Mirror Spock quotes from Star Trek: The Original Series

Kirk

What would you say the odds are on our getting out of here?

Spock

Difficult to be precise, Captain. I should say approximately seven thousand eight hundred twenty four point seven to one.

Kirk

Difficult to be precise? Seven thousand eight hundred and twenty four to one?

Spock

Seven thousand eight hundred twenty four point seven to one.

Kirk

That's a pretty close approximation.

Spock

I endeavor to be accurate.

Kirk

You do quite well.

Kirk

I'm embarrassed. I was furious with the Organians for stopping a war I didn't want. We think of ourselves as the most powerful beings in the universe. It's unsettling to discover that we're wrong.

Spock

Captain. It took millions of years for the Organians to evolve into what they are. Even the gods did not spring into being overnight. You and I have no reason to be embarrassed. We did, after all, beat the odds.

Kirk

Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Spock, we didn't beat the odds; we didn't have a chance. The Organians raided the game.

Kirk

Like Lazarus. Identical, yet both Lazarus. Except one is matter and the other antimatter. If they meet...

Spock

Annihilation Jim. Total, complete, absolute annihilation.

Kirk

My friend is obviously Chinese. I see you've noticed the ears. They're actually easy to explain.

Spock

Perhaps the unfortunate accident I had as a child.

Kirk

...The unfortunate accident he had as a child. He caught his head in a mechanical... rice picker.

Edith Keeler

You know as well as I do how out of place you two are around here.

Spock

Interesting. Where would you estimate we belong, Miss Keeler?

Edith Keeler

[to Spock] You? At his side. As if you've always been there and always will. [to Kirk] And you... you belong... in another place. I don't know where or how... I'll figure it out eventually.

Spock

I'll finish with the furnace.

Edith Keeler

'..., Captain.' Even when he doesn't say it, he does.

Spock

I am a Vulcan, doctor. Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled.

Kirk

You're only half Vulcan. What about the human half?

Spock

It is proving to be an inconvenience, but it is manageable.

Spock

I admire your curiosity Doctor, but I assure you I'm all right.

McCoy

You may be controlling the pain, Mr. Spock... but you're far from all right.

Spock

[presenting the first findings on the alien creature] Interesting, gentlemen. A one-cell creature resembling, more than anything else, a huge, individual brain cell.

Kirk

Yes. That would answer a lot of questions.

Spock

Do you understand what I'm suggesting, Captain?

Kirk

I think so. This may be one cell in a larger organism, an incredibly huge organism, in fact.

Spock

And although it is not physically connected to the other cells, it is, nevertheless, part of the whole creature, guided by the whole, drawing its strength from the whole, which probably accounts for its unusual resistance to our phaser weapons.

Kirk

Mr. Spock, regaining eyesight would be an emotional experience for most. You, I presume felt nothing?

Spock

Quite the contrary, Captain, I had a very strong reaction. My first sight was the face of Dr. McCoy bending over me.

McCoy

Hm, 'tis a pity brief blindness did not increase your appreciation for beauty, Mr. Spock.

McCoy

Come in, Spock. I'm all ready for you.

Spock

My orders were to report to Sickbay, Doctor. I have done so. And now I'll go to my quarters.

McCoy

My orders were to give you a thorough physical! In case you hadn't noticed, I have to answer to the same commanding officer that you do! [brief pause] Come on, Spock. Yield to the logic of the situation.

Live long and prosper, Spock.

Spock

I shall do neither. I have killed my captain... and my friend.

McCoy

There's just one thing, Mr. Spock. You can't tell me that when you first saw Jim alive that you weren't on the verge of giving us an emotional scene that would have brought the house down.

Spock

Merely my quite logical relief that Starfleet had not lost a highly proficient captain.

Kirk

Yes, Mr. Spock, I understand.

Spock

Thank you, Captain.

McCoy

Of course, Mr. Spock. Your reaction was quite logical...

Spock

Thank you, Doctor.

McCoy

...in a pig's eye!

Spock

That unit is a woman.

Nomad

A mass of conflicting impulses.

Kirk

We've got to get rid of it while it's trying to think.

Spock

Your logical was impeccable, Captain. We are in grave danger.

Kirk

How long before the Halkan prediction of Galactic revolt is realized?

Mirror Spock

Approximately 240 years.

Kirk

The inevitable outcome?

Mirror Spock

The Empire shall be overthrown, of course.

Kirk

The illogic of waste, Mr. Spock. The waste of lives, potential, resources, time... I submit to you that your Empire is illogical, because it cannot endure. I submit that you are illogical to being a willing part of it.
