Data: Ladies and gentlemen and invited transgendered species, in my study of Terran and Betazoid conjugal rites I've discovered it is traditional to present the happy couple with a gift.

Data: I will always be puzzled by the human predilection for piloting vehicles at unsafe velocities.

Worf: It's you.
Data: The resemblance is striking... Fascinating.
B-4: Fascinating.

Shinzon: Not quite the face you remember.
Picard: Not quite.
Shinzon: A lifetime of violence will do that... They broke my nose, my jaw. But so much is the same... The eyes. Surely you recognize the eyes?
Picard: Yes.
Shinzon: Our eyes reflect our lives, don't they? And yours are so confident.

Data: Do you think this is a wise course of action, sir?
Picard: We're about to find out, Data.

B-4: What are you doing?
Data: I must deactivate you.
B-4: For how long?
Data: Indefinitely.
B-4: How long is...
Data: A long time, brother.

Picard: All hands, battle stations.

Picard: Do you know Gilbert & Sullivan?
Worf: No, I've not had a chance to meet all the new crew members.
Picard: They're composers, from the 19th century. Data was rehearsing "HMS Pinafore" just before he left.
     ♪ A British tar is a soaring soul ♪
     ♪ as free as a mountain bird ♪
     ♪ his fist should be ready to resist ♪
     ♪ a dictatorial word ♪
Sing, Worf.

Sojef: It's not our custom to hold anyone against their will. The android told us they were our enemies, and that more would follow. Are you our enemy?
Picard: Non-interference in other cultures is my people's prime directive.
Sojef: Your directive apparently doesn't include spying on other cultures.

Sojef: Not applying our technological abilities is a matter of choice. Creating a machine to do man's work takes something away from man. At one time, we explored the galaxy, just as you do.
Picard: You have warp capability?
Anij: Capability, yes.
Sojef: But where can warp drive take us except away from here?

Picard: It is a holographic projection... This is a computer-driven image created by photons and forcefields.
Anij: I know what a hologram is.

Anij: Let me ask you a question: Have you ever experienced a perfect moment in time? When time seemed to stop, and you could almost live in that moment?

Anij: Nothing more complicated than perception.

Admiral Dougherty: Jean-Luc, we're only moving 600 people.
Picard: How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? 1,000? 50,000? A million? How many people does it take?

Artim: Do machines ever play?
Data: I play the violin. My chess is quite advanced.
Artim: No, I mean play for fun.
Data: Androids do not have fun.
Artim: If you want to know what it's like to be a child, learn to play.

Picard: I'm about to commit a direct violation of our orders. Any of you who wish to object should do so now. It will be noted in my log.....
Data: Captain, I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say to hell with our orders.

Troi: Will, I think we have to tell him the truth.
Riker: If we tell the truth, the timeline...
Troi: Timeline? This is no time to argue about time. We don't have the time. What was I saying?

Troi: If you're looking for my professional opinion as ship's counselor, he's nuts.

Data: Captain, I believe I am feeling anxiety. It is an intriguing sensation. A most distracting...
Picard: Data, I'm sure it's a fascinating experience, but perhaps you should deactivate your emotion chip for now.
Data: Good idea, sir... Done.
Picard: Data, there are times that I envy you.

Data: Your efforts to break the encryption codes will not be successful. Nor will your attempts to assimilate me into your collective.
Borg Queen: Brave words. I've heard them before, from thousands of species across thousands of worlds since long before you were created. But now, they are all Borg.

Data: I am unlike any life-form you have encountered before. The codes stored in my neural net cannot be forcibly removed.
Borg Queen: You are an imperfect being created by an imperfect being. Finding your weakness is only a matter of time.

Zefram Cochrane: Why not?

Picard: Jean-Luc Picard... My name. That's my name. What's yours?

Zefram Cochrane: Statue?
Geordi: Oh, yeah! It's marble, about 20 meters tall, and you're looking up at the sky, and your hand's sort of reaching toward the future.
Zefram Cochrane: I gotta take a leak.
Geordi: Leak? I'm not detecting any leak.
Zefram Cochrane: Don't you people from the 24th century ever pee?
Geordi: Leak! I get it.

Lily: Watch your caboose, Dix.
Picard: I intend to.

Data: Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind.
Borg Queen: Small words from a small being trying to attack what he doesn't understand.

Borg Queen: Go ahead, Data. We won't stop you. Do it. Don't be tempted by flesh.

Borg Queen: Are you familiar with physical forms of pleasure?
Data: If you are referring to sexuality, I am fully functional, programmed in multiple techniques.
Borg Queen: How long has it been since you've used them?
Data: Eight years, seven months, 16 days, four minutes, 22...
Borg Queen: Far too long.

Zefram Cochrane: Please! Don't tell me it's all thanks to me. I've heard enough about the great Zefram Cochrane. I don't know who writes your history books or where you get your information from, but you people got some pretty funny ideas about me. You all look at me as if I'm some kind of saint or visionary or something.
Riker: I don't think you're a saint, Doc, but you did have a vision. And now we're sitting in it.
Zefram Cochrane: You wanna know what my vision is? Dollar signs. Money. I didn't build this ship to usher in a new era for humanity. You think I want to go to the stars? I don't even like to fly! I take trains! I built this ship so that I could retire to some tropical island filled with naked women. That's Zefram Cochrane! That's his vision!

Riker: Someone once said, "Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgments."
Zefram Cochrane: That's rhetorical nonsense. Who said that?
Riker: You did, 10 years from now.

Data: Resistance is futile.

Data: She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible, and for a time, I was tempted by her offer.
Picard: How long a time?
Data: Zero-point-six-eight seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.

Picard: Mr. Data, lay in a course for the 24th century. I suspect our future is there waiting for us.
Data: Course laid in, sir.
Picard: Make it so.

Journalist: This is the first Starship Enterprise in 30 years without James T. Kirk in command. How do you feel about that, sir?

Kirk: Scotty, it absolutely amazes me.
Scotty: And what would that be, sir?
Kirk: Sulu, when did he find time for a family?
Scotty: Well, like you always say, if something's important, you make the time.

Scotty: Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?
Kirk: You know, I'm glad you're an engineer. With tact like that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.

Data: Doctor, I must confess, I am uncertain as to why someone falling into freezing water is amusing.
Dr. Crusher: It's all in good fun, Data.
Data: Fun?
Dr. Crusher: Fun.
Data: I do not understand.
You've got to get into the spirit of things. Learn to be spontaneous, live in the moment.
Dr. Crusher: Do something unexpected. Get it?
Data: Got it.

Picard: Just imagine what it was like. No engines, no computers, just the wind and the sea and the stars to guide you... Bad food, brutal discipline. No women. ... The best thing about life at sea, Will, was that no one could reach you. This was freedom, Will.

Dr. Soran: They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives. I know you understand...

Data: It appears to be magnetically sealed. I believe I can reverse the polarity by attenuating my axial servo... Open sesame! You could say I have a magnetic personality. Humor, I love it!

Guinan: If you go, you're not gonna care about anything. Not this ship, not Soran, not me. Nothing. All you'll want is to stay in the Nexus, and you're not gonna want to come back.

Dr. Soran: Have you ever considered a prosthesis that would make you look a little more... How can I say? More normal?
La Forge: What's normal?
Dr. Soran: What's normal? Well, that's a good question. Normal is what everyone else is and you are not.

Picard: Sometimes it takes courage to try, Data, and courage can be an emotion, too.

Dr. Soran: You know, there was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came, and they showed me that if there is one constant in this whole universe, it's death. Afterwards, I began to realize it didn't really matter. We're all gonna die sometime. It's just a question of how and when.

Dr. Soran: It's like a predator. It's stalking you. You can try and outrun it with doctors, medicines, new technologies, but in the end, time is going to hunt you down and make the kill. It's our mortality that defines us, Soran. It's part of the truth of our existence.

Dr. Soran: Now you'll have to excuse me, Captain. I have an appointment with eternity, and I don't want to be late.

Picard: Kirk. James T. Kirk...

Kirk: You say history considers me dead. Who am I to argue with history?

Picard: You're a Starfleet officer! You have a duty.
Kirk: I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers. Besides which, I think the galaxy owes me one.

Kirk: Oh, yeah. I was like you once, so worried about duty and obligation I couldn't see past my own uniform. And what did it get me? An empty house. Not this time.

Kirk: Captain of the Enterprise?
Picard: That's right.
Kirk: Close to retirement?
Picard: I'm not planning on it.
Kirk: Let me tell you something. Don't. Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the Bridge of that ship, because while you're there you can make a difference.

Data: At first, I was unprepared for the unpredictable nature of emotions. However, having experienced 261 distinct emotional states, I believe I have learned to control my feelings. They will no longer control me.

Picard: Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) <<

Spock: There is an old Vulcan proverb... Only Nixon could go to China.

Kirk: They're animals!
Spock: Jim, there is an historic opportunity here.
Kirk: Don't believe them. Don't trust them.
Spock: They are dying.
Kirk: Let them die.

Kirk: Spock says this could be an historic occasion, and I'd like to believe him, but how on earth can history get past people like me?

Valeris: I do not understand this representation.
Spock: It is a depiction from ancient Earth mythology, the expulsion from Paradise.
Valeris: Why keep it in your quarters?
Spock: It is a reminder to me that all things end.

Spock: History is replete with turning points, Lieutenant. You must have faith.
Valeris: Faith?
Spock: That the universe will unfold as it should.
Valeris: But is that logical? Surely we must...
Spock: Logic, logic and logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.

Gorkon: I offer a toast. The undiscovered country... the future.

Chekov: We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.
Azetbur: Inalien? If you could only hear yourselves. Human rights. Why, the very name is racist.
General Chang: The Federation is no more than a Homo Sapiens Only club. Present company excepted, of course.

Gorkon: You don't trust me, do you? I don't blame you. If there is to be a brave new world, our generation is going to have the hardest time living in it.

Valeris: Four hundred years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes called sabot into the machines to stop them. Hence the word sabotage...

Spock: An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Warden: This is the gulag Rura Penthe. There is no stockade, no guard tower, no electronic frontier. Only a magnetic shield prevents beaming. Punishment means exile from prison to the surface. On the surface, nothing can survive. Work well and you will be treated well. Work badly and you will die.

Spock: Valeris, please inform Starfleet Command our warp drive is inoperative.
Valeris: A lie?
Spock: An error.

Kirk: You said it yourself. It was logical. Peace is worth a few personal risks. You're a great one for logic. I'm a great one for rushing in where angels fear to tread. We're both extremists. Reality is probably somewhere in between.

Spock: Is it possible that we two, you and I, have grown so old and so inflexible that we have outlived our usefulness?... Would that constitute a joke?

Kirk: Once again, we've saved civilization as we know it. And the good news is, they're not going to prosecute.

Kirk: Well, they don't arrest people for having feelings.
Chekov: And it's a good thing, too. If they did, we'd all have to turn ourselves in.

Spock: If I were human, I believe my response would be... Go to hell. If I were human.

Chekov: Course heading, Captain?
Kirk: Second star to the right, and straight on till morning.

Korrd: What is it you seek?
Sybok: What you seek. What all men have sought since time began. The ultimate knowledge. To find it, we'll need a starship...

Spock: Bipodal seeds, Doctor?
McCoy: Beans, Spock. But no ordinary beans. These are from an old Southern recipe handed down to me by my father. And if you stick your Vulcan nose up at these, you're not only insulting me, but generations of McCoys.
Spock: In that case, I have little choice but to sample your beans.

McCoy: You really piss me off, Jim. Human life is far too precious to risk on crazy stunts.

Kirk: I knew I wouldn't die because the two of you were with me.
Spock: I do not understand.
Kirk: I've always known... I'll die alone.
McCoy: Well, I'll call Valhalla and have them reserve a room for you.

Spock: Captain?
Kirk: Spock, we're on leave. You can call me Jim.
Spock: Jim?
Kirk: Yes, Spock?
Spock: Life is not a dream.
Kirk: Go to sleep, Spock.
Spock: Yes, Captain.
Kirk: Good night, Bones.
McCoy: Good night, Jim. Good night, Spock.
Spock: Good night, Doctor.
Kirk: Good night, Spock.
Spock: Good night, Jim.

Kirk: All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by...
McCoy: Melville.
Spock: John Masefield.
McCoy: Are you sure about that?
Spock: I am well versed in the classics, Doctor.
McCoy: Then how come you don't know Row, Row, Row Your Boat?

Sybok: Spock! It's me. It's Sybok. After all these years, you've finally caught up with me... Don't you have anything to say to me?
Spock: ... You are under arrest for seventeen violations of the Neutral Zone Treaty.
Sybok: Spock, you've developed a sense of humour after all.

Kirk: Stand by to execute... Emergency Landing Plan B.
Uhura: What's Emergency Landing Plan B?
Chekov: I don't have a clue.

Kirk: Look at it this way, we'll get a good workout.
McCoy: Yeah, or a heart attack.

Kirk: Hit the brakes!..
Spock: I'm afraid I overshot the mark by one level.
McCoy: Nobody's perfect.

Sybok: What you fear... is the unknown. The people of your planet, once believed their world was flat. Columbus proved it was round. They said the sound barrier could never be broken. It was broken. They said warp speed, could not be achieved. The Great Barrier is the ultimate expression of this universal fear. It's an extension of personal fear.

McCoy: Jim, try to be open about this.
Kirk: About what? That I've made the wrong choices in my life? That I turned left when I should have turned right? I know what my weaknesses are. I don't need Sybok to take me on a tour of them.
McCoy: If you'd just unbend and allow yourself...
Kirk: And be brainwashed by this con man?
McCoy: I was wrong. This con man took away my pain.
Kirk: Damn it, Bones, you're a doctor. You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with the wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away. I need my pain!

Kirk: Excuse me. I'd just like to ask a question. What does God need with a starship?

Spock: Please, Captain, not in front of the Klingons.

Kirk: Cosmic thoughts, gentlemen?
McCoy: We were speculating... Is God really out there?
Kirk: Maybe he's not out there, Bones. Maybe he's right here. Human heart.

Klingons Ambassador: Remember this well. There shall be no peace, as long as Kirk lives.

Kirk: Mr Scott.
Scotty: Aye, sir?
Kirk: How soon can we be underway?
Scotty: Give me one more day, Sir. Damage control is easy. Reading Klingon, that's hard.

Amanda: Spock, does the good of the many outweigh the good of the one?
Spock: I would accept that as an axiom.
Amanda: Then you stand here alive because of a mistake, made by your flawed, feeling, human friends. They have sacrificed their futures because they believed that the good of the one, you, was more important to them.
Spock: Humans make illogical decisions.
Amanda: They do, indeed.

McCoy: Perhaps we could cover a little philosophical ground, life, death, life, things of that nature.
Spock: I did not have time on Vulcan to review the philosophical disciplines.
McCoy: Come on, Spock. it's me, McCoy. You really have gone where no man's gone before. Can't you tell me what it felt like?
Spock: It would be impossible to discuss this subject without a common frame of reference.
McCoy: You're joking.
Spock: A joke? Is a story with a humorous climax.
McCoy: You mean I have to die to discuss your insights on death?
Spock: Forgive me Doctor. I'm receiving a number of distress calls.
McCoy: I don't doubt it.

President: Ambassador Sarek, I'm afraid you're trapped here with us. There seems to be no way we can answer this probe.
Sarek: It is difficult to answer when one does not understand the question.

McCoy: You think this is its way of saying 'Hi, there' to the people of the Earth?
Spock: There are other forms of intelligence on Earth, Doctor. Only human arrogance would assume the message must be meant for man.

Spock: I've had to programme some of the variables from memory.
Kirk: What are some of the variables?
Spock: Availability of fuel components, mass of the vessel through a time continuum, and probable location of humpback whales, in this case, the Pacific Basin.
Kirk: You've programmed all that from memory?
Spock: I have.
McCoy: Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
Spock: Hamlet, Act I, Scene IV.

Kirk: Shields, Mr Chekov... May fortune favour the foolish. Warp speed, Mr Sulu.

Chekov: Excuse me, sir, can you direct me to the naval base in Alameda..? It's where they keep the nuclear vessels... Nuclear vessels.

Kirk: What's your question?
Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall I say, more colourful metaphors, double dumb-ass on you, and so forth.
Kirk: You mean the profanity?
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: That's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word. You'll find it in all the literature of the period.
Spock: For example?
Kirk: Well, the collected works of Jacqueline Susann, the novels of Harold Robbins. The giants.

Spock: To hunt a species to extinction is not logical.
Gillian: Who ever said the human race was logical?

Kirk: Spock.
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: About those colourful metaphors that we've discussed. I don't think you should try using them any more.
Spock: Why not?
Kirk: Well... for one thing, you haven't quite got the knack of it.
Spock: I see.
Kirk: And another thing. It's not always necessary to tell the truth.
Spock: I cannot tell a lie.
Kirk: I don't mean lie, but you could exaggerate.
Spock: Exaggerate?
Kirk: Exaggerate. You've done it before. Can't you remember?
Spock: The hell I can't.

Chekov: Admiral, we have found the nuclear vessel.
Kirk: Well done, Team Two.
Chekov: And, Admiral, it is the Enterprise.

Spock: Are you sure it isn't time for a colourful metaphor?

Kirk: I have a hunch, that we'd all be a lot happier discussing this over dinner. What do you say?
Gillian: .... You guys like Italian?

McCoy: You realise, of course, that if we give him the formula, we're altering the future.
Scotty: Why? How do we know he didn't invent the thing?

Gillian: Who are you?
Kirk: Who do you think I am?
Gillian: Don't tell me. You're from outer space.
Kirk: No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space.

McCoy: Damn it, do you want an acute case on your hands? This woman has immediate postprandial upper abdominal distention. Out of the way! Get out of the way!...
Kirk: What did you say she's got?
McCoy: Cramps.

McCoy: You... You present the appearance of a man with a problem.
Spock: Your perception is correct, Doctor. In order to return us to the exact moment we left the 23rd century, I have used our journey back through time as a referent, calculating the coefficient of elapsed time in relation to the acceleration curve.
McCoy: Naturally. So what's your problem?
Spock: Acceleration is no longer a constant.
McCoy: Well, then you're just gonna have to take your best shot.
Spock: Best shot?
McCoy: Guess, Spock. Your best guess.
Spock: Guessing is not in my nature, Doctor.
McCoy: Well, nobody's perfect.

Scotty: Admiral, there be whales here!

Kirk: They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all...
Gillian: Whales weep not. D.H. Lawrence.

Gillian: Why does it have to be goodbye?
Kirk: Well... Like they say in your century, I don't even have your telephone number. How will I find you?

Kirk: The needs of the few.
Spock: Or the one. And I have been, and always shall be, your friend. Live long... and prosper.

Kirk: 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.

Kirk: How much refit time till we can take her out again?
Scotty: Eight weeks, sir, but you don't have eight weeks, so I'll do it for you in two.
Kirk: Mr Scott, have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?
Scotty: Certainly, sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle-worker?

Ambassador Sarek: Kirk, I must have your thoughts. May I join your mind?

Admiral Morrow: This business about Spock and McCoy, honestly, I never understood Vulcan mysticism.
Kirk: You don't have to believe. I'm not even sure that I believe, but if there's even a chance that Spock has an eternal soul, then it's my responsibility.
Admiral Morrow: Yours?
Kirk: As surely as if it were my very own.

McCoy: How much and how soon?
Alien: How soon is now. How much is where.
McCoy: Somewhere... in the Mutara Sector.
Alien: Mutara restricted. Take permits many. Money more.
McCoy: There aren't going to be any damn permits. How can you get a permit to do a damn illegal thing? Look, price you name, money I got.
Alien: Place you name. Money I name. Otherwise, bargain no.

Kirk: How many fingers do I have up?

Kirk: Mr Scott?
Scotty: I'd be grateful, Admiral, if you'd give the word.
Kirk: Gentlemen, may the wind be at our backs. Stations, please.

Kirk: Scotty, as good as your word.
Scotty: Aye, Sir. The more they over think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.

Kirk: My God Bones, what have I done?
McCoy: What you had to do. What you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live.

Kirk: Klingon Commander, this is Admiral James T. Kirk. I'm alive and well on the planet surface. I know this will come as a pleasant surprise to you, but our ship was a victim of an unfortunate accident. Sorry about your crew, but as we say on Earth, c'est la vie.

Maltz: I do not deserve to live.
Kirk: Fine. I'll kill you later.

Vulcan High Priestess: Sarek, child of Skon, child of Solkar, the body of your son breathes still. What is your wish?
Sarek: I ask for fal tor pan, the re-fusion.
Vulcan High Priestess: What you seek has not been done since ages past, and then only in legend. Your request is not logical.
Sarek: Forgive me, T'Lar. My logic is uncertain, where my son is concerned.

Spock: My father says that you have been my friend. You came back for me.

Vulcan master: This consciousness calling to you from space... It touches your human blood, Spock. You have not achieved Kolinahr. His answer lies elsewhere. He will not achieve his goal with us.

Vulcan master: Live long and prosper, Spock.

Capt. James T. Kirk: Mr. Scott, an alien object of unbelievable destructive power is less than three days away from this planet. The only starship in interception range is the Enterprise. Ready or not, she launches in 12 hours.

Capt. James T. Kirk: Bones, there's a thing out there.
Dr. McCoy: Why is any object we don't understand always called a "thing"?

Capt. James T. Kirk: Thrusters ahead, Mr. Sulu. Take us out.

Dr. McCoy: Spock, you haven't changed a bit. You're just as warm and sociable as ever.
Spock: Nor have you, Doctor, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.

Spock: On Vulcan I began sensing a consciousness from a source more powerful than I have ever encountered. Thought patterns of exactingly, perfect order. I believe they emanate from the intruder. I believe it may hold my answers.
Dr. McCoy: Well, isn't it lucky for you that we just happened to be heading your way?

Decker: Why are you opposed to trying?
Spock: Why bring us inside? Not to destroy us. They could have done that outside.
Decker: They still can.
Spock: Curiosity, Mr Decker. Insatiable curiosity.

Capt. James T. Kirk: Why does V'Ger travel to the third planet of the solar system directly ahead?
Ilia: To find the Creator.
Capt. James T. Kirk: Find the Creator? Whose... What does V'Ger want with the Creator?
Ilia: To join with him.
Spock: To join with the Creator? How?
Ilia: V'Ger and the Creator will become one.
Spock: And who is the Creator?
Ilia: The Creator is that which created V'Ger.
Capt. James T. Kirk: Who is V'Ger?
Ilia: V'Ger is that which seeks the Creator.

Ilia: Why does Enterprise require the presence of carbon units?
Decker: Enterprise would be unable to function without carbon units.
Ilia: More data concerning this functioning is necessary, before carbon units can be patterned for data storage.
Decker: What does that mean?
Ilia: When my examination is complete all carbon units will be reduced to data patterns.

Decker: Jim, V'Ger expects an answer.
Capt. James T. Kirk: An answer? I don't know the question.

Capt. James T. Kirk: A child?
Spock: Yes, Captain. A child. Evolving, learning, searching, instinctively needing.

Dr. McCoy: Now what do you suggest we do? Spank it?
Spock: It knows only that it needs, Commander, but like so many of us, it does not know what.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) <<

& Kirk: Physician, heal thyself!
    McCoy: Is that all you’ve got to say? What about my performance?
    Kirk: I’m not a drama critic!

& Kirk: Ms. Saavik, you gonna stay with a sinking ship?

& Saavik: Permission to speak freely, sir?
    Kirk: Granted.
    Saavik: I do not 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: And 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 not occurred to me.
    Kirk: Well, now you have something new to think about. Carry on.

& 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.
    Uhura: Now what is that supposed to mean?

& 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.
    Kirk: Surely the best of times.

& Kirk: Warp five, Sulu.
    Sulu: So much for a «little training cruise».

& Joachim: ...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!

& McCoy: Dear Lord. You think we’re intelligent enough to...

& 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?

& Khan: Ah, Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us... revenge is a dish that is best served cold?

& Khan: 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.

& Kirk: I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m starved.
    David Marcus: How can you think of food at a time like this?!
    Kirk: First order of business— survival.

& Saavik: Admiral?
    Kirk: As your teacher Mr. Spock is fond of saying... I like to think that there always are possibilities.

& Kirk: I think we can guarantee that she’ll follow us, Lieutenant. Remind me to explain to you the concept of the human ego.

& Spock: He’s intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking.

& Spock: I’m sorry, Doctor. I have no time to discuss this logically.

& Spock: Don’t grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh—
    Kirk: The needs of the few.
    Spock: Or the one.
