THE RESURRECTIONISTS

SPOCK :

 And yet, you can be in two places at once. 

 

 

 

The Resurrection Argument That Changed a Generation of Scholars

(George and Lorraine kiss. Biff's gang enter the dance and Marty hides underneath a table, his hat falls off and he grabs it just in time.)

Marvin: (o.s) 

Let's do another one!

Skinhead: 

Where'd he go? He just came in here?

1955 Marty: (o.s) 

Something that really cooks.

(3-D spots 1955 Marty on the stage about to play Johnny B Goode.)

3-D: 

Look -it's him. How'd he get up on stage?

Skinhead: 

I dunno, but when he gets down we're gonna nail him.

Match: 

How the hell'd he change his clothes so fast?

 

SPOCK: 

Father. 

 

SPOCK PRIME: 

I am Not-Our-Father. 

There are so few Vulcans left, we cannot afford to ignore each other. 

 

 

SPOCK: 

Then why did you send Kirk aboard, when you alone could have explained The Truth? 

 

SPOCK PRIME: 

Because, YOU needed each other. 

 

I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together. 

 

Of a friendship, that would define you both, in ways you cannot yet realize. 

 

SPOCK: 

How did you persuade him to keep your secret? 

 

SPOCK PRIME:

He inferred that universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise. 

 

SPOCK:

You lied. 

 

SPOCK PRIME:

Oh, I... I implied. 

 

SPOCK:

A gamble. 

 

SPOCK PRIME: 

An Act of Faith. 

One I hope that you will repeat in The Future at Starfleet. 

 

SPOCK: 

In the face of extinction, it is only logical I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race. 

 

SPOCK PRIME:

And yet, you can be in two places at once. 

I urge you to remain in Starfleet. 

I have already located a suitable planet on which to establish a Vulcan colony. 

 

Spock, in this case, do yourself a favour. 

Put aside logic. 

Do what FEELS right. 

 

Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say good luck.
