Quote #7

UHURA: We're to put her back into space dock immediately to be decommissioned.

SPOCK: If I were human, I believe my response would be, "go to hell." If I were human.

Most Star Trek movies include a moment in which Spock uncharacteristically utters a cuss word, and The Undiscovered Country is no exception. In this case, it's used to illustrate the crew's camaraderie on the eve of their obsolescence.

Quote #8

CHEKOV: Course heading, Captain?

KIRK: Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

This is a small moment, but it shows that Kirk has not given up his adventurous streak just yet. He might be older, but he's still the same rogue he always was.

Quote #9

KIRK: This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew.

For Trekkies like us, Kirk's final audio log is quite moving. Through the log, he finally makes peace with the fact that the world—and his place in it—is going to be very different in the near future. But that's okay. The important part is trusting the people who pick up the reins.
