Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Scene 18 Summary

  • Gillian pulls up to Golden Gate Park and drops off Spock. He transports back to the ship immediately.
  • Kirk and Gillian go on a date at a pizza restaurant. Kirk is laying on game so thick we can hardly breathe.
  • Game having been laid, Kirk makes Gillian an offer—he can take the whales somewhere they'll never be found by hunters.
  • Gillian laughs. How reliable can Kirk be if he has a friend like Spock?
  • Suddenly, Kirk's tricorder starts beeping. Gillian assumes that it's a pager.
  • Like your dad at a family dinner, Kirk just can't wait and answers the call. Gillian hears Scotty talking all sorts of technical gobbledygook. As usual, subtle.
  • Gillian jokingly says that Kirk is from outer space. Kirk responds that no, he's not from outer space—he just works there.
  • Laughing, Kirk says that he will tell her the truth. He gives her the whole spiel: he's from the 23rd century, he's seeking to repopulate humpback whales, and so on.
  • Gillian is annoyed and disbelieving. It doesn't matter, anyway, she explains. The whales are being shipped out the next day.
  • Upon hearing this, Kirk hurriedly grabs the check and leaves the restaurant.
