A Piece of the Action - S2-E17

Spock:Young man, this is likely to be quite hazardous. If I were you...
Kirk: Hold on, Spock. Out of the mouths of babes...
Kid: Who ya callin' a babe?
Kirk: I'm callin' you a babe.

Quantom X ★

Dr. McCoy: Go... Where are we going?
Captain Kirk: Where they went.
Dr. McCoy: Suppose they went nowhere.
Captain Kirk: Then this will be your big chance to get away from it all.

[Spock has just been severely irradiated while saving the ship, and is dying.]
Spock: Do not grieve, Admiral - it is logical: the needs of the many outweigh
Kirk: The needs of the few...
Spock: Or the one.

David Marcus: Can I talk to you for a minute?
Captain James Tiberius Kirk: I poured myself a drink. Would you like it?
David Marcus: Lt. Saavik was right. You never have faced death.
Captain James Tiberius Kirk: No, not like this. I haven't faced death. I've cheated death, I tricked my way out of death and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing.
David Marcus: You knew enough to tell Saavik that how we face death is at least as important as how we face life.
Captain James Tiberius Kirk: Just words.
David Marcus: But good words. That's where ideas begin. Maybe you should listen to them. I was wrong about you, and I'm sorry.
Captain James Tiberius Kirk: Is that what you came here to say?
David Marcus: Mainly. And also that I'm proud, very proud too be your son.

James Kirk: Khan...Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me. You are going to kill me, Khan. You're going to have to come down here. You're going to have to come down here!
Khan: 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 Kirk: KHAN! KHAN!

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.

Kirk: You're suffering from a Vulcan mind-meld.
McCoy: That green blooded son-of-a-bitch! It's his revenge for all those arguments he lost!

[The crew watches the Enterprise burn up in the Genesis planet's atmosphere.]
Kirk: Dear God Bones, what have I done?
McCoy: What you had to do, what you've always done, turned death into a fighting chance to live.

Sarek: At what cost? Your ship...your son.
Kirk: If I hadn't the cost would have been my soul.

Captain James Tiberius Kirk: You Klingon bastards, you killed my son. You Klingon bastards, you killed my son! Klingon bastard!

Kirk: Mr. Spock, have you accounted for the variable mass of whales and water in your time re-entry program?
Spock: Mr. Scott cannot give me exact figures, Admiral, so... I will make a guess.
Kirk: A guess? You, Spock? That's extraordinary.
Spock: [to Dr. McCoy] I don't think he understands.
McCoy: No, Spock. He means that he feels safer about your guesses than most other people's facts.
Spock: Then you're saying... It is a compliment?
McCoy: It is.
Spock: Ah. Then, I will try to make the best guess I can.
McCoy: Please do.

Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall we say, more colorful metaphors, "double dumb-ass on you" and so forth.
Kirk: Oh, you mean the profanity?
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: Well that's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word.

Kirk: If we play our cards right, we may be able to find out when those whales are being released.
Spock: How will playing cards help?

Dr. Gillian Taylor: Don't tell me. You're from outer space.
Kirk: No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space.

Kirk: Spock, where the hell is the power you promised me?
Spock: One damn minute, Admiral!

[Kirk is pawning his reading glasses.]
Spock: Excuse me, Admiral, but weren't those a birthday gift from Doctor McCoy?
Kirk: And they will be again. That's the beauty of it.
