Sign for the torpedoes, that’s an order. Right, well. You leave me no choice but to resign my duties.

i really love this a lot though okay; this whole scene even the whole thing with scotty resigning; because he’s a bit different from the rest of the crew; undeniably brilliant but with the extra benefit of some temperance through age; he’s not this hotshot kid who’s trying to rise to the top; he doesn’t want to be and it’s not in his personality;he’s content where he is; taking care of his lovely lady enterprise; and though he’s vocal about his opinions he often complies with what jim asks; but not this time; he has the wisdom to see farther ahead than what jim is seeing; to see the implications of bringing those torpedoes aboard; he doesn’t want any harm to come to his ship;his crew; his family; and he; by his good honor; and with all that well-meaning bluster; can not in good grace accept what jim’s doing and refuses to stand down; because he doesn’t like what it hints at; doesn’t like the idea that explorers could become soldiers or even killers; i know i always say that kirk is a paragon of starfleet; but i think if there’s anyone that embodies it’s spirit; of peace and pride and good work and better results and exploration and revelation; it’s montgomery scott; star trek; (tags via vulcanass)
