...Kirk (mounting his bluff to the First Federation ship that says it will destroy them): "It may interest you to know that since the initial use of corbomite more than two of our centuries ago, no attacking vessel has survived the attempt. Death has little meaning to us. If it has none to you . . . then attack us now. We grow annoyed at your foolishness."...
You chose the best of the best with this one - Shatner gets everything plus from an already great speech. While, as noted in earlier posts, Shatner has limitations as an actor, he owns Kirk and Kirk is the master of the bluff, he uses it often and incredibly effectively.
Now, darn you, I'm going to have to find time to watch that episode.
