MCCOY: Captain, are you beaming down?

[Kirk's quarters]

KIRK: I hadn't planned to, Bones. Why?

[Glade]

KIRK: A crewman's right ends where the safety of the ship begins. That man will go a shore on my orders. What's his name?

SPOCK: James Kirk. Enjoy yourself, Captain. It's an interesting planet. You'll find it quite pleasant.
