Help
Looking for a "saying" from the next to the last original series movie.
There were 6 films. Star Trek 10 is due out next year. Rumor has it
Voyager movies will come out after that.
"The good of the many outweigh the good of one"
Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (my favorite of all the ST films)
Can some one remember it exactly?
The Good Of The Many Outweigh The Good Of The Few (or the one), but I have
to watch the film to be sure.
After completing the Kobayashi Maru drill with Kirstie Alley's Lt. Saavik
(Kirk tells her "Remember, Klingons don't take prisoners"), Admiral Kirk
meets Spock in the hallway. "Aren't you dead? he says to Spock. With a
slightly amused expression on his face, Spock gives Kirk his birthday
present. Carefully opening the antique leather bound Dickens tome of "A
Tale Of Two Cities" to the first page, Admiral Kirk says to Captain Spock,
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...message. Spock?"
"Surely none, Admiral, except for "Happy Birthday". Certainly, the best of
times."....
Not to mention all those great quotes from Khan Singh, as he flexes those
biceps...yes, that is Riccardo Mantalbans REAL chest and muscles, ladies.
Lots of wonderful classic Trek quotes in this film.
