[Captain Pike just had an awkward encounter with Yeoman Colt]
Number One : She's replacing your former yeoman, sir.
Captain Christopher Pike : No, she does a good job, all right; it's just that I... can't get used to having a woman on the bridge.
[Number One gives him a look]
Captain Christopher Pike : No offense, Lieutenant, you're... different, of course.
-
[the crew are trying to blast open the Talosian gate with a laser cannon, yet to no avail]
Number One : The top of that knoll should've been sheared off the first second.
Dr. Boyce : Maybe it was. It's what I tried to explain in the briefing room. Their power of illusion is so great, we can't be sure of anything we do, anything we see.

[last lines]
Yeoman J.M. Colt : [to Pike] S-sir? I was wondering. Just curious. Who would've been Eve?
Number One : Yeoman! You've delivered your report.
Yeoman J.M. Colt : Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir.
Lieutenant Jose Tyler : [to Pike] Eve, sir?... Yes, sir.
Dr. Boyce : "Eve" as in "Adam"?
Captain Christopher Pike : As in all ship's doctors are dirty old men. What are we running here, a cadet ship, Number One? Are we ready or not?
Number One : All decks show ready, sir.
Captain Christopher Pike : Engage!

[Number One and Colt have "joined" Pike and Vina in the cage]
Vina : [to Colt] He doesn't need you. He's already picked me.
Yeoman J.M. Colt : Picked her? For what? I don't understand.
Vina : [sarcastic] Now, there is a fine choice for intelligent offspring!
Yeoman J.M. Colt : Offspring? As in children?
Number One : Offspring as in, he's Adam. Is that it?
Vina : [to Number One] You're no better choice. They'd have more luck crossing him with a computer.

[a rescue team led by Number One is making adjustments to a large and formidable laser cannon that is aimed at the doorway in the rock ledge that leads to the Talosian hideaway]
Number One : [Over communicator to ship] All circuits engaged, Mr. Spock.
Mr. Spock : [From ship] Standing by, Number One.
Number One : Take cover.
[the powering up of the cannon begins as crew members quickly take shelter behind rock outcroppings]
Mr. Spock : Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
[a blue beam from the cannon strikes the doorway in a blinding and deafening blast that gradually builds in intensity. The beam strips off the stone facing of the doors, revealing dull metal underneath]
Number One : [shouting above the noise into her communicator] INCREASE TO FULL POWER!
[the blasting reaches a crescendo. At maximum power, the energy beam only causes the doors to glow red, but does not penetrate them]
Number One : [shouting above the noise into communicator] CAN YOU GIVE US ANY MORE?
Mr. Spock : Our circuits are beginning to heat. We'll have to cease power!
Number One : [Looking up at sky] DISENGAGE!
[the cannon ceases fire and the undamaged Talosian doors rapidly cool off]
Number One : The top of that knoll should have been sheared off the first second.
Dr. Boyce : Maybe it was. It's what I tried to explain in the briefing room. Their power of illusion is so great, we can't sure of anything we do, anything we see.
[Number One looks over at the knoll reflectively and briefly shakes her head]

Vina : He doesn't need you. He's already picked me.
Yeoman J.M. Colt : Picked her? For what? I don't understand.
Vina : [Dripping with a mixture of indignation and sarcasm] Now there's a fine choice for intelligent offspring!
Yeoman J.M. Colt : [Puzzled] Offspring, as in children?
Number One : Offspring, as in... he's 'Adam'. Is that it?
Vina : [Sarcastic] You're no better choice. They'd have more luck... crossing him with a COMPUTER.
Number One : [Unfazed and analytical] Well, shall we do a little time computation? There was a Vina listed on that expedition as an adult crewman. Now adding eighteen years to your age then...
[Number One is interrupted by the entrance of the Talosian Keeper]

Number One : Any estimate what they might want one of us for?
Mr. Spock : They may simply be studying the captain to find out how Earth people are put together. Or it could be something more.
-
Mr. Spock : The inhabitants of this planet must live deep underground. Probably manufacture food and other needs down there. Now, our tests indicate the planet's surface, without considerably more vegetation or some animals, is simply too barren to support life.
Number One : So we just thought we saw survivors there, Mr. Spock.
Mr. Spock : Exactly. An illusion, placed in our minds by this planet's inhabitants.
Dr. Boyce : It was a perfect illusion. They had us seeing just what we wanted to see, human beings who'd survived with dignity and bravery, everything entirely logical right down to the building of the camp, the tattered clothing, everything.
-
Number One : Landing party, come in.
Mr. Spock : There is no survivors' encampment, Number One. This is all some sort of trap. We've lost the captain. Do you read?
-
C.P.O. Garrison : We're passing through an old-style distress signal.
Captain Christopher Pike : They were keyed to cause interference and attract attention this way.
C.P.O. Garrison : A ship in trouble making a forced landing, sir. That's it. No other message.
Lieutenant Jose Tyler : I have a fix. It comes from the Talos star group.
Number One : We've no ships or Earth colonies that far out.
Mr. Spock : Their call letters check with a survey expedition; S.S. Columbia. Disappeared in that region approximately 18 years ago.
Lieutenant Jose Tyler : It would take that long for a radio beam to travel from there to here.
Mr. Spock : Records show the Talos group has never been explored. Solar system similar to Earth. Eleven planets. Number four seems to be Class-M; oxygen atmosphere.
Number One : Then they could still be alive, even after 18 years.
Captain Christopher Pike : If they survived the crash.
Mr. Spock : We aren't going to go to be certain?
Captain Christopher Pike : Not without any indication of survivors, no. We'll continue on the Vega colony and take care of our own sick and injured first.
-
Captain Christopher Pike : [forcing the Keeper to lead them out of their captivity] Make contact, Number One.
Number One : They kept us from seeing this, too. We cut through and never knew it.
[showing him her malfunctioning communicator]
Number One : Captain!
The Keeper : As you see, your attempt to escape accomplished nothing.
-
Number One : We're hoping to transport down inside the Talosian community.
Mr. Spock : If our measurements and readings are an illusion also, one could find oneself materialized inside solid rock.
Number One : Nothing will be said if any volunteer wants to back out.
-
Number One : It's wrong to create a whole race of humans to live as slaves.
-
Yeoman J.M. Colt : What's happened to Vina?
Number One : Isn't she coming with us?
Captain Christopher Pike : No. No, and I agreed with her reasons.
