Line 14:
** "Admiral! There be whales here!"
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: The pompous Klingon ambassador demands justice in response to Kirk killing Kurge's crew in the last movie, which cues Sarek to explain just how villainous they really were. The Federation president assures everyone present that Kirk will face Federation justice, which the Klingon ambassador scoffs at. Out of all the things the crew did in the last movie, no one is going to bat an eye over what happened to Kurge's crew. However, the Klingon ambassador nonetheless winds up being right to scoff at "Federation justice." All charges of theft and sabotage of Starfleet property are dropped, and Kirk's violating the chain of command is "punished" by a demotion to Captain and the command of his own ship - the two things he wanted anyway.
** Considering that aside from killing Kruge and his crew of terrorists, all of Kirk's crimes were against the Federation and thus the Federation can decide on whatever punishment they like for it, the ambassador doesn't exactly have a pot to piss in there.
