Was it to satisfy your
emotional need to rebel?
The only emotion I wish
to convey is gratitude.
Thank you, ministers,
for your consideration.
Life long and prosper.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hello, I would like some tea klabnian,
three Budweiser,
Two cocktails cardassiene and...
- Try Slusho. Good.
- A Slusho. Thank you.
So many drinks for a woman.
- And a swig of Jack Daniels without ice.
- Two. I paid for it.
I am paying for myself.
Thanks, but no.
You want to know my name
before you reject me?
I'm no good.
You did okay without him. I'm Jim Kirk.
If you tell me the name,
you up my part.
- E Uhura.
- Uhura? No more days.
Just the name I thought.
- Uhura and how?
- Just Uhura.
- You name
- Uhura's name.
When you have no name?
So you cadet. What study?
Xenolingvistica.
Do not know what is that.
The study of alien languages.
Morphology, phonology, syntax.
Are you good at languages.
I'm impressed.
For a moment I thought
you are an oaf sluggish
that sex
only with farm animals.
Not only.
locals that bothers you, right?
Over extent.
But I can make one side.
Can you cope?
It's an invitation?
- Be careful what you mean.
- Calm down, sweetie. Just kidding.
Listen, peasants.
Maybe you can not count
but we are four
and you just one.
Then bring some May
to be an equal fight.
Stop it, guys.
Stop.
That is enough.
You guys get it.
Outside, all of you.
- Now.
- Yes, sir.
- What the hell?
- I just had a drink.
- Are you all right, son?
- You whistle really loud. You know that?
I couldn't believe it when the
bartender told me who you are.
- And who is that, Captain Pike?
- Your father's son.
Can I get another one?
For my dissertation,
I was assigned the USS Kelvin
Something I admired about your dad. He didn't believe
in no-win scenarios.
- He sure learned his leason.
- That depends on how you define winning.
- You're here, aren't you?
- Thanks.
You know, that instinct to leap w/o looking
it was in his nature too
And in my opinion, it's something Starfleet has lost
Why are you talking to me?
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 genious
level repeat offender in the Midwest?
Maybe I love it.
So, your dad died.
You can settle for a less than ordinary life.
But you feel you were meant for
something better. Something special.
- Enlist in Starfleet
- Enlist?
You must be way down in you
recruitment quota for the month.
If you are half the man
your father was, Jim,
Starfleet could use you.
You can be an officer in four years.
You can have your own ship in eight.
You understand what the Federation is,
don't you? It's important.
It's a peace keeping and humanitarian armada...
Are you done?
I'm done.
Riverside shipyard. Shuttle
for new recruits leaves tomorrow at 0800.
You know, 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.
Nice ride, huh
It's yours.
Four years? I'll do it in three.
At ease, gentlemen.
Never did get that firstname.
- You need a doctor.
- I told you...
I don't need a doctor.
I am a doctor.
- You need to return to your seat.
- I had a seat, in the bathroom with no windows.
I'm suffering from aviafobie.
That means fear of dying in a plane.
Sir, for your own safety sit down,
or I'll come make you sit down.
- Fine
- Thank you
This is Captain Pike.
Cleared to take off.
I might throw up on you.
- I think these things are pretty safe.
- Don't pander to me, kid.
If there is any crack in the hull,
our blood will boil in 13 seconds.
Or a solar flare
will cook us in our seats.
And when you're seating pretty
with a case of the Andorian shingles,
let's see if you're still so relaxed
while your eyeballs bleed.
Space is disease and danger
wrapped in silence and darkness.
I hate to break this to you,
but Starfleet operates in space.
