"And..." "Action!" "Spock, nobody knows the rules better than you, but there is got to be an exception." "None." "Such action violates the Prime Directive." "Spock, we're talking about your life!" "J.J. ABRAMS:" "All these characters, at one point or another, have their lives on the line." "If Spock were here and I were there, what would he do?" "He'd let you die." "ZACHARY QUINTO:" "Spock is willing to die to... follow the rules." "Doctor, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." "And Kirk is not willing to let his friend die, just because of some rules." "And that really sets them up at odds early on." " Admiral" " You filed a report?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "I, incorrectly, assumed that you would be truthful in your Captain's log." "Yeah, I would have been, if I didn't have to save your life." "BRUCE GREENWOOD:" "What I think is the crux at the beginning of this movie is that, although there is greatness in Kirk, he's arrogant and he feels he's invincible and that's really dangerous." "CHRIS PINE:" "There's a self-serving quality to Kirk." "Kinda wants to prove that he's the best, that he can get away with all this, that he can win." "J.J. ABRAMS:" "Spock would rather abide by the rules and even lose his own life." "That makes no sense to Kirk." "Beyond that, he looked at Spock as a friend and, in fact, as much as he's upset that he's lost the ship, he's actually even more hurt that Spock doesn't get that." "Do you understand why I went back for you?" "ZACHARY QUINTO:" "This movie, for Spock, is a lot about understanding how important it is to be... emotionally available, which is something that he's not particularly skilled at." "The truth is..." "I'm gonna miss you." "Spock, actually, mind-melds with Pike in the moment of his death." "He communes with the emotional life of Admiral Pike as he's dying, and gets a deeper glimpse into what it is to be human, and what it is that human beings go through in the moment of their death." "CHRIS PINE:" "When Pike dies, his armour is shattered." "I think we can see is that Kirk that- before, he would have sat in the chair and be able to kind of wring it." "He's just racked with doubt." "Icannotallowyou todothis." "It is my function aboard this ship to advise you in making the wisest decisions possible, something, I firmly believe, you're incapable of doing in this moment!" "You're right!" "I have no idea what I'm supposed to do." "I only know what I can do." "The Enterprise and her crew need someone in that chair, who knows what he's doing." "It's not me." "It's you, Spock." "CHRIS PINE:" "What makes a great story, it's always about selflessness, like a myth teaches people to look outside of themselves." "This act shows the greatest love and maturity for the guy that we've seen" "I think, in two tones." "This is a selfless act, he's not thinking about how many points he's going to win, or how crafty he is, this is him doing something for the people that he loves." "Engineering to Bridge." "Mr Spock." "Mr. Scott." "Sir." "You'd better get down here." "Better hurry." "J.J. ABRAMS:" "The secret of this film, not unlike the first movie, is it's just as much Spock's film." "ROBERTO ORCI:" "When Kirk dies and the reactor's result of radation poisoning, that's what happened to Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock in 'The Wrath of Khan', back in 1982." "The difference is, in 'The Wrath of Khan', that scene was a punctuation to an end of a friendship." "In this movie, this is a realisation to Mr Spock, that they are friends." "You saved the crew." "You used what he wanted against him." "That's a nice move." "It is what you would have done." "And this... this is what you would have done." "J.J. ABRAMS:" "What is it like to... be a friend, when you're not completely human and you've chosen to, sort of, live in this more logical and less emotional way." "CHRIS PINE:" "I can't think of two people more completely at odds with one another." "Both're, finally, in a certain level of synthesis and balance." "I want you to know why I couldn't let you die." "Why I went back for you." "Because you are my friend." "This movie is about Kirk truly understanding what it is to be a Captain, and Spock truly understanding what it is to be a friend."
