[last lines]
Lt. Marlena Moreau : [handing over a report] Captain Kirk.
[in background, Uhura turns and, in surprise, recognizes the Lieutenant]
Captain James T. Kirk : Lieutenant... um... Lieutenant...?
Lt. Marlena Moreau : Marlena Moreau. I was just assigned last week.
Captain James T. Kirk : All right, Lieutenant. Carry on.
Mr. Spock : You've met her before, Captain?
Captain James T. Kirk : Uh, why do you ask?
Mr. Spock : Your reaction: one of... recognition?
Captain James T. Kirk : Oh, no. No, no. We haven't met before... exactly. She just seemed... a nice, likable girl. I think we could become friends. It's possible.
-
Mirror Marlena : I've been a captain's woman and I like it. I'll be one again if I have to go through every officer in the fleet.
-
Mirror Marlena : I want one thing, Captain: Transfer me! On the Enterprise I am humiliated. On another ship I can hunt fresh game.
-
Mirror Marlena : Let's drink a toast to Spock. The only man aboard with the decency to warn you, and he'll die for it. You'll never find another man like him.
Captain James T. Kirk : I don't intend to kill him.
Mirror Marlena : Are you going to act against the Halkans before the deadline?
Captain James T. Kirk : No. But I'll avoid killing Spock.
Mirror Marlena : Just get him out of the way, he and his men.
Captain James T. Kirk : I'll get out of his way.

Mirror Marlena : [showing Kirk the Tantalus field] I hate this thing.
Captain James T. Kirk : It's not that bad.
Mirror Marlena : Of course not. It made you captain. How many enemies have you simply wiped out of existence by the touch of a button? 50, 100? Hmm. Now, I always thought that was funny; the great, powerful Captain Kirk who owes everything to some unknown alien scientist and a plundered laboratory.
Captain James T. Kirk : Well, if you don't take advantage of your opportunities...
Mirror Marlena : You don't rise to the command of a starship... or even higher.
[turning it on, they see Spock in his quarters]
Mirror Marlena : That magnificent mind of his. But it can't protect him from this.
[indicating a green button]
Mirror Marlena : I press it and he dies. Now?
[stopping her, he non-verbally orders her to close it]
Mirror Marlena : You really mean it. It doesn't matter. If Spock fails his order, he'll be killed anyway.
Captain James T. Kirk : I'll see to it that the circumstances of his failure will clear him.
Mirror Marlena : You're not even afraid of Starfleet Command. Can your scheme bring you that much power so quickly? And what about me? How does Marlena fit in?
Captain James T. Kirk : [cupping her face] How does Marlena want to fit in?

Mirror Marlena : I heard about Chekov.
Captain James T. Kirk : He gambled, I won.
Mirror Marlena : Mm-mm. You got lucky. I'm surprised that you could be caught off-guard that way.
Captain James T. Kirk : I was... preoccupied.
Mirror Marlena : Ah. You're still in trouble with Starfleet Command. What you've got in mind this time is beyond me. You're scheming, of course. The Halkans have something you want, or... is it all some clever means to advance you to the admiralty? Kirk. The Cabinet itself?
Captain James T. Kirk : Further than that if I'm successful.
Mirror Marlena : Really? Well... you must know what you're doing. You always do. If I'm to be the woman...
[kissing him]
Mirror Marlena : ...of a Caesar, can't I know what you're up to?

Captain James T. Kirk : You saved us back at sickbay with the Tantalus field.
Mirror Marlena : Take me with you.
Captain James T. Kirk : I can't. I'm sorry. Our power is balanced for four. There's no guarantee that we'll make it with five. All could die. Scotty.
Scotty : [at the transporter controls] It's working, sir.
Mirror Marlena : But there are only three of you.
Captain James T. Kirk : One is coming. I'd help if I could, Marlena. Believe that.
[she raises a phaser]
Captain James T. Kirk : If you kill us, you'll still stay.
