"And not instantly, to be sure." "You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex."

"Commander Chekov, this is completely irregular." "Ihave myorders." "Pin him down, mother." "Who gave the order?" "The ordercomes from..." "AdmiraIJames T. Kirk." "I knew it!" "The military's been waiting to get their hands on it." "I have no intention ofallowing Reliant or any unauthorized personnel access to our work." "Iam sorry thatyou feelthat way." "AdmiraIKirk's orders are confirmed." "Please prepare to deliver Genesis to us upon our arrival." "Reliant out." "Well done, Commander." "You realize, sir, they will attempt to contact Admiral Kirk and confilrm the order." "Hold, please." "Thank you, sir." "Lieutenant, are you wearing your hair differently?" "It's still regulation, Admiral." "May I speak, sir?" "Self-expression doesn't seem to be one of your problems." "You're bothered by your performance on the KobayashiMaru." "I failed to resolve the situation." "There's no correct resolution." "It's a test ofcharacter." "May I ask how you dealt with the test?" "You may ask." "That's a littlejoke." "Humor." "It is a diffilcult concept." "It is not logical." "We learn by doing." "Who's been holding up the damn elevator?" "Thank you, sir." "She change her hair style?" "I hadn't noticed."

"Why are you taking Genesis from us?" "Taking Genesis?" "Who's taking Genesis?" "Who is taking Genesis?" "Ican seeyou, but lcan't hear." "Jim, did you give the order?" "What order?" "Who's taking Genesis?" "I won't let them have Genesis without proper authorization." "On whose authority can they do this?" "No one's authority." "Jim" "Uhura, what's happening?" "Transmission jammed at the source." "Alert Starfleet headquarters." "Aye, sir." "I want to talk to Starfleet command." "We must have order in here." "This has to be a mistake." "Mistake." "We're all alone here." "They waited until ever yone was on leave." "Reliant is at our disposal, not vice versa." "I can't believe Starfleet" "I tried to tell you scientists are always pawns of the military." "Starfleet has kept peace for 100 years." "I cannot subscribe to your interpretation of this event." "You may be right, Doctor, but what about Reliant?" "She's on her way." "We have a problem." "Something may be wrong on Regula-1." "We've been ordered to investigate." "If memory serves," "Regula-1 is a scientifilc research laboratory." "I told Starfleet command all we had was a boatload ofchildren, but we're the only ship in the quadrant." "Spock, these cadets of yours" "How will they respond under real pressure?" "As with all living things, each according to his gifts." "Of course, the ship is yours." "No, that won't be necessary." "Just get me to Regula-1." "As a teacher on a training mission," "I am content to command the Enterprise." "Ifwe go on duty, the senior offilcer must assume command." "It may be nothing." "Garbled communications." "You take the ship." "You proceed from a false assumption." "I am a Vulcan." "I have no ego to bruise." "You're about to remind me" "logic alone dictates your actions?" "I would not remind you of that which you know so well." "It was a mistake for you to accept promotion." "Commanding a starship is your filrst, best destiny." "Anything else is a waste of material." "I would not presume to debate you." "That is wise." "In any case, were I to invoke logic," "logic dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." "Or the one." "You're my superior offilcer." "You are also my friend." "I have been and always shall be yours." "Stop the energizers." "Put me on speakers." "An emergency situation has arisen."

"Course plotted for Regula-1, Admiral." "Engage warp engines." "Prepare for warp speed." "Ready, sir." "I know none of you were expecting this." "I'm asking you to grow up sooner than you expected." "Warp filve, Sulu." "So much for the little training cruise." "Course to intercept Enterprise ready, sir." "Excellent." "Helmsman?" "Sir." "May I speak?" "We're all with you, sir." "But consider this" "We are free." "We have the means to go where we will." "We have escaped permanent exile on Ceti Alpha V." "You have proved your superior intellect and defeated the plans ofAdmiral Kirk." "You do not need to defeat him again." "He tasks me." "He tasks me, and I shall have him." "I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and round perdition's flames before I give him up." "Prepare to alter course." "Space Station Regula-1, please come in." "Dr. Marcus, please respond." "This is Enterprise call" "It's no use." "There's no response." "But no longerjammed." "No, sir." "No nothing." "There are two possibilities-- they are unable to respond, they are unwilling to respond." "How far?" "12 hours, 43 minutes, present speed." ""Give up Genesis," she said." "Give it up to whom?" "It might help if I knew what Genesis was, beyond the biblical reference." "Have Dr. McCoy join us in my quarters." "Mr. Saavik, you have the con." "Well, I've got sickbay ready." "Please tell me what's going on." "Computer, request security procedure and access to Project Genesis summary." "Identify forretina scan." "Kirk, Admiral James T." "Securityscan approved." "Summary, please." "Project Genesis." "A proposal to the Federation." "Carol Marcus." "Yes." "What exactly is Genesis?" "Well, putsimply," "Genesis is life from lifelessness." "It isaprocess wherebymolecularstructure is reorganized at thesubatomic level into life-generatingmatter ofequalmass." "Stage One was conducted in the laboratory." "Stage Two willbe attempted in a lifeless underground." "Stage Three willbeprocessed on aplanetaryscale." "We intendto introduce the Genesis device into an area ofa lifeless space body-- a moon orotherdeadform." "The device is delivered, instantaneouslycausing what we call the Genesis Effect." "Matteris reorganized with life-generating results." "Insteadofa deadmoon, a living, breathingplanet capable ofsustaining whateverlife forms wesee fit to deposit on it." "Fascinating." "The reformedmoon simulatedhere represents the merest fraction of the Genesispotential, shouldthe Federation fundthese experiments." "When we considertheproblems ofpopulation andfoodsupply, the usefulness of thisprocess becomes clear." "This concludes ourproposal." "Thank you." "It literally is Genesis." "Power ofcreation." "Have they proceeded with their experiments?" "The tape was made last year." "I assume they've reached Stage Two." "Dear Lord, do you think we're intelligent enough to..." "Suppose..." "What if this were used where life already exists?" "It would destroy such life in favor of its new matrix." "Its new matrix." "Do you know what you're saying?" "I was not evaluating its moral implications." "As a matter of cosmic history, it's been easier to destroy than to create." "Not anymore." "Now we can do both simultaneously." "According to myth, the earth was created in six days." "Now Genesis will do it in six minutes." "Really, Dr. McCoy, you must govern your passions." "They will be your undoing." "Logic suggests" "My God, the man's talking about logic." "We're talking about universal Armageddon." "You green-blooded, inhuman" "Admiral, sensors indicate a vessel in our area closing fast."

"Slowing to 1/2 impulse power." "Reliant in our section." "This quadrant, sir, and slowing." "Sir, may I quote general order 12?" ""When communications have not been established--"" "The Admiral is well aware of the regulations." "Aye, sir." "Could their Comm system have failed?" "It would explain many things." "They're requesting communication, sir." "Let them eat static." "They're still running with shields down." "Of course." "We are one big happy fleet." "Ah, Kirk, my old friend." "Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold?" "It is very cold in space." "This is damn peculiar." "Yellow alert." "Energize defense filelds." "I'm getting a voice message." "Their chambers coil is overloading their Comm system." "Spock?" "Scanning." "Their coil emissions are normal." "They still haven't raised their shields." "Raise ours."

"Get off those channels!" "Mr. Scott on the screen." "I'm just hanging on, sir." "The main energizer's out." "Try auxiliary power." "Aye, aye, sir." "Damage report." "They knew exactly where to hit us." "Who?" "Who knew where to hit us?" "And why?" "One thing is certain." "We cannot escape on auxiliary power." "Visual." "Sulu, divert power to phasers." "Too late." "Hang on!" "Scotty, what's left?" "Just the battery, sir." "I can have auxiliary power in a few minutes." "We don't have a few minutes!" "Can you give me phaser power?" "A few shots, sir." "Not enough against their shields." "Who the hell are they?" "Admiral, the Reliant's commander is signaling." "He wishes to discuss terms ofour surrender." "Put it on screen." "Admiral." "Do it!" "While we still have time." "On screen, sir." "Khan." "You still remember, Admiral." "I cannot help but be touched." "I, of course, remember you." "What's the meaning of this attack?" "Where's the crew of the Reliant?" "Surely, I have made my meaning plain." "I mean to avenge myself upon you, Admiral." "I deprived your ship of power, and when I swing around," "I mean to deprive you of your life." "But I wanted you to know filrst who it was who had beaten you." "Khan... if it's me you want," "I'll have myself beamed aboard." "Spare my crew." "I make you a counterproposal." "I'll agree to your terms if... if... in addition to yourself, you hand over to me all data and material regarding the project called Genesis." "Genesis?" "What's that?" "Don't insult my intelligence, Kirk." "Give me time to recall the data on our computers." "I give you 60 seconds, Admiral." "Clear the bridge." "At least we know he doesn't have Genesis." "Keep nodding as though I'm still giving orders." "Mr. Saavik, punch up the data charts of Reliant's command console." "Reliant's Command?" "Hurry." "The prefilx code?" "It's all we've got." "Chart's up, sir." "Admiral." "We're filnding it." "Admiral." "Please." "Please, you've got to give us time." "The bridge is smashed." "The computer's inoperative." "Time is a luxury you don't have, Admiral." "Damn!" "Admiral?" "It's coming through now, Khan." "Reliant's prefilx number is 16309." "I don't understand." "You have to learn why things work on a starship." "Each ship has its own combination code... to prevent an enemy from doing what we're attempting." "We're using our console to order Reliant to lower her shields." "Assuming he hasn't changed the combination." "He's quite intelligent." "15 seconds, Admiral." "Khan, how do we know you'll keep your word?" "I've given you no word to keep, Admiral." "In myjudgment, you simply have no alternative." "I see your point." "Stand by to receive our transmission." "Mr. Sulu, lock phasers on target and await my command." "Phasers locked." "Time's up, Admiral." "Here it comes." "Now, Mr. Spock." "Sir, our shields are dropping." "Raise them!" "I can't!" "Where's the override?" "The override?" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "We can't, sir!" "Why can't you?" "They've damaged the photon control and the warp drive." "We must withdraw!" "No!" "No!" "We must!" "Enterprise will wait." "She's not going anywhere." "Sir, you did it." "I did nothing... except get caught with my britches down." "I must be getting senile." "Mr. Saavik, you go right on quoting regulations." "Meantime, let's filnd out how badly we've been hurt." "Is the word given, Admiral?" "The word is given." "Warp speed." "Aye." "He stayed at his post when the trainees ran." "Admiral, this is Spock." "Yes, Spock." "Engine room reports auxiliarypowerrestored." "We canproceed at impulsepower." "Best speed to Regula-1."

"Sensors, Captain." "Scanners and sensors are still inoperative." "There's no way to ascertain what's inside the station." "No way oftelling if Reliant is still in the area." "Precisely." "What do you make of that planetoid beyond?" "Regula is Class D." "It consists ofvarious unremarkable ores, essentially a great rock in space." "And Reliant could be hiding behind that rock." "A distinct possibility." "Engineering." "Aye, sir." "Mr. Scott, do you have enough power for transporters?" "Barely, sir." "I'm going down there." "Khan could be down there." "He's been there."

"He... he put creatures in our bodies to control our minds." "It's all right." "You're safe now." "Made us say lies... do things... but we beat him." "He thought he controlled us, but he did not." "The Captain was strong." "Captain... where's Dr. Marcus?" "Where are the Genesis materials?" "He couldn't filnd them." "Even the data banks were empty." "Erased?" "He tortured those people." "But none of them would tell him anything." "He went wild." "He slit their throats." "He wanted to tear the place apart, but he was late." "He had to get back to the Reliant in time to blow you to bits." "Where's Reliant's crew?" "Dead?" "Marooned on Ceti Alpha V." "He's completely mad, Admiral." "He blames you for the death of his wife." "I know what he blames me for." "The escape pods are all in place." "Where's the transporter room?" "Did he make it down here?" "It was not my impression." "He spent most of his time trying to wring the information out of the people." "Anything?" "The unit's been left on, which means nobody remained to turn it off." "Those people back there bought escape time for Genesis with their lives." "This is not logical." "These coordinates are deep inside Regula, a planetoid we know to be lifeless." "IfStage Two is completed, it was going to be underground." "It was going to be underground, she said." "Stage Two ofwhat?" "Kirk to Enterprise." "Spockhere." "Captain Spock, damage report." "Admiral, ifwego bythe book," "like LieutenantSaavik, hours couldseem like days." "I read you, Captain." "Let's have it." "Thesituation isgrave, Admiral." "We won't have mainpower forsix days." "Auxiliarypower has temporarily failed." "Restoration maybepossible in two days." "Bythe book, Admiral." "Meaning you can't even beam us back?" "Not atpresent." "Captain Spock... if you don't hear from us within one hour, your orders are to restore what power you can, take the Enterprise to the nearest starbase, and alert Starfleet command." "Sir, we won't leaveyou behind." "Uhura, if you don't hear from us, there won't be anybody behind." "Kirk out." "Well, gentlemen, you can stay here, or..." "If it's all the same, Admiral, we'd like to share the risk." "Right." "Let's go." "Saavik?" "Go?" "Where are we going?" "Where they went." "Suppose they went nowhere?" "Then this will be your big chance to get away from it all." "Admiral." "Genesis, I presume." "[ Rattling ]" "Phasers down!" "You!" "Where's Dr. Marcus?" "I'm Dr. Marcus." "Jim!" "Is that David?" "Mother, he killed everybody we left behind." "Oh, of course he didn't." "David, you'rejust making this harder." "I'm afraid it's even harder than you think, Doctor." "Please... don't move." "Chekov?" "I'm... sorry, Admiral." "Your Excellency, have you been listening?" "I have indeed, Captain." "You have done well." "I knew it." "You son ofa bitch!" "Don't move, anybody!" "Captain?" "We are waiting." "What's the delay?" "All is well, sir." "You have the coordinates to beam up Genesis." "First things filrst, Captain." "Kill Admiral Kirk." "Sir, it is diffilcult." "I..." "I try to obey, but..." "Kill him." "I..." "Aah!" "[ High-Pitched Tone ]" "Kill him, Terrell, now!" "Aah!" "[ High-Pitched Tone ]" "Aah!" "God sakes!" "What is it?" "Khan, you bloodsucker!" "You'll have to do your own dirty work now." "Do you hear me?" "Do you?" "Kirk." "Kirk, you're still alive, my old friend." "Still, "old friend."" "You've managed to kill just about ever yone else." "But like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target!" "Perhaps I no longer need to try, Admiral." "Oh, no!" "They can'ttake it." "Khan?" "Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me." "If you're going to kill me, Khan, you're going to have to come down here!" "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 ofa dead planet." "Buried alive." "Buried alive." "Khan!" "Khan!" "This is Lieutenant Saavik calling Enterprise." "Can you read us?" "This is Lieutenant Saavik." "Calling Enterprise." "Can you read us?" "He's coming around." "Can you read us?" "It's no use, Admiral." "They're still jamming all channels." "If the Enterprise followed orders, she's long since gone." "Ifshe couldn't obey, she's filnished." "So are we, it looks like." "I don't understand." "Who's responsible for all this?" "Who is Khan?" "Well, it's a long story." "We appear to have plenty oftime." "Is there anything to eat?" "I don't know about anybody else, but I'm starved." "How can you think offood at a time like this?" "First order of business--survival." "There is food in the Genesis cave, enough to last a lifetime... if necessary." "We thought this was Genesis." "This?" "It took the Starfleet corps ofengineers 10 months in space suits to tunnel out all this." "What we did in there, we did in a day." "David, why don't you show" "Dr. McCoy and the lieutenant our idea offood?" "We can'tjust sit here." "Oh, yes, we can." "This isjust to give us something to do, isn't it?" "Come on." "Admiral?" "As your teacher Mr. Spock is fond to say," "I like to think that there always are possibilities." "I did what you wanted." "I stayed away." "Why didn't you tell him?" "How can you ask me that?" "Were we together?" "Were we going to be?" "You had your world, and I had mine." "And I wanted him in mine, not chasing through the universe with his father." "Actually... he's a lot like you... in many ways." "Please tell me what you're feeling." "There's a man out there I haven't seen in 15 years who's trying to kill me." "You show me a son that would be happy to help." "My son." "My life that could have been... and wasn't." "What am I feeling?" "Old." "Worn-out." "Let me show you something that will make you feel young as when the world was new." "Impulse power restored." "Excellent." "More than a match for poor Enterprise." "You did all this in a day?" "The matrix formed in a day." "The life forms grew later at a substantially accelerated rate." "Jim!" "This is incredible!" "Have you ever seen the like?" "Can I cook or can't I?" "Where is she?" "Sir, may I ask you a question?" "What's on your mind?" "The KobayashiMaru, sir." "You're asking ifwe're playing out that scenario?" "On the test, sir." "Will you tell me what you did?" "I would really like to know." "Lieutenant, you're looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario." "How?" "I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship." "What?" "He cheated." "Changed the conditions of the test." "Got a commendation for original thinking." "I don't like to lose." "Then you never faced that situation... faced death." "I don't believe in the no-win scenario." "Kirk to Spock." "It's two hours." "Are you ready?" "Right on schedule." "Justgive usyourcoordinates, and we'll beamyou aboard." "All right." "I don't like to lose." "We were immobilized." "Captain Spock said it would be two days." "You go by the book." "Spock, you know Dr. Marcus." "Of course." "Hello, Mr. Spock." "I'm taking them to sickbay." "By the book?" "By the book." "Regulation 46a" ""Iftransmissions are being monitored during battle... no uncoded messages on an open channel."" "You lied." "I exaggerated." "Hours instead ofdays." "Now we have minutes instead of hours." "They're inoperative below C-Deck." "What is working around here?" "Not much, Admiral." "We have partial main power." "That's it?" "Best we can do in two hours." "Admiral on the bridge." "Battle stations." "Tactical." "Uh-oh." "She can still outrun us and outgun us," "But there is the Mutara Nebula at 153 mark 4." "Scotty, can we make it inside?" "The energizer's bypassed like a Christmas tree, so don't give me too many bumps." "No promises." "On your way." "Trouble with the nebula, sir, is all that static discharging gas clouds our tactical display." "Visual won't function, and shields will be useless." "Sauce for the goose, Mr. Saavik." "The odds will be even." "Alley clear, sir." "Repairing second." "Ready to filre away 1." "There she is!" "There she is." "Ahh." "Not so wounded as we were led to believe." "So much the better." "Estimating nebula penetration in 2.2 minutes." "Reliant is closing." "If they go in there, we'll lose them." "Explain it to them." "That was close." "Theyjust don't want us going in there." "One minute to nebula perimeter." "Why are we slowing?" "We daren't follow them into the nebula, sir." "Our shields would be useless." "They are reducing speed." "Uhura, patch me in." "Aye, sir." "You're on, Admiral." "This is Admiral Kirk." "We tried it once your way, Khan." "Are you game for a rematch?" "Khan." "I'm laughing at the superior intellect." "Full impulse power." "No, sir!" "You have Genesis." "You can have whatever you" "Full power!" "Damn you!" "I'll say this for him-- he's consistent." "We are now entering the Mutara Nebula." "Emergency lights." "Oh!" "Tactical." "Inoperative." "Raise the shields." "As I feared, sir-- not functional." "I'm reducing speed." "Target, sir." "Phaser lock inoperative, sir." "Best guess, Mr. Sulu." "Fire when ready." "Oh!" "Aft torpedoes, filre!" "Hold your course." "Phasers starboard!" "Aah!" "Fire!" "Damage, Mr. Scott." "Admiral, I've got to take the mains off the line." "It's radiation..." "Scotty." "Joachim." "Yours... is a superior..." "I shall avenge you." "Could you use another hand, Admiral?" "Man the weapons console, Mr. Chekov." "Spock." "Sporadic energy readings, port side aft." "Could be an impulse turn." "He won't break off now." "He followed me this far." "He'll be back." "But from where?" "He's intelligent, but not experienced." "His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking." "Full stop." "Full stop, sir." "Z minus 10,000 meters." "Stand by photon torpedoes." "Torpedoes ready, sir." "Look sharp." "Fire." "Aah!" "Fire." " Aah!" " Aah!" "Aah!" "Uhura..." "Uhura... send to Commander, Reliant." "Prepare to be boarded." "Aye, sir." "Commander, Reliant." "This is Enterprise." "Surrender and prepare to be boarded." "Enterprise to Reliant." "You are ordered to surrender your vessel." "Respond." "Reliant." "Come in, Reliant." "You are ordered to surrender your vessel." "Enterprise to Reliant." "You are ordered to surrender your vessel." "Respond." "No, Kirk." "The game's not over." "To the last I will grapple with thee." "Admiral." "Scanning an energy source on Reliant." "A pattern I've never seen before." "It's the Genesis wave." "What?" "They're on a build-up to detonation." "How soon?" "We encoded four minutes." "We'll beam aboard and stop it." "You can't." "Scotty, I need warp speed in three minutes or we're all dead." "[ Uhura ] No response, Admiral." "Scotty." "Mr. Sulu, get us out of here." "Best possible speed." "Aye, sir." "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?" "No human can tolerate the radiation in there!" "As you are so fond of observing, Doctor," "I am not human." "You're not going in there." "Perhaps you're right." "What is Mr. Scott's condition?" "Well, I don't think that he" "I'm sorry, Doctor." "I have no time to discuss this logically." "Remember." "Spock!" "Get out of there!" "Spock!" "Spock, get out of there!" "Time, from my mark." "2 minutes, 10 seconds." "Engine room... what's happening?" "Spock!" "Scotty..." "Good God, man!" "Get out of there!" "No!" "Don't!" "Spock!" "Spock!" "Don't!" "Time." "3 minutes, 30 seconds." "Distance from Reliant." "4,000 kilometers." "We're not going to make it, are we?" "No." "No, you can't get away." "From hell's heart, I stab at thee." "For hate's sake," "I spit my last breath at thee." "Sir, the mains are back on line." "Bless you, Scotty." "Go, Sulu!" "My God, Carol, look at it." "Engine room." "Well done, Scotty." "Jim..." "Ithink you'dbetter get down here." "Bones?" "Betterhurry." "Saavik, take the con." "No!" "You'll flood the whole compartment." "He'll die." "Sir, he's dead already." "It's too late." "Spock!" "Ship... out ofdanger?" "Yes." "Don't grieve, Admiral." "It is logical." "The needs of the many outweigh..." "The needs of the few..." "Or the one." "I never took the KobayashiMaru test... until now." "What do you think of my solution?" "Spock..." "I..." "I have been... and always shall be... your friend." "Live long... and prosper." "No." "We are assembled here today" "To pay filnal respects to our honored dead." "And yet it should be noted that in the midst ofour sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise ofa new world, a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect." "He did not feel this sacrifilce a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings." "Of my friend, I can only say this" "ofall the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human." "Honors..." "Hup." "[ Playing Amazing Grace]" "[ Knock On Door ]" "Come." "I don't mean to intrude." "No, not at all." "I should be on the bridge." "Can I talk to you for a minute?" "I poured myselfa drink." "Would you like it?" "Lieutenant Saavik was right." "You never have faced death." "No, not like this." "I haven't faced death." "I've cheated death." "I've tricked my way out ofdeath and patted myselfon the back for my ingenuity." "I know nothing." "You knew enough to tell Saavik that how we faced death is at least as important as how we face life." "Just words." "But good words." "That's where ideas begin." "Maybe you should listen to them." "I was wrong about you... and I'm sorry." "Is that what you came here to say?" "Mainly." "And also that I'm... proud." "Very proud... to be your son." "Captain 'slog.:" "Stardate 8141.6."
