Sam Kirk : 
"Am I off the record here, sir? Jim was always at the top of his class. Smart and highly skilled, obviously. But he's not above relying on charm, or even luck."
Pike : 
"Sounds like a wild card."
Sam Kirk : 
"A whole deck of 'em. He doesn't like taking the path everyone else does, and he doesn't like to lose."
Pike : 
"Should we be worried that he's gonna start a war?"
Sam Kirk : 
"Look, I'm not gonna say Jim isn't a pain in the ass. He is. He is huge pain in the ass. But the truth is, he's as fine a captain as Starfleet has."
Pike : 
"Okay, good to know."
Sam Kirk : 
"Like I said, he does like to bend the rules sometimes. No, more like all the time."

to the Talosian

Pike : 
"I'm going to gamble you're too intelligent to kill for no reason at all. On the other hand, I've got a reason. I'm willing to bet you've created an illusion this laser is empty. I think it just blasted a hole in that window and you're keeping us from seeing it."
