Kirk enters Spock's quarters. Spock lays on his bunk, staring out at an overhead porthole, contemplative, meditative. They start discussing previous events and prejudices. Then the subject switches over to personal and command accountability, where Kirk states that Spock was responsible for no one's actions but his own.
Spock: That is not what you said at your trial.
Kirk: Well, that was as captain of the Enterprise. Human beings--
Spock: But as we both know, I am not human.
Kirk: You wanna know something, Spock? Everyone's human.
Spock: (raises an eyebrow) I find that remark-- insulting.
Kirk: You would've loved your own funeral then, Spock.
(ok...the space battle, the rescue of the Federation President, and the big good bye has all happened)
(cut to Kirk's quarters. Kirk has called up a video playback of Spock's funeral, years ago. We see the backs of Kirk's and Spock's heads in silhouette, ala MST3K as they watch the video.)
Kirk on screen: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most-- human!
Spock's silhouetted head turns to look at Kirk.
Spock: If I were human, I believe my response would be: "You, sir, are a real bastard!"
