Kirk: (shaking his head in false cheer) Why are you talkin' to me, man?
(Okay--NOW it's--)
(Okay--NOW it's--)
Captain Pike: Cause I looked up your file while you drooling on the floor, your aptatute tests are off the scale. So what is it? Do you like being the only genuis level repeater? (did I get it right? Stop the nit-picking ok?)
^Steady, Ensign. I did it for you. You're fine.

Enlist in Starfleet.

Enlist in Starfleet.
Kirk (laughing): Enlist??? You guys must be way down on your recruiting quota for the month!
Pike: If you're half the man your Father was , Jim, Starfleet could use you. You can be an Officer in four years. You can have your own ship in eight. You understand what the Federation is, don't you? It's important. It's a peace-keeping and humanitarian armada.

Pike: (gets up) Riverside Shipyard. Shuttle for new recruits leaves tomorrow--0800.
(Kirk dryly salutes him with his beer)
(Pike looks down for a moment, and smiles)
...Now, your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives--including your mother's...and yours.
I dare you to do better.
(He leaves, and Jimbo picks up a Kelvin salt-shaker, staring at it for a very long time....)

Random worker: Nice bike.

Kirk: It's yours (throws worker the keys).
(to Pike) Four years? I'll do it in three.
(boards the shuttlecraft. Looks around, sees Cupcake and friends)
At ease gentlemen.

(to Uhura) Never did get that first name.
