  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 : We need no urging to hate Humans. But for the present, only a fool fights in a burning house.

• 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.

• Kang : When I take this ship, I'll have Kirk's head stuffed and hung on his cabin wall.

• 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 : What power is it that supports our battle yet starves our victory?

• 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!

• Chekov : Filthy Klingon murderers! You killed my brother, Pyotr. The Archanis IV research outpost. A hundred peaceful people massacred! Just like you did here. My brother - you killed my brother!

  Kang : And you volunteer to join him. That is loyalty.

• 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.
