David's Quotes

  1. "I always get nervous when talking to Starfleet. We are dealing with something that could be perverted into a dreadful weapon. You remember that boy scout you use to spend time with." -- David Marcus, "David, Jim Kirk was many things, but he was never a boy scout." -- Carol Marcus, TWOK
  2. "Saavik was right. You never have faced death." -- David Marcus, "No...not like this. I've cheated death, tricked my way out of death, and then patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing." -- Kirk, "You knew enough to tell Saavik, that the way we face death is at least as important as the way we face life." -- David Marcus "Just words..." -- Kirk, "But good words. I was wrong about you, and I'm sorry." -- David Marcus, "Is that what you came to say?" -- Kirk, "Mainly. And that I'm proud, very proud, to be your son." -- David Marcus, TWOK
  3. "It's time for total truth between us. (pause) This planet is not what you had expected or hope for." -- Saavik, "Not exactly." -- David Marcus, "Why?" -- Saavik, "I used protomatter in the Genesis matrix." -- David Marcus, "Protomatter. An unstable substance that every ethical scientist in the galaxy has denounced as highly volatile, dangerously unpredictable." -- Saavik, "But it was the only way to solve certain problems." -- David Marcus, "So like your Father, you changed the rules." -- Saavik, "If I hadn't, it might have taken years, or never." -- David Marcus, "How many people have paid the price for your impatience? How many have died? How much damage have you done? And what is yet to come?" -- Saavik "They're coming, I'll go." -- Saavik, "NO! I'll do it. Give me your phaser." -- David Marcus, TSFS
  4. "Knew you'd come." -- David Marcus, "What went wrong." -- Kirk, "I did." -- David Marcus, "I don't understand." -- Kirk, "I'm sorry, sir. Just don't surrender. Genesis doesn't work. I can't believe they'd kill us for it." -- David Marcus, "Admiral, I meant what I said. And now to prove my intentions, I will kill one of the prisoners." -- Kruge, "Wait. Give me a minute to..." -- Kirk, (speaking klingonee to the klingons on the planet -- translated) "Kill one of them. I don't care which." -- Kruge (wispering) "Spock? David? Saavik?" -- Kirk, "Admiral, David is dead." -- Saavik, (barely audible) "You Klingon Ba$tard, you've just killed my son." -- Kirk, TSFS
