Saavik
- 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?
- 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.
- 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
