"It is logical." "The needs of the many outweigh... the needs of the few." "Or the one." "And I have been and always shall be your friend." "Live long... and prosper." "We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead." "This death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world, a world our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish." "He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one." "Of my friend, I can only say this." "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human." "Honors, hup!" "Space, the final frontier." "These are the continuing voyages of the Starship Enterprise." "Her ongoing mission- to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life forms and new civilizations." "To boldly go where no man has gone before." "U.S.S. Enterprise, Captain 's personal log." "With most of our battle damage repaired, we're almost home." "we're almost home." "Yet I feel uneasy, and I wonder why." "Perhaps it is the emptiness of this vessel." "Most of our trainee crew have been reassigned." "Lieutenant Saavik and my son David are exploring the Genesis planet, which he helped create." "And Enterprise feels like a house with all the children gone." "No." "More empty even than that." "The death of Spock is like an open wound." "It seems that I have left the noblest part of myself back there, on that newborn planet." "Status, Mr. Sulu." "On course, Admiral." "Estimating space dock in 2.1 hours." "Mr. Chekov, I'll need a pre-approach scan." "Take the science station, please." "Yes, sir." "Uhura." "Any response from Starfleet on our Genesis inquiries?" "No, sir." "There is no response." "That's very odd." "Scotty, progress report." "It's almost done, sir." "You'll be automated by the time we dock." "Your timing is excellent." "You fixed the barn door after the horse has come home." "How much refit time is needed?" "Eight weeks, sir, but I'll do it in two." "Have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?" "How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?" "Your reputation is secure, Scotty." "Mr. Sulu, take the con." "I'll be in my quarters." "Aye, sir." "Sir?" "I was wondering, are they planning a ceremony when we get in?" "I mean a reception?" "A hero's welcome- is that what you'd like?" "God knows there should be." "We've paid for the party with our dearest blood." "Steady." "Steady, boys." "Keep scanning." "I thought you people were reliable." "Where is he?" "He's been here for some time." "Put me on hailing frequency." "Commander Kruge." "This is Valkris." "Well done, Valkris, well done." "What the hell is" "What the hell's going on?" "When do I get paid off?" "Soon, Captain." "Quite soon." "Approach control, this is Enterprise, ready for docking maneuver." "Enterprise is cleared to dock." "Lock on." "Systems locked." "Spacedock, you have control." "Affirmative, Enterprise." "Enjoy the ride, and welcome home." "Enterprise confirms." "Would you look at that." "My friends, the great experiment... the Excelsior, ready for trial runs." "She's supposed to have transwarp drive." "Aye." "And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon." "Come, come, Mr. Scott." "Young minds, fresh ideas." "Be tolerant." "Acknowledge doors are closing." "Stand by, umbilical and gravitational support systems." "Moorings activated." "All systems standing by." "Admiral." "This is not possible." "Mr. Chekov?" "An energy reading from "C" deck, from inside Mr. Spock's quarters." "I ordered Spock's quarters sealed." "Yes, sir." "I sealed the room myself." "Nevertheless, I'm reading a life form there." "This entire crew seems on the edge of obsessive behavior concerning Mr. Spock." "Sir, security reports the door to Spock's quarters has been forced." "I'm on my way." "Mr. Sulu, continue docking procedure." "Aye, sir." "Hmm?" "Jim..." "Help me." "You left me on Genesis." "Why did you do that?" "Help me." "Bones." "What the hell are you doing?" "Have you lost your mind?" "Help me, Jim." "Take me home." "Bones, we are." "We are home." "Then perhaps it's not too late." "Climb the steps, Jim." "Climb the steps of Mount Seleya." "Mount Seleya?" "Bones, Mount Seleya is on Vulcan." "We're home, on Earth." "Remember." "Admiral, docking is completed." "Starfleet Commander Morrow is on his way for inspection." "Uhura, get the medics down here!" "Get them now!" "You've all done remarkable service under the most difficult conditions." "You'll be receiving" "Starfleet's highest commendation, and more importantly, extended shore leave." "That is, all but you, Mr. Scott." "They need your wisdom on the Excelsior." "Report there tomorrow as Captain of Engineering." "With all appreciation, sir," "I'd prefer to supervise the refit of Enterprise." "I'm afraid that won't be necessary." "But, sir..." "I'm sorry, Mr. Scott, but there will be no refit." "Admiral." "I don't understand." "The Enterprise is not" "Jim, the Enterprise is 20 years old." "We feel her day is over." "But we had requested..." "We'd hoped to take her back to Genesis." "That is out of the question." "Why?" "In your absence, Genesis has become a galactic controversy." "Until the Federation Council makes policy, you're all under orders not to discuss with anyone your knowledge of Genesis." "Consider it a quarantined planet and a forbidden subject." "To fully understand the events I report, it is necessary to review the theoretical data on the Genesis device as developed by Doctors Carol and David Marcus." "Genesis, simply put, is life from lifelessness." "We intended to introduce the Genesis device into a preselected area of a lifeless space body- a moon or other dead form." "The device, when delivered, would instantaneously cause the Genesis effect." "Instead of a dead moon, a living, breathing planet now exists, capable of sustaining whatever life forms we see fit to deposit on it." "So?" "Speak." "Great power to control... dominate." "Speak." "Impressive." "They can make planets." "Oh, yes." "New cities, homes in the country, your woman at your side, children playing at your feet, and overhead, fluttering in the breeze, the flag of the Federation." "Charming." "Station." "Yes, my lord." "Share this with no one." "Understood, my lord." "We are going to this planet." "Even as our emissaries negotiate for peace with the Federation, we will act for the preservation of our race." "We will seize the secret of this weapon." "The secret of ultimate power!" "Success, my lord." "We have reached the destination planet at .035." "Very well, Lieutenant." "Helm, execute standard orbital approach." "Standard orbit." "Aye, sir." "Communications." "Send a coded message for Starfleet Commander- priority one." ""Federation science vessel Grissom" ""arriving Genesis planet to begin research." "J.T. Esteban, commanding."" "Aye, sir." "Coding now." "Dr. Marcus, it's your planet." "Begin scanning, please." "This is where the fun begins, Saavik." "Just like your father- so human." "All units functional." "Recorders are on." "Scanning Sector 1 ." "Foliage in fully-developed state of growth." "Temperature-22.2 Celsius." "Sector 2 indicating desert terrain." "Minimal vegetation." "Temperature-39.4." "Sector 3- subtropical vegetation." "Temperature decreasing rapidly." "It's snow." "Snow in the same sector." "Fantastic." "Fascinating." "All the varieties of Earth's land and weather within a few hours' walk." "Metallic mass." "Close-range scan." "A photon tube." "Gravitational fields were in flux." "It must have soft-landed." "In code to Starfleet" ""Captain Spock's tube located on Genesis' surface."" "Yes, sir." "Coding your message." "I don't believe it." "What is it?" "If equipment is functioning properly, indications are an animal life form." "You said there wouldn't be any." "There shouldn't be any." "Cross-referenced and verified." "An unidentifiable life form reading." "Shall we advise Starfleet?" "Wait a minute." "We don't know what we're talking about here." "Let's beam it up." "No, you don't." "Regulations specifically state nothing shall be beamed aboard until danger of contamination has been eliminated." "The logical alternative is obvious." "Beaming down is permitted." "If the Captain decides the mission is vital and reasonably free of danger." "Captain, please, we've got to find out what it is." "Or who." "Absent friends." "Admiral, what will happen to the Enterprise?" "She's to be decommissioned." "Will we get another ship?" "I can't get an answer." "Starfleet is up to its brass in a galactic conference." "No one has time for those who wait." "Sir, about Dr. McCoy... how is he?" "He's home, resting comfortably." "Pumped full of tranquilizers." "They say it's exhaustion." "He promised me he'd stay put." "We'll see." "Ah, Mr. Scott." "Come." "Sarek!" "Ambassador, I had no idea you were here." "You know my crew." "I will speak with you alone, Kirk." "Please excuse us." "Ambassador, I would have come to Vulcan to express my deepest sympathies." "Spare me your human platitudes." "I have been to your government." "I've seen the Genesis information and your own report." "Then you know your son met his death bravely." "Why did you leave him on Genesis?" "Spock trusted you, and you denied him his future." "I saw no future." "Only his body was in death." "You were the last one to be with him." "Yes, I was." "You should have come with him to Vulcan." "But why?" "Because he asked you to." "He entrusted you with his very essence, with everything that was not of the body." "He asked you to bring him to us and to bring that which he gave you- his Katra- his living spirit." "Sir... your son meant more to me than you can know." "I'd have given my life if it would have saved his." "Believe me, he made no request of me." "He would not have spoken of it openly." "Then how..." "Kirk, I must have your thoughts." "May I join your mind?" "Certainly." "He spoke of your friendship." "Yes." "Asked you not to grieve." "Yes." "The needs of the many... outweigh... the needs of the few." "Or the one." "Spock." "I have been... and always shall be... your friend." "Live long... and prosper." "No." "Forgive me." "It is not here." "I had assumed he mind-melded with you." "It is the Vulcan way when the body's end is near." "We were separate." "He couldn't touch me." "I see." "Then everything that he was... everything he knew... is lost." "Please wait." "He would have found a way." "If there was that much at stake," "Spock would have found a way." "Yes." "But how?" "What if he joined with someone else?" "Engine room, flight recorder visual." "Stardate 8128. 78." "Go." "The ship... out of danger?" "Yes." "Back .77." "Flight recorder visual 28. 77." "Go." "No!" "You'll flood the whole compartment." "He'll die." "He's dead already." "Back .76." "Flight recorder visual 28. 76." "Go." "You're not going in there." "Perhaps you're right." "What is Mr. Scott's condition?" "I don't think he" "Sorry, Doctor," "I have no time to discuss this logically." "Freeze." "Repeat and augment." "Remember." "McCoy!" "One alive, one not, yet both in pain." "What must I do?" "You must bring them to Mount Seleya on Vulcan." "Only there can both find peace." "What you ask... is difficult." "You will find a way, Kirk." "If you honor them both, you must." "I will." "I swear." "Transporter room, stand by to energize." "Aye, sir." "Energizing now." "Grissom to Saavik." "We're picking up radiation from the life form." "Affirmative, Captain." "Our readings are well below danger level." "Exercise caution, Lieutenant." "This landing is Captain's discretion, and I'm the one who's out on a limb." "I'll try to remember that." "There are your life forms." "These were microbes on the tube's surface." "We shot them here from Enterprise." "They were fruitful and multiplied." "But how could they have evolved so quickly?" "Saavik." "What is it?" "Spock's burial robe." "Aaahhh..." "Aaahhh..." "No." "Absolutely not, Jim." "You're my best officer, but I am Commander- Starfleet, so I don't break rules." "Don't quote rules." "I'm talking about loyalty and sacrifice." "One man who's died for us, another with emotional problems." "This business about Spock and McCoy- honestly, I never understood Vulcan mysticism." "You don't have to believe." "I'm not even sure that I believe." "But if there's even a chance that Spock has an eternal soul, then it's my responsibility." "Yours?" "As surely as if it were my very own." "Give me back the Enterprise." "With Scotty's help" "No." "The Enterprise would never stand the pounding." "Then I'll find a ship." "I'll hire a ship." "Out of the question." "The council has ordered that no one but the science team goes to Genesis." "Jim, your life and your career stand for rationality, not for intellectual chaos." "Keep up this emotional behavior, and you'll lose everything." "You'll destroy yourself." "Do you understand me, Jim?" "I hear you." "I had to try." "Of course." "Thanks for the drink." "Anytime." "The word, sir?" "The word is no." "I am therefore going anyway." "You can count on our help." "Thank you." "I'll need it." "Shall I alert Dr. McCoy?" "Please." "He has a long journey ahead of him." "Long time, Doc." "Yeah." "Anybody been looking for me?" "I have." "What will it be?" "Altair water." "That's not your usual poison." "To expect one to order poison in a bar is not logical." "Got it." "To your planet, welcome." "I think that's my line, stranger." "Oh, forgive." "I here am new." "But you are known, being McCoy from Enterprise." "You have me at a disadvantage, sir." "I name not important." "You seek l." "Message received." "Available ship stands by." "How much and how soon?" "How soon is now." "How much is where." "Somewhere in the Mutara sector." "Oh..." "Mutara restricted." "Take permits many." "Money more." "There aren't going to be any damn permits." "How can you get a permit to do a damn illegal thing?" "Look, price you name." "Money I got." "Place you name." "Money I name." "Otherwise, bargain no." "All right, damn it." "It's Genesis." "The name of the place we're going is Genesis!" "Genesis?" "Yes, Genesis!" "How can you be deaf with ears like that?" "Genesis allowed is not." "Is planet forbidden." "Look, my backwards friend," "Genesis may be planet forbidden, but I'm damn well" "Sir, your voice is carrying." "You don't want to discuss this subject in public." "I'll discuss what I like!" "Who the hell are you?" "Could I offer you a ride home, Dr. McCoy?" "Where's the logic?" "If I wanted a ride home, would I be chartering a space flight?" "How do you know who I am?" "Federation security, sir." "You're going to get a nice long rest, Doctor." "Saavik to Grissom." "We are definitely reading a second life form." "We concur." "Proceed with caution, Saavik." "What the hell is going on down there?" "Make it quick, Admiral." "They're moving him to the Federation funny farm." "Poor friend." "I hear he's fruity as a nutcake." "Two minutes." "Jim!" "How many fingers do I have up?" "That's not very funny." "You're sense of humor's returned." "The hell it has." "What's that?" "Lexorin." "Lexorin?" "What for?" "You're suffering from a Vulcan mind-meld, Doctor." "That green-blooded son of a bitch!" "It's his revenge for those arguments he lost." "Let's see your hand." "This will make you well enough to travel." "Where's Admiral Kirk?" "He's with the prisoner." "Get him quickly." "Commander Starfleet wants him right away." "Oh, hum." "Keeping you busy?" "Don't get smart, Tiny." "Admiral, Starfleet" "This man's sick." "Take a look." "Side elevator." "Agents coming up." "Don't call me Tiny." "The Kobayashi Maru has set sail for the promised land." "Acknowledge." "Message acknowledged." "All units will be informed." "You're taking me to the promised land?" "What are friends for?" "Ah, Mr. Scott." "Calling it a night?" "Uh, yes, sir." "Looking forward to breaking some speed records tomorrow." "Yes, sir." "Good night." "Level, please." "Transporter room." "Thank you." "Up your shaft." "Roger." "Old City Station at 2200 hours." "All is well." "Understood." "All stations clear." "You amaze me, Commander." "How is that?" "A 20-year space veteran, yet you choose the worst duty station." "This is the hind end of space." "Peace and quiet appeals to me, Lieutenant." "Maybe that's okay for someone like you, whose career is winding down." "But me, I need some challenge and adventure in my life." "Maybe even just a surprise." "You know what they say." "Be careful what you wish for." "You may get it." "Good evening, Commander." "Is everything ready?" "Step into my parlor, gentlemen." "That's Admiral Kirk." "My God!" "Very good for you, Lieutenant." "But it's damn irregular." "No destination orders, no encoded IDs." "All true." "What'll we do?" "I'm not doing anything." "You're going to sit in the closet." "The closet?" "Have you lost all your sense of reality?" "This isn't reality." "This is fantasy." "You wanted adventure." "How's this?" "The old adrenaline going?" "Good." "Now get in the closet." "Okay." "Uh..." "Go on." "Go on." "I'll just get in the closet." "Okay!" "I'm glad you're on our side." "I'll have Mr. Adventure eating out of my hand, and I'll see you at the rendezvous." "Oh, and, Admiral..." "All my hopes." "As promised, she's all yours, sir." "All systems automated and ready." "A chimpanzee and two trainees could run her." "I'll try not to take that personally." "My friends, I can't ask you to go any further." "Dr. McCoy and I have to do this." "The rest of you do not." "Admiral, we're losing precious time." "What course, please, Admiral?" "Mr. Scott?" "I'd be grateful if you'd give the word." "Gentlemen..." "May the wind be at our backs." "Stations, please." "Engage all the systems." "Aye." "Engaged!" "Clear all moorings." "Clearing, sir." "One quarter impulse power." "One quarter impulse." "Sir." "Commander Starfleet orders you to surrender this vessel." "No reply, Chekov." "Steady as she goes." "Yellow alert." "Captain to the bridge." "Yellow alert." "How can you have a yellow alert in spacedock?" "Sir, someone is stealing the Enterprise!" "I'm on my way." "Alert." "Yellow alert." "All stations, yellow alert." "Alert." "Yellow alert." "All stations, yellow alert." "One minute to space doors." "Are you just going to walk through?" "Calm yourself, Doctor." "Sir, Excelsior powering up with orders to pursue." "Yellow alert." "Status?" "All automates ready and functioning." "Automatic moorings retracted." "All speeds available through transwarp drive." "Incredible machine." "Helm." "One quarter impulse power." "30 seconds to space doors." "Warning." "Secure space doors." "Warning." "Secure space doors." "And...now, Mr. Scott." "Sir?" "The doors, Mr. Scott." "Aye, sir." "I'm working on it." "Danger." "Space doors are closed." "Danger." "Space doors are closed." "We have cleared space doors." "Full impulse power." "Aye, sir." "Standby tractor beam." "Tractor beam, aye." "If he tries to get away with warp drive, he's really in for a shock." "Excelsior closing to 4,000 meters." "We'll need everything you have." "Aye, sir." "Warp drive standing by." "Kirk, if you do this, you'll never sit in the captain's chair again." "Warp speed." "Aye, sir." "Warp speed." "Prepare for warp speed." "Standby transwarp drive." "Transwarp at your command." "Full power available." "Execute." "...Power available..." "Transwarp drive, full...power... available...." "Transwarp drive, maximum velocity in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." "Scotty, as good as your word." "The more they over think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." "Here, Doctor, souvenirs from one surgeon to another." "I removed them from her transwarp computer drive." "Nice of you to tell me in advance." "You shouldn't miss staff meetings." "Your work today has been outstanding." "I'll recommend you all for promotion... in whatever fleet we end up serving." "Best speed to Genesis." "The Genesis wave." "His cells could have been regenerated." "Captain, this is Saavik." "Come in, please." "Yes, Saavik." "Go ahead." "We have found the life sign." "It is a Vulcan child, perhaps 8-1 0 Earth years of age." "A child?" "How did he get there?" "It's Dr. Marcus' opinion that this is... that the Genesis effect has regenerated..." "Captain Spock." "Uh..." "Saavik, that's, uh..." "That's extraordinary." "What will you do next?" "Request permission to beam aboard immediately." "Does Dr. Marcus think there's any chance of radioactive contamination?" "No." "None that he can detect." "I'll advise Starfleet and get instructions." "I'm sure Starfleet would approve." "Probably true, but let's follow rules." "Stand by on this channel." "Go." "Starfleet Command, this is U.S.S. Grissom on subspace coded channel 98.8." "Come in, please." "Something is jamming our transmission." "An energy surge." "Locate." "It's from astern, Captain." "Oh, my God!" "Captain, what is happening?" "We're under attack!" "Stand by for evasive." "Bah!" "May I suggest" "Say the wrong thing!" "If you want prisoners, there are life signs there." "Perhaps the very scientists you seek." "Very good." "Grissom, this is Saavik on emergency frequency." "Come in, please." "What happened to them?" "Grissom was destroyed by an enemy attack." "We must go." "They will soon come after us." "Estimating Genesis, 2.9 hours, present speed." "Can we hold speed?" "Aye." "She's got her second wind." "Scan for vessels in pursuit." "Scanning." "Indications negative at this time." "Well, did I get it right?" "Great, Bones, just great." "It's time for total truth between us." "This planet is not what you intended or hoped for, is it?" "Not exactly." "Why?" "I used protomatter in the Genesis matrix." "Protomatter." "An unstable substance which every ethical scientist in the galaxy has denounced as dangerously unpredictable." "It was the only way to solve certain problems." "So, like your father, you changed the rules." "If I hadn't, it might have been years or never." "How many have paid the price for your impatience?" "How many have died?" "How much damage have you done?" "And what is yet to come?" "This planet's aging in surges." "And Spock with it." "It seems they' rejoined together." "They are." "How long?" "Days... maybe hours." "I'm sorry." "It will be hardest on Spock." "Soon he will feel the burning of his Vulcan blood." "I don't understand." "Pon Farr." "Vulcan males must endure it every seventh year of their adult life." "Whoever they are, they're getting closer." "I'll go." "No." "I'll do it." "Give me your phaser." "Sir, Starfleet calling U.S.S. Grissom." "A warning about us." "Response?" "Nothing, as before." "What's the Grissom up to?" "Will she join us or fire on us?" "Break silence." "Send Captain Esteban my compliments." "Aye, sir." "How are we doing?" "How are we doing?" "It's funny you should put it quite that way, Jim." "We are doing fine, but I'd feel safer giving him one of my kidneys than what's scrambled in my brain." "Admiral, there's no response from Grissom on any channel." "Keep trying, Chekov... at regular intervals." "It is called Pon Farr." "Pon Farr." "We are secured for warp speed." "Now entering Genesis sector." "Proceed at impulse power." "Vessel entering sector." "Yes." "Federation battle cruiser." "Have they scanned us?" "Not yet." "Ahh." "I'd swear there was something there, sir." "What did you see?" "For an instant, a scout-class vessel." "Could be Grissom." "Patch in a hailing frequency." "Grissom, this is Enterprise calling." "Please come in." "Grissom, this is Enterprise calling." "Do you read?" "Yiahuq!" "Spock!" "Dah!" "I've come a long way for the power of Genesis, and what do I find?" "A weakling human, a Vulcan boy, and a woman." "My lord, we are survivors of a doomed expedition." "This planet will destroy itself in hours." "The Genesis experiment is a failure." "A failure." "The most powerful destructive force ever created." "You will tell me the secret of the Genesis torpedo." "I have no knowledge." "Then I hope pain is something you enjoy." "Johwi'." "I ordered no interruptions!" "But, sir, Federation starship approaching." "Bring me up." "Grissom... this is Enterprise calling." "Do you read?" "Grissom, this is Enterprise calling." "Please come in." "Grissom." "This is Admiral Kirk calling Captain Esteban or Lieutenant Saavik." "Please come in." "Report status." "We are cloaked." "Enemy closing on impulse power." "Range, 5,000 kellicams." "Good." "This is the turn of luck I've been waiting for." "Nothing on my scanner." "Short range scan, Mr. Chekov." "Put it on visual, Mr. Sulu." "Range, 3,000 kellicams." "Steady." "Continue on impulse power." "Range, 2,000 kellicams." "Stand by to transfer energy to weapons... at my command." "There." "That distortion." "See it?" "It's enlarging as we close in." "Firing range, sir." "Opinion, Mr. Sulu." "It's an energy surge." "Enough to hide a ship?" "A cloaking device." "Red alert, Mr. Scott." "Aye, sir." "1 ,000 kellicams, closing." "Power to weapons systems." "Wait." "Wait." "No shields?" "My guess is right." "They have to decloak before firing." "May all your guesses be right." "Vaq valis qeliqap." "Tyrusch." "Shoha!" "Klingon bird of prey, sir." "She's arming torpedoes." "Fire!" "Good shooting, Mr. Scott." "Precautionary, Mr. Chekov." "Shields up." "Aye, sir." "Emergency power to the thrusters!" "Sir, the shield's nonresponsive." "Scotty?" "The automation system's overloaded." "I didn't expect to go into combat." "Bah!" "Emergency power." "Prepare to return fire." "Can you transfer power to the phaser banks?" "I don't think so." "What happened?" "They've knocked out the automation center." "I've got no control." "Mr. Sulu?" "Nothing, sir." "So... we're a sitting duck." "Ready to fire emergency tube." "Why haven't they finished us?" "They outgun me 1 0 to 1 ." "My lord, the enemy commander wishes a truce." "Put him on-screen." "This is Admiral James T. Kirk of Federation starship Enterprise." "So...the Genesis commander himself." "A violation of treaty- your presence here is an act of war." "You have two minutes to surrender, or we will destroy you." "He's hiding something." "We may have hit him more seriously than I thought." "How can you tell?" "I trust my instincts." "Admiral Kirk, this is your opponent speaking." "Don't lecture me about treaty violations." "The Federation, in creating an ultimate weapon, has become a gang of intergalactic criminals." "It is you who will surrender." "On the planet below," "I have three prisoners from the team who developed your doomsday weapon." "If you do not surrender immediately," "I will execute them one at a time as enemies of galactic peace!" "Who is this?" "How dare you take prisoners?" "Who I am isn't important." "That I have them is." "I will allow you to speak to them." "Admiral, this is Lieutenant Saavik." "Saavik!" "Is David with you?" "Yes." "Also a Vulcan scientist of your acquaintance." "This..." "Vulcan..." "Is he alive?" "He's not himself, but he lives." "He's subject to rapid aging." "Hello, sir." "It's David." "I'm sorry I'm late." "I should've known you'd come." "This planet will destroy itself in hours." "David, what went wrong?" "I went wrong." "I don't understand." "Just don't surrender." "Genesis doesn't work." "I can't believe they'd kill us for it." "I meant what I said." "To show that my intentions are sincere," "I shall kill one of the prisoners." "Wait!" "Allow me to talk." "Saavik?" "David?" "Admiral, David is dead." "You Klingon bastard, you've killed my son." "You Klingon bastard, you've killed my son." "You Klingon bastard!" "There are two more prisoners, Admiral." "Do you want them killed, too?" "Surrender your vessel." "All right." "All right, damn you." "All right." "Give me a minute to inform my crew." "I give two minutes for you and your gallant crew." "Take every last man." "Form a boarding party armed heavily." "They outnumber us." "We are Klingons!" "Once you control the ship, we'll transfer our flag there and take Genesis from their own memory banks." "Mr. Sulu, what is the crew complement of a bird of prey?" "About a dozen officers and men." "With some of them on the planet." "I swear to you, we're not finished yet." "Bones, you and Sulu to the transporter room." "The rest of you, we have a job to do." "Commander, Klingon vessel..." "Prepare to board on my next signal." "No tricks, Kirk." "You have one minute." "No tricks." "I'm looking forward to meeting you." "Computer, this is Admiral James T. Kirk." "Request security access." "Computer, destruct sequence one, code 1 -1 a." "Computer, Commander Montgomery Scott, chief engineering officer." "Destruct sequence two, code 1 -1 a-2b." "Computer, this is Commander Pavel Chekov, acting science officer." "Destruct sequence three, code 1 b-2b-3." "Destruct sequence completed and engaged." "Awaiting final code for one-minute countdown." "Code zero zero zero." "Destruct." "Zero." "Destruct sequence is activated." "Kirk, the time runs out." "All set?" "Aye, sir." "Commander, Klingon vessel." "We are energizing transporter beam now." "Transporter, stand by." "Hara." "My lord, the ship appears to be deserted." "How can that be?" "They're hiding!" "The bridge is run by computer." "It's the only thing speaking." "Speaking?" "Let me hear." "9...8...7...6... 5..." "Get out!" "Get out of there!" "1..." "My God, Bones, what have I done?" "What you had to do." "What you always do." "Turn death into a fighting chance to live." "Planet core readings." "Unstable, changing rapidly." "What about surface life signs?" "There." "Yaaa!" "Aah!" "No, don't touch him." "Bones." "What happened?" "He gave his life to save us." "Rapid aging." "All genetic functions highly accelerated." "What about his mind?" "His mind's a void." "It seems I've got all his marbles." "Is there anything we can do?" "Only one thing- get him off this planet." "His aging is part of what's going on around us." "Klingon Commander, this is Admiral James T. Kirk." "I'm alive and well on the planet surface." "I know this will come as a pleasant surprise, but our ship had an unfortunate accident." "Sorry about your crew, but as we say on Earth, c'est la vie." "I have what you want." "I have the secret of Genesis." "You're going to have to bring us up there to get it." "Do you hear me?" "I'm waiting for you." "What is your answer?" "Aaahhh!" "Drop all weapons!" "Over there." "All but Kirk." "Maltz." "Prisoners are at beam coordinates." "Take the Vulcan, too." "No!" "But why?" "Because you wish it." "Genesis." "I want it!" "Beam the Vulcan up, and we'll talk." "Give me what I want, and I'll consider it." "You fool, look around you!" "The planet's destroying itself!" "Yes, exhilarating, isn't it?" "If we don't help each other, we'll die here." "Perfect." "Then that's the way it shall be." "Give me Genesis!" "Aah!" "Give me your hand!" "I... have had... enough of you!" "Maltz..." "Jolyichu!" "Don't." "How many more?" "Just him, sir." "Bones, help Spock." "We've got to break out of orbit." "You, help us or die." "I do not deserve to live." "Fine." "I'll kill you later." "Let's get out of here." "Where's the damn anti-matter inducer?" "This?" "No, this!" "That or nothing." "If I'm right, we have full power." "Go, Sulu." "Goodbye, David." "We are clear and free to navigate." "Best speed to Vulcan." "Take the prisoner below." "Aye, sir." "Wait." "You said you would kill me." "I lied." "Spock, for God sakes, talk to me." "You stuck this damn thing in my head, remember?" "Remember?" "Now tell me what to do with it." "Help me." "I'm going to tell you something that I never thought I'd ever hear myself say." "But it seems I've missed you." "I don't know if I could... stand to lose you again." "Ambassador, they're on approach." "They're requesting permission to land." "Permission granted." "Tell them... tell Kirk... we'll be ready." "Mr. Sulu, you're on manual." "It's been a while, sir." "Here we go." "Retrothrusters." "Sarek is waiting above, sir." "Kaltorfalikal." "Sarek..." "Child of Skon, child of Solkar... the body of your son breathes still." "What is your wish?" "I ask for Fal-tor-pan, the re-fusion." "What you seek has not been done since ages past... and then, only in legend." "Your request is not logical." "Forgive me, T'lar." "My logic...is uncertain where my son is concerned." "Who is the keeper of the Katra?" "I am." "McCoy," "Leonard H., son of David." "McCoy, son of David, since thou art human, we cannot expect thee to understand fully what Sarek has requested." "Spock's body lives." "With your approval, we shall use all our powers to return to his body that which you possess." "But, McCoy, you must now be warned." "The danger to thyself is as grave as the danger to Spock." "You must make the choice." "I choose the danger." "Hell of a time to ask." "Ben... val...navu." "I'm all right, Jim." "What about Spock?" "Only time will answer." "Kirk..." "I thank you." "What you have done" "What I have done..." "I had to do." "But at what cost?" "Your ship, your son." "If I hadn't tried, the cost would've been my soul." "My father says that you have been my friend." "You came back for me." "You would have done the same for me." "Why would you do this?" "Because the needs of the one... outweigh the needs of the many." "I have been and ever shall be your friend." "Yes." "Yes, Spock." "The ship... out of danger?" "You saved the ship." "You saved us all." "Don't you remember?" "Jim." "Your name is Jim." "Yes."
