Kirk
I'm one year older.
McCoy
Yep, that's usually how it works.
Kirk
A year older than he ever got to be. He joined Starfleet 'cause he... 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 George Kirk and now you're wondering just what it means to be Jim, why you're out here. [toasts Kirk] To perfect eyesight and a full head of hair.
Wow, that is impressive.
Scotty
Aye, she's a beauty, isn't she?
McCoy
What a damn monstrosity! Couldn't we just rent some space on a planet?
Spock
Showing geographical favoritism among inducted Federation worlds could cause diplomatic tension.
McCoy
Oh, you don't think that looks tense? Looks like a damn snowglobe in space, just waitin' to break!
Kirk
That's the spirit, Bones.
McCoy
You guys break up? What'd you do?
Spock
A typically reductive inquiry, Doctor.
McCoy
You know Spock, when an Earth-girl says "it's me not you", it's definitely you. [walks away]
Spock
You asked me why Lieutenant Uhura and I parted ways. I became concerned, in the light of Vulcan's demise, that I owed a debt of duty to my species.
McCoy
You though you should be off making little Vulcans, huh? Yeah, I can see how that'd upset her.
Spock
I intended to discuss it with her further, but then I received some news which affected me unexpectedly.
McCoy
What news?
Spock
Ambassador Spock has died.
McCoy
Spock, I am so sorry. I can't imagine what that must feel like.
Spock
When you've lived as many lives as he had, fear of death is illogical.
McCoy
The fear of death is what keeps us alive.
Spock
I want to live as he did. That is why I have decided to redirect his efforts and continue his work on New Vulcan.
McCoy
You're leaving Starfleet? Well, what did Jim have to say about that?
Spock
I could not find the time to tell him.
McCoy
Well, I can tell you, he's not gonna like that. Hell, I don't know what he'd do without you. Me- Y'know, me, on the other hand, I'd- I'd throw a party. [sees Spock laughing; concerned] My god, you're getting delirious.
Kirk
I heard about Ambassador Spock. Is that what you wanted to mention that time in the turbolift?
Spock
More or less. I trust your meeting with Commodore Paris went well.
Kirk
More or less.
McCoy
You really want to head back up there, huh?
Kirk
Space... The final frontier.
Spock
These are the voyages of the Starship...
Scotty
Enterprise. Its continuing mission:
McCoy
To explore strange new worlds.
To seek out new life...
And new civilizations...
To boldly go where no one has gone before.
