"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"
COMPUTER [to Spock]: How do you feel?
[SPOCK is puzzled by the question.]
COMPUTER: How do you feel? [Beat.] How do you feel?
SPOCK: I do not understand the question.
AMANDA: What is it, Spock?
SPOCK: I do not understand the question, Mother.
AMANDA: You're half-human. The computer knows that.
SPOCK: The question is irrelevant.
AMANDA: Spock, the re-training of your mind has been in the Vulcan way, so you may not understand feelings. But as my son, you have them. They will surface.
SPOCK: As you wish, since you deem them of value.But I cannot wait here to find them.
AMANDA: Why? Where must you go?
SPOCK: I must go to Earth. To offer testimony.
AMANDA [Beat]: You do this... for friendship?
SPOCK: I do it because I was there.
AMANDA: Spock, does the good of the many outweigh the good of the one?
SPOCK: I would accept that as an axiom.
AMANDA: Then you stand here, alive, because of a mistake. Made by your flawed, feeling, human friends. They have sacrificed their futures because they believed that the good of the one - you - was more important to them.
SPOCK: Humans make illogical decisions.
AMANDA: They do, indeed.
