The Magicks of Megas-Tu

See Also: 'The Magicks of Megas-Tu' Episode Guide

Captain's Log: We've been ordered to the center of the galaxy to find the origins of Creationism, but we're having a devil of a time.

Sulu: The wind's begun to switch.
Arex: The ship to pitch.
Spock: And suddenly reality's starting to unhitch.
Kirk: That's the last time I show The Wizard of Oz on movie night.

Lucien: Hey, guys! I'm a faun!
Kirk: And that's supposed to endeer you to us?
Lucien: Aw, have a hart. Someone told me fauns engender trust.
Kirk: Mr. Tumnus you're not. Who told you that anyway?
Lucien: It was that lyin' witch in the wardrobe department.

Kirk: Where the devil are we?
Lucien: On a magic carpet ride.
Spock: Look! It's Lucy! With diamonds! In the sky!
Kirk: I think you've got the order mixed up, Spock.
Spock: You're one to talk.

Lucien: Okay, exposition time: magic is real. We are responsible for Earth's mythology about magicians.
Kirk: Oh, come on. Merlin? Apollo? Harry Potter? You're telling me those people are real?
Gandalf: A wizard is never late; nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
Kirk: That was the worst cameo ever.
Spock: If what you say is true, Lucien, your name bears a marked resemblence to --
Lucien: Oh, look at the time! Bye now!

Spock: I'm going to draw an inverted pentagram and perform magic with it.
Kirk: I don't think that's going to get past the censors.
Spock: Aw, does that mean I can't do the human sacrifice?
McCoy: Hey, Spock. I got that list of virgins like you requested.
Spock: Sigh. Never mind, Doctor.

Sulu: Hey, look at my awesome magic abilities!
(Poof!)
Girl: Hi. Want a piece of my apple jelly donut?
Sulu: Mmm... Forbidden donut.
Lucien: (replacing girl) Stop that! Do you want to get caught eating forbidden fruit again?
Voice: You have been caught!
Sulu: Ahhh! No, it was the woman!

Asmodeus: We're putting humanity on trial!
Kirk: Oh, that's original. Why this time?
Asmodeus: Didn't Lucien tell you?
Lucien: Heh. I might've left out a few details.
Asmodeus: Of course you did. You were in them.

Asmodeus: Okay. Further exposition time: humans exploited and persecuted us. The Salem witch trials were the last straw.
Kirk: Hey, it's not our fault you all weigh as much as ducks. You should've eaten more.
Asmodeus: Nevertheless, we recreated the trial so we could bring our own charges against you.
Abigail: I saw Jim Kirk with the Devil! I saw Goody Chapel with the Devil! I saw --
Kirk: Please don't accuse the crew, Sibyl.

Spock: In defense of humanity, I call Lucien. Where is he?
Lucien: Here I am.
Spock: Speak of the devil....

Spock: Would you give us your impession of humanity?
Lucien: I'm sorry. I don't do impressions. My training's in magic.
Spock: Of course. What are your thoughts on humanity?
Lucien: They're really gullible, they eat whatever I give them, and they'll sell me their souls for a dime. What's not to like?
Spock: Uh... I think I'll call Captain Kirk as my next witness.

Spock: What's the square root of 841?
Kirk: 29.
Spock: I rest my case.
Asmodeus: You have made a mockery of this court. Therefore, I will make a further mockery of it by fighting Kirk to the death.
Kirk: Fortunately for me, I'm used to fighting supernatural beings.

Asmodeus: Time for the big reveal: your friend Lucien is actually Ardra.
Kirk: Who the devil is that?
Asmodeus: Whoops. I meant to say Lucifer.
Kirk: Oh. Well, I would be surprised except all the jokes up till now have pretty much given it away.

Asmodeus: Since you were willing to die for Satan, we've decided to like you.
Kirk: Did you hear that? It's the sound of a thousand censors choking on your last line.
Lucien: Censors, shmensors. I'll see them in Hell. How about some hard cider?
Kirk: Mmm... that sure is tempting. Sure, why not?

McCoy: So do you think Lucien really was the devil?
Kirk: Like anyone here cares? There's no way this episode is getting past the censors anyway.
Spock: Actually, since NBC has committed to showing these episodes, there'll be the devil to pay if they don't.
Kirk: Whatever. I just hope that the next time we come to the center of the galaxy, we don't run into any more devils.
