Kirk: Mister Scott, you old space dog. You’re well?
Scotty: I had me a wee bout, sir, but Doctor McCoy pulled me through.
Kirk: Oh? A wee bout of what?
McCoy: Shore leave, Admiral.
Kirk: Ah. … Well, shall we start with the Engine Room?
Scotty: We’ll see you there, sir, and everything is in order.
Kirk: That’ll be a pleasant surprise, Mister Scott.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Kirk: Aren’t you dead? I assume you are loitering here to learn what efficiency rating I plan to give your cadets.
Spock: I am understandably curious.
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 been tried. (holding up his birthday present) 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 of that I’m conscious of… except, of course, happy birthday, surely the best of times.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
(Saavik has just “completed” the Kobayashi Maru.)
Kirk: Physician, heal thyself.
McCoy: Is that’s all you gotta say? What about my performance?
Kirk: I’m not a drama critic… Well, Mister Saavik, are you going to stay with the sinking ship?
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 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 just put an experienced crew back on the ship?
Kirk: Galloping about the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor.
Uhura: Now what is that supposed to mean?
