(Spock is stoking the boiler when Edith comes in to confront them.)
EDITH: That toolbox was locked with a combination lock and you opened it like a real pro. Why did you do it?
SPOCK: I needed the fine tools for my radio work. They'd have been returned in the morning.
EDITH: I'm sorry, I can't
KIRK: If Mister Spock says that he needs the tools and that they'll be returned tomorrow morning, you can bet your reputation on that, Miss Keeler.
EDITH: On one condition. Walk me home? I still have a few questions I'd like to ask about you two. Oh, and don't give me that questions about little old us? look. You know as well as I do how out of place you two are around here.
SPOCK: Interesting. Where would you estimate we belong, Miss Keeler?
EDITH: You? At his side, as if you've always been there and always will. And you? You belong in another place. I don't know where or how. I'll figure it out eventually.
SPOCK: I'll finish with the furnace.
EDITH: Captain. Even when he doesn't say it, he does.

Black World War Ii Airman To Receive Fourth Star At 85
By Sonya Ross
AP
THE COMMANDER of the Tuskegee Airmen, who never lost a bomber, is being honored by President Clinton in a White House ceremony.
WASHINGTON - There are three stars on the heavily decorated Air Force uniform of Lt. Gen. Benjamin Davis Jr., commander of the famed Tuskegee Airmen who never lost a single bomber to enemy fire during 200 escort missions they performed during World War II.
Today, Davis was getting a fourth star 28 years after he retired and 100 years after his father - America's first black brigadier general

[Canteen]
(Kirk and Spock collect their bowls of soup and pieces of bread, and sit at one of the long tables.)
EDITH: Good evening.
(She steps up onto a small stage with a piano.)
MAN: You'll be sorry.
KIRK: Why?
MAN: You expect to eat for free or something? You got to listen to Goody Two-shoes.
EDITH: Now, as I'm sure somebody out there has said, it's time to pay for the soup.
MAN: Not that she's a bad-looking broad, but if she really wanted to help out a fella in need
KIRK: Shut up. Shut up. I want to hear what she has to say.
SPOCK: Yes, of course, Captain.
EDITH: Now, let's start by getting one thing straight. I'm not a do-gooder. If you're a bum, if you can't break off of the booze or whatever it is that makes you a bad risk, then get out. Now I don't pretend to tell you how to find happiness and love when every day is just a struggle to survive, but I do insist that you do survive because the days and the years ahead are worth living for. One day soon man is going to be able to harness incredible energies, maybe even the atom. Energies that could ultimately hurl us to other worlds in some sort of spaceship. And the men that reach out into space will be able to find ways to feed the hungry millions of the world and to cure their diseases. They will be able to find a way to give each man hope and a common future, and those are the days worth living for. Our deserts will bloom. (She continues under the dialogue.)
KIRK: Development of atomic power is years away, and space flight years after that.
SPOCK: Speculation. Gifted insight.
KIRK: I find her most uncommon, Mister Spock.
EDITH: Prepare for tomorrow. Get ready. Don't give up.

AP: Clinton’s State Department calendar omits meetings with donors, corporate leaders
POSTED AT 3:21 PM ON JUNE 24, 2016 BY JOHN SEXTON
The Associated Press undertook the thankless task of comparing Hillary Clinton’s calendar, an official record of her time as Secretary of State, with her planning schedules. It took the AP more than two years to get the State Department to turn over all the materials in question. They first requested them back in August 2013. Last March, the AP sued and the department finally agreed to turn over the documents.
What the AP found was “scores” of instances where Clinton’s meetings with political cronies and former campaign bundlers were left out of her calendar

EDITH: Mister Kirk. You are uncommon workmen. That basement looks like it's been scrubbed and polished.
KIRK: Then we can report back for other work?
EDITH: Yes. Seven o'clock in the morning. Do you have a flop for the night?
KIRK: A what?
EDITH: You really are new at this, aren't you? A flop is a place to sleep.
KIRK: Oh.
EDITH: There's a vacant room at the place where I live for two dollars a week. If you want to I'll take you there.
KIRK: Thank you.
EDITH: Good.
(She goes to get her coat.)
KIRK: We have a flop.
SPOCK: We have a what, Captain?
