Episode Quotes
 
Thelin: This change in the timeline will put you in my place, yet I'm not aggrieved.
Spock: Andorians are not known for their charity.
Thelin: True. A warrior race has few sympathies, but one we do possess is for family. In your time plane, you will live and so will your mother. That is valuable. Live long and prosper in your world, Commander Spock.
Spock: And you in yours, Commander Thelin.
 
Sarek: My apologies, visitor. I regret you were witness to that unfortunate display of emotion on the part of my son.
Spock: In the family, all is silence. No more will be said of it. Live long and prosper, Sarek of Vulcan.
 
Sarek: Spock, being Vulcan means following disciplines and philosophies that are difficult and demanding of both mind and body.
Young Spock: Yes, Father.
Sarek: You constantly display your emotions. You have even been seen fighting in the street.
Young Spock: Yes, Father.
Sarek: The time draws near when you will have to decide whether you will follow Vulcan or human philosophy. Vulcan offers much. No war, no crime. Order, logic, and control in place of raw emotions and instinct. Once on the path you choose, you cannot turn back.
Young Spock: Yes, Father.
 
Young Spock: Thank you for helping me and I-Chaya.
Spock: It was my duty, Spock.
Young Spock: Mother says you should always say thank you.
Spock: The lady Amanda is known for her graciousness.
Young Spock: Do you think I'll ever be able to do that neck pinch as well as you?
Spock: I dare say you will.
 
Spock: There is some human blood in my family line. It is not fatal.
 
Healer: You are Spock, son of Sarek, are you not?
Young Spock: Yes, Healer.
Healer: I have heard of you. I have heard of a tendency toward what humans call "practical jokes."
Young Spock: I did that once, two years ago. Healer, I would not call you out unless a life was in danger. Have you ever heard the son of Sarek was a liar?
 
Young Spock: I wanted only to help I-Chaya. He was my father's before he was mine. To lose him...
Spock: A Vulcan would face such a loss without tears.
Young Spock: How?
Spock: By understanding every life comes to an end when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned but only if the life was wasted. I-Chaya's was not.
 
Young Spock: If you will excuse me now, I have some business to conduct with schoolmates.
Sarek: Business?
Young Spock: A demonstration of the Vulcan neck pinch.
 
Kirk: I sent the others up to the ship. What happened?
Spock: One small thing was changed this time. A pet died.
Kirk: A pet? Well, that wouldn't mean much in the course of time.
Spock: It might to some.
 
McCoy: Never mind the chitchat. I've got my medical scanners all set up for a Vulcan. I have to recalibrate every time I run a physical on you, Spock.
Spock: Dr. McCoy, you do not know your good fortune. If the times were different, you would have to recalibrate for an Andorian.
McCoy: What's that supposed to mean? If that was supposed to be a joke, Spock, I have to remind you Vulcans don't tell jokes.
Spock: Times change, Doctor. Times change.
