  Episode Notes  
This was one of DeForest Kelley's favourite episodes of the series.
 
  Episode Quotes  
McCoy: We can't keep referring to her as "she," as if she weren't here.
Kirk: You have any ideas?
McCoy: I don't know about you, but I'm going to call her Gem.
Spock: Gem, Doctor?
McCoy: Well, that's better than, "Hey, you."
 
Kirk: Why? What is it you hope to prove? If my death is to have any meaning, at least tell me what I'm dying for.
Thann: If you live, you will have your answer.
 
(talking about McCoy)
Kirk: Why did you let him do it?
Spock: I was convinced in the same way you were, by the good doctor's hypo.
 
McCoy: Well, personally, I find it fascinating that with all their scientific knowledge and advances, that it was good old-fashioned human emotion that they valued the most.
Scott: Perhaps the Vulcans should hear about this.
Kirk: Mr. Spock, can you be prevailed upon to bring them the news?
Spock: Possibly, Captain. I shall certainly give the thought all the consideration it is due..
