Marcus
- Marcus: You better stop and think about what you're doing, Kirk. You better think about what you did on Kronos. You made an incursion onto an enemy planet! You killed a Klingon patrol! Even if you got away without a trace, war is coming! And who's gonna lead us, YOU? If I'm not in charge, our entire way of life is decimated! So you want me off this ship, you better kill me!
- [from trailer]
- [In response to the Enterprise pursuing Khan]
- Marcus: Starfleet isn't about vendetta... KIRK!
- James T. Kirk: [glowers] Well... maybe it SHOULD... Sir!
- Marcus: For reasons unknown, John Harrison has just declared a one-man war against Starfleet. And under no circumstances are we to allow this man to escape Federation space. You here tonight represent the senior command of all the vessels in the region. And in the name of those we lost, you will run this bastard down!
- James T. Kirk: What's in the bag?
- Christopher Pike: James, not now.
- James T. Kirk: It doesn't seem odd to you that he'd target an archive? It's like bombing a library.
- Marcus: Chris? Everything okay there?
- Christopher Pike: Yes, sir. Mr. Kirk is just acclimating to his new position as first officer.
- Marcus: You got something to say, Kirk, say it. Tomorrow's too late.
- James T. Kirk: I'm fine, sir. My apologies.
- Marcus: Spit it out, son. Don't be shy.
- James T. Kirk: I... why the archive? All that information is-is public record. And if he really wanted to damage Starfleet, this could just be the beginning.
- Marcus: The beginning of what, Mr. Kirk?
- James T. Kirk: Sir, in the event of an attack, protocol mandates that senior command gather captains and first officers at Starfleet HQ, right here... in this room.
- Spock: It is curious Harrison would commandeer a jumpship without warp capabilities...
- [with a loud rumble, a ship appears outside]
- James T. Kirk: [realizing it's an attack] Clear the room!
