| Lenore : | "You are like your ship. Powerful, and not human. There is no mercy in you." |
| Kirk : | "If he is Kodos, then I've shown him more mercy than he deserves." |

| Kirk : | "We've armed man with tools. Striving for greatness continues." | | to Kodos; in response to the latter's claim that modern life has dehumanized Mankind |
