Spock:  They are not within the confines of this solar system .
Dr. McCoy: It 's been nearly an hour . Can people live that long as disassembled atoms in a transporter beam ?
Spock: I have never heard of a study being done , but it would be a fascinating project .
Dr. McCoy: Fascinating ? Those people are friends of ours out there , if they 're still alive .
Spock: Precisely .
Dr. McCoy: Well , the odds are not good .
Spock: No , I would say approximately _ 400 _ ...
Dr. McCoy: Do n't quote odds and do n't give me any more dispassionate logic , Mr. Spock , just keep looking for them .
Spock: I would welcome a suggestion , doctor , even an emotional one , as to where to look .
Dr. McCoy: The first time you 've ever asked me for anything and it has to be an occasion like this .
