See?!
It's okay that you don't have that one down. It wasn't scripted, according to Nimoy in the Special Edition Commentary, they just had a bunch of extras walking past Koenig and Nichols, this woman responded. They had to hunt her down an sign her to a contract so they could use it in the movie. Actually, now that I think about it, they may have just been regular folks, not knowing they were on film, somebody know for sure?
* I'm sorry. I gotta do the whole song.
Stereo: Just where is our future, the things we've done and said!
let's just push the button, we'd be better off dead!
'Cause I hate you!
And I berate you!
And I can't wait to get to you!
(Turns the volume up)
The System of our fathers is dumped on us, the sons.
The only choice we're given how many megatons?
and I eschew you!
and I say (Flips the finger) screw you!
and I hope you're blue, too. (Neck Pinch)
We're bloody worthless-- (SLAM!)

Kirk: Oh, the complete works of Jaqueline Suzanne. The Novels of Harold Robbins...
Gillian: Oh, here I go. Good morning. I'm your guide this morning; my name's Dr. Gillian Taylor, but you can call me Gillian. I'm Assistant Director of the Maritime Cetacean Institute. Please follow me and just give a yell if you can't hear, okay? The Cetacean Institute is the only museum in the world exclusively devoted to whales. As you can see we have a great seal to offer, but that is small compared to what we know -- or rather what wee don't know about whales. The first commonly held misconception is that whales are fish. They're not; they're mammals like us. Warm-blooded, needing air to breathe and producing milk to nurse their young.
Finishing line:
Gillian: To put it mildly. Since the dawn of time, men have harvested whales for a variety of purposes, most of which can be achieved synthetically at this point. One hundred years ago, using hand-thrown harpoons, they did plenty of damage -- but that was nothing compared to what they've achieved in this century. This is mankind's legacy: whales hunted to the brink of extinction. Virtually gone is the Blue Whale, the largest creature ever to inhabit the Earth. Despite all attempts at banning whaling, there are still countries and pirates currently engaged in the slaughter of these inoffensive creatures. Where the humpback whale once numbered in the hundreds of thousands, today there are less than ten thousand specimens alive and those that are taken are no longer fully grown. In addition, many of the females are killed, while still bearing unborn calves.
And my line:
Spock: To hunt a species to extinction is not logical.

Gillian: Whoever said the human race was logical? Now if you'll follow me please, I'll introduce you to the institute's pride and joy. (Outside) This is the largest sea water tank in the world and it contains the only two humpback whales in captivity. They are mature humpbacks weighing 45,000 pounds each. They wandered into San Francisco Bay area as calves and were brought here. We call them George and Gracy. (Laughter)
