Quotes 

• Col. Green : [walking up to Capt. Kirk]  Captain Kirk, may I speak with you? I quite agree with your attitude towards this charade. It's ridiculous to think that we should take part in it.

  Captain James T. Kirk : What do you want?

  Col. Green : Why the same thing as you do- to get out of here. I have no quarrel with you anymore than you have with me.

  Captain James T. Kirk : You're somewhat different than the way history paints you, Colonel Green.

  Col. Green : History tends to exaggerate. I suggest we call a halt to this at once, and see if we can't find some way out of our difficulties. My associates are in full agreement with me. Captain... you were tricked into coming here, weren't you? So were we all.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Where do you come from?

  Col. Green : I can't remember. Isn't that strange? My memory used to be quite remarkable. Well, wherever it was, I want to get back. So it seems to me, Captain, that we have a common cause, and our enemy is that creature.

  Captain James T. Kirk : What do you propose?

  Col. Green : That we combine forces and reason someway to overcome it.

  Captain James T. Kirk : You were notorious, Col. Green, for striking at your enemies in the midst of negotiating with them.

  Col. Green : But that was centuries ago, Captain, and not altogether true. No, there is much I would change now if I could. Don't let prejudice and rumor sway you.
