Khan, you bloodsucker! You're going to 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 everybody else, but like a poor marksman you keep missing the target!
Perhaps I no longer need to try, Admiral. [Beams up Genesis Device]
David Marcus They can't take it.
Khan. Khan, you've got Genesis. But you don't have me! You're going to kill me, Khan, you're going to have to come down here. 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 of a dead planet. Buried alive... buried alive.

KHHHHAAAAAAAAN! [echoes] KHHHHAAAAAAAAN!
[in the Genesis Cave] [to Kirk]
Sir, may I ask you a question?
What's on your mind, Lieutenant?
Are you asking me if we're playing out that scenario now?
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]
I reprogrammed the simulator so that it was possible to rescue the ship.
David Marcus He cheated.
I changed the conditions of the test; got a commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose.
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?
[over communicator]
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.
I should be on the bridge.
David Marcus Can I talk to you for a minute?
I poured myself a drink. Would you like it?
David Marcus 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 of death... and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing.
David Marcus You knew enough to tell Saavik that how we face death is at least as important as how we face life.
David Marcus 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?
David Marcus Mainly. And also that I'm... proud. Very proud to be your son.
