Kirk: "You're about to remind me that logic alone dictates your actions."
Spock: "I would not remind you of that which you know so well... If I may be so bold, it was a mistake for you to accept promotion. Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny. Anything else is a waste of material."
Kirk: "I would not presume to debate you."
Spock: "That is wise. In any case, were I to invoke logic, logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Kirk: "Or the one."
Spock: "You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been, and always shall be yours."
Spock: "Really, Doctor McCoy, you must learn to govern your passions - they

McCoy: "Logic?! My God... the man's talking about logic! We're talking about universal Armageddon! You green-blooded,

Kirk: "I don't believe in a no-win scenario..."
Kirk: "That young man, he's my son!"
Spock: (wearily) "Fascinating."
Such an amazingly literate script.
