Doctor McCoy




“We ALL Want to Live. 
And in large part 
we make Our Logic 
according to 
What We LIKE.

But not having attained our aim 
and continuing to live is cowardice.

This is a thin and dangerous line. 
To Die without Gaming One's Aim 
is A Dog's Death 
and Fanaticism. 

But there is no shame in this. 
This is the substance of The Way of the Samurai. 




Capt. SARU
Burnham, we are running out of time.


MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
Okay, it's time to go, Spock.
Get back to Discovery.
 
SPOCK :
Michael, I cannot.
 

MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
What? 
 

SPOCK :
When my vessel was hit 
My engines were disabled.
 
MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
Discovery can lock onto you 
with a tractor beam.
 

SPOCK :
There is no time.

And even if there were, 
they would need to lower their shields 
to bring me aboard, 
and they will not survive doing so.

Not in this battle.

Not with the amount of damage 
that ship has already sustained.

You Must Go.
 

MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
I just got you back.
I don't want to let go.
 

SPOCK :
Neither do I.

MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
I already lost you once.
 

SPOCK :
You never Lost Me, Michael.
As A Child, I was Truly Lost.

The Path of My Father, 
The Path of My Mother.
You came into our lives 
and you taught me it was possible 
to travel both.

You Found Me.
You Saved Me.
 

MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
That wasn't me.
That was always in you.
 

SPOCK :
You are My Balance, Michael, 
you always HAVE been —
and I am afraid that 
I will not find it again without you.
 

MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
Okay —
Listen to Me :
Listen to Me, Little Brother.
This is the last advice 
I'll ever be able to give you —

There is a Whole Galaxy 
out there full of people 
who will  reach for you.

You Have to 
LET Them.

Find That Person 
Who Seems Farthest from you, 
and reach for them.

Reach for them.
Let them guide you.
 
SPOCK :
I will.
I only wish,
I could be certain of your safety.
 
MICHAEL, 
Daughter of Michael :
(SIGHS) 
You will.
(CHUCKLES) 
(SNIFFLES) 
I'll send the last signal.
I'll send it through The Wormhole when we get to The Other Side.
