239   CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL                                239                    the Ship's Company in full dress uniforms assembled for                    ship's burial service. Over the PULLBACK, we HEAR:                                            KIRK                              In accordance with the traditions                              of Starfleet and of Article 184                              Starfleet Regulations, we are                              assembled here today to pay final                              respects to our honored dead.                    Carol and David are PROMINENTLY FEATURED. David watching                    Kirk attentively. So are Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, and Saavik.                    Bones stands next to Kirk. Scotty carries his bagpipes.                    Saavik wears her hair down.                                            KIRK                                      (continuing)                              And yet, in the midst of our sorrow                              it should be noted that this death                              takes place in the shadow of new                              life, the sunrise of a new world,                              a world that our beloved comrade                              gave his own life to protect and                              nourish. He did not feel that                              sacrifice a vain or empty one --                              and we will not debate his profound                              wisdom, in these proceedings. Of                              my friend, I can only say this, that                              of all the souls I have encountered                              in my travels, his was the most --                                      (he falters)                              -- human.                    He tries to go on, but catches Bones' face: Bones is                    streaming tears. Kirk can't go on.                                            KIRK                                      (continuing)                              Lieutenant Saavik.
