Quote of the Day


McCoy: A negative attitude is no good to us. We can’t just leave them out there, wherever they are. 

Spock: We shall continue sensor scans, Doctor. At the moment, that is all we can do, except hope for a rational explanation. 

McCoy: Hope? I always thought that was a human failing, Mister Spock. 

Spock: True, Doctor. Constant exposure does result in a certain degree of contamination.

Star Trek — Season 2: Episode 17 — “The Gamesters of Triskelion”

Quote of the Day


Spock: Doctor, if I were able to show emotion, your new infatuation with that term would begin to annoy me. 

McCoy: What term? Logic? Medical men are trained in logic, Mister Spock. 

Spock: Really, Doctor, I had no idea they were trained. Watching you, I assumed it was trial and error. 

Star Trek — Season 2: Episode 14 — “Bread and Circuses”

Quote of the Day


McCoy: What’s the matter, Spock? 

Spock: There’s something disquieting about these creatures. 

McCoy: Don’t tell me you’ve got a feeling. 

Spock: Don’t be insulting, Doctor. They remind me of the lilies of the field. They toil not, neither do they spin. But they seem to eat a great deal. I see no practical use for them. 

McCoy: Does everything have to have a practical use for you? They’re nice, soft, and furry, and they make a pleasant sound. 

Spock: So would an ermine violin, but I see no advantage in having one. 

McCoy: It’s a human characteristic to love little animals, especially if they’re attractive in some way. 

Spock: Doctor, I am well aware of human characteristics. I am frequently inundated by them, but I’ve trained myself to put up with practically anything. 

McCoy: Spock, I don’t know too much about these little tribbles yet, but there’s one thing that I have discovered. 

Spock: What is that, Doctor? 

McCoy: I like them… better than I like you. 

Spock: Doctor? 

McCoy: Yes? 

Spock: They do have one redeeming characteristic. 

McCoy: What’s that? 

Spock: They do not talk too much. If you’ll excuse me, sir.

Star Trek — Season 2: Episode 13 — “The Trouble with Tribbles”

Quote of the Day


Spock: Its trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the Human nervous system. Fortunately, of course… I am immune… to its… effect.

Quote of the Day


Spock: The child was named Leonard James Akaar? 

McCoy: Has a kind of a ring to it, don’t you think, James? 

Kirk: Yes. I think it’s a name destined to go down in galactic history, Leonard. What do you think, Spock? 

Spock: I think you’re both going to be insufferably pleased with yourselves for at least a month… sir.

Star Trek — Season 2: Episode 3 — “Friday’s Child”

Quote of the Day


Edith: You know as well as I do how out of place you two are around here. 

Spock: Interesting. Where would you estimate we belong, Miss Keeler? 

Edith: You? At his side, as if you’ve always been there and always will. And you? You belong in another place. I don’t know where or how. I’ll figure it out eventually. 

Spock: I’ll finish with the furnace. 

Edith: …Captain. Even when he doesn’t say it, he does.

Star Trek — Season 1: Episode 28 — “The City on the Edge of Forever”

Quote of the Day


Kirk: You were actually enjoying my predicament back there. At times, you seem quite human.

Spock: Captain, I hardly believe that insults are within your prerogative as my commanding officer. 

Kirk: Sorry.

Star Trek — Season 1: Episode 28 — “The City on the Edge of Forever”

Quote of the Day


Spock: A time portal, Captain. A gateway to other times and dimensions, if I’m correct.

Guardian: As correct as possible for you. Your science knowledge is obviously primitive. 

Spock: Really?

Kirk: Annoyed, Spock? 

Star Trek — Season 1: Episode 28 — “The City on the Edge of Forever”

Quote of the Day


Kirk: What would you say the odds on our getting out of here? 

Spock: Difficult to be precise, Captain. I should say approximately 7,824.7 to 1. 

Kirk: Difficult to be precise? 7,824 to 1? 

Spock: 7,824.7 to 1. 

Kirk: That’s a pretty close approximation. 

Spock: I endeavour to be accurate. 

Kirk: You do quite well. 

Star Trek — Season 1: Episode 27 — “Errand of Mercy”

Quote of the Day

Kirk: Well, there it is. War. We didn’t want it, but we’ve got it.

Spock: Curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.
