Kirk: Yes. Duty is a good teacher. [Softly, yet pointed] I see you've changed your dressmaker. Vanna: [unmoved] Release me! Captain James T. Kirk: [Surprised at first, at her coldness] So you can attack me again? Captain James T. Kirk: That would be foolish... Vanna: [Coolly, coldly] Call the guards... if you're afraid, captain.

I'll make a deal with you. You answer some questions... and I'll let you up. Vanna: [sighs, exasperated] What questions... Captain James T. Kirk: [Intently] Your word, first. Vanna: [Closes eyes. Sighs] I will answer.
	Season 3 / Episode 21: - The Cloud Minders Droxine: Vanna...? Vanna: [coldly] Droxine... Droxine: Why have you come up here? Droxine: [spiteful] To welcome our honored guests... As I was taught to do when I served in your fathers' household. Droxine: Has she injured you, Captain? Captain James T. Kirk: Oh no. Not at all. In fact, I found her visit to be quite enlightening. Droxine: Oh...? Captain James T. Kirk: Yes, it seems the Troglyte's are under the impression that the Enterprise is here only to intimidate them. Droxine: [turns to intercom, pushes button] Send a sentinal to the rest chamber immediately. Vanna: [coldly] It is not impression, Captain. It is the truth! Captain James T. Kirk: We're here to get the Zenite consignment, and that is it.
	Season 3 / Episode 21: - The Cloud Minders Vanna: It's hard to believe that something which is neither seen, nor felt can do so much harm. Captain James T. Kirk: That's true.

I'll see to it that the Federation Engineers construct them. Vanna: Suppose Plasus does not agree? Captain James T. Kirk: Plasus is not the whole government. Vanna: That is true. But the city Counsel will not listen to Troglytes. Captain James T. Kirk: As soon as the Zenite is delivered to Marrick II, I'll come back, I'll request permission to mediate for the Troglytes. Vanna, you must trust me. I give you my word. Vanna: Centuries ago, Stratos was built by leaders that gave their word... that all inhabitants would live there. The Troglytes are still waiting. Captain James T. Kirk: The Zenite can be delivered in a few hours. You don't have long to a wait now. Vanna: Hours can be centuries. Just as words can be lies.
