Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Page #7

"Tickle us, do we not laugh?

Prick us, do we not bleed?

"Wrong us,

"shall we not revenge?"

Gas.

Gas, Captain. Under impulse power,

she expends fuel like any other vessel.

We call it plasma,

but whatever the Klingon designation,

it is merely ionized gas.

Well, what about all

of that equipment we're carrying

to catalogue gaseous anomalies?

-Well, the thing's gotta have a tailpipe.

-Doctor, would you care to assist me

-in performing surgery on a torpedo?

-Fascinating.

Hard to starboard!

The proposed agenda is as follows.

The total evacuation of Kronos

has been calculated

within the 50-Earth-year time span.

Phase one, preparation for evacuation.

Come on, reach up!

Captain! She's packing quite a wallop!

Shields weakening!

Shields up. All right.

Now we've given them

something else to shoot at.

Aye, sir.

The game's afoot, huh?

-Excelsior's been hit.

-"Our revels now are ended," Kirk.

"Cry 'Havoc!'

and let slip the dogs of war."

Bones, where's my torpedo?

Bet you wish you'd stood in bed.

Emergency power!

Gravity control down!

Shields collapsing!

The key, please, Doctor. Time is short.

The hull has been compromised.

-I wonder how bad?

-Connect echobars.

...to discuss the report on phase two.

-Alter circuit "A."

-Sensor.

I propose that we commence

with the minutes of the preparation.

"I am constant as the northern star."

I'd give real money if he'd shut up.

-Plate, please.

-Plate.

...and assimilation will consume...

We've got a heartbeat.

The Klingon empire, the ecological...

-Key, please.

-Key.

Where's that damn torpedo?

She's ready, Jim. Lock and load.

Fire.

To be,

or not

to be.

Target that explosion and fire.

Fire.

As I imagine this work will occupy us

throughout most of the week,

it would be my hope

that the delegation

could return to their capitals

to implement the provisions

of phase one,

no later than the first of next month.

Scotty.

As you know, time is of the essence.

-Out of the way!

-Out of the way!

Mr President!

Mr President! Mr President!

Mr President!

Kirk, Enterprise.

Protect the Chancellor!

-Arrest those men!

-Arrest yourself.

We've got a full confession.

Cartwright, just a minute.

What's happened?

What's the meaning of all of this?

It's about the future, Madam Chancellor.

Some people think the future

means the end of history.

Well, we haven't run out

of history quite yet.

Your father called the future

the undiscovered country.

People can be very frightened

of change.

You've restored my father's faith.

And you've restored my son's.

Once again, we've saved civilisation

as we know it.

And the good news is,

they're not going to prosecute.

They might as well have prosecuted me.

I felt like Lieutenant Valeris.

Well, they don't arrest people

for having feelings.

And it's a good thing, too. If they did,

we'd all have to turn ourselves in.

Captain Kirk.

Captain Sulu.

As much to the crew of the Enterprise,

I owe you my thanks.

Nice to see you in action

one more time, Captain Kirk.

Take care.

By God, that's a big ship.

-Not so big as her captain, I think.

-So, this is goodbye.

I think it's about time

we got underway ourselves.

Captain, I have orders

from Starfleet Command.

We're to put back

to spacedock immediately

to be decommissioned.

If I were human,

I believe my response would be,

"Go to hell."

If I were human.

Course heading, Captain?

Second star to the right,

and straight on till morning.

Captain's Log, Stardate 9529.1.

This is the final cruise

ofthe Starship Enterprise

under my command.

This ship and her history will shortly

become the care of another crew.

To them and their posterity

will we commit our future.

They will continue the voyages

we have begun,

and journey to all

the undiscovered countries,

boldly going where no man...

Where no one
