[edit] Khan Noonien Singh

  • I never forget a face. Mister... Chekov. Isn't it? I never thought to see your face again.
  • Famous inconsistency in the Star Trek franchise; as per the Original Series, Chekov had never met 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.
  • 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! Prepare to alter course!
  • Allusion to Moby Dick, (1851) by Herman Melville
  • "He tasks me; he heaps me [...] Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up."
  • To the last I grapple with thee! Note: This quote was spoken as Khan activates the Genesis Device, and then later, he states:
  • 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.
  • Allusion to Moby Dick, (1851) by Herman Melville
  • "Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."

[edit] James T. Kirk

  • How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?
  • Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor.
  • We are gathered here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. But it should be noted that 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.
  • Eulogy delivered at Spock's funeral

[edit] Spock

  • I have been... and always shall be... your friend. Live long... and prosper.
  • Dying words to James T. 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.
  • Closing monologue voiceover

[edit] Dialogue

Revenge is a dish best served cold.
—Old Klingon Proverb
Leonard McCoy: Go? Where are we going?
James T. Kirk: Where they went.
Leonard McCoy: Suppose they went nowhere?
James T. Kirk: Then this will be your big chance to get away from it all.
James T. 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 Noonien 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. Buried alive.
James T. Kirk: KHHHHAAAAAAAAN!
