Merritt Butrick as David Marcus

  • (Merritt Butrick) "Don't have kittens, Genesis is going to work. You'll be remembered in one breath with Newton, Einstein, Surak --"
  • (Carol Marcus) "Huh. No respect from my offspring."
  • (Merritt Butrick) "Reliant is supposed to be at our disposal, not vice-versa."
  • (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."
  • (Merritt Butrick) "Oh, no. Let go. He can't take it --."
  • (Kirk) "Khan -- Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me. You were going 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) "KHAAANNNN."
  • (Kirk) "KHAAANNNN."
  • (Merritt Butrick) "Lieutenant Saavik was right: You never have faced death."
  • (Kirk) "No. Not like this. I haven't faced death. I've cheated death. I've tricked my way out of death and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing."
  • (Merritt Butrick) "You knew enough to tell Saavik that how we face death is at least as important as how we face life."
  • (Kirk) "Just words."
  • (Merritt Butrick) "But good words. That's where ideas begin. Maybe you should listen to them. I was wrong about you. And I'm sorry."
  • (Kirk) "Is that what you came here to say?"
  • (Merritt Butrick) "Mainly. And also that I'm proud; very proud; to be your son."
  • (Merritt Butrick) "Remember that overgrown Boy Scout you used to hang around with? That's exactly the kind of guy --"

  • (Merritt Butrick) "Every time we have dealings with Starfleet, I get nervous."

DeForest Kelley as McCoy

  • (DeForest Kelley) "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Dear Lord. You think we're intelligent enough to -- suppose -- what if this thing were used where life already exists?"

  • (DeForest Kelley) "Its "new matrix"? Do you have any idea what you're saying?"
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "I was not attempting to evaluate its moral implications, Doctor. As a matter of cosmic history, it has always been easier to destroy than to create."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "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."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Really, Dr. McCoy. You must learn to govern your passions; they will be your undoing. Logic suggests --"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Logic? My God, the man's talking about logic; we're talking about universal Armageddon. You green-blooded, inhuman --"
  • (Kirk) "Physician, heal thyself."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Is that all you've got to say? What about my performance?"
  • (Kirk) "I'm not a drama critic."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "He's not really dead. As long as we remember him."
  • (Kirk) "It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before. A far better resting place that I go to than I have ever known."
  • (Carol Marcus) "Is that a poem?"
  • (Kirk) "No. Something Spock was trying to tell me. On my birthday."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "You okay, Jim? How do you feel?"
  • (Kirk) "Young. I feel young."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Damn it Jim, what the hell is the matter with you? Other people have birthdays, why are we treating yours like a funeral?"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Are you out of your Vulcan mind? No human can tolerate the radiation that's in there."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "As you are so fond of observing, doctor, I am not human."
  • (Kirk) "Engine room. Well done, Scotty."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Jim -- I think you'd better get down here."

  • (DeForest Kelley) "Do you want a tranquilizer?"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Admiral, wouldn't it be easier to put an experienced crew back on the ship?"
  • (Kirk) "Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor."
  • (Commander Nyota Uhura) "Now what is that supposed to mean?"

  • (DeForest Kelley) "It never rains but it pours."

  • (DeForest Kelley) "You're hiding -- hiding behind rules and regulations."
  • (Kirk) "Who am I hiding from?"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "From yourself, Admiral."
  • (Kirk) "Don't mince words, Bones. What do you really think?"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Jim, I'm your doctor and I'm also your friend. Get back your command. Get it back before you turn into part of this collection, before you really do grow old."
  • (Saavik) "Admiral, may I ask you a question?"
  • (Kirk) "What's on your mind, Lieutenant?"
  • (Saavik) "The Kobayashi Maru, sir."
  • (Kirk) "Are you asking me if we're playing out that scenario now?"
  • (Saavik) "On the test, sir -- will you tell me what you did? I would really like to know."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario."
  • (Saavik) "How?"
  • (Kirk) "I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship."
  • (Saavik) "What?"
  • (Merritt Butrick) "He cheated."
  • (Kirk) "I changed the conditions of the test; got a commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose."

  • (DeForest Kelley) "Who's been holding up the damn elevator?"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "Now you open this one."
  • (Kirk) "I'm almost afraid to. What is it, Klingon aphrodisiacs?"
  • (DeForest Kelley) "No. More antiques for your collection."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "No. You'll flood the whole compartment."
  • (Kirk) "He'll die."
  • (James Doohan) "Sir. He's dead already."
  • (DeForest Kelley) "It's too late."
  • (Kirk) "Spock."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "The ship -- out of danger?"
  • (Kirk) "Yes."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Do not grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many, outweigh --"
  • (Kirk) "The needs of the few."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?"
  • (Kirk) "Spock."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "I have been -- and always shall be -- your friend."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Live long -- and prosper."
  • (Kirk) "No."

  • (Saavik) "Three minutes, thirty seconds."
  • (Kirk) "Distance from Reliant?"
  • (Walter Koenig) "4000 kilometers."
  • (George Takei) "We're not going to make it, are we?"
  • (Walter Koenig) "Captain Kirk was your host. You repaid his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder him."
  • (Capt. Terrell) "Chekov, are you sure these are the correct coordinates?"
  • (Walter Koenig) "Captain, this is the garden spot of Ceti Alpha Six."
  • (Khan) "Captain, Captain, Captain -- save your strength. These people have sworn to live and die at my command two hundred years before you were born. Do you mean 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 with myself and the ship's company in cryogenic freeze?"
  • (Capt. Terrell) "I never even met Admiral Kirk."
  • (Khan) "'Admiral?' 'Admiral.' 'Admiral' -- Never told you how 'Admiral' Kirk sent seventy of us into exile in this barren sandheap with only the contents of these cargo bays to sustain us?"
  • (Walter Koenig) "You lie. On Ceti Alpha Five there was life. A fair chance --"
  • (Khan) "THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE. Ceti Alpha Six 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 --"
  • (Walter Koenig) "Captain Kirk was your host. You repaid his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder him."
  • (Walter Koenig) "Oh, sir, it was Khan. We picked him up on Ceti Alpha Five -- He put -- creatures -- in our bodies -- to control our minds. He made us -- say lies -- do things. He thought he controlled us, but he did not. The Captain was strong."
  • (Khan) "You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later, as they grow, follows madness and death."
  • (Walter Koenig) "Khan, listen to me --"
  • (Khan) "These are pets, of course. Not quite domesticated."

Leonard Nimoy as Spock

  • (Leonard Nimoy) "We are now in violation of treaty, Captain."
  • (Saavik) "You lied."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "I exaggerated."
  • (Kirk) "Hours instead of days. Now we have minutes instead of hours."
  • (Saavik) "He's never what I expect, sir."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "What surprises you, Lieutenant?"
  • (Saavik) "He's so; human."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Nobody's perfect, Saavik."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "for everything; there is a first time. don't you agree admiral?"
  • (Saavik) "Trouble with the nebula, sir. All that static discharge and gas will cloud our visual display. Tactical won't function, and shields will be useless."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Sauce for the goose, Mr Saavik; the odds will be even."
  • (Kirk) "I suppose you're about to remind me that logic alone dictates your actions?"
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "I would not remind you of that which you know so well."
  • (Kirk) "Kirk to Enterprise."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Spock here."
  • (Kirk) "Captain Spock, damage report."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Admiral, if we go "by the book". like Lieutenant Saavik, hours could seem like days."
  • (Kirk) "I read you captain. Let's have it."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "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) "Meaning you can't even beam us back?"
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Not at present."
  • (Kirk) "Captain Spock, if you don't hear from us within one hour, your orders are to restore what power you can, take the Enterprise to the nearest star base, and alert Starfleet Command as soon as you're out of jamming range."
  • (Commander Nyota Uhura) "Sir, we won't leave you behind."
  • (Kirk) "Uhura, if you don't hear from us, there won't be anybody behind. Kirk out."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Space: the final frontier. These are the 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."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "The Kobayashi Maru scenario frequently wreaks havoc on students and equipment. As I recall you took the test three times yourself. Your final solution was, shall we say, unique?"
  • (Kirk) "It had the virtue of never having been tried."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "He is intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "You proceed from a false assumption. I am a Vulcan. I have no ego to bruise."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "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."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "That is wise. Were I to invoke logic, however, logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
  • (Kirk) "Or the one."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been and always shall be yours."

  • (DeForest Kelley) "We will."

James Doohan as Scotty

  • (Preston) "I believe you'll find everything ship-shape, Admiral."
  • (Kirk) "Oh, do you? Do you have any idea, Midshipman Preston, how many times I have had to listen to Mr. Scott on the comm, telling me his trouble? Do you have any idea of the ribbing I've had to endure in the officers' mess -- to the effect that the Enterprise is a flying death trap?"
  • (Preston) "Oh, no sir. Wha -- this is the finest engine room in the whole Starfleet. If the Admiral can't see the facts for himself, then, with all due respect, he's as blind as a Tiberian bat."
  • (James Doohan) "Ahem."
  • (Preston) "Sir."
  • (Kirk) "Midshipman, you're a tiger."
  • (James Doohan) "My sister's youngest, Admiral. Crazy to get to space."
  • (Kirk) "Every young man's fantasy. Seem to remember it myself."
  • (James Doohan) "The energizer's bypassed like a Christmas tree, so don't give me too many bumps."

Judson Scott as Joachim

  • (Judson Scott) "We're all with you, sir. But, consider this. We are free. We have a ship, and the means to go where we will. We have escaped permanent exile on Ceti Alpha V. You have defeated the plans of Admiral Kirk. You do not need to defeat him again."
  • (Khan) "He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him. I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up."
  • (Judson Scott) "They still haven't raised their shields."
  • (Khan) "Raise ours."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "Their shields are going up."
  • (Khan) "Lock phasers on target."
  • (Judson Scott) "Locking phasers on target."
  • (Leonard Nimoy) "They're locking phasers."
  • (Kirk) "Raise shields."
  • (Khan) "Fire."
  • (Judson Scott) "Our shields are dropping."
  • (Khan) "Then raise them."
  • (Judson Scott) "I can't."
  • (Khan) "The override. Where's the override?"
  • (Judson Scott) "Enterprise can wait. She's not going anywhere."
  • (Judson Scott) "They're still running with shields down."
  • (Khan) "Of course. We are one big, happy fleet. Ah, Kirk, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold?"
  • (Khan) "It is very cold in space."
  • (Khan) "Joachim?"
  • (Judson Scott) "Yours -- is -- superior --"
  • (Khan) "I shall avenge you."
  • (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."
  • (Judson Scott) "No, sir. You have Genesis. You can have whatever --"
  • (Khan) "FULL POWER. DAMN YOU."

George Takei as Sulu

  • (Kirk) "Stand by to receive our transmission."
  • (Kirk) "Mr. Sulu, lock phasers on target and await my command."
  • (George Takei) "Phasers locked."
  • (Kirk) "I hate inspections."
  • (George Takei) "I'm delighted. Any chance to go aboard the Enterprise."
  • (George Takei) "So much for a "little training cruise"."
