| Kirk : | "My name is Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the United Federation of Planets. I'm appearing before you as a neutral representative of the Fibonan Republic. I bring you a message of goodwill and present to you, esteemed members of the Teenaxi delegation, a gift from the Fibonan high council, with the highest regards." |
| Teenaxi Delegate : | "What's wrong with it?" |
| Kirk : | "...excuse me?" |
| Teenaxi Delegate : | "Well, why don't they want it anymore?" |
| Kirk : | "Um, well, this was once a piece of an ancient weapon. And now they offer it as a symbol of... of peace. In the Fibonan culture to surrender a weapon is an offer of truce." |
| Teenaxi Delegate : | "How did they come by it?" |
| Kirk : | "They told me they acquired it a long time ago." |
| Teenaxi Delegate : | "So they stole it then!" |
| Kirk : | "No. Ummm..." |
