Spock quotes from Star Trek: The Animated Series

Spock

I am pleasantly surprised at your capacity for deductive reasoning, Captain. When you are not being bellicose, there appears to be no end to your arsenal of formidable talents.

My apologies, visitor. I regret you were witness to that unfortunate display of emotion on the part of my son.

Spock

In the family, all is silence. No more will be said of it. Live long and prosper, Sarek of Vulcan.

Spock

The brain could be completely destroyed if we convert the entire ship to energy aimed at the brain's cortex and expend the energy in one mortal strike.

McCoy

That sounds like you're telling us to blow up the ship.

Spock

I believe that is what I just said, Doctor.

Spock

The form is humanoid. There are many internal differences. Their bodies appear to function on an unusual psychokinesis level.

McCoy

First time I ever admired a body function.

This isn't easy, you know. Holding us together like this, it's not even natural.

McCoy

Being in one place is very natural where we come from.

Spock

I find this all quite absorbing, Doctor.

McCoy

Probably because you're not very natural to begin with, Spock.

Spock

Lucien, you alone of all those here do not seem to fear or hate humans. Why?

They are like me. With questions to be answered, with minds that range outwards, boundless. But every Megan is always alone in his sphere of knowledge. Humans are always together. They share. That is why I adopted your ship when I saw it arrive.

McCoy

You think Lucien really was the demon some men call Lucifer?

Kirk

Does it really matter, Bones?

Spock

It just might, Captain. If he was, this would be the second time Lucifer was cast out. And thanks to you, the first time he was saved.

Spock

The Queen of Hearts and her cards are characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass, Captain.

Kirk

I read the book as a child, Mr. Spock, but I wasn't aware you indulged in the literature of fantasy.

Spock

Light reading is considered relaxing, Captain. My mother was particularly fond of Lewis Carroll's work.

McCoy

What about you, Spock? What does your logic tell you?

Spock

The captain states the case emotionally, of course, but correctly. I would be of little value to this ship if I am confined to a tank in Sickbay.

Spock

Consider. Chuft Captain has been attacked by an herbivorous pacifist, an eater of leaves and roots, one who traditionally does not fight. And the ultimate insult, I left him alive. Chuft Captain's honor is at stake. He must seek personal revenge before he can call for help.

That gives us some time. You did plan it that way?

Spock

Of course.

Kirk

The captain of a ship, no matter his rank, must follow the book.

Spock

A capability, I'm afraid, out of the reach of most humans.

McCoy

You Vulcans are the most impossible, unimaginative...

Kirk

Bones, that's not helping the situation.

Close

Spock

Far too close, Captain. I appreciate your action on my behalf, but your first duty is to the group and the mission.

Kirk

Quite right, Spock. And that responsibility includes not losing the best science officer in Starfleet.

You two going to argue honors or are we going to get on with it?

Kirk

Now, now, Demos. You're hardly in a position to take on an entire crew.

And you are not in authority to conduct an investigation in our star system.

Kirk

You will remind me to report my conduct to the Federation, won't you, Mr. Spock?

Spock

Of course, Captain.
