Quotes 

• Spock : I've never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question.

• Capt. Kirk : [Everybody is now safely back aboard Starship 'Enterprise']  We haven't heard much from you about Omicron Ceti III, Mr. Spock.

  Spock : I have little to say about it, captain. Except that... for the first time in my life... I was happy.

• Leila Kolomi : You never told me if you had another name, Mr Spock?

  Spock : You couldn't pronounce it.

• Spock : I have a responsibility to this ship, to that man on the bridge. I am what I am, Leila. If there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else's.

• Spock : Captain, striking a fellow officer is a court-martial offense.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Well, if we're both in the brig, who's going to build the subsonic transmitter?

  Spock : That is quite logical, captain.

• Capt. Kirk : We're evacuating all colonists to Starbase 27.

  Spock : No, I don't think so.

  Capt. Kirk : You don't think so, WHAT?

  Spock : I don't think so, SIR.

• Captain James T. Kirk : I had to make you angry enough to shake off their influence. That's the answer, Mr. Spock.

  Spock : That may be correct, Captain, but trying to initiate a brawl with over 500 crewmen and colonists is hardly logical.

  Captain James T. Kirk : I had something else in mind.

• Capt. Kirk : Mr. Spock, there were 150 men, women and children in that colony. What're the chances of survivors?

  Spock : Absolutely none, Captain. Berthold Rays are such a recent discovery, we do not yet have full knowledge of their nature. It is known, however, that living animal tissue disintegrates under exposure. Sandoval's group could not have survived after three years.
