• Captain Christopher Pike : I'm very glad to see you.

  Spock : But you saw me only moments ago,

  Captain Christopher Pike : Right.

  Spock : You left the briefing suddenly. It was uncharacteristic.

  Captain Christopher Pike : Was it?

  Spock : But now, your demeanor appears changed. Having heard the boy's name, I cannot help but wonder if this pertains to your future.

  Captain Christopher Pike : Let's just say I think the universe is telling me that some fates are inescapable. And even if I could get out of mine, it might just fall to someone else.

  Spock : Someone you know?

  Captain Christopher Pike : Yes.

  Spock : Is that why you are very glad to see me? I believe I may owe you a debt of gratitude, Captain. Although for precisely what, I do not know.

• Spock : Approaching this logically, time travel seems a less likely solution than that you are compromised mentally. And as your first officer, in these circumstances, it is my job to assume command.

• Captain Christopher Pike : Do you want some coffee?

  Spock : I do not drink coffee. I do drink tea.

  Captain Christopher Pike : All right. Would you like some tea?

  Spock : No, thank you, Captain.

• Spock : All we can surmise is that in the prime future, some other captain of the Enterprise must have commanded it differently. Thus, it is imperative you do not change what you would normally do on the ship.

  Captain Christopher Pike : I thought we were trying to avoid a terrible future.

  Spock : We are trying to discover why this future is, in the estimation of your older self, worse.
