Kruge
I've come a long way for the power of Genesis, and what do I find? A weakling human, a Vulcan boy, and a woman.
Saavik
My lord, we are survivors of a doomed expedition. This planet will destroy itself in hours. The Genesis experiment is a failure.
Kruge
A failure. The most powerful destructive force ever created. You will tell me the secret of the Genesis torpedo.
Saavik
I have no knowledge.
Kruge
Then I hope pain's something you enjoy.
James T. Kirk
David, what went wrong?
David Marcus
I went wrong.
James T. Kirk
I don't understand.
David Marcus
I'm sorry, sir. Just don't surrender. Genesis doesn't work. I can't believe they'd kill us for it.
Kruge
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.
James T. Kirk
Wait a minute! Give me a chance to talk.
Kruge
Kill one of them. I don't care which.
Kruge
Take every last man. Form a boarding party armed heavily.
They outnumbered us, my lord.
Kruge
We are Klingons! Once you control the ship, we'll transfer our flag there and take Genesis from their own memory banks.
James T. Kirk
Mr. Sulu, what is the crew complement of a bird of prey?
Hikaru Sulu
About a dozen officers and men.
James T. Kirk
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.
Kruge
No tricks, Kirk. You have one minute.
James T. Kirk
No tricks. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
My lord, the ship appears to be deserted.
Kruge
How can that be? They're hiding!
Yes, sir. But the bridge is run by computer. It is the only thing speaking.
Kruge
Speaking? Let me hear.
9...8...7...6... 5...
Kruge
Get out! Get out of there! Get out!
2... 1...
[The Enterprise bridge explodes]
Kruge
Genesis. I want it!
James T. Kirk
Beam the Vulcan up, and we'll talk.
Kruge
Give me what I want, and I'll consider it.
James T. Kirk
You fool, look around you! The planet's destroying itself!
Kruge
Yes, exhilarating, isn't it?
James T. Kirk
If we don't help each other, we'll die here.
Kruge
Perfect. Then that's the way it shall be.
