Kirk: [reading] "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." - Message, Spock? Spock: None that I'm conscious of. Except of course; happy birthday! -Surely the best of times.
[from trailer] [the Enterprise comes face to face with the Vengeance] James T. Kirk: [to his crew] I am sorry.
[from trailer] Spock: [stuck in a volcano] We must maintain the Prime Directive... James T. Kirk: Nobody knows the rules better than you, Spock, but sometimes exceptions have to be made!
Nero: James T. Kirk was considered to be a great man. He went on to captain the U.S.S. Enterprise... but that was another life. A life I will deprive you of just like I did your father!
Yeah, the whole family knows. It's no big deal. One night at dinner I said, 'Mom, you know the forbidden love that Spock has for Kirk? Well, me too.' It was easier for her to understand that way.
Kirk: I suppose you're about to remind me that logic alone dictates your actions? Spock: I would not remind you of that which you know so well.
Kirk: Khan, how do I know you'll keep your word? Khan: Oh, I've given you no word to keep, Admiral. In my judgment, you simply have no alternative.
McCoy: Admiral, wouldn't it be easier to put an experienced crew back on the ship? Kirk: Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor. [Leaves] Commander Nyota Uhura: Now what is that supposed to mean?
[Kirk remotely commands Reliant's shields to drop] Joachim: Our shields are dropping. Khan: Then raise them! Joachim: [pounds fists on console] I can't! Khan: The override. Where's the override?
[Saavik has just left the turbolift] Dr. McCoy: Did she change her hairstyle? Kirk: I hadn't noticed. Dr. McCoy: Wonderful stuff, that Romulan Ale.
David Marcus: Remember that overgrown Boy Scout you used to hang around with? That's exactly the kind of guy... Carol Marcus: Listen, kiddo, Jim Kirk was *many* things, but he was *never* a Boy Scout!
Tim: [Klingon phrase] qIrq HoH. Carol: It means I like to mate after battle. Tim: That's not what I said. Carol: Yeah... Tim: No, no. That wasn't the one I said. This one means Kill Kirk... And also, hallelujah... Depending on the context.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Gaila, who is he? Gaila: Who's who? Lt. Nyota Uhura: The mouth-breather hiding under your bed? James T. Kirk: [comes out from under Gaila's bed] You can hear me breathing?
Sarek frowned. "Insubordination?" "Eccentricity," Spock replied. "Captain Kirk allows a great deal of leeway as long as his crewmembers do their jobs well. Mr. Chevron simply takes advantage of it." "That good at his job, is he?" asked Sarek. "Indeed...
Bones: Jim, you just sat that man down at a high-stakes poker game with no cards and told him to bluff. Now, Sulu's a good man, but he's no captain. James T. Kirk: For the next two hours, he is. And enough with the metaphors, all right? That's an ord...
[from trailer] Spock: Captain, I cannot allow you to do this! Bones: Jim, you're not actually going after this guy, are you? James T. Kirk: I have no idea what I'm supposed to do! I only know what I *can* do!
Spock: The Kobayashi Maru scenario frequently wreaks havoc on students and equipment. As I recall you took the test three times yourself. Your final solution was, shall we say, unique? Kirk: It had the virtue of never having been tried.

Joachim: They're still running with shields down. Khan: 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? [pause] Khan: It is very cold in space!
