Bones: It's a miracle these people ever got out of the 20th century.
Federation President: Save your energy....Save yourselves. Avoid the planet Earth at all costs. Farewell. (Signal fades out)
Bones: Are you sure this is such a bright idea?
Kirk: What do you mean?
Bones: I mean him. (Motions toward Spock) Back at his post like nothing happened. I don't know if you've got the whole picture or not, but he's not exactly working on all thrusters.
Bones: You, ah, you present the appearance of a man with a problem.
Spock: Your perception is correct, Doctor. In order to return us to the exact moment we left the 23rd century, I have used our journey back through time as a reference. Calculating the co-efficient of elapsed time in relation to the acceleration curve.
Bones: Naturally. So what's your problem?
Spock: Accleration is no longer a constant.
Bones: Well then, you're just gonna have to take your best shot.
Spock: Best shot?
Bones: Yes, Spock, your best guess.
Spock: Guessing is not in my nature, Doctor.
Bones: Well....Nobody's perfect.
Bones: Busy?
Spock: Uhura is busy....I am monitoring.
Kirk: There she is...from the Institute. We play our cards right we may be able to find out when those whales are leaving.
Spock: How will playing cards help?
Dr. Gillian Taylor: Sure you won't change your mind?
Spock: Is there something wrong with the one I have?
Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall we say, more colorful metaphors, "double dumb-ass on you" and so forth.
Kirk: You mean the profanity?
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: Well that's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word. You'll find it in all the literature of the period.
