recording his last words
McCoy : 
"To blazes with regulations! You can't let him take command when you know he's wrong."

Kirk : 
"Gentlemen, I suggest you beam me aboard."
to Spock; perfectly calm as death approaches
Kirk : 
"He gave his life in an attempt to save others. Not the worst way to go."
Spock : 
"Indeed, Captain. I presume your log will show Commodore Decker died in the line of duty."
Kirk : 
"Indeed it shall, Mr. Spock."
Kirk : 
"Ironic, isn't it? Way back in the 20th century, the H-Bomb was the ultimate weapon, their doomsday machine. We used something like it to destroy another doomsday machine. Probably the first time such a weapon has ever been used for constructive purposes."
