Quotes
-
Kruge : [1:00:44] 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 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.
-
McCoy : [1:18:52] Rapid aging. All genetic functions highly accelerated.
Kirk : What about his mind?
McCoy : His mind is a void. It seems, Admiral, that I've got all his marbles.
Kirk : Is there anything we can do?
Saavik : Only one thing, sir. Get him off this planet. His aging is part of what's going on around us.
-
Saavik : [to David] 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?
-
David Marcus : This planet's aging in surges.
Saavik : And Spock with it. It seems they're joined together.
David Marcus : They are.
Saavik : How long?
David Marcus : Days... maybe hours. I'm sorry.
Saavik : It will be hardest on Spock. Soon he will feel the burning of his Vulcan blood.
David Marcus : I don't understand.
Saavik : Pon farr. Vulcan males must endure it every seventh year of their adult life.
-
Captain Esteban : Grissom to Saavik. We're picking up radiation from the life form.
Saavik : Affirmative, Captain. Our readings are well below danger level.
Captain Esteban : Very well. Exercise caution, Lieutenant. This landing is captain's discretion, and I'm the one who's out on a limb.
Saavik : I'll try to remember that, Captain.
-
Saavik : All units functional. Recorders are on. Scanning sector 1. Foliage in fully-developed state of growth. Temperature, 22.2 Celsius.
David Marcus : Sector 2 indicating desert terrain. Minimal vegetation. Temperature, 39.4.
Saavik : Sector 3, subtropical vegetation. Temperature decreasing rapidly.
David Marcus : [looking at the monitor over her shoulder] It's snow. Snow in the same sector. Fantastic.
Saavik : Fascinating.
David Marcus : All the varieties of land and weather known to Earth within a few hours' walk.
Saavik : [getting an alert] Metallic mass.
David Marcus : Close-range scan. A photon tube. Gravitational fields were in flux. It must have soft-landed.
Captain Esteban : [to his communications officer] Encode to Starfleet: "Captain Spock's tube located on Genesis' surface."
-
Saavik : We have reached the destination planet at .035.
Captain Esteban : Very well, Lieutenant. Helm, execute standard orbital approach.
Helm : Standard orbit. Aye, sir.
Captain Esteban : Communications. Send a coded message for Starfleet Commander, priority 1. "Federation science vessel Grissom arriving Genesis Planet, Mutara sector, to begin research. J.T. Esteban, commanding."
Communications : Aye, sir. Coding now.
Captain Esteban : Dr. Marcus, it's your planet.
David Marcus : Begin scanning, please.
[whispering in her ear]
David Marcus : This is where the fun begins, Saavik.
Saavik : Just like your father; so human.
-
Saavik : It's time for total truth between us. This planet is not what you intended or hoped for, is it?
David Marcus : Not exactly.
Saavik : Why?
David Marcus : I used protomatter in the Genesis matrix.
Saavik : Protomatter. An unstable substance which every ethical scientist in the galaxy has denounced as dangerously unpredictable.
David Marcus : It was the only way to solve certain problems.
Saavik : So, like your father, you changed the rules.
David Marcus : If I hadn't, it might have been years or never.
Saavik : 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?
-
David Marcus : I don't believe it.
Captain Esteban : What is it?
Saavik : If equipment is functioning properly, indications are an animal life-form.
Captain Esteban : You said there wouldn't be any.
David Marcus : There shouldn't be any.
Saavik : Cross-referenced and verified. An unidentifiable life-form reading.
Communications : Do you wish to advise Starfleet, sir?
Captain Esteban : Wait a minute. We don't know what we're talking about here.
David Marcus : Why don't we beam it up?
Captain Esteban : Oh, no, you don't. Regulations specifically state nothing shall be beamed aboard until danger of contamination has been eliminated.
Saavik : Captain, the logical alternative is obvious. Beaming down to the surface is permitted.
Captain Esteban : If the captain decides that the mission is vital and reasonably free of danger.
David Marcus : Captain, please, we'll take the risk, but we've got to find out what it is.
Saavik : Or who.
-
David Marcus : There are your life-forms. These were microbes on the tube's surface. We shot them here from Enterprise. They were fruitful and multiplied.
Saavik : But how could they have evolved so quickly?
David Marcus : [opening the tube] Saavik?
[taking out and handing her a black cloak]
David Marcus : What is it?
Saavik : Spock's burial robe.
-
Saavik : [1:09:32] Admiral, David is dead
Kirk : Klingon bastard, youkilled my son! Klingon bastard you killed my son. Klingon bastard.
Kruge : There are two more prisoners. Do you want them killed, too? Surrender your vessel
Kirk : All right. All right damn you. All right. Give me a minute to inform my crew
Saavik : I give two minutes for you and your gallant crew
