About This Quote
This quote is quoted from the movie, "Star Trek: Generations." In this movie, a group of renegade Klingons capture a Federation crew and hold them for ransom. The Enterprise finds out about the situation and goes to rescue the ship from the Klingons. When Captain Kirk gets to the Klingon ship, he finds out that his former friend, Spock, is now a member of the Klingon ship. Worried that things will not go well, Kirk tries to remove Spock from the situation.
Kirk asks Spock if he wants to leave the Klingons. After some hesitation, Spock responds with this quote. This shows that even though there are other universes in which someone else may be acting as captain of the Enterprise, none of those universes would be as bad as this one.
