Quotes 

• Capt. Kirk : They were humanitarians and statesmen, and they had a dream, a dream that became a reality and spread throughout the stars, a dream that made Mr. Spock and me brothers.

  Garth : Mr. Spock, do you consider Capt. Kirk and yourself brothers?

  Mr. Spock : Capt. Kirk speaks somewhat figuratively and with undue emotion; however, what he says is logical, and I do, in fact, agree with it.

• Mr. Spock : [about Marta]  She seems to have worked out an infallible method for assuring permanent male fidelity. Interesting.

• Mr. Spock : Spock to Enterprise.

  Scott : [over communicator]  Enterprise here. Queen to Queen's level three.

  Mr. Spock : Queen to King's level one.

• Garth : [as Marta dances]  Marvelous, isn't she, Captain?

  Capt. Kirk : Yes, uh... incredible.

  Garth : What is your reaction, Mr. Spock?

  Mr. Spock : Well, I find it, um... mildly interesting and somewhat nostalgic, if I understand the use of that word.

  Garth : Nostalgic?

  Mr. Spock : Yes, it is somewhat reminiscent of the dances that Vulcan children do in nursery school.

• Mr. Spock : How could you, a starship fleet captain, believe that a Federation crew would blindly obey your order to destroy the entire Antos race, a people famous for their benevolence and peaceful pursuits?

  Garth : That was my only miscalculation.

• Garth : Marta, my dear, won't you dance for our guests.

  Captain James T. Kirk : That's very magnanimous of you.

  Garth : Well, you'll find that I am magnanimous to friends and merciless to enemies. And, I want you, both of you, to be my friends.

  Mr. Spock : On what precisely is our friendship to be based?

  Garth : Well, upon the firmest of foundations, Mr. Spock: enlightened self interest.

• Mr. Spock : [speaking of Marta's dance]  Yes, it is somewhat reminiscent of the dances that Vulcan children do in nursery school. Of course the children are not so

  [pauses slightly] 

  Mr. Spock : well coordinated.
