Contents

[edit] James T. Kirk

  • My name is James Tiberius Kirk.
  • [Referring to Spock] Who was that pointy-eared bastard?
  • [While Bones smuggles him aboard the Enterprise] I don't feel right. I feel like I'm leaking!
  • [Recording his first personal log] Stardate 2258.42...four uh, whatever.
  • [Commanding Enterprise] Bones, buckle up!
  • [After Bones injects him yet again] YEEAGH! Stop it!

[edit] Spock

  • [Kirk is sitting in the captain's chair] Out of the chair.
  • [To Vulcan council] Live long and prosper.
  • [On Kirk's promotion to First Officer] The complexity of human pranks escapes me...
  • [His future self's ship recognizing him] Fascinating.
  • If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

[edit] Spock Prime

  • I have been, and always shall be, your friend.
  • Spock, do yourself a favor: put aside logic, do what feels right.
  • [To Spock] As my customary farewell would seem oddly self serving, I will simply say...good luck.
  • [After Kirk's commendation and assignment of command of the Enterprise] Thrusters on full...
  • [Last lines] Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.

[edit] Leonard "Bones" McCoy

  • Are you out of your Vulcan Mind?
  • [Referring to Spock] Green-blooded hobgoblin...
  • I don't need a doctor, dammit, I AM a doctor!
  • Dammit, man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!
  • I suffer from aviophobia. It means fear of dying in something that flies!
  • A little suffering is good for the soul. (Quoting the TOS Episode: "The Corbomite Maneuver")
  • [First greeting to Kirk] I may throw up on you.
  • [Noticing Kirk's badly swollen hands] Good God, man!

[edit] Montgomery "Scotty" Scott

  • I like this ship! You know, it's exciting!
  • So, the Enterprise has had its maiden voyage, has it? She is one well-endowed lady. I'd like to get my hands on her ample nacelles, if you'll pardon the engineering parlance.
  • I've never beamed 3 people from 2 locations onto 1 pad before! I thought that was pretty good!
  • (After being told that Spock Prime is from the future) Well that's brilliant, do they still have sandwiches there?
  • (In response to Spock's questioning if he works for Starfleet) Yes... can I get a towel, please?
  • I'm giving it all she's got, Captain!

[edit] Christopher Pike

  • Punch it!
  • [To Kirk] Your aptitude tests are off the charts, so what is it? You like being the only genius-level repeat offender in the Midwest?
  • [To Kirk] Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's and yours. I dare you to do better.
  • Careful with the ship, Spock, she's brand new.
  • [Selecting Kirk for a dangerous away mission] Kirk, you too, you're not supposed to be here anyway.
  • [After Kirk becoming the captain of USS Enterprise] I am relieved.

[edit] Nero

  • Hi, Christopher, I'm Nero.
  • I do not speak for the Empire. We stand apart. Along with your Vulcan crewmember, isn't that right, Spock?
  • Launch the red matter...
  • James T. Kirk was considered to be a great man, who went on to captain the USS Enterprise... but that was another life. A life I will deprive you of just like I did your father!
  • [To Ayel] We wait. We wait for the one who allowed our home to be destroyed.
  • [Watching Spock Prime's ship emerge from the black hole] Welcome back, Spock.
  • [Targeting Spock] Fire everything!!
  • SPOOOOOOOOOCK!!
  • [to Kirk] I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in AGONY, than accept assistance from you!

[edit] Sarek

  • You will always be a child of two worlds, I'm grateful for this...and for you.
  • You once asked me why I married your mother. I married her...because I loved her.

[edit] Dialogue

[Aboard the USS Kelvin]
Robau: If I don't report in 15 minutes, evacuate the crew.
Kirk Snr: Sir, we can't just-
Robau: There is no help for us out here. Use the auto-pilot, and get off this ship.
Kirk Snr: Aye, Captain.
Robau: You're Captain now, Mr. Kirk.
Young Spock: You suggest I should become completely Vulcan, and yet you married a human.
Sarek: As ambassador to Earth it is my duty to observe and understand human behaviour. Marrying your mother was....logical.
Kirk: If you don't give me a name, I'm just gonna have to make one up.
Uhura: It's Uhura.
Kirk: Uhura? No way! That's the name I was gonna make up for you!
Kirk: Don't you even wanna know my name before you completely reject me?
Uhura: I'm fine without it.
Kirk: You ARE fine without it. It's Jim, Jim Kirk.
Kirk: Oh, relax, cupcake, it was a joke.
Burly Cadet: Hey - farmboy - maybe you can't count, but there are four of us and one of you.
Kirk: So go get some more guys and then it'll be a fair fight.
Pike: You all right, son?
Kirk: [sprawled on the table] You can whistle really loud, y'know that?
Pike: I couldn't believe it when the bartender told me who you were.
Kirk: Who am I, Captain Pike?
Pike: Your father's son.
McCoy: I may throw up on you.
Kirk: I think these things are pretty safe.
McCoy: Don't pander to me, kid. One tiny crack in the hull and our blood boils in thirteen seconds. Solar flare might crop up, cook us in our seats. And wait till you're sitting pretty with a case of Andorian shingles, see if you're still so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding. Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.
Kirk: Well I hate to break it to you but Starfleet operates in space.
McCoy: Yeah well, I got nowhere else to go. The ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I've got left is my bones.
Kirk: I'm taking the test again.
McCoy: You've gotta be kidding me!
Kirk: Yeah, tomorrow morning. And I want you there.
McCoy: I've got better things to do then to watch you embarrass yourself a third time. Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor!
Kirk: Bones, doesn't it bother you that no one's passed the test?
McCoy: Jim, it's the Kobayashi Maru. Nobody passes the test. And nobody goes back for seconds let alone thirds.
Kirk: [leaving] I gotta go study.
McCoy: Study, my ass.
Uhura: We've received a distress signal from the USS Kobayashi Maru. The ship has lost power and it's stranded. Starfleet command has ordered us to rescue them.
Kirk: Starfleet command has ordered us to rescue them...Captain.[Bones rolls eyes.]
[Kirk is caught cheating on Spock's Kobayashi Maru test]
Kirk: The test itself is a cheat, isn't it? I mean you program it to be unwinnable.
Spock: Your argument precludes the possibility of a no-win scenario.
Kirk: I don't believe in no-win scenarios.
Spock: Then not only did you violate the rules, you also fail to understand the principal lesson.
Kirk: Please, enlighten me.
Spock: You of all people should know, cadet Kirk, a captain cannot cheat death.
Kirk: [reminiscing] I of all people...
Spock: Your father, Lieutenant George Kirk, assumed command of his vessel before being killed in action, did he not?
Kirk: I don't think you like the fact that I beat your test...
Spock: Furthermore you have failed to divine the purpose of the test.
Kirk: Enlighten me again.
Spock: The purpose is to experience fear, fear in the face of certain death, to accept that fear, and maintain control of oneself and one's crew, this is the quality expected in every Starfleet captain.
Kirk: [on Spock] Who was that pointy-eared bastard?
McCoy: I don't know...but I like him.
[McCoy injects a vaccine to Kirk]
McCoy: You're gonna start to lose vision in your left eye.
Kirk: Yeah, I already have.
McCoy: Oh, and you are gonna get a really bad headache and a flop sweat.
Kirk: [in agony] You call this a favor?
McCoy: Yeah, you owe me one.
Sulu: The Fleet's cleared space dock, Captain. All ships ready for warp.
Pike: Set a course for Vulcan.
Sulu: Aye aye, Captain. Course laid in.
Pike: Maximum Warp. Punch it.
[All ships shoot into space, except for the Enterprise which lists helplessly]
[Sulu disengages the warp and puzzles over his console]
Pike: Lieutenant, where's helmsman McKenna?
Sulu: He has lungworm, sir. He couldn't report to his post.[Turns around] I'm Hikaru Sulu.
Pike: And you are a pilot, right?
Sulu: Very much so, sir...[Turns to his console again] I'm uh... I'm not sure what's wrong here...
Pike: [rolling his eyes] Is the... parking brake on?
Sulu: Uh, no. I'll figure it out. I'm just uh...
Spock: Have you disengaged the external inertial dampeners?
[Sulu punches a few buttons, looking like he wants to kick himself]
Sulu: Ready for warp, sir.
Pike: [smiles] Let's punch it.
Chekov: Ensign authorization code nine-five-wictor-wictor-two.
Computer: Authorization not recognized.
Pike: [assigning a landing party] You too, Kirk, you're not even supposed to be here, anyway.
Pike: Spock, I'm leaving you in charge. Once communications are back online, contact Starfleet and let them know what the hell's going on. If all else fails, rendevous with the fleet in the Laurentian system. Kirk, I'm promoting you to First Officer.
Kirk: What?
Spock: Captain, please. The complexity of Human pranks escapes me.
Pike: It's not a prank, Spock. And I'm not the Captain... you are.
Pike: Careful with the ship Spock. She's brand-new.
Spock: [Turning on the intercom] Dr. Puri?
McCoy: It's McCoy. Dr. Puri was on deck 6. He's dead.
Spock: Well, then you have just inherited his responsibilities as Chief Medical Officer.
McCoy: Yeah, tell me something I don't know.
[Kirk and Sulu heading into heavy combat]
Kirk: What kind of combat training you have?
Sulu: Fencing.
Kirk: ....
McCoy: Permission to speak freely, Sir?
Spock: I welcome it.
McCoy: Do you? OK, then. Are you out of your Vulcan mind? Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: "If you wanna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prized stallion in the stable."
Spock: A curious metaphor, doctor, as a stallion must first be broken before it can reach its potential.
McCoy: My God, man, you could at least *act* like it was hard decision...
Spock: I intend to assist in the effort to reestablish communication with Starfleet. However, if crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise. Excuse me.
McCoy:[as Spock leaves] Green-blooded hobgoblin...
Spock Prime: James T. Kirk.
Kirk: Excuse me?
Spock Prime: How did you find me?
Kirk: Whoa...How do you know my name?
Spock Prime: I have been, and always shall be, your friend.
Kirk: Wha...[shakes head] Euh...Look...I-I don't know you.
Spock Prime: I am Spock.
Kirk: ...Bullshit.
[Spock Prime and Kirk found Scotty and Keenser in a derelict Starfleet outpost]
Spock Prime: You are Montgomery Scott.
Kirk: You know him?
Scotty: Ay', that's me, you're in the right place, unless there's another hard-working-equally-starved Starfleet officer around.
Keenser: Me!
Scotty: Get tae...shut up! You don't eat anything! You could eat like a bean, and you're done! I'm talkin about food, real food!
Spock Prime: You are, in fact, the Mr. Scott who postulated the theory of transwarp beaming?
Scotty: That's what I'm talkin' about! How do you think I wound up here? Had a little debate with my instructor on relativistic physics and how it pertains to subspace travel. He seemed to think that the range of transporting something like a...like a grapefruit was limited to about 100 miles. I told him that I could not only beam a grapefruit from one planet to the adjacent planet in the same system, which is easy, by the way, I could do it with a life form. So, I tested it out on Admiral Archer's prized beagle.
Kirk: Wait, I know that dog. What happened to it?
Scotty: [Slightly embarassed] I'll tell you when it reappears... Ahem. I don't know, I do feel guilty about that.
Scotty: I'm so- *scoffs* What? Are you from the future?
Kirk: Yeah, he is. I'm not.
Scotty: Well, that's brilliant! Do they still have sandwiches there?
Kirk:[After being told by Spock Prime he must captain the Enterprise] How, over your dead body?
Spock Prime: Preferably not.
Kirk: You coming back in time and changing history, that's cheating.
Spock Prime: A trick I learned from an old friend. Live Long and prosper
Spock: We are traveling at warp speed. How did you manage to beam aboard this ship?
Kirk: You're the genius. You figure it out.
Spock: As acting captain of this vessel, I order you to answer the question.
Kirk: Well, I'm not telling, Acting Captain. What? Did...[Kirk smiles] What- now that doesn't frustrate you, does it? My lack of cooperation? That doesn't make you angry...
Spock:[turns to Scotty] Are you a member of Starfleet?
Scotty: Um, yes. Can I get a towel please?
Kirk: What is it like not to feel anger? Or heartbreak? Or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the woman who gave birth to you...
Spock: Back away from me...
Kirk: You feel nothing! It must not even compute for you! You never loved her--!
[Spock attacks Kirk in anger]
Scotty: I like this ship! You know, it's exciting!
McCoy: Congratulations, Jim! Now we've got no Captain and no goddamn First Officer to replace him.
Kirk: Yeah, we do.
[Kirk sits in the captain's chair]
McCoy: What?
Sulu: Captain Pike made him First Officer.
McCoy: You gotta be kidding me!
Kirk: Thanks for the support.
Uhura: I sure hope you know what you're doing...Captain.
Kirk: So do I.
[Kirk opens a comm link]
Kirk: Attention, crew of the Enterprise, this is James Kirk. Mr. Spock has resigned commission and advanced me to acting Captain. I know you are all expecting to regroup with the fleet, but I'm ordering a pursuit course of the enemy ship to Earth. I want all departments at battle stations and ready in ten minutes. Either we're going down...or they are. Kirk out.
(A reference to Admiral Hanson's line before the Battle of Wolf 359 from The Best of Both Worlds)
Kirk: [Spock volunteers for what could be a suicide mission] I coming with you.
Spock: I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Kirk: See? We are getting to know each other. [slaps his shoulder]
Kirk: [on Uhura] Her first name is Nyota?
Spock: I have no comment on the matter.
Nero: James T. Kirk was considered to be a great man. He went on to captain the USS Enterprise... but that was another life. A life I will deprive you of just like I did your father!
Ayel: [choking Kirk] You can't even speak...
[Kirk grunts]
Ayel: What?
Kirk: I've got your gun!
[Kirk shoots Ayel]
[Kirk is offering Nero assistance]
Spock: What are you doing?
Kirk: Spock, showing them compassion might go a long way to promoting peace between us and the Romulans. It's logic, I thought you'd like it.
Spock: No not really. Not this time.
Nero: I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in agony, than accept assistance from you!
Kirk: You got it. Arm phasers, fire everything we've got.
Kirk: Kirk to Engineering. Get us out of here Scotty.
Scotty: You bet your ass Captain!
Scotty: We're caught in the gravity well, it's got us!
Kirk: Go to maximum warp! Push it!
Scotty: I'm giving it all she's got, Captain!
Kirk: All she's got isn't good enough! What else have you got?
[Spock notices an elder Vulcan walking in the docking bay]
Spock: Father...
[the elder Vulcan turns and is revealed as Spock Prime]
Spock Prime: I am not our father.
[Young Spock, now recognizing who he is, approaches]
Spock Prime: There are so few Vulcans left. We cannot afford to ignore each other.
Spock: Then why did you send Kirk aboard, when you alone could have explained the truth?
Spock Prime: Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.
Spock: How did you persuade him to keep your secret?
Spock Prime: He inferred that universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise...
Spock: You lied?
Spock Prime: Ah... I - I implied.
Spock: A gamble.
Spock Prime: An act of faith. One I hope that you will repeat in your future in Starfleet.
Spock: In the face of extinction, it is only logical that I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race...
Spock Prime: And, yet, you can be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I have already located a suitable planet in which to establish a Vulcan colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic. Do what feels right.
[Spock Prime turns to leave]
Spock Prime: Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say...
[Shows Vulcan hand salute]
Spock Prime: Good luck.
[After Kirk has assumed official command of the Enterprise]
Spock: Captain? As you have no First Officer I respectfully submit my candidacy. I can provide character references if you wish.
Kirk: Bones... buckle up!
Spock Prime: [final lines] Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone... before.
