Quotes6

  • Capt. Kirk: They were humanitarians and statesmen, and they had a dream, a dream that became a reality and spread throughout the stars, a dream that made Mr. Spock and me brothers.
  • Garth: Mr. Spock, do you consider Capt. Kirk and yourself brothers?
  • Mr. Spock: Capt. Kirk speaks somewhat figuratively and with undue emotion; however, what he says is logical, and I do, in fact, agree with it.
  • Garth: [as Marta dances] Marvelous, isn't she, Captain?
  • Capt. Kirk: Yes, uh... incredible.
  • Garth: What is your reaction, Mr. Spock?
  • Mr. Spock: Well, I find it, um... mildly interesting and somewhat nostalgic, if I understand the use of that word.
  • Garth: Nostalgic?
  • Mr. Spock: Yes, it is somewhat reminiscent of the dances that Vulcan children do in nursery school.
  • Garth: Marta, my dear, won't you dance for our guests.
  • Captain James T. Kirk: That's very magnanimous of you.
  • Garth: Well, you'll find that I am magnanimous to friends and merciless to enemies. And, I want you, both of you, to be my friends.
  • Mr. Spock: On what precisely is our friendship to be based?
  • Garth: Well, upon the firmest of foundations, Mr. Spock: enlightened self interest.
  • Garth: [after fumbling around with a high explosive] How are your nerves, Kirk?
  • Captain James T. Kirk: All I can say, Garth: if it happens to me, it happens to you.
  • Captain James T. Kirk: Mr. Spock, erm, letting yourself be hit on the head - and I presume you LET yourself be hit on the head - is not exactly a method King Solomon would have approved.
  • Captain James T. Kirk: [flips open his communicator before Spock can answer] Mr. Scott, ready to beam up.
  • Garth: You do refuse to enter into the spirit of the thing, don't you, Captain? Perhaps you'd like a larger role in the ceremony. You could serve as human sacrifice, for example.
  • Capt. Kirk: No, I wouldn't enjoy that at all.
