Una: Don’t start a fight you can’t win. You taught me that.
Pike: You didn’t start this. They did. And we’re going to find a way to win because it’s what’s right.
Una: There’s the Boy Scout in you again.

M’Benga: Increased heart rate. Heightened pain in neck, jaw, and lower back. If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were experiencing what we humans call stress.
Spock: That is atypical.

Spock: I am concerned my emotions may impact my judgment.
M’Benga: You will just have to learn to live with it. Like we all do.
Spock: No, I prefer not to.

Spock: Our former comrade is in trouble. She has indicated aid to her is essential for the safety of the Federation. I will need your help to get the inspectors off the ship and achieve our objective. But I will not ask you to do something you believe is wrong. If you wish to leave or report this plan, I will not stand in your way.
Chapel: What plan?
Spock: I would’ve thought it obvious. We must steal the Enterprise.

Pelia: Do you have a good reason to steal the ship?
Spock: I am having what you humans call a hunch.
Pelia: A Vulcan with a hunch! That’s a new one!

If you’re going to steal a starship, do it correctly.

Pelia

Ortegas: You gonna say it? Your thing?
Spock: My what?
Ortegas: Your thing. Y’know, everyone in the chair has their thing.
Uhura: Captain Pike always says, ‘Hit it’
Mitchell: My last captain liked to say, ‘Zoom’
Spock: Must I have a thing? [to Ortegas] Do you have a thing?
Ortegas: Well. I’ve been workshopping, ‘Vamoose’ but it’s supposed to be about you. What kind of commander are you? All that. So… no presh.
Spock: I would like the ship to go. Now.
Ortegas: Aye-aye, captain.

A hundred million Federation bodies slaughtered. And for what? Parsec of space or two? And now someone wants to resume that theater of horror for profit?

M’Benga

Chapel: Hey, you good?
M’Benga: I’m fine.
Chapel: You sure?
M’Benga: You want me to tell you this is not bringing everything back? I can’t. But I can tell you I’m in control.
Chapel: The war is over, Joseph.

Chapel: Sure you want to do this again?
M’Benga: Again? No, but I’m not seeing a better choice.

Chapel: Can’t believe this is how we’re going to die.
M’Benga: We’ve gotten out of worse.
Chapel: No. Not really.
M’Benga: I suppose not.

Spock: Are you actually Lanthanite?
Pelia: Oooh, a couple of drinks and you get personal! That it, fly boy?
