Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Scene 12 Summary

  • A sweet '80s musical transition brings us to the bustling streets of San Francisco. Kirk nearly gets hit by a cab and curses at the driver.
  • The crew is shocked by this bizarre world. They even use money here. Can you imagine?
  • Spock and Kirk leave to get some of this "money." They end up in a pawn shop, where Kirk sells a pair of vintage 18th-century glasses for 100 bucks.
  • Hilariously, Kirk tells the crew not to "splurge" as he hands out this veritable fortune. They split up into their predetermined groups.
  • Spock and Kirk see an ad for two humpback whales—George and Gracie—at the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito. That's convenient.
  • Spock and Kirk try to get on a bus, but they're denied because they don't have exact change. They don't even know what that is.
