Amok Time

"Miss Chapel."

"Yes, Mister Spock?"

"I had a most startling dream. You were trying to tell me something... but I couldn't hear you. It would be illogical for us to protest against our natures, don't you think?"

"Would you beam down to the planet's surface and stand with me? There is a brief ceremony."

"Is it permitted?"

"It is my right. By tradition the male is accompanied by his closest friends."

"Thank you Mister Spock."

"I also request McCoy accompany me."

"I shall be honoured, sir."

"What thee are about to see comes down from the time of the beginning, without change. This is the Vulcan heart. This is the Vulcan soul. This is our way."

"He does not know! I will do... what I must... T'Pau, but not with him! His blood does not burn. He is my friend!"

"It is said thy Vulcan blood is thin. Are thee Vulcan, or are thee human?"

"That's T'Pau, of Vulcan. All of Vulcan in one package. How can I back out in front of her?"

"I see no logic in preferring Stonn over me."

"You have become much known among our people, Spock. Almost a legend. And as the years went by, I came to know that I did not want to be the consort of a legend. But by the laws of our people, I could only divorce you by the Kal-if-fee. There was also Stonn who wanted very much to be my consort. And I wanted him. If your Captain were victor, he would not want me, so I would have Stonn. If you were victor, you would free me because I had dared to challenge, and again I would have Stonn. But if you did not free me, it would be the same. For you would be gone. And I would have your name and your property, and Stonn would still be there."

"Logical. Flawlessly logical."

"I am honoured."

"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."

"Live long, T'Pau and prosper."

"Live long and prosper, Spock."

"I shall do neither. I have killed my Captain... and my friend."
