[Spock notices a elder Vulcan walking in the docking bay] Spock:
Father! [the elder Vulcan turns and is revealed as Spock Prime] Spock Prime:
I am not our father. [Young Spock, now recognizing who he is, approaches] Spock Prime:
There are so few Vulcans left, we cannot afford to ignore each other. Spock:
Then why did you send Kirk aboard when you alone could have explained the truth? Spock Prime:
Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize. Spock:
How did you persuade him to keep your secret? Spock Prime:
He inferred that universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise. Spock:
You lied. Spock Prime:
Aww... I... I implied. Spock:
A gamble. Spock Prime:
An act of faith. One I hope that you will repeat in your future in Starfleet. Spock:
In the face of extinction, it is only logical that I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race. Spock Prime:
And, yet, you can be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I have already located a suitable planet on which to establish a Vulcan colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic. Do what feels right. [Spock Prime turns and leaves] Spock Prime:
Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say... [Shows Vulcan hand salute] Spock Prime:
Good luck
