    Spock: "I examined the problem for all angles and it was plainly
    hopeless. Logic informed me that under the circumstances the only
    possible action would have to be one of desperation. A logical
    descision, logically arrived at."

    Kirk: "Ah hah. I see. You mean you reasoned that it was time for an
    emotional outburst."

    --------------------------------------------------------
    Kirk: Uh, Mr. Spock,
    there's really something I don't understand about all of this.
    And maybe you can explain it to me. Logically, of course.
    When you jettisoned the fuel and ignited it,
    you knew there was virtually no chance of it being seen,
    yet you did it anyhow.
    That would seem to be an act of desperation.

    Spock: Quite correct.

    Kirk: We all know, and I'm sure the doctor agrees,
    that desperation is a highly emotional state of mind.
    How does your well-known logic explain that?

    Spock: Quite simply, Captain.
    I examined the problem from all angles,
    and it was plainly hopeless.
    Logic informed me that, under the circumstances,
    the only possible action would have to be one of desperation.
    Logical decision, logically arrived at.

    Kirk: Aha, ha ha.
    I see.
    You mean you reasoned
    that it was time for an emotional outburst.

    Spock: Well, I...
    wouldn't put it in exactly those terms, Captain, but...
    those are essentially the facts.

    Kirk: You're not going to admit
    that for the first time in your life,
    you committed a purely human, emotional act?

    Spock: No, sir.

    [Chuckling]

    Kirk: Mr. Spock,
    you're a stubborn man.

    Spock: Yes, sir.
