Leonard Nimoy: Mister Spock

Quotes 

• Mr. Spock : I picked this up from Dr. McCoy's log. We have a crew member aboard who's showing signs of stress and fatigue, reaction time down 9-12%, associational rating norm minus 3.

  Captain James T. Kirk : That's much too low a rating.

  Mr. Spock : He's becoming irritable and quarrelsome, yet he refuses to take rest and rehabilitation.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Mm-hm.

  Mr. Spock : Now, he has that right, but we've found...

  Captain James T. Kirk : A crewman's right ends where the safety of the ship begins. Now, that man will go ashore on my orders. What's his name?

  Mr. Spock : James Kirk. Enjoy yourself, Captain.

• Mr. Spock : On my planet, "to rest" is to rest, to cease using energy. To me it is quite illogical to run up and down on green grass USING energy instead of saving it.

• Mr. Spock : [through intercom]  Any chance these could be hallucinations?

  Captain James T. Kirk : [speaking into communicator]  One hallucination flattened me with a clout on the jaw.

• Mr. Spock : Dr. McCoy is correct, Captain. After what this ship has been through in the last three months, there is not a crewman aboard who's not in need of rest. Myself excepted, of course.

• Mr. Spock : [seeing Captain Kirk knock Finnegan unconscious]  Did you enjoy it, Captain?

  Captain James T. Kirk : Yes, I enjoyed it... after all these years. I DID enjoy it! The one thing I wanted to do, after all these years, was beat the tar out of Finnegan.

  Mr. Spock : Which supports a theory I've been formulating.
