Spock
- James T. Kirk: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
- Spock: An Arabic proverb attributed to a prince who was betrayed and decapitated by his own subjects.
- James T. Kirk: Well, still, it's a hell of a quote.
- Christopher Pike: That's a technicality.
- Spock: I am Vulcan, sir. We embrace technicality.
- Christopher Pike: Are you giving me attitude, Spock?
- Spock: I am expressing multiple attitudes simultaneously. To which are you referring?
- Nyota Uhura: At that volcano, you didn't give a thought to us. What it would do to me if you died, Spock. You didn't feel anything. You didn't care. And I'm not the only one who's upset with you. The Captain is, too.
- James T. Kirk: No, no, no. Don't drag me into this. She is right.
- Spock: Your suggestion that I do not care about dying is incorrect. A sentient being's optimal chance at maximizing their utility is a long and prosperous life.
- Nyota Uhura: Great.
- James T. Kirk: Not exactly a love song, Spock.
- Spock: You misunderstand. It is true I chose not to feel anything upon realizing my own life was ending. As Admiral Pike was dying, I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. Anger. Confusion. Loneliness. Fear. I had experiences those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. Such a feeling is something I choose never to experience again. Nyota, you mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring. Well, I assure you, the truth is precisely the opposite.
- James T. Kirk: I'm scared, Spock... help me not to be... how do you choose not to feel?
- Spock: I do not know. Right now, I am failing.
- James T. Kirk: I wanted you to know why I couldn't let you die... why I went back for you...
- Spock: Because you are my friend.
- Spock: Mr. Spock.
- Spock Prime: Mr. Spock.
- Spock: I will be brief. In your travels, did you ever encounter a man named Khan?
- Spock Prime: As you know, I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. Your path is yours to walk, and yours alone. That being said, Khan Noonien Singh is the most dangerous adversary the Enterprise ever faced. He is brilliant, ruthless and he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you.
- Spock: Did you defeat him?
- Spock Prime: At great cost, yes.
- Spock: Carol Marcus, your new science officer, concealed her identity to board this ship.
- James T. Kirk: When were you going to tell me that?
- Spock: When it became relevent, as it just did.
- James T. Kirk: [Kirk's HUD breaks midway through his space-jump] Spock my display is down, I'm flying blind.
- Spock: Captain, without your display compass hitting your target destination is mathematically impossible.
- James T. Kirk: Spock, if I get back, we really need to talk about your bedside manner.
- Khan: I'm going to make this very simple for you.
- Spock: Captain!
- Khan: Your crew for my crew.
- Spock: You betrayed us.
- Khan: Oh, you are smart, Mr. Spock.
- James T. Kirk: Spock, don't...
- [Khan knocks him down]
- Khan: Mr. Spock, give me my crew.
- Spock: What will you do when you get them?
- Khan: Continue the work we were doing before we were banished.
- Spock: Which as I understand it involves the mass-genocide of any being you find to be less than superior.
- Khan: Shall I destroy you, Mr. Spock? Or will you give me what I want?
- Spock: We have no transporter capabilities.
- Khan: Fortunately, mine are perfectly functioning. Drop your shields.
- Spock: If I do so I have no guarantee that you will not destroy the Enterprise.
- Khan: Well, let's play this out logically then, Mr. Spock. Firstly, I will kill your captain to demonstrate my resolve, then if yours holds I will have no choice but to kill you and your entire crew.
- Spock: If you destroy our ship, you will also destroy your own people.
- Khan: Your crew requires oxygen to survive, mine does not. I will target your life support systems located behind the aft nacelle. And after every single person aboard your ship suffocates, I will walk over your cold corpses to recover my people. Now, shall we begin?
- Spock: ...Lower shields.
- Khan: A wise choice, Mr. Spock. I see all 72 torpedoes are still in their tubes. If they're not mine, Commander, I will know it.
- Spock: Vulcans do not lie. The torpedoes are yours.
- Khan: Thank you, Mr. Spock.
- Spock: I have fulfilled your terms. Now fulfill mine.
- Khan: Well Kirk, it seems apt to return you to your crew. After all, no ship should go down without her captain.
- [from trailer]
- [the Enterprise crew steer a ship towards a closing portal]
- Spock: Captain, this ship will not fit.
- James T. Kirk: IT WILL FIT, WILL FIT, WILL FIT!
- [the ship scraps through the closing portal]
- James T. Kirk: See, I told you it would fit!
- Spock: I am not sure that qualifies.
- Spock: I will go with you, Captain.
- James T. Kirk: No, I need you on the bridge.
- Spock: I can not allow you to do this. It is my function aboard the ship to advise you in making the wisest decisions possible, something I firmly believe you are incapable of doing in this moment.
- James T. Kirk: You're right! What I am about to do, it doesn't make sense, it's not logical, it is a gut feeling! I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I only know what I can do. The Enterprise and her crew needs someone on that chair who knows what he's doing. That's not me. It's you, Spock.
- James T. Kirk: Why would a Starfleet admiral ask a 300-year-old frozen man for help?
- Khan: Because I am better.
- James T. Kirk: At what?
- Khan: Everything. Alexander Marcus needed to respond to an uncivilized threat in a civilized time, and for that, he needed a warrior's mind - my mind - to design weapons and warships.
- Spock: You are suggesting the Admiral violated every regulation he vowed to uphold, simply because he wanted to exploit your intellect...
- Khan: He wanted to exploit my savagery! Intellect alone is useless in a fight, Mr. Spock. You, you can't even break a rule - how can you be expected to break bone? Marcus used me to design weapons. I helped him realize his vision of a militarized Starfleet. He sent you to use those weapons, to fire my torpedoes on an unsuspecting planet, and then he purposely crippled your ship in enemy space, leading to one inevitable outcome: the Klingons would come searching for whoever was responsible, and you would have no chance of escape. Marcus would finally have the war he talked about, the war he always wanted.
- Spock: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
- James T. Kirk: Spock, we're talking about your life!
- James T. Kirk: You filed a report? Why didn't you tell me?
- Spock: I incorrectly assumed that you would be truthful in your captain's log.
- James T. Kirk: Yeah, I would have been if I didn't have to save your life.
- Spock: A fact for which I am grateful immeasurably grateful and the very reason to take responsibility for the actions...
- James T. Kirk: Take responsibility, yeah. That'd be so noble, pointy, if you were also throwing me under the bus.
- Spock: "Pointy"? Is that a derogatory reference to me?
- [last lines]
- James T. Kirk: Where should we go?
- Spock: As a mission of this duration has never been attempted, I defer to your good judgment Captain.
- James T. Kirk: Mr. Sulu, take us out!
- Sulu: Aye, Captain.
- [from trailer]
- Spock: [stuck in a volcano] We must maintain the Prime Directive...
- James T. Kirk: Nobody knows the rules better than you, Spock! But sometimes exceptions have to be made!
- Scotty: No! I'm not signing anything! Now get these bloody things off my ship!
- [sees Kirk]
- Scotty: Captain!
- James T. Kirk: Is there a problem, Mr. Scott?
- Scotty: Aye, sir! I was just explaining to this gentlemen that I cannae authorize any weapons on board this ship without knowing what's inside them!
- Spock: Mr. Scott raises yet another point that le...
- James T. Kirk: Report to the bridge.
- Spock: Captain.
- [leaves the engineering room]
- James T. Kirk: Mr. Scott, I understand your concerns but we need these torpedoes on board!
- Scotty: Due respect, sir, but photo torpedoes run on fuel, now I cannae detect the type of fuel that's in the compartments on these torpedoes because it's shielded. Now I asked for the specifications but he says...
- [gestures to Torpedo Security]
- Torpedo Security: It's classified.
- Scotty: [repeating exasperatedly] It's classified. So I said; no specs, no signature!
- Sulu: [from deck above] Captain, flight checks complete, we're good to go, sir.
- James T. Kirk: Thank you, Mr. Sulu.
- Sulu: Yes, sir.
- Scotty: Now if you'll excuse me, sir, I have a warp core to prime.
- [walks away]
- Scotty: [to Keenser] Get down!
- Bones: Jim, your vitals are way off...
- James T. Kirk: Report to the medbay.
- [follows Scotty to the warp core]
- James T. Kirk: Scotty! I need you to approve those weapons.
