[Spock notices an elder Vulcan walking in the docking bay]

Spock:
Father...

Spock Prime:
[turns around to face him] I am not our father. There are so few Vulcans left. We cannot afford to ignore each other.

Spock:
[gets closer] Then why did you send Kirk aboard, when you alone could have explained the truth?

Spock Prime:
Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.

Spock:
How did you persuade him to keep your secret?

Spock Prime:

Spock:
You lied?

Spock Prime:
Ah... I - I implied.

Spock:
A gamble.

Spock Prime:
An act of faith. One I hope that you will repeat in your future in Starfleet.

Spock:
In the face of extinction, it is only logical that I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race...

Spock Prime:
And yet, you can be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I have already located a suitable planet in which to establish a Vulcan colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic. Do what feels right. [turns to leave] Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say... [shows Vulcan hand salute] Good luck.
