Spock : Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 2258.42. We have had no word from Captain Pike. I therefore classified him as a hostage of the war criminal known as Nero. Nero, who has destroyed my home planet and most of its six billion inhabitants. While the essence of our culture has been saved in the elders who now reside upon this ship, I estimate that only about 10,000 Vulcans have survived. I am now a member of an endangered species.

Christopher Pike : Lieutenant, where is Helmsman McKenna?
Hikaru Sulu : He has lungworms, sir. He couldn't report to his post. I'm Hikaru Sulu.

Hikaru Sulu : Very much so, sir.
Hikaru Sulu : [ he trails off, hitting buttons ]

Scotty : He's out of it [ later, he realizes Spock was right ]

Movie: Star Trek
James T. Kirk : [ to Spock ] The test itself is a cheat, isn't it? I mean you program it to be unwinnable.
Spock : Your argument precludes the possibility of a no-win scenario.
James T. Kirk : I don't believe in no-win scenarios.
Spock : Then not only did you violate the rules, you also fail to understand the principal lesson.
James T. Kirk : Please enlighten me.
Spock : You of all people should know, Cadet Kirk, a captain cannot cheat death.
James T. Kirk : [ reminiscing ] I of all people...
Spock : Your father, Lieutenant George Kirk, assumed command of his vessel before being killed in action, did he not?
James T. Kirk : I don't think you like the fact that I beat your test...
Spock : Furthermore, you have failed to define the purpose of the test.
James T. Kirk : Enlighten me again.
Spock : The purpose is to experience fear, fear in the face of certain death, to accept that fear, and maintain control of oneself and one's crew. This is the quality expected in every Starfleet captain.

Spock : Yes, of course I did.
James T. Kirk : So are you afraid or aren't you?
Spock : I will not allow you to lecture me about the merits of emotion.
James T. Kirk : Then why don't you stop me?
Spock : Step away from me, Mister Kirk.
James T. Kirk : What is it like not to feel anger... or heartbreak... or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the death of the woman that gave birth to you?
Spock : Back away from me.
James T. Kirk : You feel nothing! It must not even compute for you! You never loved her! [ Spock snaps and attacks Kirk, nearly killing him ]
Sarek : SPOCK! [ Spock regains control ]

Movie: Star Trek
Amanda Grayson : There's no need to be anxious. You'll do fine.
Spock : I am hardly anxious, Mother. And "fine" has variable definitions. "Fine" is unacceptable.
Amanda Grayson : Okay.
Spock : May I ask a personal query?
Amanda Grayson : Anything.
Spock : Should I choose to complete the Vulcan discipline of Kolinahr and purge all emotion, I trust you will not feel it reflects judgment on you.
Amanda Grayson : Spock. As always, whatever you choose to be, you will have a proud mother.
