Star Trek Quote
[ Spock notices a elder Vulcan walking in the docking bay ]
Spock : Father! [ the elder Vulcan turns and is revealed as Spock Prime ]
Spock Prime : I am not our father. [ Young Spock, now recognizing who he is, approaches ]
Spock Prime : There are so few Vulcans left. We cannot afford to ignore each other.
Spock : Then why did you send Kirk aboard, when you alone could have explained the truth?
Spock Prime : Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.
Spock : How did you persuade him to keep your secret?
Spock Prime : He inferred that universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise.
Spock : You lied.
Spock Prime : I... I implied.
Spock : A gamble.
Spock Prime : An act of faith. One I hope that you will repeat in your future in Starfleet.
Spock : In the face of extinction, it is only logical that I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race.
Spock Prime : And, yet, you can be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I have already located a suitable planet in which to establish a Vulcan colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic. Do what feels right. [ Spock Prime turns and leaves ]
Spock Prime : Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say... [ Shows Vulcan hand salute ]
Spock Prime : Good luck.
