Quotes

Dialogue

Kirk: I'm one year older. McCoy: Yep, that's usually how it works. Kirk: A year older than he ever got to be. He joined Starfleet 'cause he... He believed in it. I joined on a dare. McCoy: You joined to see if you could live up to him. You've spent all this time trying to be George Kirk and now you're wondering just what it means to be Jim, why you're out here. [toasts Kirk] To perfect eyesight and a full head of hair.

Dialogue

Chekov: Wow, that is impressive. Scotty: Aye, she's a beauty, isn't she? McCoy: What a damn monstrosity! Couldn't we just rent some space on a planet? Spock: Showing geographical favoritism among inducted Federation worlds could cause diplomatic tension. McCoy: Oh, you don't think that looks tense? Looks like a damn snowglobe in space, just waitin' to break! Kirk: [sighs] That's the spirit, Bones.

Dialogue

McCoy: You guys break up? What'd you do? Spock: A typically reductive inquiry, Doctor. McCoy: You know Spock, when an Earth-girl says "it's me not you", it's definitely you. [walks away]

Dialogue

Krall: What is your name? Uhura: How do you know our language? Krall: I know your kind. Uhura: I am Lieutenant Nyota Uhura of the USS Enterprise. And you have committed an act of war against the Federation. Krall: Federation? Federation is an act of war! Uhura: You attacked us. Krall: Your captain... why did you sacrifice yourself for him? Uhura: He would have done the same. And if he made it off that ship, he will come for us. Krall: I am counting on it, Lieutenant Uhura.

Dialogue

Spock: You asked me why Lieutenant Uhura and I parted ways. I became concerned, in the light of Vulcan's demise, that I owed a debt of duty to my species. McCoy: You though you should be off making little Vulcans, huh? Yeah, I can see how that'd upset her. Spock: I intended to discuss it with her further, but then I received some news which affected me unexpectedly. McCoy: What news? Spock: Ambassador Spock has died. McCoy: [sighs] Spock, I am so sorry. I can't imagine what that must feel like. Spock: [saddened] When you've lived as many lives as he had, fear of death is illogical. McCoy: The fear of death is what keeps us alive. Spock: I want to live as he did. That is why I have decided to redirect his efforts and continue his work on New Vulcan. McCoy: [stunned] You're leaving Starfleet? Well, what did Jim have to say about that? Spock: I could not find the time to tell him. McCoy: Well, I can tell you, he's not gonna like that. Hell, I don't know what he'd do without you. Me- Y'kno

Dialogue

Kirk: Mr. Sulu... you can... you know, fly this thing, right? Sulu: [looks back at him; smug] You kiddin' me, sir? Kirk: Fantastic.

Dialogue

Jaylah: Do not break my music! Scotty: Break it? You're gettin' an upgrade!

Dialogue

Kirk: What happened to you out there, Edison? Edison: “Edison...” I have to say, Kirk... I’ve missed being me. We lost ourselves, but gained a purpose! A means to bring the galaxy back to the struggle that made humanity strong. Kirk: I think you underestimate humanity. Edison: <big>I FOUGHT FOR HUMANITY!</big> Lost millions to the Xindi and Romulan wars! And for what?! For the Federation to sit me in a captain's chair and break bread... with the enemy! Kirk: We change. We have to. Or we spend the rest of our lives fighting the same battles.

Dialogue

Kirk: You lost! There's no way you can make it back there! Give up! Edison: What, like you did?! I read your ship's log, Captain James T. Kirk! <big>AT LEAST I KNOW WHAT I AM!!!</big> I am a soldier! Kirk: You won the war, Edison! You gave us peace! Edison: Peace... is not what I was born into!

Dialogue

Kirk: I heard about Ambassador Spock. Is that what you wanted to mention that time in the turbolift? Spock: More or less. I trust your meeting with Commodore Paris went well. Kirk: More or less. McCoy: [to Kirk and Spock as they look at the Enterprise-A under construction] You really want to head back up there, huh?

Dialogue

Kirk: Space... The final frontier. Spock: These are the voyages of the Starship... Scotty: Enterprise. Its continuing mission: McCoy: To explore strange new worlds. Sulu: To seek out new life... Chekhov: And new civilizations... Uhura: To boldly go where no one has gone before.
