Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Captain James T. Kirk:
Captain's log, stardate 9522.6: I've never trusted Klingons, and I never will. I could never forgive them for the death of my boy. It seems to me our mission to escort the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council to a peace summit is problematic at best. Spock says this could be an historic occasion, and I'd like to believe him, but how on earth can history get past people like me?

Captain James T. Kirk:
They're animals.

Captain Spock:
Jim, there is an historic opportunity here.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Don't believe them. Don't trust them.

Captain Spock:
They're dying.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Let them die!

Captain James T. Kirk:
Has it occured to you that this crew is due to stand down in three months? We've done our bit for king and country! You should have trusted me.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Bones, are you afraid of the future?

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
I believe that was the general idea that I was trying to convey.

Captain James T. Kirk:
I don't mean this future.

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
What is this, multiple choice?

General Chang:
We need breathing room.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Earth, Hitler, 1938.

Captain Spock:
Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.

Captain Spock:
What you want is irrelevant, what you have chosen is at hand.

Captain Spock:
What we require now is a feat of linguistic legerdemain and a degree of intrepidity.

Chancellor Gorkon:
You don't trust me, do you? I don't blame you. If there is to be a brave new world, our generation is going to have the hardest time living in it.

Captain Spock:
There is the old Vulcan proverb: only Nixon could go to China.

Captain Spock:
If I were human I believe my response would be "go to hell."... If I were human.

Captain Spock:
Mr. Scott, I understand you are experiencing difficulties with the warp drive?

Captain Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott:
There's nothing wrong with the bloody...

Captain Spock:
Mr. Scott, if the Enterprise responds to hails and returns to Starbase, there is a good chance that we will never see Captain Kirk or Doctor McCoy alive again.

Captain Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott:
Could take weeks, sir...

General Chang:
I can see you Kirk. Can you see me?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Chang.

General Chang:
Oh, now be honest, Captain. Warrior to warrior. You do prefer it this way, don't you, as it was meant to be. No peace in our time. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends."

General Chang:
"I am constant as the northern star..."

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
I'd give real money if he'd shut up.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Captain's log, stardate 9529.1. This is the final cruise of the starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no one has gone before.

Commander Pavel Chekov:
Course heading, Captain?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
What IS it with you, anyway?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Names, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant Valeris:
I do not remember.

Captain Spock:
A lie?

Lieutenant Valeris:
A choice.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Captain's Log, stardate 9529.1. This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of a new generation. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no *one* has gone before.

Brigadier Kerla:
This is Brigadier Kerla speaking for the High Command. There has been an incident on Praxis. However, everything is under control, we have no need for assistance. Obey treaty stipulations and remain outside the Neutral Zone. This transmission ends now.

Captain Hikaru Sulu:
An "incident"?

Commander Janice Rand:
Do we report this, sir?

Captain Hikaru Sulu:
Are you kidding?

Ambassador Nanclus:
Mr. President, they are vulnerable... there will never be a better time.

Colonel West:
Quite frankly, Mr. President, we can clean their chronometers.

Captain James T. Kirk:
You're a great one for logic. I'm a great one for rushing in where angels fear to tread. We are both extremists. Reality has brought us somewhere in-between.

Kirk:
Spock, you want to know something?, Everybody's Human.

Captain Spock:
I find that remark... insulting.

Captain Spock:
The lieutenant was the first Vulcan to be graduated at the top of her class.

Captain James T. Kirk:
You must be very proud.

Lieutenant Valeris:
I don't believe so.

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
She's a Vulcan all right.

Captain Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott:
...then we're dead.

Captain Spock:
I've been dead before.

Commander Pavel Andreievich Chekov:
Guess who's coming to dinner.

General Chang:
Indeed. The record shows that Captain Kirk once held the rank of Admiral. And that Admiral Kirk was broken for taking matters into his own hands in defiance of regulations of the law. Do you deny being demoted for these charges? DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION. Answer me now.

Martia:
They'll respect you now.

Kirk:
That's a comfort. I was lucky that thing had knees.

Martia:
That was not his knee.

Martia:
Not everyone keeps their genitals in the same place, Captain.

General Chang:
Cry havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War.

Captain Kirk:
Note to Galley; Romulan Ale no longer to be served at diplomatic functions.

Captain Kirk:
Checkov you know anything about a radiation surge?

Commander Pavel Chekov:
Only the size of my head

Captain Kirk:
I know what you mean

Chancellor Gorkon:
Well... I see we have a long way to go.

General Chang:
To be... or not to be?

Admiral Cartwright:
I don't know whether to congratulate you or not, Jim.

Federation President:
Let us redefine progress to mean that just because we can do a thing, it does not necessarily mean we must do that thing.

General Chang:
"Tickle us, do we not laugh? Prick us, do we not bleed? Wrong us, shall we not revenge?"

Chief in Command Smillie:
Sir, those men have literally saved this planet.

Federation President:
Yes Bill, I know. And now they're going to save it again... by standing trial.

Kirk:
I'm going to sleep this off. Please let me know if there's some other way we can screw up tonight.

Captain Spock:
Doctor, would you care to assist me in performing surgery on a photon torpedo?

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
Fascinating!

Cmdr. Nyota Uhura:
You are Crewman Dax?

Crewman Dax:
Yes Commander. What is the problem?

Commander Pavel Chekov:
Perhaps you have heard Russian epic of Cinderella? If shoe fits, wear it!

Captain Spock:
Mr. Chekov...

Captain Hikaru Sulu:
In range?

Helmsman Lojur:
Not yet sir.

Captain Hikaru Sulu:
Come on, come on.

Helmsman Lojur:
She'll fly apart!

Captain Hikaru Sulu:
*Fly her apart then!*

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
I'm gonna find myself a black pot of coffee

General Chang:
Ahh... parting is such sweet sorrow. Don't we hear the chimes at midnight?

Captain Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott:
That Klingon b*tch killed her father.

Uhuru:
You understand, we have lost all contact with the Captain and Dr. McCoy.

Captain Spock:
Yes, at the moment, they are surrounded by a magnetic shield. However, if I know the Captain, by this time, he is deep into planning his escape.

Chancellor Gorkon:
You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.

Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.:
Why, that cunning little Vulcan!

Captain James T. Kirk:
People think the future means the end of history, well, we haven't run out of history just yet.

Chancellor Gorkon:
You haven't heard Shakespeare until you've heard it in the original Klingon.

General Chang:
"taH pagh, taH be?"

Kirk:
What are we all doing here?

McCoy:
Maybe they're throwing us a retirement party.

Scotty:
That suits me. I just bought a boat.

Scotty:
This had better be good. I'm supposed to be chairing a seminar at the Academy.

Chekov:
Captain, isn't this just for top brass?

McCoy:
If we're all here, where's Sulu?

Kirk:
*Captain* Sulu, on assignment. Where's Spock?

Admiral Cartwright:
Arrest those men!

McCoy:
Arrest yourself.

Spock:
Good morning. Two months ago, a Federation starship monitored an explosion on the Klingon moon, Praxis. We believed it was caused by overmining and insufficient safety precautions. The moon's decimation means a deadly pollution of their ozone. They will have depleted their supply of oxygen in approximately 50 Earth-years. Due to their enormous military budget, the Klingon economy does not have the resources with which to combat this catastrophe. Last month, at the behest of the Vulcan ambassador, I opened a dialogue with Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. He proposes to commence negotiations at once.

Admiral Cartwright:
Negotiations for what?

Spock:
The dismantling of our space stations and starbases along the Neutral Zone, an end to almost 70 years of unremitting hostility which the Klingons can no longer afford.

Chancellor Gorkon:
I offer a toast. The undiscovered country...the future.

Everyone:
The undiscovered country.

Spock:
Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1.

Gorkon:
You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.

Chang:
taH pagh taHbe' [Klingons laugh] "To be or not to be?" That is the question which preoccupies our people, Captain Kirk. We need breathing room.

James Kirk:
Earth. Hitler, 1938.

Chang:
I beg your pardon? [pause]

Gorkon:
Well...I see we have a long way to go.

Chang:
[over the Enterprise public address speakers] I am constant as the Northern Star...

Leonard McCoy:
[to Spock, while fixing a photon torpedo to track down Chang's warship] I'd give real money if he'd shut up.

[The Enterprise and Excelsior crews have just averted the assassination of the Federation president]

Azetbur:
What's happened? What's the meaning of all of this?

James T. Kirk:
It's about the future, Madame Chancellor. Some people think the future means the end of history. Well...We haven't run out of history quite yet. Your father called the future...the undiscovered country. People can be very frightened of change.

Azetbur:
You've restored my father's faith.

Kirk:
And you've restored my son's.

[The Enterprise crew see Sulu and the Excelsior bridge crew]

James T. Kirk:
Captain Sulu! As much to the crew of the Enterprise, I owe you my thanks.

Capt. Hikaru Sulu:
Nice to see you in action for one more time, Captain Kirk. Take care. [Excelsior leaves]

Commander Leonard McCoy:
By God, that's a big ship.

Montgomery Scott:
Not so big as her captain, I think.

Commander Pavel Chekov:
So, this is goodbye.

Kirk:
I think its about time we got underway ourselves. [sits on captain's chair]

Commander Nyota Uhura:
Captain, I have orders from Starfleet Command. We're to put back to Spacedock immediately...to be decommissioned. [long pause as Kirk contemplates the order]

Spock:
If I were human, I believe my response would be...go to Hell. [Kirk looks at Spock] If I were human.

Chekov:
Course heading, Captain?

Kirk:
Second star to the right... and straight on till morning.

Kirk:
Where’s my damn torpedo?

McCoy:
She’s ready Jim! Lock and load!
