** Although it's a tense scene, it demonstrates Sulu's UndyingLoyalty to his old crew. The ''Enterprise'' is getting stomped by Chang, ''Excelsior'' is on the way, but still several minutes out at warp speed. Keep in mind that according to both WordOfGod and supplemental materials, Sulu's command is everything he's ever wanted in life. ''Excelsior'''s helmsman warns that she'll fly apart if they push the warp drive any harder. Sulu, knowing his friends are in mortal danger, snarls, "Well, fly her apart, then!"

Later, Kirk told [=McCoy=] "Gorkon had to die before I realized how prejudiced I was" and regretted not taking him at his word from the get-go.

--> '''Sulu''': You'll find that more happens on the bridge of a starship than just carrying out orders and observing regulations. There is a sense of loyalty to the men and women you serve with; a sense of family. Those two men on trial... I served with them for a long time. I owe them my life a dozen times over. And right now they're in trouble, and I'm going to help them; let the regulations be damned.
--> '''Tuvok''': Sir, that is a most illogical line of reasoning.
--> '''Sulu''': You better believe it. Helm, engage!

Scotty responds, "Not so big as her captain I think", showing how they still consider Sulu part of the Enterprise "family". It's also nice to hear Scotty showing respect to the Excelsior given how dismissive he was of it in Star Trek III and IV.
