Khan : Captain, Captain, Captain... save your strength. These people have sworn to live and die at my command two hundred years before you were born. Do you mean he never told you the tale? To amuse your Captain, no? Never told you how the Enterprise picked up the Botany Bay, lost in space from the year 1996 with myself and the ship's company in cryogenic freeze?
Capt. Terrell : I've never even met Admiral Kirk.
Khan : 'Admiral?' 'Admiral!' 'Admiral'... Never told you how 'Admiral' Kirk sent seventy of us into exile in this barren sandheap with only the contents of these cargo bays to sustain us?
Chekov : You lie! On Ceti Alpha Five there was life! A fair chance...
Khan : [shouts] THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE! Ceti Alpha Six exploded six months after we were left here. The shock shifted the orbit of this planet and everything was laid waste. 'Admiral' Kirk never bothered to check on our progress. It was only the fact of my genetically-engineered intellect that allowed us to survive. On Earth, 200 years ago, I was a prince with power over millions.
Chekov : Captain Kirk was your host. You repaid his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder him!
-
Chekov : Botany Bay?
[recognizing the name]
Chekov : Botany Bay! Oh, no! We've got to get out of here now. Damn!
Capt. Terrell : What about...
Chekov : Hurry!
Capt. Terrell : What about the...
Chekov : Never mind that. Hurry! Hurry!
Capt. Terrell : Chekov, what's the matter with you?

[Khan, about to put Ceti Eels in Terrell and Chekov's ears]
Khan : You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later, as they grow, follows madness and death.
Chekov : Khan, listen to me...
Khan : These are pets, of course. Not quite domesticated.

Chekov : [to Khan] Captain Kirk was your host. You repaid his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder him!

[Chekov has noticed an energy flux reading on the scanner, prompting Terrell to contact Dr. Carol Marcus]
Captain Clark Terrell : Maybe it's something we can transplant, uhm?
Cmdr. Pavel Chekov : You *know* what she'll say.
-
Chekov : Oh, sir, it was Khan! We picked him up on Ceti Alpha Five... He put... creatures... in our bodies... to control our minds. He made us... say lies... do things. He thought he controlled us, but he did not. The Captain was strong.

[Terrell and Chekov have beamed down into a sandstorm]
Capt. Terrell : Chekov, are you *sure* these are the correct coordinates?
Chekov : Captain, this is the garden spot of Ceti Alpha Six!
-
Chekov : Khan.
Khan : [to Captain Terrell] I don't know you.
[turning to Chekov]
Khan : But you... I never forget a face. Mr... Chekov. Isn't it? I never thought to see your face again.
Capt. Terrell : Chekov, who is this man?
Chekov : A criminal, Captain. A product of late 20th-century genetic engineering.

Chekov : Ah, Dr. Marcus. Good. We're en route to you and should be there in three days.
Carol Marcus : En route? Why? We weren't expecting you for another three months. Has something happened?
Chekov : Nothing has happened. Ceti Alpha VI has checked out.
Carol Marcus : Then I-I... I don't understand why you're coming...
Chekov : We have received new orders. Upon our arrival at Regula-1, all materials of Project Genesis will be transferred to this ship for immediate testing on Ceti Alpha VI.
David Marcus : Who in the hell do they think they are?
Carol Marcus : [shushing him and the other scientists] Will you please get quiet? Commander Chekov, this is completely irregular.
Chekov : I have my orders.
David Marcus : Pin him down, Mother. Who gave the order?
Chekov : The order comes from... Admiral James T. Kirk.
-
Chekov : Starship log, stardate 8130.4. Log entry by first officer Pavel Chekov. Starship Reliant on orbital approach to Ceti Alpha VI in connection with Project Genesis. We are continuing our search for a lifeless planet to satisfy the requirement of a test site for the Genesis experiment. So far, no success.
-
Carol Marcus : This is completely improper, Commander Chekov. I have no intention of allowing Reliant or any other unauthorized personnel access to our work or materials.
Chekov : I'm sorry that you feel that way, Doctor. Admiral Kirk's orders are confirmed. Please prepare to deliver Genesis to us upon our arrival. Reliant out.
Khan : Well done, Commander.
Chekov : You realize, sir, they will attempt to contact Admiral Kirk and confirm the order.
