Spock
[after Kirk falls off El Capitan]
Perhaps "because it is there" is not sufficient reason for climbing a mountain.
I am hardly in a position to disagree. [sees McCoy running toward him] Hi, Bones! Mind if we drop in for dinner?

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life-- Spock, why didn't you jump in?
Spock
I was trying to comprehend the words' meaning.
It's a song, you green-blooded Vulcan! The words aren't important. What's important is that you have fun singing it!
Spock
Oh, I am sorry, Doctor. Were we having fun?
God, I liked him better before he died.
Spock
Captain.
Spock, we're on leave. You can call me Jim.
Spock
Jim.
Yes, Spock?
Spock
Life is not a dream.
Go to sleep, Spock.
Spock
Yes, Captain.
Good night, Bones.
Good night, Jim.
Good night, Spock.
Spock
Good night, Doctor.
Good night, Spock.
Spock
Good night, Captain.
I don't know... I just don't know.
"All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."
Melville.
Spock
John Masefield.
Are you sure about that?
Spock
I am well-versed in the classics, Doctor.
Then how come you don't know Row, Row, Row Your Boat?
[Spock raises both eyebrows]
You told me you could get this ship operational in two weeks. I gave you three, what happened?
I think you gave me too much time, Captain.
Very well, Mr Scott. Carry on.
Aye, sir. [spots a nearby engineer] How many times do I have to tell you-- the right tool for the right job!
Computer
[They enter the turbolift]
Lev-Lev-Level?
Bridge. I hope. I could use a shower.
Spock
[looking at Kirk for several seconds]
Yes.
Spock!
Spock
Yes, Captain?
Be one with the horse.
Spock
Yes, Captain!
Damn it, Spock! God damn it!
Spock
Captain, what I have done--
What you have done is betray every man on the ship.
Spock
Worse, I have betrayed you. I do not expect you to forgive me.
Forgive you? I ought to knock you on your goddamned ass.
Spock
If you think it would help?
You want me to hold him, Jim?
You stay out of this.
I'll say one thing, Spock. You never cease to amaze me.
Spock
Nor I myself.
Spock
[tapping continues]
I believe it is a primitive form of communication known as Morse Code.
You're right. I'm out of practice. That's an "S."
Spock
A "T."
"A." "N." Uh, "D." End of word.
"Stand."
New word. "B." "A." Um...
Spock
"C." "K."
"Back." "Stand back."
James T. Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy
Stand back?
[The wall explodes]
What are you standing around for? Do you not know a jailbreak when you see one?
Spock
[The Enterprise is being attacked by Klaa's ship.]
General, I am in need of your assistance.
Korrd
My assistance?
Spock
You are his superior officer.
Korrd
I am a foolish old man.
Spock
Damn you, sir. You will try.
Spock
Please, Captain... not in front of the Klingons.
Spock
I've lost a brother.
Yes. I lost a brother once. I was lucky I got him back.
I thought you said men like us don't have families.
I was wrong.
Spock
(To Kirk while he is climbing)
Concentration is vital. You must be one with the rock.
Spock, I appreciate your concern, but if you don't stop bothering me, I'm liable to be one with the (Kirk slips off the rock face) GROUND!
I thought I was going to die. (After the confrontation with the Klingon ship and "God")
Spock
Not possible. You were never alone.
Hikaru Sulu
[hiking near Mount Rushmore]
I still think I should have gone to Yosemite with the captain.
What's the difference? You've seen one national park, you've seen them all.
My friends. Behold Paradise!
Spock
Sybok has failed. I resolved this pain... long ago.
Spock
[childlike voice]
Sybok? Wait!
I can't. They've banished me!
Spock
Take me with you!
No. You've chosen the Vulcan way.
Spock
I want to go with you!
It's not possible. I'm a heretic. I'm an enemy of the people. It would be dangerous for you to go.
Spock
But where will you go?
Where I can be free. Where I can prove I'm right! I will find Sha Ka Ree.
I ordered you to defend your ship!
Spock
You ordered me to kill my brother.
The man may be a fellow Vulcan, but that doesn't mean...
Spock
No, you do not understand. Sybok is also a son of Sarek.
You mean he's your brother brother? (Spock looks at him quizzically) You made that up!
Spock
I did not.
You did too. Sybok couldn't possible be your brother because I happen to know for a fact that you don't have a brother.
Spock
Technically, you are correct. I do not have a brother.
There, you see...
Spock
I have a half-brother.
Spock
This is a new brig, Captain. Completely escape-proof. To guarantee that, they used the most intelligent, most resourceful person they could find. He was unable to escape.
This person didn't happen to have pointed ears and a propensity for getting his shipmates into trouble, did he?
Spock
He did have pointed ears.
