He's dead, Jim.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
That unit is a woman.
A mass of conflicting impulses.
You are the creator.
But I admit, I am imperfect. How could I have created a perfect being like you?
Answer unknown. I shall analyze... Analysis complete: Insufficient data to resolve problem.
I am the Kirk, the creator?
You are the creator.
You're WRONG! Jackson Roykirk, your creator, is DEAD, you have mistaken me for him! You are in error!... You did not discover your mistake, you have made TWO errors. You are flawed and IMPERFECT. And you have not corrected by sterilization, you have made THREE errors!
Error... Error... Error... Examine...
We've got to get rid of it while it's trying to think.
Your logical was impeccable, Captain. We are in grave danger.
Conquest is easy. Control is not.
How long before the Halkan prediction of Galactic revolt is realized?
Approximately 240 years.
The inevitable outcome?
The Empire shall be overthrown, of course.
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.
It is time.
In every revolution, there's one man with a vision.
Captain Kirk, I shall consider it.
One man cannot summon the future.
But one man can change the present.
What I don't understand is how you were able to identify our counterparts so quickly.
It was far easier for you as civilized men to behave like barbarians, than it was for them as barbarians to behave like civilized men. I assume they returned to their Enterprise at the same time you appeared here.
Probably. However, that Jim Kirk will find a few changes, if I read my Spocks correctly.
Jim, I think I liked him with a beard better. It gave him character. Of course, almost any change would be a distinct improvement.
What worries me is the easy way his counterpart fitted into that other universe. I always thought Spock was a bit of a pirate at heart.
Indeed, gentlemen. May I point out that I had an opportunity to observe your counterparts here quite closely. They were brutal, savage, unprincipled, uncivilized, treacherous; in every way, splendid examples of homo sapiens, the very flower of humanity. I found them quite refreshing. [he returns to the science station]
I'm not sure, but I think we've just been insulted.
I'm sure.
Are you trying to get yourself killed? Do you know how much Starfleet has invested in you?
One hundred, twenty-two thousand, two hundred—
Never mind. But… thanks.
Love. Strange words, "children," "love". What is love?
Love is when two people are-
Ah, the holding, the touching. Vaal has forbidden this.
Well there goes paradise.
And you'll learn something about men and women-- the way they're supposed to be. Caring for each other, being happy with each other, being good to each other. That's what we call... love. You'll like that, too, a lot.
Well, I don’t agree with you at all, Mr. Spock.
That's not unusual, Doctor.
It makes me homesick. Just like Russia.
More like the Garden of Eden, Ensign.
Of course, Doctor. The Garden of Eden was just outside Moscow. A wery nice place. It must have made Adam and Eve wery sad to leave.
[Sarcastically] Just....outside Moscow, all right.
