Quote of the Day
Kirk: Aren’t you dead? I assume you are loitering here to learn what efficiency rating I plan to give your cadets.
Spock: I am understandably curious.
Kirk: They destroyed the simulator room and you with it.
Spock: The Kobayashi Maru scenario frequently wreaks havoc with students and equipment. As I recall you took the test three times yourself. Your final solution was, shall we say, unique?
Kirk: It had the virtue of never having been tried. (holding up his birthday present) Oh, by the way, thank you for this.
Spock: I know of your fondness for antiques.
Kirk: ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times’… Message, Spock?
Spock: None of that I’m conscious of… except, of course, happy birthday, surely the best of times.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Quote of the Day
Kirk: Spock! Did we just see the beginnings of a new lifeform?
Spock: Yes, Captain, we witnessed a birth. Possibly a next step in our evolution.
Kirk: I wonder.
McCoy: Well, it’s been a long time since I delivered a baby, and I hope we got this one off to a good start.
Kirk: I hope so, too. I think we gave it the ability to create its own sense of purpose. Out of our own human weaknesses, and the drive that compels us to overcome them.
McCoy: And a lot of foolish human emotions. Right, Mister Spock?
Spock: Quite true, Doctor. Unfortunately it will have to deal with them as well.

Quote of the Day
Kirk: The antenna leads are melted away.
Spock:Yes Captain, just now. By V’Ger itself.
Kirk: Why?
Spock: To prevent reception.
Kirk: Of course.
Decker: To bring the Creator here, to finish transmitting the code in person… to touch the Creator.
McCoy: To capture God! V’Ger’s going to be in for one hell of a disappointment.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Quote of the Day
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?’
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Quote of the Day
Spock: V’Ger has knowledge that spans this universe. And, yet with all this pure logic… V’Ger is barren, cold, no mystery, no beauty. I should have known.
Kirk: Known? Known what? …Spock, what should you have known?
Spock: This simple feeling …is beyond V’Ger’s comprehension. No meaning, …no hope, …and, Jim, no answers. It’s asking questions. ‘Is this …all I am? Is there nothing more?’

Quote of the Day
Kirk: Key in the ignition. Turn the ignition on. And nothing happens. Where’s the starter? There’s the starter. Yes!
Spock: Interesting.
Kirk: Oops! Gears.
Spock: Yes. Oh. I believe they had a device known as a clutch. Clutch, Captain. Perhaps one of those pedals on the floor.
Kirk: I kind of like this. I’m going to get one myself.
Spock: Captain, you are an excellent starship commander, but as a taxi driver you leave much to be desired.
Kirk: It was that bad?

Quote of the Day
McCoy: The odds are not good.
Spock: No. I would say approximately four hundred…
McCoy: Don’t quote odds and don’t give me any more dispassionate logic, Mister Spock. Just keep looking for them.
Spock: I would welcome a suggestion, Doctor, even an emotional one, as to where to look.
McCoy: First time you’ve ever asked me for anything, and it has to be an occasion like this.
