C Chekov
[Upon reaching Starbase Yorktown]
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
[sighs]
That's the spirit, Bones.
McCoy
[Uhura walks away and McCoy walks up to Spock]
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
[sighs]
Spock, I am so sorry. I can't imagine what that must feel like.
Spock
[saddened]
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
[stunned]
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
[at Kirk's birthday bash]
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
[to Kirk and Spock as they look at the Enterprise-A under construction]
You really want to head back up there, huh?
Kirk
[as the USS Enterprise-A is constructed]
Space... The final frontier.
Spock
These are the voyages of the Starship...
Scotty
Enterprise. Its continuing mission:
McCoy
To explore strange new worlds.
S Sulu
To seek out new life...
C Chekhov
And new civilizations...
U Uhura
To boldly go where no one has gone before.
