Kirk: And they will be again, that's the beauty of it.
[to the Antique Store Owner]
Kirk: How much?
Antique Store Owner: Well, they'd be worth thêm if the lenses were intact. I'll give bạn one hundred dollars for them.
Kirk: [pause] Is that a lot?
[Kirk and Spock enter a bus headed for the aquarium - only to exit the bus about two giây later]
Spock: [to Kirk] What does it mean, "exact change"?
Punk on bus: [Playing loud âm nhạc on the bus]
Kirk: Excuse me.
Punk on bus: [He ignores him]
Kirk: Excuse me. Would bạn mind stopping that noise?
Punk on bus: [He turns it up louder]
Kirk: [louder and firmer] Excuse me! Would bạn mind stopping that damn noise?
Punk on bus: [He flips him off]
Kirk: [He looks at Spock]
Spock: [He gives the punk the Vulcan neck-pinch, followed bởi the delighted applause of the grateful bus passengers]
Spock: Admiral, may I ask bạn a question?
Kirk: Spock, don't call me "Admiral". bạn used to call me Jim. Don't bạn remember, "Jim"?
Spock: [He gives a blank look]
Kirk: [He gives up] What's your question?
[Spock is still learning how to use profanity correctly]
Spock: They like bạn very much, but they are not the hell "your" whales.
Dr. Gillian Taylor: I suppose they told bạn that.
Spock: The *hell* they did.
Dr. Gillian Taylor: Do bạn guys like Italian?
Kirk: Yes.
Spock: No.
Kirk: Yes.
Spock: No.
Kirk: I tình yêu Italian,
[looks at Spock]
Kirk: And so do you.
Spock: Yes.
Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall we say, thêm colorful metaphors, "double dumbass on you" and so forth.
Kirk: Oh, bạn mean the profanity?
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: Well that's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to bạn unless bạn swear every other word.
Kirk: Spock, where the Hell's the power bạn promised?
Spock: One damn minute, Admiral.
Kirk: If we play our cards right, we may be able to find out when those whales are being released.
Spock: How will playing cards help?
McCoy: I mean, I may have carried your soul, but I sure couldn't fill your shoes.
Spock: My shoes?
McCoy: Forget it.
Dr. Gillian Taylor: Sure bạn won't change your mind?
Spock: Is there something wrong with the one I have?
Kirk: Mr. Spock, have bạn accounted for the variable mass of whales and water in your time re-entry program?
Spock: Mr. Scott cannot give me exact figures, Admiral, so... I will make a guess.
Kirk: A guess? You, Spock? That's extraordinary.
Spock: [to Dr. McCoy] I don't think he understands.
McCoy: No, Spock. He means that he feels safer about your guesses than most other people's facts.
Spock: Then you're saying,
[pause]
Spock: It is a compliment?
McCoy: It is.
Spock: Ah. Then, I will try to make the best guess I can.
Spock: Are bạn sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor?
[Kirk has just spoken very abruptly to Mr. Scott]
Scotty: He's in a wee bit of a snit, isn't he?
Spock: He is a man of deep feelings.
Scotty: Aye, what else is new?
Kirk: You're not exactly catching us at our best.
Spock: That much is certain.
Gillian: You're not from the military are you? Trying to teach whales to retrieve torpedoes hoặc some dipshit stuff like that?
Kirk: No, ma'am. No dipshit.
Gillian: Well, good. That was one thing, I would have dropped bạn off right here.
Spock: Gracie is pregnant.
[Gillian breaks to a sudden stop]
Federation Council president: Captain Spock, bạn do not stand accused.
Spock: Mister President, I stand with my shipmates.
Federation Council president: As bạn wish.
Amanda: Spock, does the good of the many out weigh the good of the one?
Spock: I would accept that as an axiom.
Amanda: Then bạn stand here alive because of a mistake made bởi your flawed, feeling, human friends. They have sacrificed their futures because they believed that the good of the one - bạn - was thêm important to them.
Spock: Humans make illogical decisions.
Amanda: They do, indeed.
Ambassador Sarek: As I recall, I opposed your enlistment in Starfleet. It is possible that judgment was incorrect. Your associates are people of good character.
Spock: They are my friends.
Ambassador Sarek: Do bạn have a message for your mother?
Spock: Yes. Tell her I feel fine.
Spock: To hunt a species to extinction is not logical.
Dr. Gillian Taylor: Whoever đã đưa ý kiến the human race was logical?
Vulcan Computer: What was Kiri-Kin-Tha's first law of metaphysics?
Spock: Nothing unreal exists.
McCoy: Hi. Busy?
Spock: Uhura is busy. I am monitoring.
Kirk: bạn mean the profanity? That's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays attention to bạn unless bạn swear every other word. You'll find it in all the literature of the period.
Spock: For example?
Kirk: Oh the neglected works of Jacqueline Susan. The novels of Harold Robbins...
Spock: Ah, the "Giants".
Spock: Admiral, if we were to assume these whales were ours to do with as we pleased, we would be as guilty as those who caused their extinction.
McCoy: Perhaps, we could cover a little philosophical ground. Life
[pause]
McCoy: Death
[pause]
McCoy: Life.
[pause]
McCoy: Things of that nature.
Spock: I did not have time on Vulcan to review the philosophical disciplines.
McCoy: C'mon, Spock, it's me, McCoy. bạn really have gone where no man's gone before. Can't bạn tell me what it felt like?
Spock: It would be impossible to discuss the subject without a common frame-of-reference.
McCoy: You're joking!
Spock: A joke
[pause]
Spock: is a story with a humorous climax.
McCoy: bạn mean I have to die to discuss your insights on death?
Spock: Forgive me, Doctor. I am receiving a number of distress calls.
McCoy: I don't doubt it.
Dr. Gillian Taylor: Wait a minute. How did bạn know Gracie's pregnant? Nobody knows that.
Spock: Gracie does.
We love you, Lenny.
