- Captain James T. Kirk: [to the alien entity] Get off my ship. You're a dead duck here, you're powerless. We know about you, and we don't want to play. Maybe... maybe there're others like you around, maybe you've caused a lot of suffering, a lot of history; but that's all over. We'll be on guard now, we'll be ready for you, so ship out! Come on, haul it!
- Dr. McCoy: Yeah, out already!
- Kang: Out! We need no urging to hate Humans. But for the present, only a fool fights in a burning house. Out!
- Captain James T. Kirk: Go to the devil.
- Kang: We have no devil, Kirk. But we understand the habits of yours.
- Kang: For three years the Federation and the Klingon Empire have been at peace. A treaty we have honored to the letter.
- Captain James T. Kirk: We took no action against your ship, Kang.
- Kang: Were the screams of my crew imaginary? What were your orders, Kirk? To start a war? You've succeeded! To test a new weapon? We shall be happy to examine it.
- Captain James T. Kirk: There was a Federation colony on this planet. It was destroyed!
- Kang: By what? No bodies, no ruins. A colony of the invisible?
- Captain James T. Kirk: Yes, a test of a new Klingon weapon leaving no traces. Federation ships don't specialize in sneak attacks.
- Captain James T. Kirk: YOU received a distress call? WE received a distress call!
- Kang: I don't propose to spend the rest of my life on this ball of dust arguing your fantasies! The Enterprise is MINE!
- Kang: Kirk, my ship is disabled. I claim yours. You are now prisoners of the Klingon Empire against which you have committed a wanton act of war!
- Kang: With your death, we win!
- Captain James T. Kirk: Nobody wins. Have any more of your men died? We can't be killed! There's an alien aboard. It wants us alive.
- Kang: Then, no doubt, you will reassemble after I have hacked you to bits!
- Kang: I have captured your Engineering section, and now control the ship's power and life support systems. I have deprived all areas except our own. You will die of suffocation in the icy cold of space.
