MCCOY
- No plots, no adventure, no fighting like humans
KIRK
- Surely our show will go into the can.
MCCOY

- This half-wit machine will get out of control
SPOCK
- But how can we stop it – its power increases
- It's tapped all the circuits; it's taken our role.

BRIDGE CREW
- Must die, must die, this unit must die
KIRK
- So like HAL before him, this unit must die
