Leonard Nimoy: Mr. Spock

The Savage Curtain

Mr. Spock

Dr. McCoy: You're the science officer. Why aren't you... well, doing whatever a science officer does at a time like this?
Mr. Spock: I am, Doctor. I am observing the alien.

Mr. Spock: As I turned and my eyes beheld you, I displayed emotion. I beg forgiveness.

Captain James T. Kirk: [after Kirk, Spock, and Lincoln materialize on the planet, but Kirk and Spock's tricorder and phasers did not, and their communicators are no longer functioning] Your explanation, sir?
Abraham Lincoln: I have none. To me, this seems quite as it should be.
Captain James T. Kirk: Why were our weapons taken? Why can't we communicate with our ship?
Abraham Lincoln: Please believe me. I know nothing other than what I already told you.
Captain James T. Kirk: The game is over. We've treated you with courtesy. We've gone along with what and who you think you are.
Abraham Lincoln: Despite the seeming contradictions, all is as it appears to be. I am Abraham Lincoln.
Surak: Just as I am whom I appear to be.
Mr. Spock: Surak.
Captain James T. Kirk: Who?
Mr. Spock: The greatest of all who ever lived on our planet, Captain. The father of all we became.

Mr. Spock: [checking the sensors] Fascinating. For a moment it appeared almost... mineral, like living rock with heavy foreclaws. Settling down now to completely human readings.
Scott: We can beam IT aboard anytime now, sir.

Mr. Spock: There's no doubt they want us down there for some hidden purpose, otherwise they would have revealed some logical reason for all of this.
Captain James T. Kirk: Why Lincoln, Spock? Any speculation on that?
Mr. Spock: Speculation is unnecessary, Captain. The answer is clear. President Lincoln has always been a very personal hero to you. What better way to titillate your curiosity than to make him come alive for you.

Surak: [holding up his right hand in the Vulcan Salute] Live long and prosper, Mr. Spock. May you also, Captain Kirk.
Mr. Spock: It is not logical that you are Surak. There is no fact, extrapolation of fact, or theory, which would make possible...
Surak: Whatever I am, would it harm you to give response?
Mr. Spock: [holding up his right hand in the Vulcan Salute] Live long and prosper, image of Surak, father of all we now hold true.
Surak: The "image of Surak" read in your face what is in your mind, Spock.
Mr. Spock: As I turned and my eyes beheld you, I displayed emotion. I beg for forgiveness.
Surak: The cause was more than sufficient. Let us speak no further of it. In my time, we knew not of earth men. I am pleased to see that we have differences. May we together become greater than the sum of both of us.
Captain James T. Kirk: Spock, we will not go along with these charades any longer.
