Captain Spock: My father says that you have been my friend. You came back for me.
Kirk: You would have done the same for me.
Captain Spock: Why would you do this?
Kirk: Because the needs of the one... Outweigh the needs of the many.
Captain Spock: [begins to remember] I have been and ever shall be your friend.
Kirk: Yes. Yes, Spock.
Captain Spock: The ship... Out of danger?
Kirk: You saved the ship. You saved us all. Don't you remember?
Captain Spock: Jim... Your name is Jim.
Kirk: Yes.
Captain James Tiberius Kirk: You Klingon bastards, you killed my son. You Klingon bastards, you killed my son! Klingon bastard!
Sarek: At what cost? Your ship...your son.
Kirk: If I hadn't the cost would have been my soul.
McCoy: Yes! Genesis! How can you be deaf with ears like that?!
Chosen answer: Kruge only had the proposal video that talked about what Genesis was. He didn't have any actual data on how Genesis works or how it could be created. Having footage of a nuclear blast doesn't give you knowledge about how to build a nuclear device.
