Favorite Spock quotes or moments-

1.“They are not the hell your whales.”  
2. (in answer to Kirk saying “Spock, where the hell’s the power you promised?”) “One damn minute, Admiral.”  
3. To Quinto-Spock: “Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say ‘Good luck’.”  
4. “1,771,561. That’s assuming one tribble, multiplying with an average litter of 10, producing a new generation every 12 hours over a period of three days.”  
5. “Sir, there is a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder.”  
6. “Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall we say, more colorful metaphors: ‘Double dumbass on you!’ and so forth.”  
7. “Stonn, she is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.”  
8. “I am endeavoring, ma’am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins.”  
9. “Insufficient facts always invite danger.”  
10. “There is no fact, extrapolation of fact, or theory, which would allow you to be he.”  
11. The whole Spock doll dream sequence on The Big Bang Theory  
12. [Told by Sela that she will kill everybody if they do not cooperate] “Since it is logical to assume you will kill us all in any event, I choose not to cooperate.”  
13. “I do not approve; I _understand_.”

Pass.

7. George Carlin: Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky, who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and BURN and CHOKE and SCREAM and CRY forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He NEEDS MONEY! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise – somehow just can’t handle money!
