Quotes
-
McCoy : [Kirk runs in to the engine room and sees Spock inside the reactor compartment. He rushes over but McCoy and Scotty hold him back] No! You'll flood the whole compartment!
Kirk : He'll die!
Scotty : Sir! He's dead already.
McCoy : It's too late.
[They let go and Kirk walks to the glass and pushes the intercom button]
Kirk : Spock!
[Spock slowly walks over to the glass and pushes the intercom]
Spock : The ship... out of danger?
Kirk : Yes.
Spock : Do not grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many, outweigh...
Kirk : The needs of the few.
Spock : Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?
Kirk : Spock.
[Spock sits down]
Spock : [Gasping] I have been... and always shall be... your friend.
[he places a Vulcan salute on the glass]
Spock : [Gasping] Live long... and prosper.
[Spock dies]
Kirk : No.

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.
McCoy : 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?
David Marcus : He cheated.
Kirk : I 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.
-
McCoy : 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.
McCoy : You okay, Jim? How do you feel?
Kirk : Young. I feel young.

[Discussing the effects of the Genesis torpedo]
McCoy : Dear Lord. You think we're intelligent enough to... suppose... what if this thing were used where life already exists?
Spock : It would destroy such life in favor of its new matrix.
McCoy : Its "new matrix"? Do you have any idea what you're saying?
Spock : 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.
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!
Spock : Really, Dr. McCoy. You must learn to govern your passions; they will be your undoing. Logic suggests...
McCoy : Logic? My God, the man's talking about logic; we're talking about universal Armageddon! You green-blooded, inhuman...
-
Dr. McCoy : You're hiding... hiding behind rules and regulations.
Kirk : Who am I hiding from?
Dr. McCoy : From yourself, Admiral.
Kirk : Don't mince words, Bones. What do you really think?
Dr. McCoy : 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.
-
McCoy : [10:28] Dammit Jim, what the hell is the matter with you? Other people have birthdays, why are we treating yours like a funeral?
-
McCoy : [grabbing Spock's arm] You're not going in there!
Spock : Perhaps you're right. What is Mr. Scott's condition?
McCoy : [turns to Scotty] Well I don't think that he...
[Spock use the vulcan nerve pinch on McCoy]
Spock : I'm sorry, Doctor, I have no time to explain this logically.
[sits McCoy down and performs mind meld]
Spock : Remember!
-
McCoy : 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.
[Leaves]
Commander Nyota Uhura : Now what is that supposed to mean?
-
McCoy : [reference to the turbolift] Who's been holding up the damn elevator?
-
McCoy : [1:44:56] He's really not dead as long as we remember him
-
Carol Marcus : I don't understand. Who's responsible for all this? Who is Khan?
Kirk : Well, it's a long story.
David Marcus : We appear to have plenty of time.
Kirk : Is there anything to eat? I don't know about anybody else, but I'm starved.
McCoy : How can you think of food at a time like this?
Kirk : First order of business: survival.
Carol Marcus : There is food in the Genesis cave, enough to last a lifetime; if necessary.
McCoy : We thought this was Genesis.
Carol Marcus : This? It took the Starfleet Corps of Engineers ten months in space suits to tunnel out all this. What we did in there, we did in a day.
-
Scotty : [one of his cadets has been killed] He stayed at his post when the trainees ran.
Spock : [calling on the intercom] Admiral, this Spock.
Kirk : Yes, Spock.
Spock : Engine room reports auxiliary power restored. We can proceed at impulse power.
Kirk : Best speed to Regula-1. Kirk out.
McCoy : I'm sorry, Scotty.
-
Kirk : [receiving a pair of antique eyeglasses] Why, Bones, this is... charming.
McCoy : For most patients your age, I'd recommend Retinax 5.
Kirk : I'm allergic to Retinax.
McCoy : Exactly. Cheers.
Kirk : Cheers.
[taking a sip of Romulan ale, the taste obviously doesn't agree with him]
Kirk : [forcing himself to swallow] Ahh.
-
Kirk : [seeing the Genesis cave] You did all this in a day?
Carol Marcus : The matrix formed in a day. The life forms grew later at a substantially accelerated rate.
McCoy : Jim! This is incredible! Have you ever seen the like?
-
Kirk : I'm going down there.
McCoy : Khan could be down there.
Kirk : He's been there. Hasn't found what he wants. Can you spare someone? There may be people hurt.
McCoy : Yeah. I can spare me.
Saavik : Begging the Admiral's pardon. General Order 15. "No flag officer shall beam into a hazardous area without armed escort."
Kirk : There's no such regulation.
[getting her point]
Kirk : All right. Join the party. Mr. Spock, the ship is yours.
-
Commander Nyota Uhura : Bridge to Admiral Kirk.
Kirk : Kirk here.
Commander Nyota Uhura : Sir, there's a message coming in for you from station Regula One. Doctor Carol Marcus.
Kirk : [pause] I'll take it in my quarters, Uhura.
McCoy : Never rains, but it pours.
Kirk : As a doctor, you of all people should know the dangers of re-opening old wounds.
McCoy : [after Kirk exits] Sorry.
