know.
Kirk Android : Perhaps. But I will never starve, sir.
-
Captain James T. Kirk : Agreed, Doctor. However, there will be two of us.
Christine Chapel : Hello, Roger.
Dr. Roger Korby : [over intercom] Christine?
Christine Chapel : Yes, Roger.
Dr. Roger Korby : Darling, how - where are you? Yes, yes, by all means, Captain. I - I had no idea, no hope. Darling, are you all right?
Christine Chapel : Yes, Roger. Everything's all right now.
Captain James T. Kirk : We're on our way, Doctor. We'll be with you in a moment. Enterprise out.
-
Andrea : I do not understand. Why are you unhappy? You are with Roger again.
Christine Chapel : Where is Captain Kirk?
Andrea : You are concerned about the Captain?
Christine Chapel : Yes, I am concerned.
Andrea : How can you love Roger without trusting him? Why does it bother you when I use the name Roger?
Dr. Roger Korby : Andrea, it's sufficient that it does disturb her. You will call me Dr. Korby from now on, Andrea.
Andrea : Yes, Dr. Korby.
-
Dr. Roger Korby : I need time to explain and demonstrate to him and you. Shall we start with Andrea?
Christine Chapel : Yes, let's start with Andrea.
-
Dr. Roger Korby : Christine, Christine, let me prove myself. Does this make such a difference?
Christine Chapel : [voice breaking] Don't you see, Roger? Everything you've done has proved it isn't you.
Dr. Roger Korby : I am Roger Korby!
Captain James T. Kirk : Then prove it. Give me that phaser gun. If there's any human left in you, give it to me.
-
Dr. Roger Korby : You might as well try to outthink a calculating machine.
Captain James T. Kirk : Obviously I can't.
-
Dr. Roger Korby : It's still me, Christine. Roger. I'm in here. You can't imagine how it was. I was frozen, dying. My legs were gone. I was... I had only my brain between life and death. This can be repaired, easier than another man can set a broken finger. I'm still the same as I was before, Christine, perhaps even better.
Christine Chapel : Are you, Roger?
