Star Trek Quotes Part 03: "STII:TWOK" Saavik: "Captain's Log, Stardate 8130.3. Starship Enterprise on training mission to Gamma Hydra Section Fourteen, Coordinates 22-87-4. Approaching Neutral Zone. All systems normal, and functioning." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Saavik: "Mister Sulu, plot an intercept course." Sulu: "May I remind the captain that if a starship enters the zone..." Saavik: "I'm aware of my responsibilities, Mister." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Saavik: "Any suggestions, Admiral?" Kirk: "Prayer, Mister Saavik, the Klingons don't take prisoners." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "Physician, heal thyself." McCoy: "Is that all you got to say? What about my performance?" Kirk: "I'm not a drama critic." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "Well, Mister Saavik, are you going to stay with a sinking ship?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 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 every commander may face. Has that never occurred to you?" Saavik: "No, sir, it has not." Kirk: "How we deal with death, is at least as important as how we face life, wouldn't you say?" Saavik: "As I indicated, Admiral, that thought had not occurred to me." Kirk: "Well, now you have something new to think about. Carry on." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "Aren't you dead?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "I assume you're loitering around here to learn what efficiency rating I plan to give your cadets." Spock: "I am understandably curious." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "They destroyed the Simulator Room and you with it." Spock: "The Kobayashi Maru scenario frequently wreaks havoc with 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 being tried." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "Oh, by the way, thank you for this." Spock: "I know of your fondness for antiques." Kirk: "'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.' Message, Spock?" Spock: "None that I'm conscious of. Except of course, 'Happy birthday'. Surely, 'the best of times'." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "Why, bless me, Doctor, what beams you into this neck of the woods?" McCoy: "Beware Romulans bearing gifts. Happy birthday, Jim." Kirk: "Thanks." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3" Kirk: "Romulan ale, why Bones, you know this is illegal." McCoy: "I only use it for medicinal purposes. I got aboard a ship that brings them in a case every now and then. Now don't be afraid." Kirk: "2283." McCoy: "Yeah, well it takes this stuff a while to ferment." Kirk: "Ohh." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 McCoy: "Here, give me. Now, you open this one." Kirk: "I'm almost afraid to. What is it? Klingon aphrodisiacs?" McCoy: "No. More antiques for your collection." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "Well, Bones, this is...charming." McCoy: "They're four-hundred years old. You don't find many with the lenses still intact." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "What is it?" McCoy: "They're for your eyes. For most patients your age, I'd usually recommend Retinax-Five" Kirk: "I'm allergic to Retinax." McCoy: "Exactly. Cheers." Kirk: "Cheers." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 McCoy: "Happy birthday." Kirk: "I don't know what to say." McCoy: "Well, you could say, 'Thank you.'" Kirk: "Thank you." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 McCoy: "Damn it, Jim, what the hell's the matter with you? Other people have birthdays, why are we treating yours like a funeral?" Kirk: "Bones, I don't want to be lectured." McCoy: "What the hell do you want? This is not about age, and you know it. It's about you flying a goddamn computer console when you want to be out there hopping galaxies." Kirk: "Spare me your notions of poetry please, we all have our assigned duties." McCoy: "Bull. You're a-hiding. Hiding behind rules and regulations." Kirk: "Who am I hiding from?" McCoy: "From yourself, Admiral." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Kirk: "Don't mince words, Bones, what do you really think?" 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.3 Chekov: "Starship Log, Stardate 8130.4. Log entry by First Officer Pavel Chekov. Starship Reliant on orbital approach to Ceti Alpha VI in connection with Project Genesis. We are continuing our search for a lifeless planet to satisfy the requirement of a test site for the Genesis experiment. So far no success." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Terrell: "Get on the com-pick to Doctor Marcus. Listen, maybe it's something we can transplant, hmm?" Chekov: "You *know* what she'll say." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 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's exactly the kind of man that'll--" Carol: "Listen kiddo, Jim Kirk was many things, but he was *never* a boy scout." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Terrell: "Chekov, are you sure these are the correct coordinates?" Chekov: "Captain, this is the *garden spot* of Ceti Alpha VI!" Terrell: "I can barely see it." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Chekov: "There's nothing here. The tricorder must be broken." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Terrell: "What the hell is that?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Chekov: "'Botany Bay'. Botany Bay? Oh no!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Chekov: "Khan!" Khan: [To Terrell] "I don't know you." [To Chekov] "But you, I never forget a face, Mister Chekov, isn't it? I never thought to see your face again." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Terrell: "Chekov, who is this man?" Chekov: "Criminal, Captain. A product of late twentieth-century genetic engineering." Terrell: "What do you want with us? Sir, I demand to--" Khan: "You are in a position to demand nothing, sir. I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant nothing. What you see is all that remains of the ship's company and crew of the Botany Bay, marooned here fifteen years ago by Captain James T. Kirk." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Terrell: "Listen, you men and women, you haven't--" Khan: "Captain, Captain, Cap..." [Laughs] "Save your strength, Captain." [Laughs] "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, myself and the ship's company in cryogenic freeze." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Terrell: "I've never even met Admiral Kirk." Khan: "Admiral? Admiral! Admiral... Never told you how *Admiral* Kirk sent seventy of us into exile here on this barren sandheap 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!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Allow me to introduce you to Ceti Alpha V's only remaining *indigenous* lifeform. What do you think? It killed twenty of my people...including my beloved wife. Oh, not all at once. And not instantly to be sure. 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "That's better. Now, tell me...why are you here? And tell me where I may find James Kirk." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "I hate inspections." Sulu: "I'm delighted. Any chance to go aboard the Enterprise..." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Well I for one am glad to have you at the helm for three weeks. I don't think these kids can steer." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Permission to come aboard, Captain." Spock: "Welcome, Admiral. I think you know my training crew. Certainly they have come to know you." Kirk: "Yes, we've been through death and life together." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Mister Scott, you're all spaced-out. You're well." Scott: "I had a wee bout, sir, but uh, Doctor McCoy pulled me through." Kirk: "Wee bout of what?" McCoy: "Shore leave, Admiral." Kirk: "Oh, I see." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "And who do we have here?" Preston: "Midshipman First Class Peter Preston, engineer's mate, *sir*!" Kirk: "First training voyage, Mister Preston?" Preston: "Yes, *sir*!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Well, shall we start with the Engine Room?" Scott: "We'll see you there, and everything is in order." Kirk: "That'll be a pleasant surprise, Mister Scott." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "He's never what I expect, sir." Spock: "What surprises you, Lieutenant?" Saavik: "He seems so...human." Spock: "Nobody's perfect, Saavik." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 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've had to listen to Mister Scott on the com telling me his troubles? Do you have any idea the ribbing I've had to endure in the Officer's Mess to the effect that the Enterprise is a flying death trap?" Preston: "Oh no, sir. Well, 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..." Scott: [Clears throat] Preston: "Sir!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Midshipman, you're a tiger." Scott: "My sister's youngest admiral. Crazy to get to space." Kirk: "Every young man's fancy. I seem to remember it myself." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Well, Mister Scott, are your cadets capable of handling a minor training cruise?" Scott: "Give the word, Admiral." Kirk: "Mister Scott, the word is given." Scott: "Aye, sir." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "But Admiral, what about the rest of the inspection?" Kirk: ["Later."] --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "Lieutenant, have you ever piloted a starship out of Spacedock?" Saavik: "Never, sir." Spock: "Take her out, Mister Saavik." Saavik: "Aye, sir." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "For everything there is a first time, Lieutenant. Don't you agree, Admiral?" Kirk: "Mmm-hmm." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Would you like a tranquilizer?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "Mister Sulu, you may...indulge yourself." Sulu: "Aye, sir!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Lieutenant, are you wearing your hair differently?" Saavik: "It's still regulation, Admiral." Kirk: ["Oh."] --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "May I speak, sir?" Kirk: "Self-expression doesn't seem to be one of your problems. Saavik: [Looks at Kirk quizzingly] Kirk: "You'r bothered by your performance on the Kobayashi Maru." Saavik: "I failed to resolve the situation." Kirk: "There's no correct solution. It's a test of character." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "May I ask how you dealt with the test?" Kirk: "You may ask!" Saavik: [Again looks at Kirk quizzingly] Kirk: "That's a little joke." Saavik: "Humor. It is a difficult concept. It is not logical." Kirk: "We learn by doing." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Who's been holding up the damn elevator?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "She change her hairstyle?" Kirk: "Haven't noticed." McCoy: "Wonderful stuff that Romulan ale." Kirk: "Hmm." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Never rains, but it pours." Kirk: "As a physician you of all people should appreciate the dangers of reopening old wounds." McCoy: "Sorry." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 David: "I've tried warning you before. Scientists have always been pawns of the military!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "Starfleet has kept the peace for over a hundred years. I cannot and will not subscribe to your interpretation of this event!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Jedda: "But what about Reliant? She's on her way." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "Get your gear together where it's handy." March: "And where are we going?" Carol: "That's for us to know and Reliant to find out." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "We have a problem. Something may be wrong on Regula One, we've been ordered to investigate." Spock: "If memory serves, Regula One is a scientific research laboratory." Kirk: "I told Starfleet Command all we have is a boatload of children, but we're the only ship in the quadrant. Spock, these cadets of yours, how good are they? How will they respond under real pressure?" Spock: "As with all living things, each according to his gifts. Of course, the ship is yours." Kirk: "No, that won't be necessary. Just get me to Regula One." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "As a teacher on a training mission, I am content to command the Enterprise. If we are to go on actual duty, it is clear that the senior officer on board must assume command." Kirk: "It may be nothing. Garbled communications. You take the ship." Spock: "Jim, you proceed from a false assumption. I am a Vulcan. I have no ego to bruise." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "You are about to remind me that logic alone dictates your actions?" Spock: "I would not remind you of that which you know so well. 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 wouldn't have presumed to debate you." Spock: "That is wise." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been and always shall be yours." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Sulu: "So much for the little training cruise." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "He tasks me! He tasks me, and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nebia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round Perdition's Flames before I give him up!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "What exactly is Genesis? Well, put simply, Genesis is life from lifelessness. It is a process whereby molecular structure is reorganized at the subatomic level into life-generating matter of equal mass. Stage One of our experiments was conducted in a laboratory. Stage Two of the series will be attempted in a lifeless underground. Stage Three will involve the process on a planetary scale. It is our intention to introduce the Genesis Device into a preselected area of a lifeless space body, a moon or other dead form. The device is delivered, instanteously causing what we call the 'Genesis Effect'. Matter is reorganized with life-generating results. Instead of a dead moon, a living, breathing planet capable of supporting whatever we see fit to deposit on it." Spock: "Fascinating." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "The reformed moon represented here represents the merest fraction of the Genesis potential, should the Federation wish to fund these experiments to their logical conclusion. When we consider the cosmic problems of population and food supply, the usefulness of this process becomes clear. This concludes our proposal. Thank you for your attention." Spock: "It literally is 'genesis'." Kirk: "The power of creation." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Dear Lord, do 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!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "I do not dispute that in the wrong hands--" McCoy: "'In the wrong hands'? Would you mind telling me whose are the right hands, my logical friend? Are you by any chance in favor of these experiments?" Kirk: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, this isn't the--" Spock: "Really, Doctor 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--" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Slow to one-half impulse power. Let's be friends." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "Sir, may I quote General Order Twelve, 'On the approach of any vessel when communications have not been established--" Spock: "Lieutenant, the admiral is well aware of the regulations." Saavik: "Aye, sir." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Joachim: "They're requesting communications, sir." Khan: "Let them eat static!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Joachim: "They're still running with shields down." Khan: "Of course, we are one big happy fleet!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Ah 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Uhura: "Admiral, the commander of the Reliant is signaling. He wishes to discuss terms of our surrender." Kirk: "Put it on-screen." Uhura: "But..." Kirk: "Do it! While we still have time." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Khan..." Khan: "You still remember, Admiral. I cannot help but be touched. I, of course, remember *you*." Kirk: "What is the meaning of this attack? Where is the crew of the Reliant?" Khan: "Surely I have made my meaning plain. I mean to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I deprive your ship of power and when I swing around you I mean to deprive you of your life! But I wanted you to know first who it was who had beaten you!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Khan, if it's me you want, I'll have myself beamed aboard. Spare my crew." Khan: "I make you a counterproposal. I'll agree to your terms, if...if in addition to yourself, you'll hand over all data and material regarding the project called 'Genesis'." Kirk: "'Genesis'? What's that?" Khan: "Don't insult my intelligence, Kirk." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Give me some time to recall the data on our computers." Khan: "I give you sixty seconds, Admiral." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Clear the bridge." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Admiral..." Kirk: "Please, please, you've got to give us time. The Bridge is smashed, the computer's inoperative." Khan: "Time is a luxury you don't have, Admiral." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Fifteen seconds, Admiral." Kirk: "Khan, how do we know you'll keep your word?" Khan: "Oh, I've given you no word to keep, Admiral. In my judgement you simply have no alternative." Kirk: "I see your point. Stand by to receive our transmission." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Time's up, Admiral." Kirk: "Here it comes." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Where's the override? The override?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Sulu: "Sir, you did it." Kirk: "I did nothing! Except get caught with my britches down. Must be going senile. Mister Saavik, you go right on quoting regulations! Meantime, let's find out how badly we've been hurt." Uhura: [Gasp!] Saavik: [Gasp!] --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Preston: "Is the word given, Admiral?" Kirk: "The word is given. Warp speed." Preston: "Aye." [Dies] Scott: "Oh, why?" Kirk: "He wants to kill me for passing sentence on him fifteen years ago, and he doesn't care who stands between him and his vengeance." McCoy: "I'm sorry, Scotty." Scott: "He stayed at his post, when the trainees ran." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "Admiral, this is Spock." Kirk: "Yes, Spock." Spock: "Engine Room reports auxilliary power restored. We can proceed at impulse power." Kirk: "Best speed to Regula One, Kirk out." [To Scott] "Scotty, I have to ask. Is there any chance of getting the mains back on the line?" Scott: "I do not think so, sir, but you'll have my best." [To McCoy] "Thanks. I know you tried, Doctor." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "You all right?" McCoy: "I don't know. Doctors lose patients sometimes, damn it. I'm still in the dark. How did he know about Genesis?" Kirk: "I don't know. But what's important now is to prevent him from getting his hands on it. You said it yourself, it's a bang that could rearrange the universe." McCoy: "There still may be time. You gave as good as you got." Kirk: "We're alive only because I knew something about these ships that he didn't." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 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 that maybe he won't hurt?" McCoy: "Yeah, I can spare me." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "Begging the admiral's pardon, General Order Fifteen, 'No flag officer shall beam into a hazardous area without armed escort.'" Kirk: "There's no such regulation." Saavik: [Gives Kirk the "Yes there is" look] Kirk: "All right, join the party." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Mister Spock, the ship is yours." Spock: "Jim, be careful." McCoy: "*We* will." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Captain, where's Doctor Marcus? Where're the Genesis materials?" Terrell: "He couldn't find them. Even the databanks were empty." Kirk: "Erased?" Terrell: "He tortured those people. But none of them would tell him anything. He went wild, he slit their throats. He wanted to tear the place apart. But it was late. He had to get back to the Reliant in time to blow you to bits." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "Where's Reliant's crew? Dead?" Terrell: "Marooned on Ceti Alpha V. He's completely mad, Admiral. He blames you for the death of his wife." Kirk: "I know what he blames me for." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Kirk to Enterprise." Spock: "Spock here." Kirk: "Captain Spock, damage report." 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." 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: "Meaning you can't even beam us back?" Spock: "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 starbase, and alert Starfleet Command as soon as you're out of jamming range." Uhura: "Sir, we won't leave you behind." Kirk: "Uhura, if don't hear from us there won't be anyone behind. Kirk out." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Go? Where are we going?" Kirk: "Where they went." McCoy: "Suppose they went nowhere?" Kirk: "Then this'll be your big chance to get away from it all." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Genesis, I presume." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 David: "He killed everybody we left behind!" Carol: "Oh of course he didn't. David, you're just making this harder." Terrell: "I'm afraid even it's harder than you think, doctor. --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Chekov..." Chekov: "I'm...sorry, Admiral." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Terrell: "Your excellency, have you been listening?" Khan: "I have indeed, Captain. You have done well." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 David: "I knew it, you son of a bitch!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Captain, we are waiting. What is the delay?" Terrell: "All is well, sir. You...you have the coordinates to beam up Genesis." Khan: "First things, first, Captain. *Kill* Admiral Kirk." Terrell: "Sir, it is difficult. I try to obey, but..." Khan: "*Kill him*." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Kill him, Terrell, *now*!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "God's sakes! What is it?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "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!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Khan! Khan!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "If Enterprise followed orders, she's long since gone. If she couldn't obey, she's...finished." David: "So are we, it looks like." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "I don't understand, who's responsible for all this. Who is 'Khan'?" Kirk: "Well, it's a long story." David: "We appear to have plenty of time." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Is there anything to eat? I don't know about anybody else, but I'm starved." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "How can you think of food at a time like this?" Kirk: "First order of business...survival." Carol: "There's food in the Genesis cave. Enough to last a *lifetime*, if necessary." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "We thought this was Genesis." Carol: "This? It the Starfleet Corps of Engineers ten months in spacesuits to tunnel out all this. What we did in there, we did in a day." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "David, why don't you show Doctor McCoy and the lieutenant our idea of food?" David: "But we can't just sit here." Kirk: "Oh yes we can." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "Admiral..." Kirk: "As your teacher Mister Spock is fond of saying, I like to think that there always are...possibilities." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "I did what you wanted. I stayed away. Why didn't you tell him?" Carol: "How can you ask me that? Were we together? Were we going to be? You had your world, and I had mine. And I wanted him in mine. Not chasing through the universe with his father." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "Actually, he's a lot like you...in many ways. Please tell me what you're feeling." Kirk: "There's a man out there I haven't seen in fifteen years who's trying to kill me. You showed me your son'd be happy to help. My son...my life that could've been...and wasn't. What am I feeling? Old...worn out." Carol: "Let me show you something...that'll make you feel...*young* as when the world was new." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Joachim: "Impulse power restored." Khan: "Excellent. More than a match for poor Enterprise." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "You did all this in a day?" Carol: "The matrix formed in a day. The lifeforms grew later at a *substantially* acclerated rate." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Carol: "Can I cook, or can't I?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Where is she?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "Sir, 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: "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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Kirk to Spock, it's two hours, are you ready?" Spock: "Right on schedule, Admiral. Just give us your coordinates and we'll beam you aboard." Kirk: "All right!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "I don't like to lose." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "By the book?" Kirk: "By the book! Regulation Forty-Six-A, 'If transmissions are being monitored during battle...'" Saavik: "'...no uncoded messages on an open channel.'" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "You lied." Spock: "I exaggerated." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Hours instead of days. Now we have minutes instead of hours." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "That young man, he's my son!" Spock: "Fascinating." --"STII:TWOK", STardate 8130.4 Spock: "She can still outrun us. And outgun us. But there is the Mutura Nebula at 1-5-3 Mark 4." Kirk: "Scotty, can we make it inside?" Scott: "The energizer's bypassed like a Christmas tree so don't give me too many bumps." Kirk: "No promises. On your way." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "Trouble with the nebula, sir. With all that static discharge and gas clouds our tactical this way. Visual won't function, and shields will be useless." Spock: "Sauce for the goose, Mister Saavik. The odds will be even." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "There she is! There she is! Ah! But not so wounded as we were led to believe. So much the better!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Joachim: "They go in there, we'll lose them." Khan: "*Explain* it to them!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Saavik: "Admiral, what if Reliant fails to follow us into the nebula?" Spock: "I think we can guarantee that she'll follow us, Lieutenant. Remind me to explain to you the concept of the human ego." Kirk: "Best speed, Scotty." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Uhura, patch me up." Uhura: "Aye, sir. You're on, Admiral." 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Full impulse power." Joachim: "No, sir! You have Genesis! You can have whatever you--" Khan: "Full power! Damn you!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "I'll say this for him, he's consistent." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "We are now entering the Mutara Nebula." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Evasive starboard!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Damage, Mister Scott." Scott: "Admiral, I've got to take the mains off the line. It's ra...diation." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Your argument?" Joachim: "Yours...is the...superior." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Chekov: "Could you use another hand, Admiral?" Kirk: "Man the weapons console, Mister Chekov." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "He won't break off now. He followed me this far, he'll be back. But from *where*?" Spock: "He's intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates two- dimensional thinking." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Chekov: "Torpedoes ready, sir." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Look sharp." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "Young Kirk...the game's not over." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "'To the last, I will grapple with thee.'" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "Admiral, scanning an energy source on Reliant, a pattern I've never seen before." David: "It's the Genesis wave." Kirk: "What?" David: "They're on a buildup to detonation!" Kirk: "How soon?" David: "Encoded four minutes." Kirk: "We'll beam over and stop it." David: "You can't." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Scotty, I need warp speed in three minutes or we're all dead." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Are you out of your Vulcan mind? No human can tolerate the radiation that's in there!" Spock: "As you are so fond of observing, Doctor, I am not human." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "You're *not* going in there." Spock: "Perhaps you're right. What is Mister Scott's condition?" McCoy: "Well, I don't think that he--" Spock: "Sorry, Doctor, I have no time to discuss this logically. --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "Remember." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Scott: "Spock, get out of there! *Spock*!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Engine Room, what's happening?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "Good god, man, get out of there!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Scott: "No! No, Spock, *don't*!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Sulu: "Not going to make it, are we?" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Khan: "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.'" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Officer: "Sir, the mains are back online." Kirk: "Bless you, Scotty. Go Sulu!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Engine Room. Well done, Scotty." McCoy: "Jim, I think you'd better get down here." Kirk: "Bones?" McCoy: "Better hurry." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 McCoy: "No! You'll flood the whole compartment!" Kirk: "He'll die!" Scott: "Die? He's dead already." McCoy: "It's too late, Jim." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "Ship, out of danger?" Kirk: "Yes." Spock: "Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many... outweigh--" Kirk: "The needs of the few." Spock: "Or the one." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "I never took the Kobayashi Maru test...until now. What do you think of my solution?" Kirk: "Spock." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "I have been...and always shall be...your friend." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Spock: "Live long...and prosper." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "No..." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 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 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 this sacrifice in vain, or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: Of my friend, I can only say this. Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most...*human*." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 David: "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 around death, and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing." David: "You knew enough, to tell Saavik that how we face death is at least as important as how we face life." Kirk: "Just words." David: "But good words. That's where ideas begin. Maybe you should listen to them." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 David: "I was wrong about you, and I'm sorry." Kirk: "Is that what you came here to say?" David: "Mainly. And also, that I'm proud...very proud...to be your son." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4 Kirk: "Captain's Log, Stardate 8141.6. Starship Enterprise departing for Ceti Alpha V to pick up the crew of U.S.S. Reliant. All is well. And yet, I can't help 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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8141.6 McCoy: "He's really not dead...as long as we remember him." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8141.6 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: "Is that a poem?" Kirk: "No. Something Spock was trying to tell me on my birthday!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8141.6 McCoy: "You okay, Jim? How do you feel?" Kirk: "Young! I feel young!" --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8141.6 Spock: "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." --"STII:TWOK", Stardate 8141.6 -- Jeff "Koganuts" Koga ||"You're not the man I knew ten years ago."
