Quotes3

  • Claudius Marcus: So, this is a Vulcan. Interesting. From what I have heard I wish I had fifty of you for the arena.
  • Merik: This other is your ship's surgeon?
  • Capt. Kirk: McCoy.
  • Merik: It's a pity we can't let him loose in our hospitals. Our level of medicine would improve immeasurably, I'm sure.
  • Merik: The Romans have always been the strongest; and they've had practice for over two thousand years in enslaving men, using them, killing them.
  • Claudius Marcus: Quite true, Captain Kirk. The games have always strengthened us. Death becomes a familiar pattern. We don't fear it as you do.
  • Merik: This is not an Academy training test. This is for real. They're taking you to die.
