"Your place was in command, Spock. 'The needs of the many...'"

"That is cold comfort when a parent's life is threatened, Father."

"It is fortunate for me that you are so gullible."

"Gullible!"

"Gullible. Anyone could see that Captain Kirk was much too pale to command. Your desire to help me clouded your thinking."

"I didn't expect a Starfleet officer to lie to my face."

"Like I said, my son. Gullible."

"My duty was to stay on the bridge. Saving you was Dr. McCoy's duty."

"And being gullible helped you to fulfill your filial duty."

"Father, please find another word!"
