Tied for 4th most-quoted character in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982): in 8 of its 39 quotes
Most scenes with: Spock (6), James T. Kirk (5)
A no-win situation is the possibility every commander may face. Has that never occurred to you?
Saavik No, sir, it has not.
How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?
Saavik As I indicated, Admiral, that thought had not occurred to me.
Well, now you have something new to think about. Carry on.
Saavik He's never what I expect, sir.
What surprises you, Lieutenant?
Saavik He's so-- human.
Nobody's perfect, Saavik.
Saavik Sir, may I quote general order 12? "On aproach of any vessel when communications have not been established--"
Lieutenant, the Admiral is well aware of the regulations.
Saavik Aye, sir.
Saavik I don't understand...
You must know why things work on a Starship...
Each ship is programmed with its own prefix code...
To prevent an enemy from doing what we are attempting... 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?
Oh, I've given you no word to keep, Admiral. In my judgement, you simply have no alternative.
I see your point. Standby to receive our transmission. [sotto voice] Mr. Sulu, lock phasers on target and await my command.
Phasers locked.
Time's up, Admiral.
Here it comes, Khan. [To Spock] Now, Mr. Spock.
Saavik Sir, may I ask you a question?
What's on your mind, Lieutenant?
Saavik The Kobyashi Maru.
Are you asking me if we're playing out that scenario now?
Saavik On the test, sir, would you tell me what you did? I would really like to know.
Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet to ever beat the no-win senario. [points to Kirk]
Saavik How?
I reprogrammed the simulator so that it was possible to rescue the ship.
Saavik What?
He cheated.
I changed the conditions of the test; got a commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose.
Saavik Then you've never faced that situation... faced death.
I don't believe in the no-win senario. [pulls out communicator] Kirk to Spock, it's two hours, are you ready?
Right on schedule, Admiral. Just give us your co-ordinates and we'll beam you aboard.
All right. [to Saavik] I don't like to lose.
Saavik By the Book?
By the Book. Regulation 46A: "If communications are being monitored during battle..."
Saavik "... no uncoded messages on an open frequency". (To Spock) You lied.
I exaggerated.
Saavik What happens if Reliant fails to follow us into the nebula?
I think we can guarantee she'll follow us, Lieutenant. Remind me to explain to you the concept of the human ego.
[This line in a deleted scene was restored for the Director's Edition, an extended cut of the film.]
Time.
Saavik Three minutes, thirty seconds.
Distance from Reliant
Four thousand kilometers.
We're not going to make it, are we...
[Kirk looks at David Marcus; David shakes his head.]
