James Doohan: Scott, Voice of Sargon

Quotes 

• Scott : [in astonished disbelief]  You're going to WHAT? Are they all right in the head, Doctor?

  Dr. McCoy : [boldly]  No comment.

  Capt. Kirk : A simple transference. Their minds and ours.

  Dr. McCoy : [sarcastically]  Quite simple. Happens every day.

• Dr. McCoy : There was enough poison in that hypo to kill 10 Vulcans.

  Sargon : No, Doctor, I allowed you to believe that to be true so that Henoch would read your thoughts and believe it also.

• Capt. Kirk : The planet is dead. There's no possibility of life there as we understand life.

  Sargon : And I am as dead as my planet.

• Sargon : But there comes to all races an ultimate crisis which you have yet to face.

• Scott : It's a fancy name, but how will something that looks like a drop of jelly make this thing work? You'll need microgears and some form of pulley that does what a muscle does.

• Sargon : Your probes have touched me, Mr. Spock.

• Capt. Kirk : That's twice you referred to us as "my children."

  Sargon : Because it is possible you are our descendants, Captain Kirk. Six thousand centuries ago, our vessels were colonizing this galaxy, just as your own starships have now begun to explore that vastness. As you now leave your own seed on distant planets, so we left our seed behind us. Perhaps your own legends of an Adam and an Eve were two of our travelers.

  Ann Mulhall : Our beliefs and our studies indicate that life on our planet Earth evolved independently.

  Mr. Spock : That would tend, however, to explain certain elements of Vulcan prehistory.
