Any smaller lines that gave you goosebumps?

Okay, I'm going to try, but I can't promise that I will remember these quotes word for word.
George Kirk: "Tiberius? No, that'd be the worst." Just the way he said it and laughed, even knowing he was about to die, made the character so endearing and tragic.
Amanda: "Whatever you choose to be, you will have a proud mother." I think Winona Ryder did a great job with her limited role, and the way she said this line made me realize why Spock loves her so much.
Nero: "WAIT! The hull. Magnify." When the helmsman zoomed in on the Enterprise, the audience had the same reaction as Nero. It was a moment of knowing. This ship was special.
Pike: "I am relieved." I love the way this line was delivered. I think Pike was genuinely happy to see his instincts about Kirk Jr. proved true, and he excelled in a way that made Pike proud like a father. In fact, Pike even said as much to Kirk: "You're father would be proud."
Uhura: "Tell me what you need." I thought this was a great, selfless comment on Uhura's part. I didn't mind the Spock/Uhura romance (except for the transporter scene), and I thought the scene in the elevator was moving.
McCoy: "Study, my ass." I loved how McCoy knows Kirk so well. That's the mark of a great friendship. I like how McCoy is wise to Kirk and Spock. His humanity just shines through.
Scotty: "Even if I did believe you, who you were, where you're from, which I don't, by the way . . ." I loved Scotty. I didn't mind the comedic lines he had because it just made him loveable immediately.
Sulu: (I can't think of the exact wording, but it's when the Enterprise is coming out of warp behind Nero's ship, and Sulu has Chekov turn over control of the Enterprise to him.) It was something like: "Give me one-quarter impulse power, I'll do the rest by hand - on my mark." It just showed Sulu's confidence in his abilities, especially considering his rocky start in leaving the brakes on. That scene demonstrated that Sulu truly was a fantastic pilot.
Chekov: ". . . I lost her . . " that was just a heartbreaking scene. Chekov was trying to lock onto the Vulcan party, and when he realizes that he lost Amanda, it was just devastating.
Spock: "Should I choose to complete the Vulcan discipline of Kolinahr and purge myself of all emotion, I trust that you will not feel it reflects judgement upon you." I loved that line from Spock. It showed me that Spock was really protective of his mother and her feelings and her feelings for him. He didn't want to disappoint her, which is why we all knew when the Vulcan council dissed his mother, the whole audience was pretty much waiting for Spock to say something.
Kirk: "Wait. Where you're from, did I know my father?" Just as Spock loved his mother, Kirk clearly was affected by the loss of his father. He was like a little boy in this scene when he asked the older Spock about his father. He was almost desperate to find out anything about him, and when Spock Prime confirmed that the Kirk from his world, not only knew his father, but that his father proudly lived to see him become captain of the Enterprise, you could see the concealed joy on Kirk's face.
Okay, that's all I can think of for now.

This one for sure. All the attention is, rightly, focused on Spock and Sarek. But watch Chekov's face. I think this is the first time he's dealt with death - not just the idea of it being at his hands (from his point of view) but that she was there... and now she's dead. He's devastated.
Or in the original Vulcan, ponfo mirann.
Seconded!
Almost in step with you. Same scene, different line. It was the line from Pike about 'Until you shut that thing down, the Enterprise won't be able to beam you up.'
When I heard it on a COMMERCIAL, before even seeing the movie, that was when it hit me - "Star Trek LIVES!"
I like the lines mentioned so far, but one that sticks out to me is when Sulu and Kirk rematerialize on the transporter pad , and Spock just walks onto the next platform and orders them to step,or roll, off the pad so he can beam to the surface.
And Kirk is like 'the surface of WHAT?Youre not going down there..." It says something about how dangerous it was for Spock when Kirk says its insane.
And Kirk is like 'the surface of WHAT?Youre not going down there..." It says something about how dangerous it was for Spock when Kirk says its insane.
Especially evident when Kirk actually asks him 'What about you?'
Pike: 'Errr, you'll just have to come get me then.'
Or something like that, his own fate was merely an after thought to him.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that link, makes Pike's line of thinking much more understandable.
Considering that he 'knew' exactly what was going to happen to him, he was pretty damn quick in thinking up a plan to take advantage where he could of the situation.
Yep, that line is somehow both steady and gut wrenching. It always hits me that this is his last personal interaction before his death.
The two times that Kirk said the word "weird" - the first time after Gaila said "I think I love you" in bed... "That is so weird". Then when the Jellyfish computer recognizes Spock and addresses him as Ambassador... "...that's weird". I don't really know if Kirk in the other timeline was clairvoyant in any way... but the two times I heard the word "weird" used was right before a major plot scene was going to take place. First time was before Uhura describes her transcription of a Klingon emergency message and the second time was Spock realizing that Kirk knows much more than he's telling him about their plan to destroy Nero...
Winona's first line... "That's George's voice, what's happening?" This helped the majority including me (the first time seeing the movie) who this "Mr. Kirk" was that Captain Robau was addressing in the turbolift.
Oh... is there any way to delete my two posts?... I just recognized that I just mentioned interesting smaller lines from the movie. NOT smaller lines that gave me goosebumps. Drat!
Don't worry about it
Although, it is a rule here not to do more than two posts at once - there should be an edit button on each of your posts, if you think of something else to add - just edit your first one.
