Stella Mudd
- Dr. McCoy: [referring to large darkened pane on wall] Harry, what's this?
- Harry Mudd: [pressing button by pane to reveal Stella android] Ah. That, gentlemen, is a shrine to the memory of my beloved Stella.
- Capt. Kirk: Who?
- Harry Mudd: Stella, my wife.
- Dr. McCoy: Dead?
- Harry Mudd: Oh, no, no, no, merely deserted. You see, gentlemen, behind every great man there is a woman, urging him on. And so it was with my Stella. She urged me on into outer space. Not that she meant to.
- [with increasing irritation]
- Harry Mudd: But with her continual, eternal, confounded nagging--well, I think of her constantly, and every time I do, I go further out into space.
- Dr. McCoy: That's very interesting. You leave your wife and then bring her along.
- Harry Mudd: I had the androids construct a perfect replica of Stella, so that I could gaze upon her, and rejoice in her absence. Gentlemen, attend. Stella, dear...
- Stella Mudd: [switching on, angrily] Mm, Harcourt? Harcourt Fenton Mudd, what have you been up to? Nothing good, I'm sure. Well let me tell you, you lazy, good-for-nothing...
- Harry Mudd: Shut up!
- Stella Mudd: [switching off] Nothing... thing... thing.
- Harry Mudd: Marvelous, isn't it? I finally have the last word with her...
- [to Kirk]
- Harry Mudd: and with you.
