As much as he hates Klingons, both in the movies and in the series, it’s the final push he needs to actually be a diplomat in the quest for peace, and not the BloodKnight he was trained to be and what the people in charge of plotting still expected of him.

* During the battle at Khitomer, while the ''Enterprise'' is getting the snot kicked out of it by Chang's Bird of Prey, we get a brief shot of a nameless Starfleet crewman running into a burning compartment with a fire extinquisher just before a blast door shuts, sealing him inside. The guy has about a second's worth of screentime, yet he's still the epitome of HeroicSacrifice.

-->'''Spock:''' Jim, there is a historic opportunity here.
-->'''Kirk:''' Don't believe them. Don't trust them.
-->'''Spock:''' They're dying.

As it is, the unedited shot includes Kirk physically recoiling, to provide the impression Kirk had regretted saying something so bloodthirsty. Nicholas Meyer, the director, promised Shatner he'd leave the full shot in. Guess who's still waiting.
** Also, one might call a ValuesDissonance on how awesome that moment is due to it showing us that Kirk can't (for the moment) let go of his ill will toward ''all'' Klingons, when only one was truly responsible for David's death.
