Saavik Quotes:

  • [after allowing the simulated Enterprise to be destroyed]

    Saavik: Permission to speak freely, sir?

    Kirk: Granted.

    Saavik: I do not believe this was a fair test of my command abilities.

    Kirk: And why not?

    Saavik: Because... there was no way to win.

    Kirk: A no-win situation is a possibility every commander may face. Has that never occurred to you?

    Saavik: No, sir, it has not.

    Kirk: And how we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?

    Saavik: As I indicated, Admiral, that thought had not occurred to me.

    Kirk: Well, now you have something new to think about. Carry on.

  • Saavik: Admiral, may I ask you a question?

    Kirk: What's on your mind, Lieutenant?

    Saavik: The Kobayashi Maru, sir.

    Kirk: Are you asking me if we're playing out that scenario now?

    Saavik: On the test, sir... will you tell me what you did? I would really like to know.

    McCoy: Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario.

    Saavik: How?

    Kirk: I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship.

    Saavik: What?

    David Marcus: He cheated.

    Kirk: I changed the conditions of the test; got a commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose.

    Saavik: Then you never faced that situation... faced death.

    Kirk: I don't believe in the no-win scenario.

  • Saavik: [speaking to Spock in Vulcan] He's never what I expect, sir.

    Spock: What surprises you, Lieutenant?

    Saavik: He's so - human.

    Spock: Nobody's perfect, Saavik.

  • Saavik: You lied!

    Spock: I exaggerated.

    Kirk: Hours instead of days! Now we have minutes instead of hours!

  • [first lines]

    Saavik: Captain's log: Stardate 8130.3. Starship Enterprise on training mission to Gamma Hydra, section 14, coordinates 22-87-4. Approaching Neutral Zone; all systems normal and functioning.

    Sulu: Leaving section 14 for section 15.

    Saavik: Standby. Project parabolic course to avoid entering Neutral Zone.

    Sulu: Aye, captain.

  • Saavik: Trouble with the nebula, sir. All that static discharge and gas will cloud our visual display. Tactical won't function, and shields will be useless!

    Spock: Sauce for the goose, Mr Saavik - the odds will be even!

  • Saavik: Humor. It is a difficult concept. It is not logical.

    Kirk: We learn by doing.

  • Kirk: Time?

    Saavik: Three minutes, thirty seconds.

    Kirk: Distance from Reliant?

    Chekov: 4000 kilometers.

    Sulu: We're not going to make it, are we?

    [Kirk turns to look at David, who slowly shakes his head]

  • [after being surrounded by Klingons in a starship simulator]

    Saavik: Any suggestions, Admiral?

    Kirk: Prayer, Mr. Saavik. The Klingons don't take prisoners.

  • Kruge: I've come a long way for the power of Genesis, and what do I find? A weakling human, a Vulcan boy, and a woman!

    Saavik: My lord, we are survivors of a doomed expedition. This planet will destroy itself in hours. The Genesis experiment is a failure.

    Kruge: A failure? The most destructive force ever created? You will tell me the secret of the Genesis torpedo.

    Saavik: I have no knowledge.

    Kruge: Then I hope pain's something you enjoy.

  • McCoy: Rapid aging. All genetic functions highly accelerated.

    Kirk: What about his mind?

    McCoy: His mind is a void. It seems, Admiral, that I've got all his marbles.

    Kirk: Is there anything we can do?

    Saavik: Only one thing, sir. Get him off this planet. His aging is part of what's going on around us.

  • Saavik: [to David] How many have paid the price for your impatience? How many have died? How much damage have you done, and what is yet to come?
