| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
We are assembled here today to pay final respects
to our honored dead. And yet, it should be noted that in the
midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow
of 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 this sacrifice a vain or empty one. And, we will
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. |

| Khan Noonian Singh: |
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 Noonian Singh: |
From Hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's
sake, I spit my last breath at thee. |
| ----- |
| Lt. Saavik: |
You lied. |
| Capt. Spock: |
I exaggerated. |
| ----- |
| Dr. David Marcus: |
Scientists have always been pawns of the military! |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
You've managed to kill just about everyone
else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target. |
| ----- |
| Capt. Spock: |
[T]he needs of the many, out weigh the needs
of the few. |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
I don't like to lose. |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
How we deal with death, is at least as important
as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say? |
| ----- |
| Khan Noonian Singh: |
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. |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
Khan, I'm laughing at the superior intellect. |
| ----- |
| Cmdr. Montgomery Scott: |
Give the word, Admiral. |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
Mr. Scott, the word is given. |
| ----- |
| Cmdr. Leonard McCoy: |
Where are we going? |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
Where they went. |
| Cmdr. Leonard McCoy: |
Suppose "they went" nowhere. |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
Then, this will be your big chance to get away
from it all. |
| ----- |
| Capt. Spock: |
Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny.
Anything else, is a waste of material. |
| ----- |
| Lt. Saavik: |
Any suggestions, Admiral? |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
Prayer, Mr. Saavik. The Klingons don't take
prisoners. |
| ----- |
| Capt. Spock: |
What surprises you, Lieutenant? |
| Lt. Saavik: |
He's so . . . human. |
| Capt. Spock: |
Nobody's perfect, Saavik. |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
I don't believe in the no-win scenario. |
| ----- |
| Cmdr. Leonard McCoy: |
Beware Romulans bearing gifts. |
| ----- |
| Khan Noonian Singh: |
You are in a position to demand nothing, sir.
I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant, nothing. |
| ----- |
| Capt. Spock: |
[Y]ou must learn to govern your passions, they
will be your undoing. |
| ----- |
| Khan Noonien Singh: |
[I]'ve given you no word to keep Admiral. In
my judgment, you simply have no alternative. |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the
young, doctor. |
| ----- |
| Lt. Saavik: |
Humor. It is a difficult concept. It is not
logical. |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
We learn by doing. |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
You're about to remind me that logic alone
dictates your actions? |
| Capt. Spock: |
I would not remind you of that which you know
so well. |
| ----- |
| Cmdr. Leonard McCoy: |
Get back your command. Get it back before you
turn into part of this collection--before you really do grow
old. |
| ----- |
| Khan Noonian Singh: |
Time is a luxury, you don't have, Admiral. |
| Cmdr. Leonard McCoy: |
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! |
| ----- |
| Lt. Saavik: |
Visual won't function, and shields will be
useless. |
| Capt. Spock: |
Sauce for the goose, Mr. Saavik. The odds will
be even. |
| ----- |
| Capt. Spock: |
As a matter of cosmic history, it has always
been easier to destroy, than to create. |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
[S]hall we start with the engine room? |
| Cmdr. Montgomery Scott: |
We'll see you there, sir, and everything is
in order. |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
That'll be a pleasant surprise, Mr. Scott. |
| ----- |
| Capt. Spock: |
For everything, there is a first time, Lieutenant. |
| ----- |
| Capt. Spock: |
Remember. |
| ----- |
| Admr. James T. Kirk: |
Aren't you dead? |
