Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

(from internet transcript)



SPOCK: What you want is irrelevant. What you have chosen is at hand.



VALERIS: I did not fire. You cannot prove anything.

KIRK: Yes I can. At my trial my personal log was used against me. ...How long did you wait outside my quarters before I noticed you?

VALERIS: You knew? ...I tried to tell you but you would not listen.

SPOCK: Neither of us was hearing very well that night, Lieutenant. There were things I tried to tell you, about having faith.

VALERIS: You have betrayed the Federation. ...All of you.

McCOY: And what do you think you've been doing?

VALERIS: Saving Starfleet. Klingons cannot be trusted. Sir, ...you said so yourself. They killed your son. Did you not wish Gorkon dead? 'Let them die.' you said. Did I misinterpret you? ...And you were right. They conspired with us to assassinate their own Chancellor. How trustworthy can they be?

McCOY: Klingons and Federation members conspiring together.

KIRK: Who is 'us?'

VALERIS: Everyone who stands to lose from peace.

KIRK: Names, Lieutenant.

VALERIS: My comrades will make sure all your ship-to-ship transmissions are Jammed.

KIRK: Names, Lieutenant.

VALERIS: I do not remember.

SPOCK: A lie?

VALERIS: A choice.

KIRK: Spock.

(Spock conducts a mind-meld with Valeris)



VALERIS: Ah! ...Ah! ...Ah! ...Aarrgh!
