Quotes14

  • [Ayelborne and Claymare have interfered in the quarrel between Kirk and Kor]
  • Captain James T. Kirk: You have no right to dictate to our Federation...
  • Kor: Or our Empire!
  • Captain James T. Kirk: ...how to handle their interstellar relations! We have the right...
  • Ayelborne: To wage war, Captain? To kill millions of innocent people? To destroy life on a planetary scale? Is that what you're defending?
  • Ayelborne: Oh, eventually, you will have peace; but only after millions of people have died. It is true that in the future, you and the Klingons will become fast friends. You will work together.
  • Kor: Never!
  • Captain James T. Kirk: Well, Commander, I guess that takes care of the war. Obviously, the Organians aren't going to let us fight.
  • Kor: A shame, Captain. It would have been glorious.
  • Kor: Smile and smile... I don't trust men who smile too much.
  • [Kirk is posing as an Organian]
  • Kor: Where is your smile?
  • Captain James T. Kirk: My what?
  • Kor: The stupid, idiotic smile everyone else seems to be wearing.
  • Kor: Do you also welcome me?
  • Captain James T. Kirk: You're here; there's nothing I can do about it.
  • Kor: [smiles] Good, honest hatred. Very refreshing.
  • Kor: You have done well to get this far through my guards.
  • Mr. Spock: I believe you'll find that several of them are no longer in perfect operating condition.
  • Kor: [talking about Mr. Spock] He will be examined. If he is lying, he will die. If he is telling the truth... he will find that business has taken a turn for the worse.
  • Captain James T. Kirk: [to Ayelborne] I am used to the idea of dying. But I have no desire to die for the likes of you.
  • Kor: I don't blame you, Captain.
  • Kor: You speak of courage. Obviously you do not know the difference between courage and foolhardiness. Always it is the brave ones who die. The soldiers. I hope you will continue to savor the sweetness of your life. You disgust me!
  • Kor: We are similar as a species. Here we are on a planet of sheep, two tigers, predators, hunters... killers. And it is precisely that which makes us great. And there is a universe to be taken.
  • Captain James T. Kirk: It's a very large universe, Commander, full of people who don't like the Klingons.
  • Kor: Excellent. Then it shall be a matter of testing each other's wills, and power. Survival must be earned, Captain.
  • Kor: Tell me about the dispersal of your Starfleet.
  • Captain James T. Kirk: [smiles] Go climb a tree.
  • Kor: Hm. I can get what I want through our mind scanner, but... there would be very little of your mind left, Captain. I have no desire to see you become a vegetable.
  • Kor: [to Kirk, who is posing as Baroner, an Organian] You do not like to be pushed. Very good. You may be a man I can deal with, Baroner.
  • Kor: Bad enough to be a military governor, but to govern a population of sheep? Very well, Lieutenant. Round up 200 more.
  • Lieutenant: Yes, sir.
  • Kor: Fools! Will I have to kill 'em all?
