Spock Asks Luke About the Force
Spock: There is another matter I find difficult to reconcile.Luke: The Force?
Spock: Yes. You have repeatedly referred to it as the Force. What, precisely, is it?
Luke: It's an energy field. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.
Spock: An energy field?
Luke: Yes.
Spock: Generated by what mechanism?
Luke: Life.
Spock: That is remarkably vague.
Luke: It's not exactly something you can put in a textbook.
Spock: Everything can be put in a textbook.
Luke: Not everything.
Spock: That is an assertion, not an argument.
Luke: The Force is something you feel. You learn to sense it, and eventually you can interact with it.
Spock: Telepathy?
Luke: Among other things.
Spock: Telekinesis?
Luke: Yes.
Spock: Precognition?
Luke: Sometimes.
Spock: Manipulation of another individual's behavior?
Luke: Yes.
Spock: And you consider this normal?
Luke: For a Jedi.
Spock: I see.
Luke: What's wrong?
Spock: Nothing. I am merely attempting to determine whether what you describe is a physical phenomenon, a form of consciousness, or a previously unidentified interaction between the two.
Luke: The Jedi don't really think about it that way.
Spock: That is apparent.
Luke: You don't believe in it?
Spock: Belief is unnecessary when evidence is available.
Luke: I've seen the Force move objects.
Spock: I am aware.
Luke: You've seen me use it.
Spock: Indeed.
Luke: And you still don't believe?
Spock: I do not believe in it.
Luke: Then what do you think it is?
Spock: A demonstrable phenomenon for which I currently lack an adequate scientific model.
Luke: So... you believe in it.
Spock: No.
Luke: Spock—
Spock: I accept its existence.
Luke: That's basically the same thing.
Spock: It is absolutely not the same thing.
Luke: You Vulcans really like semantics.
Spock: We prefer precision.
Luke: Can you feel the Force?
Spock: No.
Luke: Maybe you're blocking it.
Spock: Unlikely.
Luke: Why?
Spock: Because I have been trained to control my emotions.
Luke: That doesn't mean you're not connected to it.
Spock: An intriguing hypothesis.
Luke: You should try reaching out.
Spock: Very well.
Spock closes his eyes.
Spock: I sense nothing.
Luke: Give it time.
Spock: I sense... a disturbance.
Luke: Really?
Spock: Yes.
Luke: What is it?
Spock: You are standing on my foot.
Luke: ...Sorry.
Spock: Your apology is accepted.
Luke: Was that the Force?
Spock: No.
Luke: How do you know?
Spock: Because the Force apparently has better observational skills than you do.
Luke: ...
Spock: Fascinating.

Luke Tries to Recruit Spock
Luke: You know, Spock... you could become a Jedi.Spock: I believe you have misunderstood my previous statement.
Luke: Which one?
Spock: The one in which I indicated that I found the Force fascinating.
Luke: You'd make a good Jedi.
Spock: On what basis?
Luke: You're disciplined. You can control your emotions. You're logical. You meditate.
Spock: Those characteristics are already cultivated by Vulcan society.
Luke: Exactly. You'd fit right in.
Spock: You are attempting to recruit me.
Luke: Yes.
Spock: Why?
Luke: Because the Jedi could use someone like you.
Spock: What, precisely, would my responsibilities be?
Luke: Study the Force. Meditate. Learn lightsaber combat. Protect people.
Spock: And the Jedi dress code?
Luke: Robes.
Spock: Unacceptable.
Luke: You wear a uniform.
Spock: A Starfleet uniform is considerably more practical.
Luke: We can make you a black robe.
Spock: That does not improve the proposal.
Luke: You'd get a lightsaber.
Spock: A plasma-based energy weapon with an extremely short effective range and a demonstrated tendency to injure its inexperienced users?
Luke: ...Yes.
Spock: Fascinating.
Luke: You'd be good with one.
Spock: I have extensive training in hand-to-hand and armed combat.
Luke: Exactly.
Spock: And what is the Jedi policy regarding emotional attachment?
Luke: It's... complicated.
Spock: Then I shall decline.
Luke: You didn't even let me finish.
Spock: I have already identified the primary structural weakness in the organization.
Luke: Which is?
Spock: Its members are apparently prohibited from forming attachments while simultaneously being expected to develop profound compassion for others.
Luke: When you put it that way—
Spock: I am merely stating the contradiction.
Luke: You really would make a terrible Jedi.
Spock: Yet moments ago, you described me as an ideal candidate.
Luke: I changed my mind.
Spock: An admirable display of emotional flexibility.
Luke: Was that sarcasm?
Spock: I would never engage in such an illogical practice.
Luke: You definitely just did.
Spock: Your perception of sarcasm appears unusually acute.
Luke: So that's a no?
Spock: Correct.
Luke: Not even a little?
Spock: No.
Luke: What if I gave you a green lightsaber?
Spock: ...
Luke: Blue?
Spock: I said no.
Luke: Purple?
Spock: ...
Luke: I knew you'd think about it.
Spock: I was considering the engineering implications.
Luke: Sure you were.
Spock: ...Fascinating.

Haha, this is hilarious! Spock's logic just makes everything way more interesting. Can't believe Luke tried to sell him on the Jedi lifestyle like that. Would love to see a whole episode of them going back and forth!

Kirk Enters the Room
The doors slide open.Kirk: Spock, I was looking for—
He stops and looks at Luke.
Kirk: Who is this?
Spock: Captain, this is Luke Skywalker.
Kirk: Luke Skywalker?
Spock: Correct.
Kirk: From where?
Spock: A galaxy considerably distant from our own.
Kirk: ...That's not particularly helpful.
Spock: I was attempting to be concise.
Kirk: And what exactly is he doing on the Enterprise?
Spock: He has been attempting to recruit me into an organization known as the Jedi Order.
Kirk: The what?
Luke: Jedi.
Kirk: And what do Jedi do?
Luke: We protect people. We study the Force. We try to keep peace.
Kirk: Sounds reasonable.
Spock: He also attempted to recruit me by offering me a lightsaber.
Kirk: Ah.
Spock: The weapon is technologically interesting.
Kirk: But?
Spock: Its design philosophy is questionable.
Luke: It's a lightsaber.
Spock: Precisely.
Kirk: What does it do?
Luke: Cuts through almost anything.
Kirk: How much power does it use?
Luke: It doesn't really work that way.
Kirk: How does it work?
Luke: The Force—
Kirk: Of course. The Force.
Spock: Captain, Luke claims the Force is an energy field generated by and connecting all living things.
Kirk: And you believe him?
Spock: No.
Kirk: Good.
Spock: I accept that it exists.
Kirk: That's basically believing him.
Spock: It is not.
Kirk: Spock, you have been talking to this man for too long.
Luke: He's actually pretty good at this.
Kirk: At what?
Luke: Not believing something while simultaneously accepting that it's real.
Kirk: That's Spock.
Spock: Indeed.
Kirk: So, Luke... do you have a ship?
Luke: Yes.
Kirk: Faster than the Enterprise?
Luke: In some ways.
Kirk: Interesting.
Spock: Captain.
Kirk: Yes?
Spock: Do not encourage him.
Kirk: I'm just asking questions.
Spock: That is how this began.
Kirk: How what began?
Spock: He attempted to recruit me.
Kirk: And you said no?
Spock: Obviously.
Kirk: Why?
Spock: They have an unusually restrictive policy concerning emotional attachments.
Kirk: Ah.
Luke: It's complicated.
Kirk: Spock, you might actually fit in perfectly.
Spock: Captain.
Kirk: I'm joking.
Spock: Your humor continues to be illogical.
Kirk: Yet you keep listening.
Spock: Unfortunately.

This is surprisingly entertaining! Love how Spock's logic clashes with Luke's vibe. Would've been cool to see them team up for a mission!
