Quotes

Dr. McCoy : Jim, I think I liked him with a beard better. It gave him character. Of course almost any change would be a distinct improvement.
Captain James T. Kirk : What worries me is the easy way his counterpart fitted into that other universe. I always thought Spock was a bit of a pirate at heart.
Mr. Spock : Indeed, gentlemen. May I point out that I had an opportunity to observe your counterparts here quite closely. They were brutal, savage, unprincipled, uncivilized, treacherous - in every way splendid examples of homo sapiens, the very flower of humanity. I found them quite refreshing.
Captain James T. Kirk : [to McCoy] I'm not sure, but I think we've been insulted.
Dr. McCoy : I'm sure.
-
Bones : Jim, the way this ship is run, what kind of people *are* we in this universe?
Captain James T. Kirk : Let's find out. Computer?
Computer Voice : [male voice] Ready.
Captain James T. Kirk : Read out official record of current command.
Computer Voice : Captain James T. Kirk, succeeded to command ISS Enterprise through assassination of Captain Christopher Pike. First action: suppression of Gorlan uprising through destruction of rebel home planet. Second action: execution of 5000 colonists on Vega IX.
Captain James T. Kirk : Cancel.
[stands, disgusted]
Captain James T. Kirk : Now we know.
-
Dr. McCoy : [wiping Kirk's chin] What's this?
Captain James T. Kirk : It's called blood. Watch your step. The officers move up by assassination. Chekov tried it on me.
Scotty : Mr. Sulu is security chief, like the ancient Gestapo.
Dr. McCoy : And my sickbay is a chamber of horrors. Two of my assistants were betting on the tolerance of an injured man; how long it would take him to pass out from the pain.
Captain James T. Kirk : Report on technology.
Scotty : Mostly variations in instrumentation. Nothing I can't handle.
Captain James T. Kirk : Star readings?
Scotty : Everything's exactly where it should be, except us.
-
Dr. McCoy : [treating Mirror Spock after he's knocked unconscious] Do you want me to stop, Jim? It'll only take a minute.
Captain James T. Kirk : He is very much like our own Mr. Spock, isn't he? You've got that minute.
-
Dr. McCoy : [in his quarters on the parallel Enterprise] What is this? Everything's all messed up, changed around, out of place.
Uhura : Captain, what's happened?
Dr. McCoy : No, not everything.
[pointing to a tabletop]
Dr. McCoy : That spot, I spilled acid there a year ago. Jim, what in blazes is...
Captain James T. Kirk : I don't know. It's our Enterprise, but it isn't. Maybe...
Uhura : Maybe what, Captain?
Captain James T. Kirk : Any of you feel dizzy when we were in the transporter beam when we first materialized?
Uhura : Yes.
Scotty : I did.
Captain James T. Kirk : It happened twice. First we were in our own transporter chamber, then we faded. And then when we finally materialized, we were here, wherever this is.
-
Scotty : Captain, the transporter chief mentioned a surge of power. The transporter lock might have been affected by the ion storm and we just materialized somewhere else.
Captain James T. Kirk : Yes, here. Not our universe, not our ship. Something... parallel. A parallel universe co-existing with ours on another dimensional plane. Everything's duplicated... almost. Another Enterprise. Spock with a beard.
Uhura : Another Captain Kirk, another Dr. McCoy...
Dr. McCoy : An exchange. If we're here...
Captain James T. Kirk : Then our counterparts must have been transporting up at the exact same time. Similar storms on both universes disrupted the circuits. We're here, and they're...
[realizing]
Captain James T. Kirk : ...on our Enterprise. Probably asking the same questions; are we in another universe? And if so, how do we get back to our own? They'll use the computer, and we have to.
Dr. McCoy : What about the Halkans? We can't let them be destroyed.
Captain James T. Kirk : Scotty, can you buy me some time? Get below and short out the main phaser couplings. They'll think the storm blew the standby circuits.
Scotty : Aye, sir.
Captain James T. Kirk : Then get on this technology. It's all we have to work with if we wanna get back home. The intercom may be monitored. Use your communicators for private messages. Subfrequency and scramble.
-
Scotty : We have to lay in the automatic transporter setting, but when we interrupt engine circuits to tie the power increase into the transporter, it'll show up on Sulu's security board. Of course, we'll only need a second.
Captain James T. Kirk : I'll tell Uhura to create a diversion, distract Sulu's attention at your signal. We'd better get back to our posts. Keep me advised.
Dr. McCoy : Jim. If we're here, what do you suppose our counterparts are doing back in our universe?
Captain James T. Kirk : On our Enterprise.

Mirror Kirk : [yells] I order you! Let me go!
[Mirror Kirk is being restrained by Enterprise security]
Mirror Kirk : TRAITORS! Spock! Get these men off me!
[Mirror Kirk is thrown into the ship's brig with the evil counterparts of Bones McCoy, Uhura and Scotty; all are talking at once]
Bones : What do you think you're doing, Spock?
Mirror Kirk : Spock! You traitorous pig, I'll hang you up by your Vulcan ears! I'll have you ALL EXECUTED!
Mr. Spock : I think not. Your authority on this ship is extremely limited, Captain. The four of you will remain here in the brig and in custody until I discover how to return you to wherever it is you belong.
Mirror Kirk : Has the whole galaxy gone crazy? What kind of uniform is this? Where's your beard? What's going on? Where's my personal guard?
Mr. Spock : I can answer none of your questions at this time.
Mirror Kirk : [laughs] All right, Spock. Whatever your game is, I'll play it. You want credits, I'll give them to you. You'll be a rich man. A command of your own? I can swing that, too.
Mr. Spock : Apparently, some kind of transposition has taken place. I find it... extremely interesting.
Mirror Kirk : Spock! What is it that will buy you? Power?
Mr. Spock : Fascinating.
Mirror Kirk : [yells] Power, Spock! I can get that for you!
