How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Quote #1
McCOY: Admiral? Wouldn't it be easier to just put an experienced crew back on the ship?
KIRK: Galloping about the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor.
UHURA: Now what is that supposed to mean?
Kirk is saying that it's time to hang up the spurs here, that maybe he and the gang need to find a nice desk job instead of saving the universe and such. In his mind, we may as well just roll the credits now. That's the attitude that his journey has to change.
Quote #2
KIRK: It had the virtue of never having been tried. Oh, by the way...thank you for this.
SPOCK: I know of your fondness for antiques.
KIRK: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Message, Spock?
SPOCK: None that I'm conscious of...except, of course, happy birthday.
Interesting quote. We wonder if it's going to have some kind of payoff later on in the picture.
