Most scenes together: James T. Kirk & Spock (6), James T. Kirk & Montgomery Scott (5), James T. Kirk & Leonard McCoy (4)
Admiral, we have found the nuclear wessel.
Well done, team two.
And, Admiral... it is the Enterprise.
We will beam in tonight, collect the photons, and beam out. No one will ever know we were there.
Understood and approved. Keep me informed. Kirk out.
Cloaking device now available on all flight modes.
I'm impressed; that's a lot of work for a short voyage.
We are in enemy wessel, sir. I do not wish to be shot down on the way to our own funeral.
Good thinking. Engine room. Report, Mr. Scott.
We're ready, sir. I've converted the dilithium sequencer into something a little less primitive. And, Admiral, I have replaced the Klingon food packs. They were giving me a sour stomach.
Saavik Sir... I have not had the opportunity to tell you about your son. David died most bravely. He saved Spock. He saved us all. I thought you should know.
As I recall, I opposed your enlistment in Starfleet. It is possible that judgement was incorrect. Your associates are people of good character.
They are my friends.
Yes, of course. Do you have a message for your mother?
Yes. Tell her... I feel fine.
Klingon justice is a unique point of view, Mr. President. Genesis was perfectly named-- the creation of life, not death. The Klingons shed the first blood while attempting to possess its secrets.
Klingon Ambassador Vulcans are well-known as the intellectual puppets of this Federation.
Your vessel did destroy U.S.S. Grissom. Your men did kill Kirk's son. Do you deny these events?
Klingon Ambassador We deny nothing. We have the right to preserve our race.
You have the right to commit murder?
Admiral, may I ask you a question?
Spock, don't call me Admiral. You used to call me Jim. Don't you remember "Jim"? What's your question?
Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall I say, more colorful metaphors-- "Double dumb-ass on you" and so forth.
You mean the profanity?
Yes.
That's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word. You'll find it in all the literature of the period.
For example?
Ah... The giants.
Excuse me. Weren't those a birthday present from Dr. McCoy?
And they will be again. That's the beauty of it. [to the Antique store owner] How much?
Well, they'd be worth more if the lenses were intact. I'll give you one hundred dollars.
Is that a lot?
Father.
I am returning to Vulcan within the hour, I would like to take my leave of you.
It was most kind of you to make this effort.
It was no effort. You are my son. Besides, I'm most impressed with your performance during this crisis.
Most kind.
As I recall, I opposed your enlistment in Starfleet... It is possible that judgment was incorrect. Your associates are people of good character.
They are my friends.
Yes, of course. Do you have a message for your mother?
Yes, tell her...I feel fine. Live long and prosper, Father.
Live long and prosper, my son.
Guessing is not in my nature, doctor.
Well... nobody's perfect.
They like you very much, but they're not the hell your whales.
I suppose they told you that?
The hell they did.
Right.
To hunt a species to extinction is not logical.
Who ever said the human race was logical?
Why don't you watch where you're going, you dumb-ass!
Well, a double dumb-ass on you!
Well, if it isn't Robin Hood and Friar Tuck. Where're you fellahs heading?
Back to San Francisco.
Came all the way down here to jump in and swim with the kiddies, huh?
There's really very little point in my trying to explain.
I buy that. What about him?
He's harmless. Back in the sixties he was part of the Free Speech movement at Berkeley. I think he did too much LDS.
