"Space Seed" Line-by-Line!

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: And how you managed to keep it out of the history books.

 

[Brian]

KHAN: Adventure, Captain. Adventure. There was little else left on Earth.

 

[ClayinCA]

SPOCK: There was the war to end tyranny. Many considered that a noble effort.

 

[Alienesse]

KHAN: Tyranny, sir? Or an attempt to unify humanity?

 

[ClayinCA]

SPOCK: Unify, sir? Like a team of animals under one whip?

 

[Alienesse]

KHAN: I know something of those years. Remember, it was a time of great dreams, of great aspiration.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Under dozens of petty dictatorships.

 

[Alienesse]

KHAN: One man would have ruled eventually. As Rome under Caesar. Think of its accomplishments.

 

[ClayinCA]

SPOCK: Then your sympathies were with--

 

[Alienesse]

KHAN: You are an excellent tactician, Captain. You let your second in command attack while you sit and watch for weakness.

 

[ClayinCA]

KIRK: You have a tendency to express ideas in military terms, Mister Khan. This is a social occasion.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KHAN: It has been said that social occasions are only warfare concealed. Many prefer it more honest, more open.

 

[ClayinCA]

KIRK: You fled. Why? Were you afraid?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KHAN: I've never been afraid.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: But you left at the very time mankind needed courage.

 

[Alienesse]

KHAN: We offered the world order!

 

[ClayinCA]

KIRK: We?

 

[Alienesse]

KHAN: Excellent. Excellent. But if you will excuse me, gentlemen and ladies, I grow fatigued again. With your permission, Captain, I will return to my quarters.

(Kirk stands, and Khan leaves.)

 

[Brian]

(Khan's Quarters)

MARLA: I wanted to apologize. They had no right to treat you that way.

 

[ClayinCA]

KHAN: Quite understandable, since I'm something of a mystery to them.
