Kirk: [Sarek angrily confronts Kirk about Spock] Ambassador. I would had come to Vulcan to express my deepest sympathies.
Sarek: Spare me your human platitutes, Kirk. I have been to your government and I've seen the Genesis information and your report.
Kirk: Then you know how bravely your son met his death.
Sarek: Why did you leave him on Genesis? Spock trusted you! and you denied him his future.
Kirk: I saw no future.
Sarek: Only his body was in death, Kirk! and you were the last one to be with him.
Kirk: Yes! I was.
Sarek: And you must know that you should had to come with him to Vulcan.
Kirk: But - why?
Sarek: Because he asked you too! He entrusted you! With his very esscence. With everything that was not of the body. He asked you to bring him to us and to bring that which he gave you. His Katra. His living spirit.
Kirk: Sir. Your son meant to me more than you could know. I would had given my life if I could save his. Believe me when I tell you, he made no request of me.
Sarek: He would not had spoken of it openly.
