Dr. McCoy : There's just one thing, Mr. Spock. You can't tell me that when you first saw Jim alive that you weren't on the verge of giving us an emotional scene that would have brought the house down.
Spock : Merely my quite logical relief that Starfleet had not lost a highly proficient captain.
Captain James T. Kirk : Yes, Mr. Spock, I understand.
Spock : Thank you, Captain.
Dr. McCoy : Of course, Mr. Spock. Your reaction was quite logical.
Spock : Thank you, Doctor.
[Kirk and Spock head for the exit]
Dr. McCoy : In a pig's eye!
-
Captain James T. Kirk : [about Spock] I owe him my life a dozen times over. Isn't that worth a career?
-
Dr. McCoy : [about Spock] There's a growing imbalance of body functions, as if, in our bodies, huge amounts of adrenalin were constantly being pumped into our blood streams. Now, I can't trace it down in my biocomps, Spock won't tell me what it is, but if it isn't stopped somehow, the physical and emotional pressures will simply kill him.
Captain James T. Kirk : You say you're convinced he knows what it is?
Dr. McCoy : He does. And he's as tight-lipped about it as an Aldebaran shellmouth.
-
Captain James T. Kirk : Well... there's no need to be, uh, embarrassed about it, Mr. Spock. It happens to the birds and the bees.
Spock : The birds and the bees are not Vulcans, Captain.
-
Spock : Captain, there is a thing that happens to Vulcans at this time, almost an insanity which you would no doubt find distasteful.
Captain James T. Kirk : [slightly amused] Will I? You've been most patient with my kinds of madness.
-
T'Pau : If thee wished to depart, thee may leave now.
Captain James T. Kirk : We'll stay.
T'Pau : Spock chose his friends well.
-
Spock : How do Vulcans choose their mates? Haven't you wondered?
Captain James T. Kirk : I guess the rest of us assumed that it's done... quite logically.
-
Spock : Captain, I should like to request a leave of absence on my home planet. On our present course, you can divert to Vulcan with a loss of but 2.8 light days.
Captain James T. Kirk : Spock, what the devil is this all about?
Spock : I have made my request, Captain. All I require from you is that you answer it! Yes or no?
-
Spock : This is our place of kunat kalifee.
Dr. McCoy : [to Kirk as Spock walks forward] He called it "kunat WHAT?"
Captain James T. Kirk : He described it to me as meaning marriage or challenge. In the distant past, Vulcans killed to win their mates.
Dr. McCoy : And they still go mad at this time - perhaps the price they pay for having no emotions the rest of the time.
-
T'Pau : If both survive the lirpa, combat will continue with the ahn woon.
Captain James T. Kirk : Ah, what do you mean "if both survive?"
T'Pau : This combat is to the death.
-
Spock : It has to do with biology.
Captain James T. Kirk : What?
Spock : Biology.
Captain James T. Kirk : What kind of biology?
Spock : Vulcan biology.
Captain James T. Kirk : You mean the biology of Vulcans? Biology as in reproduction?
