Christopher Pike:
You know, I couldn't believe it when the bartender told me who you are.
James T. Kirk:
Who am I, Captain Pike?
Christopher Pike:
Your father's son.
James T. Kirk:
[Turns toward the bar]
Can I get another one?
Christopher Pike:
For my dissertation, I was assigned the U.S.S. Kelvin. Something I admired about your Dad: he didn't believe in no-win scenarios
James T. Kirk:
Sure learned his lesson!
Christopher Pike:
Well, it depends on how you define winning. You're here, aren't you?
James T. Kirk:
[as beer is brought to him]
Thanks.
Christopher Pike:
You know that instinct to leap without looking, that was his nature too. And in my opinion it's something Starfleet's lost.
James T. Kirk:
[laughing]
Why are you talkin' to me, man?
Christopher Pike:
'Cause I looked up your file while you were drooling on the floor. Your aptitude tests are off the charts, so what is it? You like being the only genius level repeat offender in the Midwest?
James T. Kirk:
Maybe I love it.
Christopher Pike:
Look, so your Dad dies. You can settle for a less than ordinary life, or do you feel like you were meant for something better? Something special? Enlist in Starfleet.
James T. Kirk:
[scoffs]
Enlist!
James T. Kirk:
[laughs]
You guys must be way down on your recruiting quota for the month!
Christopher Pike:
If you're half the man your father was, Jim, Starfleet could use you. You could be an officer in four years. You could have your own ship in eight. You understand what the Federation is, don't you? It's important. It's a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada...
James T. Kirk:
Are we done?
Christopher Pike:
I'm done.
Christopher Pike:
[Gets up]
Riverside Shipyard. Shuttle for new recruits leaves tomorrow morning, 0800.
Christopher Pike:
[pause]
Now, your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's and yours. I dare you to do better.
