Not Exactly a Love Song, Spock....

Star Trek Into Darkness - Uhura and Spock Argue HD]


SPOCK: 
We will arrive at Harrison's location in three minutes.

Captain. it is unlikely that he will come willingly. 

I calculate the odds of him attempting to kill us at 91 .6%.


KIRK: 
Fantastic.


UHURA: 
Good thing you don't care about dying.


SPOCK: 
I am sorry, Lieutenant. 
I could not hear what you said.


UHURA: 
Oh, I didn't say anything. 

Actually, I'd be happy to speak if you're willing to listen to me.


KIRK: 
Guys.

SPOCK: 
Lieutenant, I would prefer to discuss this in private.

UHURA: 
You'd prefer not to discuss this at all, that's —

SPOCK: 
Our current circumstances...

KIRK: 
Are you, are you really gonna do this right now?

UHURA: 
What never seems to require your undivided focus. 

I'm sorry, Captain, just two seconds. Okay, its us. 


At that volcano, you didn't give a thought to us. 

What it would do to me if you died, Spock. 

You didn't feel anything. 

You didn't care. 

And I'm not the only one who's upset with you. 

The Captain is too.


KIRK: 
No. No, no...,

Don't drag •me• into this....

She •is• right, though.


SPOCK: 
Your suggestion that I do not care about dying is incorrect. 

A sentient being's optimal chance at maximising their utility is a long and prosperous life.

UHURA: 
Great.

KIRK: 
Not exactly a love song, Spock.

SPOCK: 
You misunderstand. 

It is True, I chose not to feel anything upon realising that my own life was ending. 

As Admiral Pike was dying, I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. 

Anger. Confusion. 
Loneliness. Fear. 

I had experienced those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. 

Such a feeling is something I choose never to experience again. 

Nyota, you mistake my choice •not• to feel as a reflection of my not caring. 

Well, I assure you, 
The Truth is precisely The Opposite.
