Quote of the Day

Sulu: Enterprise, this is Admiral Kirk’s party on final approach.

EnterpriseEnterprise welcomes you. Prepare for docking.

Kirk: I hate inspections.

Sulu: I’m delighted, any chance to go aboard the Enterprise.

Kirk: Well, I for one am glad to have you at the helm for three weeks. I don’t think these kids can steer.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Quote of the Day

(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?

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Quote of the Day

Uhura: Captain! Starfleet just signalled your transfer-of-command orders, sir.

Sulu: Captain!

Kirk: I appreciate your welcome. I wish the circumstances were less critical. Epsilon Nine is monitoring the intruder. Keep a channel open.

Uhura: Aye sir.

Kirk: Where’s Captain Decker?

Sulu: He’s in engineering, sir… He… doesn’t know.

Kirk: Mister Chekov!

Chekov: Aye sir.

Kirk: Assemble the crew on the Recreation Deck at 0400 hours. I want to show them what we’re facing. (leaves)

Sulu: He wanted her back. He got her!

Ensign: And Captain Decker? He’s been with the ship every minute of her refitting.

Uhura: Ensign, the possibilities of our returning from this mission in one piece may have just doubled.

Quote of the Day


Spock: Its trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the Human nervous system. Fortunately, of course… I am immune… to its… effect.

Star Trek — Season 2: Episode 13 — “The Trouble with Tribbles”

Quote of the Day

Scotty: He’s turned the engines off. Completely cold. It will take thirty minutes to regenerate them.

Uhura: Ship’s outer skin is beginning to heat, Captain. Orbit plot shows we have about eight minutes left.

Kirk: Scotty!

Scotty: I can’t change the laws of physics. I’ve got to have thirty minutes.
