00:00:00Position, orbiting planet M-113.
00:00:03On board the Enterprise, Mr. Spock, temporarily in command.
00:00:10On the planet, the ruins of an ancient and long-dead civilization.
00:00:18Ship Surgeon McCoy and myself are now beaming down to the planet's surface.
00:00:22Our mission? Routine medical examination of archaeologist Robert Crater and his wife, Nancy.
00:00:35Routine, but for the fact that Nancy Crater is that one woman in Dr. McCoy's past.
00:00:47Shall we pick some flowers, Doctor?
00:00:49When a man visits an old girlfriend, she usually expects something like that.
00:00:57Is that how you get girls to like you? By bridging them?
00:01:03Doesn't seem to be anybody around, does it?
00:01:06Well, they'll be along. You rushed us down ten minutes early.
00:01:09Professor Crater?
00:01:22Professor?
00:01:24Mrs. Crater?
00:01:34Nervous, Dr. McCoy?
00:01:36Yeah, a little bit, I guess.
00:01:40I see. We walked out of each other's lives ten years ago.
00:01:45She married Crater, and for all I know, she may have forgotten me completely.
00:01:49Oh.
00:01:51All the bonehead ideas, Jim.
00:01:53How do I let myself in for things like this?
00:01:56Lenny.
00:02:04Nancy.
00:02:05Hello.
00:02:10It's good to see.
00:02:12Let me look at you.
00:02:15We haven't aged a day.
00:02:17Oh, this is Captain Jim Kirk of the Enterprise.
00:02:32Mrs. Crater?
00:02:34I've heard a great deal about you.
00:02:36All good, I hope.
00:02:41And crewman Darnell?
00:02:43How do you do, ma'am?
00:02:45Something wrong, Darnell?
00:02:52Oh, excuse me, sir, but...
00:02:55Ma'am, if I didn't know better, I would swear that you were somebody I left behind on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet.
00:03:01It's funny, you're exactly like a girl that...
00:03:03A little less mouth, Darnell.
00:03:05I'm sorry, sir.
00:03:06I didn't mean to, uh...
00:03:08I mean, I know it's impossible, of course.
00:03:11Why don't you step outside, Darnell?
00:03:15Yes, sir.
00:03:17Thank you, sir.
00:03:20Maybe I'll step outside, too.
00:03:22What?
00:03:24And let Plum examine me all alone?
00:03:28Plum.
00:03:29Plum.
00:03:30A nickname I gave Leonard when we were very young.
00:03:38I'll, uh...
00:03:39I'll wait for the professor, and I'll catch you both at once.
00:03:45I'd better go get Bob.
00:03:47Every time he starts digging, he forgets time, sleep, food, everything.
00:03:54Be back in a minute.
00:04:01It's quite warm here, isn't it?
00:04:03It's quite warm.
00:04:04It's quite warm.
00:04:04It's quite warm.
00:04:05It's quite warm.
00:04:06It's very warm.
00:04:22I don't know.
00:04:25Oh, I know.
00:04:27Space, the final frontier.
00:04:40These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
00:04:45Its five-year mission, to explore strange new worlds.
00:04:51To seek out new life and new civilizations.
00:04:54To boldly go where no man has gone before.
00:05:24Captain's log.
00:05:47Additional entry.
00:05:48Since our mission was routine, we had beamed down to the planet without suspicion.
00:05:56We were totally unaware that each member of the landing party was seeing a different woman.
00:06:03A different Nancy Crater.
00:06:08Professor Crater, I'm Captain Kirk.
00:06:11This is, uh...
00:06:12The Roy Captain and the intrepid Dr. Cross Interstellar Space to preserve our health.
00:06:18Oh, your sense of duty is overwhelming.
00:06:21Now, will you please go back where you came from and tell whoever issues your orders to leave me and my wife alone?
00:06:28We need additional salt against the heat.
00:06:31Aside from that, we're doing very well, thank you.
00:06:34I'm pleased to hear you're doing well, but I'm required to confirm that fact.
00:06:39Doubtless.
00:06:40The good surgeon will enjoy prodding and poking us with his arcane machinery.
00:06:46Go away.
00:06:47We don't want you.
00:06:49What you want is unimportant right now.
00:06:53What you will get is what is required by the book.
00:06:56Quote, all research personnel on alien planets are required to have their health certified by starship surgeon at one-year intervals.
00:07:06Like it or not, Professor, as commander of the starship, I'm required to show your gold braid to everyone.
00:07:12You love it, don't you?
00:07:14He's all yours, Plum, Dr. McCoy.
00:07:20Sit down and breathe deeply, please.
00:07:22Did I hear you call him Dr. McCoy?
00:07:25You did?
00:07:26Hmm.
00:07:31McCoy.
00:07:35I've heard Nancy speak of a Dr. McCoy.
00:07:38Well, that's me.
00:07:39Didn't she mention I was here?
00:07:40You?
00:07:42You've seen Nancy?
00:07:43She went out to get you.
00:07:45You've seen her, too.
00:07:46You were with the good doctor.
00:07:48Yes, what?
00:07:49Oh, I think it's just that it gives me great pleasure to know that she's gotten to see an old friend
00:07:55and has a chance for some company.
00:07:57It was different for me.
00:08:00I enjoy solitude.
00:08:02But for a woman, you understand, of course.
00:08:06Well, it certainly hasn't aged her.
00:08:11She looks exactly as I knew her 12 years ago.
00:08:15Amazing, Jim.
00:08:16Like a girl of 25.
00:08:17Oh, sorry.
00:08:19I'm sorry, Captain.
00:08:20Sit down.
00:08:21I seem to have forgotten my manners.
00:08:23Quite all right.
00:08:24I'm not joking, Jim.
00:08:30She hasn't aged today.
00:08:32There's not a gray hair in her head.
00:08:34She's got some gray bones.
00:08:37Excuse me, Professor.
00:08:38She's a handsome woman, yes, but hardly 25.
00:08:42You've seen my wife with the eyes of your past attachment, Doctor.
00:08:53I'm sure when Nancy lets, when you see her again, she'll be of a believable age.
00:09:02Well, at any rate, she doesn't look a day over 30.
00:09:06Genuine affection.
00:09:07I'm glad you still feel it for her.
00:09:12Leonard, isn't it?
00:09:14She's a fine woman.
00:09:16Open your mouth.
00:09:17Well, I thought the machine was...
00:09:18The machine is capable of almost anything.
00:09:21I'll still put my trust in a healthy set of consoles.
00:09:24Now, open your mouth.
00:09:37McCoy.
00:09:57McCoy.
00:09:57Dead, Jim.
00:10:04A strange.
00:10:05Red mottling all over his face.
00:10:09What happened?
00:10:10What do you suppose happened, Captain?
00:10:11You beamed down a crewman who doesn't know better than to eat an untested plant.
00:10:16I've just lost a crewman, Mrs. Crater.
00:10:18I want to know what happened.
00:10:20Well, I...
00:10:21I...
00:10:23Just take it easy, Nancy.
00:10:25Just tell us what you know.
00:10:32Well, I was just...
00:10:36I couldn't find Bob, and...
00:10:42I was coming back.
00:10:44I crossed to your crewman.
00:10:47I wanted him to know I...
00:10:48I wasn't offended by the things he'd said back there.
00:10:54You remember?
00:10:55I...
00:10:56Then I...
00:11:01I noticed he had a Borgia plant in his hand.
00:11:08Before I could say anything, he...
00:11:11He'd taken a bite from it.
00:11:12He...
00:11:13He fell.
00:11:14To a...
00:11:16To a stick...
00:11:18I...
00:11:21Then did you look at me like you don't believe me?
00:11:27No.
00:11:27No, no, no.
00:11:28It's not that at all.
00:11:29It's something entirely different.
00:11:30uh jim i suppose we could complete these examinations later we don't need an examination
00:11:43you can see that perhaps you'd better take your man and we're well aware of our next duties
00:11:49professor we'll complete your examinations tomorrow
00:11:52transporter room transporter room captain lock onto us three beating out locked onto you captain
00:12:04salt you'd ask him about more salt tablets i'll take care of the provisioning nancy
00:12:22missouri your last subspace log contained an error in the frequencies column
00:12:36mr spock sometimes i think if i hear that word frequency once more i'll cry
00:12:43cry i was just trying to start a conversation
00:12:50well since it is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word frequency
00:13:00i have no answer no you have an answer i'm an illogical woman who's beginning to feel too
00:13:10much a part of a communications council
00:13:12why don't you tell me i'm an attractive young lady
00:13:18or ask me if i've ever been in love
00:13:21tell me how your planet vulcan looks on a lazy evening when the moon is full
00:13:28vulcan has no moon miss it were
00:13:34i'm not surprised mr spock
00:13:38transporter room to bridge landing party returning they report one death
00:13:45bridge acknowledging
00:13:49i don't believe it
00:13:55explain you explain that means that somebody is dead and you just
00:14:01sit there it could be captain kirk he's the closest thing you have to a friend
00:14:07lieutenant my demonstration of concern will not change what has happened
00:14:12the transporter room is very well manned and they will call me if they need my assistance
00:14:17she called it a borgia plant
00:14:29something new to me
00:14:31bridge to dispensary
00:14:33go ahead mr spock
00:14:35borgia plant listed in library record tapes as carbon group three vegetation
00:14:40similar to earth nightshade family alkaloid poison chemical structure common to most class m planets
00:14:48about the strange modeling on his facial skin surface
00:14:52there is no reference to this symptom
00:14:55well then this man wasn't poison
00:14:58stand by mr spark
00:15:02she said she saw him eat the plant
00:15:05she's mistaken i know alkaloid poison what to look for there's not a trace of in his body
00:15:09there were bits of the plant in his mouth
00:15:11jim don't tell me my business he could not have swallowed any my instruments would have picked up any trace of it whatsoever
00:15:17then what kills a healthy man
00:15:19i'll tell you something else
00:15:21this man shouldn't be dead
00:15:23i can't find anything wrong with him
00:15:25according to all the tests he should get up and just walk away from here
00:15:28i don't know
00:15:38i'll have the test double check my eyes may be tricking me
00:15:42but i swear jim when i first saw her she looked just as i'd known her 10 years ago
00:15:52granted the moment i may have been looking at her through a romantic haze
00:15:57how your lost love affects your vision doctor doesn't interest me i've lost a man
00:16:02i want to know what killed him

00:17:22visited by various vessels
00:17:25made fairly heavy shipments out of artifacts and reports
00:17:30however
00:17:32there has been a marked drop in shipments during the last year
00:17:36dispensary to captain
00:17:38kirk here
00:17:42we found something
00:17:43what is it

00:18:22except the red rings on his face
00:18:24you call that skin motley
00:18:26i thought it was

00:18:40in the mood for an apology
00:18:41ah forget it

00:19:46you got that mr spark
00:19:47complete analysis
00:19:49captain

00:20:42for salt
00:20:42on a hot and arid planet
00:20:44like this professor

00:25:27There's a body down there, Sturgeon.
00:25:29We'll bring him home, sir.
00:25:33You could use some sleep bones.
00:25:36All right, sir.
00:25:46Bridge.
00:26:16Oh, Green.
00:26:22What went on down there?
00:26:29Who do you think you are?
00:26:41Something odd, Captain.
00:26:44You said two people.
00:26:46Professor and Nancy Crater.
00:26:47You get a reading on only one person.
00:26:50Probably Crater.
00:26:52He's circling as if searching for something.
00:26:56Expand search radius.
00:26:58Yes, sir.
00:27:08Why don't you go chase an asteroid?
00:27:11Hey, Janice.
00:27:13Is that for me?
00:27:14Don't you wish it was?
00:27:19How about that?
00:27:21Yeah, how'd you like to have her as your own personal yeoman?
00:27:23Where are you, Sulu?
00:27:52And you're feeding the weepers, Janice.
00:27:55I've got your tray.
00:27:57May the great bird of the galaxy bless your planet.
00:28:02Hello, Beauregard.
00:28:04How are you today, darling?
00:28:06Her name's Gertrude.
00:28:08No, it's a he plant.
00:28:10A girl can tell.
00:28:12A lot of people have to call inanimate objects she.
00:28:16Like, um, she's a fast shit.
00:28:18He is not an inanimate object.
00:28:21He's so animate, he makes me nervous.
00:28:25In fact, I keep expecting one of these plants of yours to, uh, grab me.
00:28:30Hello, Beauregard.
00:29:00Green.
00:29:09He's not talking today.
00:29:10Have you been nipping sari and brandy or something?
00:29:21Take it easy.
00:29:50Calm down.
00:29:52Very sensitive.
00:29:55He's the real spook.
00:29:56Suppose he's going space-happy or something?
00:29:58If the door to my quarter still rattles when it opens, would you stop by and see if you can do something about it?
00:30:27Thanks, Bobby.
00:30:29Thanks, Bobby.
00:30:29Crewman, do I know you?
00:30:54In a way, ma'am, you were just thinking of someone like me.
00:31:04I'm guessing, of course, but you do look a little lonely.
00:31:07I see.
00:31:08So naturally, when I'm lonely, I think of you.
00:31:13I say you, but you can't be a little lonely.
00:31:17A small, I'm also hungry.
00:31:21And Swahili?
00:31:26Swahili.
00:31:35Lieutenant Uhura to the bridge.
00:31:51Lieutenant Uhura to the bridge.
00:31:56I better get this tray back.
00:31:58Bye, moral guard.
00:31:59Wait a minute.
00:32:00I'll walk along.
00:32:03Lieutenant Uhura, report to the bridge.
00:32:12Lieutenant Uhura, on my way, sir.
00:32:26Lieutenant h tolerated.
00:32:36The portal до the bridge.
00:32:38Corridor Bridge, Captain there.
00:32:49Kirk here.
00:32:50Nothing to report, Doctor. We haven't located Mrs. Crater.
00:32:53What's the matter? Can't you sleep?
00:32:55Nope.
00:32:56Try taking one of those red pills you gave me last week.
00:33:00You'll sleep.
00:33:08You'll sleep.
00:33:38Unless there's something seriously wrong with the ship's equipment, there's only one person within a hundred-mile circle.
00:33:45All right. We'll triangulate on them.
00:33:48We'll let Professor Crater explain what happened to his wife.
00:33:54Remember my instructions, Lieutenant. Keep a tight fix on us.
00:33:59If we let out a yell, I want an armed party down there before the echo dies.
00:34:03Yes, Captain.
00:34:18Nancy.
00:34:41Nancy.
00:34:44Well, come in.
00:34:45Come in.
00:34:46I've been worried.
00:34:47I'm sick about you.
00:34:52Wonder why Jim didn't tell me he found you.
00:34:55I'm so happy to see you, Leonard.
00:34:58The others, they...
00:34:59Well, I...
00:35:00I don't relate to them as much as with you.
00:35:03You...
00:35:03You have such strong memories of me.
00:35:07Wow.
00:35:07You do care, don't you, Leonard?
00:35:09It makes me feel so...
00:35:15So safe.
00:35:19Nancy.
00:35:20My husband.
00:35:21I like your feelings better.
00:35:30Much...
00:35:31Stronger.
00:35:38But you're tired.
00:35:42You need to rest.
00:35:43You're as bad as Jim, Kurt.
00:35:49He's been telling me to take these.
00:35:52I think you should.
00:35:55I'll get you some water.
00:35:56Look at his face.
00:36:14Brings suit him.
00:36:15Trouble on deck nine, section two.
00:36:17We need a medical team.
00:36:18Captain's log, stardate 1513.8.
00:36:35I am now certain that the violent death of Mike Ruman was caused by some strange life form.
00:36:42I was so worried.
00:36:45Your husband acting strange.
00:36:49Ruman dying.
00:36:51You're so tired, darling.
00:36:53Just rest now.
00:36:56Medical department alert.
00:36:59Doctors and medics acknowledge.
00:37:02It's nothing, dear.
00:37:03It's nothing.
00:37:05You just sleep.
00:37:07Nancy will take care of everything.
00:37:23Dr. McCoy to the bridge.
00:37:25Dr. McCoy to the bridge.
00:37:28Dr. McCoy to the bridge.
00:37:37Dr. McCoy to the bridge.
00:38:01Dr. McCoy to the bridge.
00:38:03Dr. McCoy to the bridge.
00:38:07Dr. McCoy to the bridge.
00:38:25Captain's log, additional.
00:38:29Armed and able-bodied crewmen are not attacked and slaughtered this easily.

00:44:01Acknowledged.
00:44:08Crater?
00:44:11Your wife, Professor, where is she?
00:44:32Your wife, Professor, where is she?
00:44:36She was the last of her kind.
00:44:40The last of her kind?
00:44:47The last of its kind.
00:44:52The last of its kind.
00:44:59Earth history, remember?
00:45:03Like the passenger pigeon or the buffalo.
00:45:10I feel strange.
00:45:14Just done.
00:45:15You'll be able to think in a minute.
00:45:21The Earth buffalo.
00:45:22What about it?
00:45:25Once there were millions of them.
00:45:28The prairies, black with them.
00:45:30One herd covered three whole states.
00:45:34And when they moved, they were like thunder.
00:45:37And now they're gone.
00:45:39Is that what you mean?
00:45:42Like the creatures here.
00:45:46Once there were millions of them.
00:45:49Now there's one left.
00:45:51Nancy understood.
00:45:54Always in the past tense.
00:45:55Where's your wife?
00:45:56Where is she now?
00:45:57Dead.
00:45:58Buried up on the hill that killed her.
00:46:01When?
00:46:02For a year.
00:46:03Or was it two?
00:46:08Buried up on the hill that killed her.
00:46:11When?
00:46:12For a year.
00:46:13Or was it two?
00:46:15Was it two?
00:46:23Burke to Enterprise.
00:46:25Bridge to Captain.
00:46:26Sulu here.
00:46:27It's definite, Mr. Sulu.
00:46:29The intruder can assume any shape.
00:46:31Crewman you, myself, anyone.
00:46:32Do you understand?
00:46:33Affirmative, Captain.
00:46:34Go to GQ-4.
00:46:35General quarters four, Captain.
00:46:37The creature was trying to survive.
00:46:41It has that right, isn't it?
00:46:43Kirk to transporter room
00:46:46Three to beam up
00:46:47They needed salt to stay alive
00:46:50There was no more salt
00:46:51It's the
00:46:53Last one
00:46:55The buffalo
00:46:57There is no difference
00:46:58There's one professor
00:47:00Your creature is killing my people
00:47:13Captain's log, continue it
00:47:20The Enterprise has been invaded
00:47:23By a creature capable of assuming
00:47:25Any form
00:47:26With a capacity to paralyze
00:47:29And draw the life from any one of us
00:47:31Deck 5, section 3
00:47:33Deck 5, section 3
00:47:35Report
00:47:36Security 3A here
00:47:373B in sight
00:47:39Negative, Captain
00:47:45I checked every face on this vessel
00:47:47It was not a crewman I saw
00:47:50John Moran, how long was this green with you?
00:47:53As long as he
00:47:54It thought it could get to the salt in my tray, sir
00:47:57Mr. Spock
00:47:58Supplies of salt have been set out as bait
00:48:02At all decks and engineering levels, Captain
00:48:04However, no one or nothing
00:48:06Has approached them as yet
00:48:07Dr. McClellan
00:48:10Yes
00:48:12Medical department report, Doctor
00:48:15Oh
00:48:17Well, we
00:48:19Could offer it salt without tricks
00:48:23There's no reason for it to attack us
00:48:26Your attitude is laudable, Doctor
00:48:27But your reasoning is reckless
00:48:29The creature is not dangerous, one said
00:48:32No, it's simply trying to survive
00:48:37By using its natural ability to take other forms
00:48:41The way the chameleon uses its protective coloring
00:48:44An ability retained, no doubt, from its primitive state
00:48:48The way we have retained our incisor teeth
00:48:51They were once fangs
00:48:53Certain of our muscles were designed for chase
00:48:56It uses its ability the way we would use our muscles and teeth
00:49:01If necessary to stay alive
00:49:02And like us, it's an intelligent animal
00:49:07It's, uh, there's no need to hunt it down
00:49:11Very interesting hypothesis, Doctor
00:49:14Briefing room
00:49:19All the halls sealed off
00:49:21All weapons accounted for and locked away
00:49:23Security for an effect on every level
00:49:26Still no lead on intruder
00:49:29Thank you, Lieutenant
00:49:30Continue the search
00:49:32Crater
00:49:34We don't know who or what we're looking for
00:49:36We need your help
00:49:37And now
00:49:38I demand it
00:49:40I even beg it
00:49:41That you get off my planet
00:49:42Can you recognize this thing when you see it?
00:49:51Professor
00:49:52I'll forego charges up to this point
00:49:56But this creature's aboard my ship
00:49:59And I'll have it
00:50:01Or I'll have your skin
00:50:02Oh, both
00:50:03Now, where is it?
00:50:16I love Nancy very much
00:50:19You women like my Nancy
00:50:22She lives in my dreams
00:50:25She walks and sings in my dreams
00:50:28And it becomes Nancy for you
00:50:32Not because of tricks
00:50:34It doesn't trick me
00:50:35It needs love as much as it needs salt
00:50:40When it killed Nancy
00:50:42I almost destroyed it
00:50:44But it isn't just a beast
00:50:48It is intelligent
00:50:50And the last of its kind
00:50:53You bleed too much, Crater
00:50:56You're too pure and noble
00:50:59You saving the last of its kind
00:51:03Or has this become Crater's private heaven
00:51:05Here on this planet?
00:51:08This thing becomes
00:51:10Wife, lover, best friend
00:51:12Wise man, fool
00:51:14Idle slave
00:51:15It isn't a bad life
00:51:19To have everyone in the universe
00:51:22At your beck and call
00:51:23And you win all the arguments
00:51:24You don't understand
00:51:27If you learn to see this thing
00:51:29In whatever form it becomes
00:51:31Yes
00:51:33Are you going to help us find it?
00:51:43Sorry, I can't
00:51:44Recommend we use truth serum, Captain
00:51:49Doctor
00:51:52Well, I resist using it
00:52:00But in this case
00:52:01The professor will give us the truth
00:52:04Thank you
00:52:17I'll accompany you, Doctor
00:52:18Oh, yes, of course
00:52:21Captain Kirk to dispensary
00:52:41Captain Kirk to dispensary
00:52:43It wasn't McCoy
00:52:54It was the creature
00:52:56It hit me
00:52:57Crater grabbed my phaser
00:52:59Wondered about McCoy
00:53:03Doubt it crossed my mind
00:53:06Captain
00:53:09Professor Crater
00:53:15Dead
00:53:18Had you too
00:53:22Fortunately, my ancestors
00:53:24Spawned in another ocean
00:53:26Than yours did
00:53:26My blood salts
00:53:28Are quite different
00:53:29Leonard
00:53:43Leonard
00:53:44Leonard, wake up
00:53:45Please, help me
00:53:46Help me, Leonard
00:53:47They're trying to kill me
00:53:49Don't let them kill me
00:53:51Oh, easy, easy
00:53:52Nobody's going to
00:53:53But you must help me
00:53:54Move aside, Bones
00:54:05What's going on here, Jim?
00:54:08She's not Nancy, Bones
00:54:10Are you insane?
00:54:18It killed four crewmen
00:54:20Now Crater
00:54:22It
00:54:23The creature
00:54:24It kills
00:54:26It needs salt to live
00:54:28Bones, move aside
00:54:30No
00:54:31My guess is she needs more
00:54:35You want it, Nancy?
00:54:37Come and get it
00:54:49You're frightening her, Jim
00:54:52Not fright
00:54:53Hunger
00:54:55Look at her
00:54:57Leonard
00:54:58If you love me
00:55:00Make him go away
00:55:01Come on
00:55:02You want this, Nancy?
00:55:04Come on, Nancy
00:55:05Come and get it
00:55:06Come and get it
00:55:06Here it is
00:55:07Bones, I can't
00:55:08Get out of the way
00:55:09Stop it, Jim
00:55:10McCoy, get out of the way
00:55:11What's the matter with you?
00:55:11Help me
00:55:12Here, you want this?
00:55:12Get out of your mind
00:55:13Get out of the way
00:55:37It's killing the captain
00:55:39It's killing the captain
00:55:39Shoot it, Doctor
00:55:40Quickly
00:55:41No
00:55:41No
00:55:43It's killing the captain
00:55:47Shoot, quick
00:55:49I won't shoot Nancy
00:55:50This is not Nancy
00:55:52If she were Nancy
00:55:54Could she take this?
00:55:56Stop it
00:55:57Stop it, Spock
00:55:58Stop it
00:56:00Is that Nancy
00:56:10Doctor
00:56:11No
00:56:12No
00:56:23No
00:56:23No
00:56:23No
00:56:28THE END
00:56:58Let it, let it, no
00:57:12Let it, please
00:57:22Lord, forgive me
00:57:28Let it, please
00:57:58Sorry, Bones
00:57:59Ready to leave orbit, Captain
00:58:21Something wrong, Captain?
00:58:37I was thinking about the buffalo, Mr. Spock
00:58:39Warp one, Mr. Sulu
00:58:55Warp one, sir
00:58:56Let it, let it go
00:58:57Let it, let it, let it, let it, let it go
00:59:02THE END
00:59:32THE END
01:00:02THE END
