Kirk: Spock… Spock? (they see that Spock is crying) Not for us?

Spock: No, Captain, not for us… for V’Ger… I weep for V’Ger, as I would for a brother. As I was when I came aboard, so is V’Ger now, empty, incomplete… searching. Logic and knowledge are not enough.

McCoy: Spock, are you saying that you’ve found, what you needed, but V’Ger hasn’t?

Decker: What would V’Ger need to fulfil itself?

Spock: Each of us, at some time in our life, turns to someone, a father, a brother, a god and asks ‘Why am I here? What was I meant to be?’ V’Ger hopes to touch its Creator to find its answers.

Kirk: ‘Is this all that I am? Is there nothing more?’
