"I thought my people would grow tired of killing. But you were right. They see that it is easier than trading... and it has pleasures." Apella to the Klingon.

Kirk : "Bones, do you remember the 20th century brush wars on the Asian continent? Two giant powers involved, much like the Klingons and ourselves. Neither side could pull out."
McCoy : "Yes. It went on bloody year after bloody year!"
Kirk : "What would you have suggested, that one side arm its friends with an overpowering weapon? Mankind would never have lived to travel space if they had! No. The only solution is what happened back then. Balance of power."
McCoy : "And if the Klingons give their side even more?"
Kirk : "Then we arm our side with exactly that much more. A balance of power - the trickiest, most difficult, dirtiest game of them all. But the only one that preserves both sides."

McCoy : "Well then, thank pictchforks and pointed ears."

Oxmyx : "Nobody helps nobody but himself."
Spock : "Sir, you are employing a double negative."

"Captain, that ancient custom called 'spanking'. What is it?" - Elan to Kirk.

Kirk : "Why is it forbidden?"
Fabrini Man : "I am not sure. But things are not as they teach us. For the world is hollow and I have touched the sky!"

"You think that's what I want? Become one of them? Become my own enemy? Just lie around like a big blob of nothing and have things done for me? No, sir... if I want to do something, I'll do it for myself! If I want to laugh or cry, I'll do it for myself! You can keep your precious power! All I ask is one thing... if you do make it out of here, take me with you!" - Alexander to McCoy

"I could have had your power, but I didn't want it. I could have had your position, your place, right now! But the sight of you and your academicia sickens me. Despite your brains, you're the most comtemptable beings who ever lived in this universe!" - Alexander to Parmen.

You make yourself comfortable with that." - Picard to Jarok

Lwaxana : "What does that little one do, Mister Woof?"
Worf : "Please, Madam! That is a torpedo launch initiator! And it, uh... it is Worf, Madam. Not Woof."

"I know you, Mother, and believe me... you will never be one of those who dies before they die." - Troi to Lwaxana.

"No parent should expect to be paid back for the love they've given their children." - Timicin to Lwaxana.

Navaar : "I can see you're not very experienced at making threats."
Archer : "I'm a lot better at carrying them out."

Khan : "I've done far worse than kill you, Admiral. 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..."
Kirk : "KHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!"

"There's a man ot there I haven't seen in fifteen years who's trying to kill me. You've shown me a son who would be happy to help him. What am I feeling? Old. Worn out." - Kirk to Carol

McCoy : "Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario."
Saavik : "How?"
Kirk : "I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship."
Saavik : "What?"
David Marcus : "He cheated!"

Saavik : "You lied?"
Spock : "I exaggerated."

"We tried it once your way Khan, are you game for a rematch? Khan... I'm laughing at the superior intellect." - Kirk goading Khan

"We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet, it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, 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." - Kirk on Spock.

David : "You knew enough to tell Saavik that how we face death is at least as important as how we face life."
Kirk : "Just words."
David : "But good words. That's where ideas begin. Maybe you should listen to them. I was wrong about you. And I'm sorry."
Kirk : "Is that what you came here to say?"
David : "Mainly. And also that I'm proud... very proud... to be your son."

Carol : "Is that a poem?"
Kirk : "No, something Spock was trying to tell me, on my birthday."
McCoy : "Are you okay Jim? How do you feel?"
Kirk : "Young. I feel young."

Kirk : "Is that the logical thing to do?"
Spock : "No. But it is the Human thing to do." - Spock justifying his advice that they must rescue Chekov.

"Tell her... I feel fine." - Spock to Sarek, giving him a message to pass on to his mother.

"Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end." - Spock to Valeris.

"Captain's log, stardate 9522.6. I've never trusted Klingons, and I never will. I've never been able to forgive them for the death of my boy. It seems to me our mission to escort the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council to a peace summit is problematic at best. Spock says this could be an historic occasion, and I'd like to believe him. But how on earth can history get past people like me?" - Kirk's log entry.

Spock : "You have to shoot. If you are logical, you have to shoot."
Valeris : "I do not want to..."
Spock : "What you want is irrelevant, what you have chosen is at hand!"

"Is it possible that we two, you and I, have grown so old and so inflexible that we have outlived our usefullness?" Spock to Kirk

Sulu : "Come on, come on!"
Helmsman : "She'll fly apart!"
Sulu : "Well fly her apart, then!"

"Captain's Log, stardate 9529.1. This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of a new generation. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no one has gone before." - Kirk's final log entry.

"You think I want to go to the stars? I don't even like to fly! I take trains!" - Cochrane to Riker

"Don't try to be a great man, just be a man and let history make it's own judgements." - Riker quoting Cochrane

Picard : "You want to destroy the ship and run away, you coward!"
Worf : "If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand!"

"Actually, I think you are the bravest man I've ever known." - Picard apologising to Worf.

Queen : "Do you always talk this much?"
Data : "Not always. But often."

"So you're all astronauts on some sort of... star trek?" - Cochrane to Riker

"And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it." - Picard quotes Moby Dick

Data : "The B-4 is physically identical to me, although his neural pathways are not as advanced. But even if they were, he would not be me."
Picard : "How can you be sure?"
Data : "I aspire, sir. To be better than I am. The B-4 does not. Nor does Shinzon."

"Will Riker, you have been my trusted right arm for fifteen years. You have helped keep my course true and steady. Deanna Troi, you have been my conscience and guide. You have helped me to recognize the best parts of myself. You are my family. And in maritime tradition, I wish you clear horizons... my friends, make it so." - Picard's wedding speech.

Janeway : "The Son'a... the Borg... the Romulans... you always get the easy assignments."
Picard : "Just lucky, I guess."

"Goodbye." - Data, to everybody.

Kirk : "If Spock were here and I were there... what would he do?"
McCoy : "He'd let you die."

"A five year mission Spock! That's deep space, that's uncharted territory, think how incredible that's going to be!" - Kirk to Spock.

Kirk : "Well sir volatile is all relative, maybe our data was off."
Pike : "Or maybe it didn't erupt because Mr. Spock detonated a cold fusion device inside it right after a civilisation that's barely invented the wheel happened to see a starship rising out of their ocean!"

Spock : "Had the mission gone to plan, Admiral, the indigenous species would not have been aware of our interference."
Pike : "That's a technicality!"
Spock : "I am Vulcan sir, we embrace technicality."

"That's your problem, you think you're infallible. You think you can't make a mistake. It's a pattern with you. The rules are for other people. And what's worse is, you're using blind luck to justify your playing god!" - Pike to Kirk

Pike : "You're going to be my first officer. Admiral Marcus took some convincing. But every now and then I can make a good case."
Kirk : "What did you tell him?"
Pike : "The truth. That I believe in you. That if anybody deserves a second chance it's Jim Kirk.
Kirk : "I don't know what to say..."
Pike : "That is a first. It's going to be okay, son."

"You park at the edge of the neutral zone, you lock on to Harrison's position, you fire, you kill him, and you haul ass." - Admiral Marcus to Kirk.

"That's what scares me! This is clearly a military operation... is that what we are now? Because I thought we were explorers!" - Scotty to Kirk.

"Attention John Harrison. This is Captain Hikaru Sulu of the USS Enterprise. A shuttle of highly trained officers is on its way to your location. If you do not surrender to them immediately, I will unleash the entire payload of advanced long-range torpedoes currently locked on to your location. You have two minutes to confirm your compliance. Refusal to do so will result in your obliteration. And If you test me, you will fail." - Sulu to "Harrison".

"You misunderstand. It is true I chose not to feel anything on realising that my own life was ending. As Admiral Pike was dying I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. Anger... confusion... loneliness... fear. I have experienced those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. Such a feeling is something I choose never to experience again. Nyota, you mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring. Well I assure you, the truth is precisely the opposite." - Spock to Uhura

"Let me explain what's happening here. You are a criminal. I watched you murder innocent men and women. I was authorised to end you, and the only reason why you are still alive is because I am allowing it. So shut your mouth!" - Kirk to Khan

"Oh, well now! If it isn't Captain James Tiberius Perfect-hair!" - Scotty to Kirk.

"My crew is my family, Kirk. Is there anything you would not do for your family?" Khan to Kirk.

"You're right! What I'm about to do, it doesn't make any sense. It's not logical, it is a gut feeling. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do... I only know what I can do. The Enterprise and her crew need someone in that chair who knows what he's doing. And it's not me. It's you, Spock." - Kirk to Spock.

Spock : "As you know, I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. Your path is yours to walk, yours alone. That being said... Khan Noonien Singh is the most dangerous adversary the Enterprise ever faced. He is brilliant, ruthless, and he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you."
"Spock : "Did you defeat him?"
Spock : "At great cost... yes."

"Dammit man I'm a doctor, not a torpedo technician!" - McCoy to Spock

Scotty : "I thought he was helping us!"
Kirk : "I'm pretty sure we're helping him."

"Well Kirk. Seems apt to return you to your crew. After all, no ship should go down without her Captain." - Khan to Kirk.

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" - Spock screaming in grief

"Oh, don't be so melodramatic. You were barely dead." - McCoy to Kirk.

McCoy : "Once we caught him, I synthesised a serum from his... super blood. Tell me, are you feeling homicidal, power mad, despotic?"
Kirk : "No more than usual."

"There will always be those who mean to do us harm. To stop them, we risk awakening the same evil within ourselves. Our first instinct is to seek revenge when those we love are taken from us. But that’s not who we are. We are here today to re-christen the USS Enterprise and to honour those who lost their lives nearly one year ago. When Christopher Pike first gave me his ship, he had me recite the Captain’s Oath. Words I didn’t appreciate at the time. Now I see them as a call for us to remember who we once were and who we must be again. And those words? Space... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, her five year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations. To boldly go where no one has gone before."
