Sulu: "May I remind the captain that
if a starship enters the zone..."
Saavik: "I'm aware of my responsibilities, Mister." |
|
|
|
Saavik: "Any suggestions, Admiral?"
Kirk: "Prayer, Mr. Saavik. The Klingons don't take
prisoners." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Physician heal thyself."
Dr. McCoy: "Is that all you got to say? What about my
performance?"
Kirk: "I'm not a drama critic." |
|
|
|
Saavik:
"Permission to speak candidly, sir?"
Kirk: "Granted."
Saavik: "I don't believe this was a fair test of my
command abilities."
Kirk: "And why not?"
Saavik: "Because...there was no way to win."
Kirk: "A no-win situation is a possibility ever
commander may face. Had that not occurred to you?"
Saavik: "No, sir. It had not."
Kirk: "How we deal with death is at least as
important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?"
Saavik: "As I indicated, Admiral, that thought had
no occurred to me."
Kirk: "Well, now you have something new to think
about. Carry on." |
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "Admiral, wouldn't it be
easier to just put an experienced crew back on the ship?"
Kirk: "Galloping around the cosmos is a game for
the young, Doctor."
Uhura: "Now what is that supposed to mean?" |
|
|
|
Kirk: "'It was the best of times, it
was the worst of times.' Message, Spock?"
Mr. Spock: "None that I'm conscious of, except, of
course, happy birthday. Surely the best of times." |
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "This is not about age
and you know it. It's about you flying a Goddamned
computer console when you want to be out there hopping
galaxies!" |
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "Jim, I'm your doctor and
I'm your friend. Get back your command. Get it back before
you turn into part of this collection...before you really
do grow old." |
|
|
|
Chekov: "Starship log, stardate:
8130.4. Log entry made by First Officer Pavel Chekov.
Starship Reliant on orbital approach to Ceti Alpha VI in
conjunction with Project Genesis. We are continuing our
search for a lifeless space body to satisfy the
requirements for the Genesis experiment. So far, no
success." |
|
|
|
David: "Every time we have dealings
with Starfleet, I get nervous. We are dealing with
something that could be...perverted into a dreadful
weapon. Remember that overgrown boy scout you used to hang
around with? That is exactly the kind of man..."
Carol: "Listen, kiddo, Jim Kirk was many things,
but, he was never a boy scout." |
|
|
|
Khan: "I don't know you. But,
you, I never forget a face, Mister...Chekov...isn't it? I
never thought I'd see your face again." |
|
|
|
Khan: "He never told you the tale?
To amuse your captain? No? Never told you how the
Enterprise picked up the Botany Bay lost in space from
the year 1996? Myself and the ship's company in
cryogenic freeze."
Terrell: "I've never even met Admiral Kirk."
Khan: "ADMIRAL?! Admiral...Admiral...never told
you how Admiral Kirk sent seventy of us into
exile on this barren sand heap with only the contents of
these cargo bays to sustain us?"
Chekov: "You lie! On Ceti Alpha V there was life!
A fair chance!"
Khan: "THIS IS CETI ALPHA V! Ceti Alpha VI
exploded six months after we were left here. The shock
shifted the orbit of this planet and everything was laid
waste. Admiral Kirk never bothered to check on
our progress. It was only the fact of my genetically
engineered intellect that allowed us to survive. On
Earth...two hundred years ago...I was a prince...with
power over millions..."
Chekov: "Captain Kirk was your host. You repaid
his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder
him!" |
|
|
|
Khan: "Now tell me...why are you
hear? And tell me where I may find...James Kirk..." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "I hate inspections."
Sulu: "I'm delighted. Any chance to go aboard the
Enterprise."
Kirk: "Well, I for one am glad to have you at the
helm for three weeks. I don't think these kids can steer." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Mr. Scott, you old space dog.
You're well?"
Scotty: "Oh, I had a wee bout, sir, but, Dr. McCoy
pulled me through."
Kirk: "Wee bout of what?"
Dr. McCoy: (piping up) "Shore leave, Admiral..." |
|
|
|
Saavik: (in Vulcan) "He's not what I
expected."
Mr. Spock: (in Vulcan) "What surprises you,
Lieutenant?"
Saavik: (in Vulcan) "He's very...human."
Mr. Spock: (in Vulcan) "Nobody's perfect, Saavik." |
|
|
|
Preston: "I believe you'll find
everything in order, Admiral."
Kirk: "Oh, do you? Do you have any idea,
Midshipman, how many times I've had to listen to Mr. Scott
on the comm telling me his troubles? Have you any idea the
kind of ribbing I receive in the officer's mess to the
affect that the Enterprise is a flying death trap?"
Preston: "Oh, no, sir! The Enterprise is the finest
vessel in the fleet! If the admiral can't see that, then
he's as blind as a Tiberian bat!"
Kirk: "Midshipman...you're a tiger!" |
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "Who's been holding up
the damn elevator?" |
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "When it rains, it
pours."
Kirk: "As a physician, you of all people should
appreciate the danger of re-opening old wounds."
Dr. McCoy: "Sorry!" |
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "If I may be so bold...it
was a mistake for you to accept promotion. Commanding a
starship is your first best destiny. Anything else is a
waste of material."
Kirk: "I would not presume to debate you."
Mr. Spock: "That is wise. In any case, were I to
invoke logic. Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the
many outweigh the needs of the few."
Kirk: "Or the one."
Mr. Spock: "You are my superior officer. You are
also my friend. I have been and always shall be yours." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Mr. Scott?"
Scotty: "Aye, sir?"
Kirk: "We'll be going to warp speed."
Scotty: "Aye, sir!" |
|
|
|
Kirk: "I know none of you were
expecting this. I'm sorry, but, I'm going to have to ask
you to grow up a little sooner. Warp 5, Sulu."
Sulu: "So much for the little training cruise." |
|
|
|
Khan: "I'll chase him around the
Antares maelstrom and round Nibia and round Perdition's
Flame before I give him up!" |
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "As a matter of cosmic
history, it has always been easier to destroy than to
create."
Dr. McCoy: "Not anymore! Now we can do both at the
same time. According to myth, the Earth was created in six
days. Now, watch out! Here comes Genesis! We'll do it for
you in six minutes!"
Mr. Spock: "I do not dispute that in the wrong
hands..."
Dr. McCoy: "In the wrong hands? Would you mind
telling who's are the right hands, my logical friend? Are
you in any way in favour of these experiments?"
Kirk: "Gentlemen, gentlemen..."
Mr. Spock: "Really, Dr. McCoy, you must learn to
govern your passions. They will be your undoing. Logic
suggests..."
Dr. McCoy: "Logic?! My God, man's talking about
logic! We're talking about universal Armageddon! You
green-blooded, inhuman--!" |
|
|
|
Saavik: "Sir, my I quote General
Order 12: 'On the approach of any vessel when
communications have not been established...'"
Mr. Spock: "Lieutenant, the admiral is well aware
of the regulations." |
|
|
|
Khan: "Ahh, Kirk, my old friend. Do
you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a
dish that is best served cold? It is very cold...in
space..." |
|
|
|
Khan: "Surely I have made my
meaning plain. I mean to avenge myself upon you, Admiral.
I deprived your ship of power and when I swing around I
mean to deprive you of your life! But, I wanted you to
know first who it was who had beaten you." |
|
|
|
Khan: "Time is a luxury you don't
have, Admiral." |
|
|
|
Sulu: "Sir, you did it."
Kirk: "I DID NOTHING...except get caught with my
britches down. I must be going senile. Mr. Saavik, you go
right on quoting regulations!" |
|
|
|
Scotty: "He stayed at his
post...when the trainees ran!" |
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "Jim...be careful."
Dr. McCoy: "We will!" |
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "Admiral, if we go by the
book, like Lieutenant Saavik, hours would seem like days."
Kirk: "I read you, Captain. Let's have it."
Mr. Spock: "The situation is grave, Admiral. We
won't have main power for six days. Auxiliary power
has temporarily failed. Restoration may be possible in two
days...by the book, Admiral." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Khan, you bloodsucker! You're
going to have to do your own dirty work now, do you hear
me? DO YOU?!"
Khan: "Kirk...Kirk, you're still alive, my old
friend..."
Kirk: "STILL...'OLD FRIEND.' You've managed to kill
just about everyone else, but, like a poor marksman, you
KEEP...MISSING...THE TARGET!"
Khan: "Perhaps I no longer need to try, Admiral."
(Khan beams the Genesis Device away)
Kirk: "Khan...Khan, you've got Genesis, but, you
don't have me. If you wanted to kill me, Khan, you're
going to have to come down here. You're going to have to
come down here!"
Khan: "I've done far worse than kill you...I've
hurt you...and I wish to go on...hurting you. I shall
leave you as you left me...as you left her...marooned for
all eternity in the center of a dead planet. Buried
alive...buried alive..."
Kirk: "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!" |
|
|
|
Joachim: "Impulse power restored."
Khan: "Excellent. More than a match for poor
Enterprise." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "I reprogrammed the simulator
so it was possible to rescue the ship."
Saavik: "You what?"
David: "He cheated."
Kirk: "Changed the conditions of the test. Got a
commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose."
Saavik: "Then you never faced that situation; faced
death."
Kirk: "I don't believe in the no-win scenario." |
|
|
|
Joachim: "Impulse power restored."
Khan: "Excellent. More than a match for poor
Enterprise." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Regulation 46-A: 'If
transmissions are being monitored during battle...'"
Saavik: "'...no un-coded messages on an open
channel.'" (to Mr. Spock) "You lied."
Mr. Spock: "I exaggerated."
Kirk: "Hours instead of days. Now, we have minutes
instead of hours." |
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "Sauce for the goose, Mr.
Saavik. The odds will be even." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "This is Admiral Kirk. We
tried it once your way, Khan, are you game for a rematch?
Khan...I'm laughing at the superior intellect..."
Khan: "Full impulse power!"
Joachim: "No, sir! You have Genesis! You can
whatever you--"
Khan: (grabs him) "FULL POWER, DAMN YOU!!" |
|
|
|
Kirk: "He's followed me this far,
he'll be back...but, from where?"
Mr. Spock: "He's intelligent, but not experienced.
His pattern indicates...two dimensional thinking..." |
|
|
|
Khan: "No, Kirk...the game's not
over. To the last, I will grapple with thee..." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Scotty, I need warp speed in
three minutes or we're all dead!" |
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: (mind melds with Dr.
McCoy) "Remember..." |
|
|
|
Khan: (watches as the Enterprise
limps away) "No! No, you can't get away! From hell's
heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last
breath at thee!" |
|
|
|
Khan: "Engine Room, well done,
Scotty."
Dr. McCoy: "Jim...I think you better get down
here..."
Kirk: "Bones?"
Dr. McCoy: "...better...hurry..." |
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: (holding Kirk back) "No!
You'll flood the whole compartment!!"
Kirk: "He'll die!"
Scotty: "Sir, he's dead already..."
Dr. McCoy: "It's too late..." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Spock!"
Mr. Spock: "The ship...out of danger?"
Kirk: "Yes!"
Mr. Spock: "Don't grieve, Admiral...it is logical.
The needs of the many...outweigh..."
Kirk: "The needs of the few?"
Mr. Spock: "Or the one. I never took...the
Kobayashi Maru test...until now...what do you think of my
solution?"
Kirk: (near tears) "Spock..."
Mr. Spock: "I have been...and always shall
be...your friend." (puts his hand to the glass in the
Vulcan salute) "Live long...and prosper." (turns his back
and slumps against the glass, dead)
Kirk: "No..." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "We are assembled here to pay
final respects to our honoured dead. And yet it should be
noted, that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes
place in the shadow of a new life; the sunrise of a new
world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to
protect and nourish. He did not feel the sacrifice a vain
or empty one and we shall not debate his profound wisdom
at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say
this...of all the souls I have encountered in my
travels...his was the most...human..." |
|
|
|
David: "Lieutenant Saavik was right.
You never have faced death."
Kirk: "No, not like this. I haven't faced death.
I've cheated death. Tricked death and patted myself on the
back for my ingenuity. I know nothing."
David: "You knew enough to tell Saavik that how we
deal with death is as important as how we deal with life."
Kirk: "They're just words."
David: "But, good words. That's where ideas begin.
Maybe you should listen to them."
Kirk: "Is that what you came here to say?"
David: "Mainly..." (goes to leave, but turns)
"...and also that I'm...proud. Very proud...to be your
son." |
|
|
|
Kirk: "Captain's log, stardate:
8141.6. Starship Enterprise departing for Ceti Alpha V to
pick the crew of the U.S.S. Reliant. All is well, and yet
I can't help but wondering about the friend I leave
behind. 'There are always possibilities', Spock said, and
if Genesis is, indeed, life from death, I must return to
this place again." |
|
|
|
Dr. 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. Far better resting place I go to
than I have ever known.'"
Carol: "Is that a poem?"
Kirk: "No. Something Spock was trying to tell
me...on my birthday."
Dr. McCoy: "You okay, Jim? How do you feel?"
Kirk: "Young...I feel young." |
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "Space, the final
frontier. These are continuing voyages of the starship
Enterprise. Her ongoing mission to explore strange new
worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations,
to boldly go where no man has gone...before..." |
