Spock quotes from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Spock

The rage that is in my thoughts, I let into my heart. [lets out a primal scream, then charges]

Spock

What the f--

Spock

Don't test me, Kirk! I will break you!

Spock

Sir, I would suggest knowledge of death is vital for effective leadership.

Christopher Pike

Knowledge is one thing, Spock, but I experienced it. How will it live in me? Will it make me hesitant? Cautious? Not cautious enough? I'm already second-guessing myself. And that's the last thing a captain can afford.

Spock

Suffering can be transformed into insight. You must seek out the good in knowing your own death. Use it to be the man you most essentially are.

Christopher Pike

And who's that, Spock?

Spock

The captain.

We have been in conflict with a seditious faction for centuries. This is our opportunity to end that conflict.

Spock

Through mass murder?

Have your people never put down civil unrest?

Christopher Pike

Negotiation. Debate. These are the tools to build a lasting peace.

Tell me: Are there groups who refuse to negotiate with you? Powerful groups?

Christopher Pike

Oh, yes.

And with those?

Christopher Pike

You remember that, when elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers. The Kikuyu people of Kenya, Africa, on Earth, they teach us that lesson every day.

You've given me a proverb, which is less useful than a big stick. Whoever has the biggest stick wins.

Spock

Thank you for your advice. If I can ever return the favor, please do not hesitate to ask.

Nurse Christine Chapel

What are friends for?

Spock

[whispers] "What are friends for..."

Nurse Christine Chapel

That was a rhetorical, Spock.

Spock

[a beat] Oh, I know. Humans are almost as easy to tease as Vulcans.

Spock

[in T'Pring's body] You must answer (the door). These are my quarters. Anyone who comes here will expect me to answer the door.

[in Spock's body] I know how a door works. [door chimes] If they go away, that may give us enough time to fix this situation.

Spock

[in T'Pring's body] Logic suggests the easiest way to get them to go away is for you to answer while pretending to be me.

[in Spock's body] Spock, I do not like hijinks.

Spock

[in T'Pring's body] In that, we are in agreement. But it appears that hijinks are the most logical course of action.

Hemmer

[to Queen Neve (Cadet Uhura)] Turn away now, or I'll unleash the full power of my powerful wizard... powers. I'll... I'll... I'll... send you to the Event Horizon. A dark realm full of chaos and monsters and... [struggles for words]

[aside to Queen Neve] There is no such place, my Queen. He's bluffing.

Hemmer

ABRA... KADABRA!! [presses a communicator button; Queen Neve and her minions are transported away]

Dr. M'Benga

Nice wizard powers.

Hemmer

I found this in Sickbay. I set it to trigger the transporter. They're in Cargo Bay 12. [speaking dramatically] Once again, the magic of SCIENCE prevails!! [normally, to M'benga] Too much? I know.

The anomalies, is that what's killing our comms?

Spock

Negative, Ensign. It is the ionic interference that prevents long-range communications.

Sam Kirk

[pleased] Drink. You owe him a drink, Spock.

Nurse Christine Chapel

Duke's a lieutenant now. Call him an ensign, you gotta buy him a drink. Starfleet tradition.

Spock

Another human drinking game. Does their number have no limit?

Sam Kirk

Nope.

Spock

[assuming command of the commandeered Enterprise] The Cajitar system. Warp factor five.

Lt. Erica Ortegas

You gonna say it? Your thing?

Spock

My what?

Lt. Erica Ortegas

Your thing. You know. Everyone in the chair has their thing.

Captain Pike always says "Hit it."

My last captain like to say "Zoom".

Spock

Must I have a thing? [to Ortegas] Do you have a thing?

Lt. Erica Ortegas

Well, I've been workshopping vámonos. But, it's supposed to be about you. What kind of commander are you? All that. So, no presh.

Spock

I would like to go. Now.

Spock

Vulcans can be such jerks.

Spock

It felt like you needed that. Did I read the moment wrong?

Chapel

No! It was really nice. It wasn't typical for you.

Spock

Is that okay?

Chapel

Um, how's... feeling going?

Spock

It's a lot. I'm still getting used to it. It's not all bad; sometimes, I don't cry in the shower. Kidding! Sorry. I'm fine. I'll be fine.

Christopher Pike

Run me through it again.

Spock

Respectfully, sir, there is nothing to run through. Given a longer time frame, I might be able to brute force a solution, but as of now, there is no way to track the Orions.

Brad Boimler

Uh, I know how to track the Orions.

La'an Noonien-Singh

Didn't we talk about that?

Brad Boimler

Yes, uh, using future knowledge, yes I know I shouldn't, but um, what if I could use it, and you guys just, um... don't look?

Una Chin-Riley

[laughs] That's ridiculous. We can't just not look... can we?

Una Chin-Riley

We sure this is wise?

Christopher Pike

No, but I'm going with it.

Lt. Erica Ortegas

I can't believe all this time, we have been walking over a piece of history. I'm a huge fan of Travis Mayweather. First pilot of the NX-01. My middle school gym was named after him.

Hoshi Sato was on that ship, too. You know she spoke 86 languages? I wrote three papers on her at the Academy.

Lt. Erica Ortegas

[realizing] Are we sounding like...?

[referring to Boimler and Mariner] Them?

Spock

Indeed. It is exhausting.

Spock

Imagine an area of space where quantum uncertainties collapse so rapidly and randomly that new realities are created. In one such reality, people sing uncontrollably.

Pelia

A musical reality.

Spock

Indeed.

La'an

So, what's next? More improbability? Or will we just suddenly poof into bunnies?

Dr. M'Benga

I would prefer not to be a bunny, either.

Spock

[The Gorn] do not appear to notice the shuttle.

Because they look like space garbage. Old zombie movie trick.

Spock

"Zombie" movie?

Una Chin-Riley

Yeah. Dress up like you're dead so the zombies don't notice you. You never seen one?

Spock

A zombie, no. A movie, yes. But I will add some to my research.
