Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

(from internet transcript)

[Federation council chamber]

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: The Council is now in session. If you will all take your seats. Bring in the accused. ...Captain Spock, you do not stand accused.

SPOCK: Mister President, I stand with my shipmates.

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: As you wish. ...The charges and specifications are. Conspiracy. Assault on Federation Officers. Theft of Federation Property, namely the Starship Enterprise. Sabotage of the U.S.S. Excelsior, Wilful destruction of Federation Property, specifically the aforementioned U.S.S. Enterprise. And finally, disobeying direct orders of the Starfleet Commander. ...Admiral Kirk, how do you plead?

KIRK: On behalf of all of us, Mister President, I am authorised to plead guilty.

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: So entered. Because of certain mitigating circumstances, all charges but one are summarily dismissed. ...The remaining charge, disobeying orders of a superior officer is directed solely at Admiral Kirk. I'm sure the Admiral will recognise the necessity of keeping discipline in any chain of command.

KIRK: I do, sir.

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: James T. Kirk. ...It is the judgment of this Council that you be reduced in rank to Captain, ...and that as a consequence of your new rank, you be given the duties for which you have repeatedly demonstrated unswerving ability. The command of a starship. ...Silence! Captain Kirk, You and your crew have saved this planet from its own short-sightedness ...and we are forever in your debt.

(prolonged applause and cheers from all those present)

GILLIAN: I'm so happy for you, I can't tell you! Thank you, so much.

KIRK: Wait a minute! Where you going?

GILLIAN: You're going to your ship. I'm going to mine. Science vessel. I've got three hundred years of catch-up learning to do.

KIRK: You mean this is ...goodbye?

GILLIAN: Why does it have to be goodbye?

KIRK: Well, like they say in your century, ...I don't even have your telephone number.
