Vulcan Council President: You have surpassed the expectations of your instructors. Your final record is flawless, with one exception: I see that you have applied to Starfleet as well. Spock: It was logical to cultivate multiple options. Vulcan Council President: Logical, but unnecessary. You are hereby accepted to the Vulcan Science Academy. It is truly remarkable, Spock, that you have achieved so much despite your disadvantage. All rise. [the Vulcan Council stands in honor of Spock, who now looks slightly pissed] Spock: If you would clarify, Minister: to what disadvantage are you referring? Vulcan Council President: Your human mother. Spock: Council... Ministers, I must decline. Vulcan Council President: No Vulcan has ever declined admission to this academy! Spock: Then, as I am half-human, your record remains untarnished. Sarek: Spock, you have made a commitment to honor the Vulcan way. Vulcan Council President: Why did you come before this council today? Was it to satisfy your emotional need to rebel? Spock: The only emotion I wish to convey is gratitude. Thank you, Ministers, for your consideration. [In a tone reserved for telling someone to 'Go to Hell'] Spock: Live long and prosper.
