This simple feeling, is beyond V'Ger's comprehension.

Spock: On Vulcan I began sensing a consciousness... from a source more powerful than I have ever encountered. Thought patterns of exactingly perfect order. I believe they emanate from the intruder. I believe it may hold my answers.

Spock: V'Ger must evolve. Its knowledge has reached the limits of this universe, and it must evolve. What it requires of its god, Doctor, is the answer to its question -- Is there nothing more?
Leonard McCoy: What more is there than the universe, Spock?
Willard Decker: Other dimensions. Higher levels of being.
Spock: The existence of which cannot be proven logically. Therefore, V'Ger is incapable of believing in them.
James T. Kirk: What V'Ger needs in order to evolve... is a human quality-- our capacity to leap beyond logic.
Willard Decker: And joining with its creator might accomplish that.
Leonard McCoy: You mean this machine wants to physically join with a human? Is that possible?
Willard Decker: Let's find out.

[After Sentinel Prime is revived]
Sentinel Prime: My ship. We came under fire. The pillars. Where are the pillars?
Optimus: You saved five of them, including the control pillar.
Sentinel: Only five? We once had hundreds!
Charlotte: Excuse me, gentlemen. May I ask, what is this technology you’re looking for?
Sentinel: It is the ability to reshape the universe. Together the pillars form a space bridge. I designed, and I alone, can control it. It defies your laws of physics to transport matter through time and space.
Charlotte: You’re talking about a teleportation device, aren't you?
Optimus: Yes, for resources, for refugees.
Charlotte: Refugees, or troops of soldiers, weapons, maybe bombs! A means of an instant strike! That’s its military function, isn’t it?
Sentinel: It is our technology and it must be returned.
Charlotte: Yes. If humans say so. You can’t just bring weapons of mass destruction into our atmosphere! You kind of have to clear customs first! A little formality called paperwork, kind of separates us from the animals.
Sentinel: I will overlook your condescending tone if you heed the gravity of mine. The Decepticons must never know the space bridge is here. For in their hands, it would mean the end of your world.

Sentinel: So majestic and peaceful, this planet. Unlike the final days of Cybertron.
Optimus: I've wondered what might have been if you had fought the final battle, instead of me.
Sentinel: Never mourn the past, young warrior. Thanks to you, our race survives.
Optimus: You were our leader, Sentinel. It is your right to lead us again.
Sentinel: In a world I do not know, I am no longer your teacher, Optimus. You are mine.

[Megatron has just shot Sentinel in the back]
Megatron: Now, we need a truce. All I want is to be back in charge. Besides... who would you be without me, Prime?
Optimus: Time to find out. [Tears off Megatron's head, then turns to Sentinel]
Sentinel Prime: Optimus... All I've ever wanted... was the survival of our race. You must see why I had to betray you. [Optimus picks up Megatron's gun]
Optimus: You didn't betray me. [**** the gun and points it at Sentinel] You betrayed yourself.
Sentinel Prime: [realizing what's about to happen] NO, OPTIMUS! [Optimus shoots Sentinel in the back, flipping him over then shoots him in the head, killing Sentinel. Optimus drops the gun in disgust]

It's like there's some kind of a hallucinatory flu going around. People seem to get over it in a day or two. All I can do is treat the symptoms.

[after being transformed] We came here from a dying world. We drift through the universe, from planet to planet, pushed on by the solar winds. We adapt and we survive. The function of life is survival.

Elizabeth: I hate you.
Dr. Kibner: We don't hate you - there's no need for hate now. Or love.
Elizabeth: There are people who will fight you. Stop you.
Dr. Kibner: In an hour you won't want them to. Don't be trapped by old concepts, Matthew, you're evolving into a new lifeform.
