Kirk : | "My name is Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the United Federation of Planets. I'm appearing before you as a neutral representative of the Fibonan Republic. I bring you a message of goodwill and present to you, esteemed members of the Teenaxi delegation, a gift from the Fibonan high council, with the highest regards." |
Teenaxi Delegate : | "What's wrong with it?" |
Kirk : | "...excuse me?" |
Teenaxi Delegate : | "Well, why don't they want it anymore?" |
Kirk : | "Um, well, this was once a piece of an ancient weapon. And now they offer it as a symbol of... of peace. In the Fibonan culture to surrender a weapon is an offer of truce." |
Teenaxi Delegate : | "How did they come by it?" |
Kirk : | "They told me they acquired it a long time ago." |
Teenaxi Delegate : | "So they stole it then!" |
Kirk : | "No. Ummm..." |
|
Kirk : | "My dad joined Starfleet because he believed in it. I joined on a dare." |
McCoy : | "You joined to see if you could live up to him. You've spent all this time trying to be your dad. Now you're wondering... what it means to be you." |
|
Commodore Paris : | "It isn't uncommon, you know. It's easy to get lost, in the vastness of space. There's only yourself, your ship, your crew." | | to Kirk |
|
Spock : | "Ambassador Spock has died." |
McCoy : | "Oh Spock, I'm sorry. I can't imagine what that must feel like." |
Spock : | "When you have lived as many lives as he, fear of death is illogical." |
|
McCoy : | "Is that classical music?" |
Spock : | "I believe so." |

|
Uhura : | "Our Captain will come for us. And mercy will be the last thing on his mind." |
Krall : | "I am counting on it!" |
|
Spock : | "Fear of death is illogical." |
McCoy : | "Fear of death is what keeps us alive." |
|
Kirk : | "How are we gonna get out of this one, Spock. We got no ship, no crew. Not the best odds." |
Spock : | "We will do what we always done Jim, we will find hope in the impossible." |
|
Spock : | "The miserable have no other medicine but only hope." | | to McCoy; quoting Shakespeare. |
|
Spock : | "Lieutenant Uhura wears a Vulcaya amulet which I presented to her as a token of my affection and respect." |
McCoy : | "You gave your girlfriend radioactive jewellery?" |
Spock : | "The emission is harmless Doctor, but its unique signature makes it very easy to identify." |
McCoy : | "You gave your girlfriend a tracking device?" |
| Long pause |
Spock : | "...that was not my intention." |
McCoy : | "Well I'm glad he doesn't respect me!" |
|
Jaylah : | "You cannot go to this place. Everyone who goes there, he kills." | | to Kirk; on Krall. |
|
Scotty : | "My wee Granny used to say, ye canna' break a stick in a bundle. You're part of something bigger now, lass. Don't you give up on that, because we'll sure as hell never give up on you. That is what being part of a crew is all about." | | to Jaylah |
|
Krall : | "The world that I was born into was very different from yours, Lieutenant. We knew pain, we knew terror. Struggle made us strong - not peace, not unity. These are myths the Federation would have you believe." | | to Uhura |
|
Krall : | "The Federation has pushed the frontier for centuries, but no longer. This is where it begins, Lieutenant. This is where the frontier pushes back." | | to Uhura |
|
| Spock stumbles on a pair of Krall's drones, only for Uhura to beat them up and save him |
Uhura : | "Spock! What are you doing here?" |
Spock : | "Clearly, I am here to rescue you." |
|
Jaylah : | "You take my house. And you make it fly!" | | to Kirk; on the USS Franklin. |
|
Kirk : | "Mister Sulu... you can, you know, fly this thing. Right?" |
Sulu : | "Are you kidding me, sir?" |
| on the USS Franklin |
|
Kirk : | "We change. We have to, or we spend the rest of our lives fighting the same battles." | | to Krall |
|
Krall : | "I read your ship's log, Captain James T Kirk. At least I know what I am! I am a soldier!" |
Kirk : | "You won the war, Edison! You gave us peace." |
Krall : | "Peace... is not what I was born into." |
|
Kirk : | "Better to die saving lives than live with taking them. That's what I was born into." | | to Krall |
|
Commodore Paris : | "For decades, the Federation thought that he was a hero. I guess time will judge us all." | | to Kirk |
|
Paris : | "You saved this entire base, Kirk. Millions of souls. Thank you." |
Kirk : | "It wasn't just me. It never is." |
|
Kirk : | "Vice Admirals don't fly, do they?" |
Commodore Paris : | "No. They don't." |
Kirk : | "No offence Ma'am, but... where's the fun in that?" |
