Alien
To your planet, welcome.
I think that's my line, stranger.
Alien
Oh, forgive. I here am new but you are known, being McCoy from Enterprise.
You have me at a disadvantage, sir.
Alien
I name not important. You seek I. Message received. Available ship stands by.
How much and how soon?
Alien
How soon is now. How much is where.
Somewhere in the Mutara Sector.
Alien
Ah, Mutara restricted! Take permits many! Money more.
McCoy There aren't going to be any damn permits! How can you get a permit to do a damn illegal thing? Look: price you name. Money I got!
Alien
Place you name, money I name, otherwise bargain no.
All right, damn it! It's Genesis! The name of the place we're going is Genesis!
Alien
[loudly]
Genesis?!
Yes, Genesis! How can you be deaf, with ears like that?!
Alien
Genesis allowed is not! Is planet forbidden!
Look, my backwards friend: Genesis may be "planet forbidden", but I'm damn well going t—
Federation security officer
[interrupting]
Sir, I'm sorry, but your voice is carrying. I don't think you want to be discussing this subject in public.
I'll discuss what I like! And who in the hell are you?
Security officer
Could I offer you a ride home, Dr. McCoy?
Where's the logic in offering me a ride home, you idiot? If I wanted a ride home, would I be trying to charter a space flight? [Alien growls.] How in the hell do you know who I am?
Security officer
[shows ID]
Federation Security, sir. [McCoy tries to nerve pinch him but fails] You're gonna get a nice long rest, doctor.
Captain Styles Ah, Mr. Scott. Calling it a night?
Uh, yes, sir.
Captain Styles Turning in myself, looking forward to breaking some of the Enterprise's speed records tomorrow.
Ah, yes, sir. Good night.
Elevator voice Level, please.
Transporter room.
Elevator voice Thank you.
Captain Styles Kirk, you do this, you'll never sit in the captain's chair again.
Warp speed.
Transwarp drive, maximum velocity in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
I used protomatter in the Genesis matrix.
Protomatter, a highly unstable substance which every ethical scientist condones as dangerously unpredictable.
It was the only way to solve certain problems.
So like your father, you changed the rules.
If I hadn't, it might have been years or never.
How many have paid the price for your impatience? How many have died? How much damage have you done? And what is yet to come?
Don't call me Tiny.
The word, sir?
The word is no. I am therefore going anyway.
You can count on our help, sir.
Thank you, Mr. Sulu, I'll need it.
Pavel Chekov Shall I alert Dr. McCoy?
Please. He has a long journey ahead of him.

David, what went wrong?
I went wrong.
I don't understand.
I'm sorry, sir. Just don't surrender. Genesis doesn't work. I can't believe they'd kill us for it.
[David's last words]
Admiral, your young friend is mistaken, I meant what I said. And now to show that my intentions are sincere, I shall kill one of the prisoners.
Wait a minute! Give me a chance to talk.
How much refit time before we can take her out again?
Eight weeks, Sir, [Kirk opens his mouth] but ya don't have eight weeks, so I'll do it for ya in two.
Mr.Scott. Have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?
Certainly, Sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?
Mr. Sulu, what is the crew complement of a bird of prey?
About a dozen officers and men.
With some of them on the planet. I swear to you, we're not finished yet. Bones, you and Sulu to the transporter room. The rest of you with me, we have a job to do. [to Kruge] Commander, Klingon vessel... prepare to board this ship on my next signal.
No tricks, Kirk. You have one minute.
No tricks. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
My God, what have I done?
What you had to do, what you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live.
Scotty, as good as your word.
Aye, sir. The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain. Here, Doctor, souvenirs from one surgeon to another. I took them out of her main transwarp computer drive.
Nice of you to tell me in advance.
That's what you get for missing staff meetings, Doctor. Gentleman, your work today has been outstanding. I intend to recommend you all for promotion... in whatever fleet we end up serving. Best speed to Genesis.
You, help us or die!
Maltz I do not deserve to live.
Fine. I'll kill you later.
