Katra of Star Trek and Seinfeld

GEORGE: What were you saying to the Rosses over there anyway? JERRY: Oh man i don't know. I told them her death takes place in the shadow of new life and she's not really dead if we find a way to remember her. GEORGE: What is that? JERRY: Star Trek II GEORGE: Wrath of Khan! JERRY: Right! Kramer and I saw it last night. McCOY: He's really not dead. As long as we remember him. KIRK: 'It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before. ...A far better resting place that I go to than I have ever known'. CAROL: Is that a poem? KIRK: No, no. Something Spock was trying to tell me. On my birthday. McCOY: You okay, Jim? How do you feel? KIRK: Young. I feel young. KIRK: Ambassador, I would have come to Vulcan to express my deepest sympathy. SAREK: Spare me your human platitudes, Kirk. I have been to your Government. I have seen the Genesis information, and your own report. KIRK: Then you know how bravely your son met his death. SAREK: Why did you leave him on Genesis! Spock trusted you. You denied him his future! KIRK: I saw no future. SAREK: Only his body was in death, Kirk. And you were the last one to be with him. KIRK: Yes, I was. SAREK: Then you must know that you should have come with him to Vulcan. KIRK: But... why? SAREK: Because he asked you to! He entrusted you with his very essence, with everything that was not of the body. He asked you to bring him to us... and bring that which he gave you, his katra, his living spirit. KIRK: Sir... your son meant more to me than you can know. I'd have given my life if it would have saved his. Believe me when I tell you... he made no request of me! SAREK: He would not have spoken of it openly. #Disclosure, #StarTrek, #Seinfeld, #Soul, #Ka, #Ba, #Spirit, #Kramer, #JuliaLouisDreyfus
