Star Trek Quote

Christopher Pike : You know I couldn't believe it when the bartender told me who you are.
James T. Kirk : Who am I, Captain Pike?
Christopher Pike : Your father's son.
James T. Kirk : [ Turns toward the bar ] Can I get another one?
Christopher Pike : For my dissertation, I was assigned the USS Kelvin. Something I admired about your Dad. He didn't believe in no-win scenarios
James T. Kirk : Sure learned his lesson!
Christopher Pike : Well, it depends on how you define winning. You're here aren't you?
James T. Kirk : [ as beer is brought to him ] Thanks.
Christopher Pike : You know that instinct to leap without looking, that was his nature too. And in my opinion it's something Star Fleet's lost.
James T. Kirk : [ laughing ] Why are you talkin' to me, man?
Christopher Pike : 'Cause I looked up your file while you were drooling on the floor. Your aptitude tests are off the charts, so what is it? You like being the only genius level repeat offender in the Midwest?
James T. Kirk : Maybe I love it.
Christopher Pike : Look, so your Dad died. You can settle for a less than ordinary life. Or do you feel like you were meant for something better? Something special? Enlist in Star Fleet.
James T. Kirk : [ scoffs ] Enlist! [ laughing ]
James T. Kirk : You guys must be way down on your recruiting quota for the month!
Christopher Pike : You know if you're half the man your father was, Jim Star Fleet could use you. You could be an officer in four years. You could have your own ship in eight. You understand what the Federation is don't you? It's important. It's a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada.
James T. Kirk : We done?
