Scotty
- McCoy: [Kirk runs in to the engine room and sees Spock inside the reactor compartment. He rushes over but McCoy and Scotty hold him back] No! You'll flood the whole compartment!
- Kirk: He'll die!
- Scotty: Sir! He's dead already.
- McCoy: It's too late.
- [They let go and Kirk walks to the glass and pushes the intercom button]
- Kirk: Spock!
- [Spock slowly walks over to the glass and pushes the intercom]
- Spock: The ship... out of danger?
- Kirk: Yes.
- Spock: Do not grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many, outweigh...
- Kirk: The needs of the few.
- Spock: Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?
- Kirk: Spock.
- [Spock sits down]
- Spock: [Gasping] I have been... and always shall be... your friend.
- [he places a Vulcan salute on the glass]
- Spock: [Gasping] Live long... and prosper.
- [Spock dies]
- Kirk: No.
- Preston: I believe you'll find everything ship-shape, Admiral.
- Kirk: Oh, do you? Do you have any idea, Midshipman Preston, how many times I have had to listen to Mr. Scott on the comm, telling me his trouble? Do you have any idea of the ribbing I've had to endure in the officers' mess... to the effect that the Enterprise is a flying death trap?
- Preston: Oh, no sir! Wha... this is the finest engine room in the whole Starfleet! If the Admiral can't see the facts for himself, then, with all due respect, he's as blind as a Tiberian bat!
- Scotty: Ahem!
- Preston: Sir!
- Kirk: Midshipman, you're a tiger.
- Scotty: My sister's youngest, Admiral. Crazy to get to space.
- Kirk: Every young man's fantasy. Seem to remember it myself.
- Scotty: [one of his cadets has been killed] He stayed at his post when the trainees ran.
- Spock: [calling on the intercom] Admiral, this Spock.
- Kirk: Yes, Spock.
- Spock: Engine room reports auxiliary power restored. We can proceed at impulse power.
- Kirk: Best speed to Regula-1. Kirk out.
- McCoy: I'm sorry, Scotty.
- Kirk: An emergency situation has arisen. By order of Starfleet Command, as of now, 1800 hours, I'm assuming command of this vessel. Duty officer, so note in the ship's log. Plot a new course for space laboratory Regula-1. Engine room. Mr. Scott.
- Scotty: Aye, sir.
- Kirk: We'll be going to warp speed.
- Scotty: Aye, sir.
- Sulu: Course plotted for Regula-1, Admiral.
- Kirk: Engage warp engines.
- Saavik: Prepare for warp speed.
- Sulu: Ready, sir.
- Kirk: I know that none of you were expecting this. I'm sorry. I'm going to have to ask you to grow up a little bit sooner than you expected.
- Kirk: Scotty, what's left?
- Scotty: Just the battery, sir. I can have auxiliary power in a few minutes.
- Kirk: We don't have a few minutes! Can you give me phaser power?
- Scotty: A few short, sir.
- Spock: Not enough against their shields.
- Kirk: Who the hell are they?
- Commander Nyota Uhura: Admiral, the commander of the Reliant is signaling. He wishes to discuss terms of our surrender.
- Kirk: Put it on screen.
- Commander Nyota Uhura: Admiral...
- Kirk: Do it! While we still have time.
