• Sarek : Kirk, I thank you. What you have done is...

  Kirk : What I have done, I had to do.

  Sarek : But at what cost? Your ship. Your son.

  Kirk : If I hadn't tried, the cost would have been my soul.

• Vulcan High Priestess : Sarek! Child of S'kon, child of So'kar! The body of your son breathes still. What is your wish?

  Sarek : I ask for fal tor pan: the refusion.

  Vulcan High Priestess : What you seek has not been done in ages past and then, only in legend. Your request is not logical.

  Sarek : Forgive me, T'layr. My logic is uncertain where my son is concerned.

  Vulcan High Priestess : Who is the keeper of the katra?

  McCoy : I am. McCoy, Leonard H, son of David.

  Vulcan High Priestess : McCoy, son of David, since thou art human, we cannot expect thee to fully comprehend what Sarek has requested. Spock's body lives: with your approval, we shall use all our powers to return to his body that which you possess.

  Vulcan High Priestess : But McCoy, you must now be warned. The danger to thyself is as grave as the danger to Spock. You must make the choice.

  McCoy : I choose the danger. Hell of a time to ask.

• Sarek : You must bring them to Mount Seleyah, on Vulcan. Only there can both find peace.

  Kirk : What you ask... is difficult.

  Sarek : You will find a way, Kirk. If you honor them both, you must.

  Kirk : I will. I swear.

• Sarek : Forgive me, it is not here. I had assumed he mind-melded with you. It is the Vulcan way when the body's end is near.

  Kirk : We were separated. He couldn't touch me.

  Sarek : I see. Then, everything that he was... everything he knew... is lost.

  Kirk : [Sarek turns to go]  Please wait. He would have found a way. If there were that much at stake, Spock would have found a way.

  Sarek : Yes. But how?

  Kirk : What if he joined with someone else?

• Kirk : [Sarek angrily confronts Kirk about Spock]  Ambassador. I would had come to Vulcan to express my deepest sympathies.

  Sarek : Spare me your human platitutes, Kirk. I have been to your government and I've seen the Genesis information and your report.

  Kirk : Then you know how bravely your son met his death.

  Sarek : Why did you leave him on Genesis? Spock trusted you! and you denied him his future.

  Kirk : I saw no future.

  Sarek : Only his body was in death, Kirk! and you were the last one to be with him.

  Kirk : Yes! I was.

  Sarek : And you must know that you should had to come with him to Vulcan.

  Kirk : But - why?

  Sarek : Because he asked you too! He entrusted you! With his very esscence. With everything that was not of the body. He asked you to bring him to us and to bring that which he gave you. His Katra. His living spirit.

  Kirk : Sir. Your son meant to me more than you could know. I would had given my life if I could save his. Believe me when I tell you, he made no request of me.

  Sarek : He would not had spoken of it openly.

• Kirk : [28:56] 

  [figuring out who Spock mind-melded with before his death] 

  Kirk : McCoy!

  Sarek : One alive, one not, yet both in pain.

• Sarek : [mind-melding with Kirk]  He spoke of your friendship.

  Kirk : Yes.

  Sarek : Asked you not to grieve.

  Kirk : Yes.

  Sarek : The needs of the many... outweigh...

  Kirk : The needs of the few.

  Sarek : Or the one.

  Kirk : Spock.

  Sarek : I have been... and always shall be... your friend. Live long... and prosper.
