Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan1982
Lt Saavik:
[to Kirk] On the test, sir. Will you tell me what you did? I would really like to know.
Dr Leonard McCoy:
Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Star Fleet cadet who ever beat the "No-Win" scenario.
Saavik:
How?
James Kirk:
I reprogrammed the simulation so that it was possible to save the ship.
Saavik:
What?!
David:
[chuckles] He cheated!
Kirk:
Changed the conditions of the test . . . got a commendation for original thinking . . . I don't like to lose.
Saavik:
Then you've never faced that situation . . . faced death.
Kirk:
I don't believe in a "no-win" scenario. [pulls out his communicator] Kirk to Spock.
Spock:
[on communicator] Spock here, Admiral.
Kirk:
Captain Spock, it's two hours. Are you ready?
Spock:
[on communicator] Right on schedule, Admiral. Just give us your co-ordinates and we'll beam you aboard.
Kirk:
All right. [to a completely dumbfounded Saavik] I don't like to lose. [bites an apple]
Saavik:
[still arguing WHILE beaming aboard the Enterprise] But the damage report! We were immobilized! Captain Spock said it would be two days!
Kirk:
Come, come, Lieutenant. You of all people go by the book!
Saavik:
By the book?
Kirk:
By the book! Regulation Forty-Six A: "If transmissions are being monitored during battle --"
Saavik:
: [astonished] "-- no uncoded messages on an open channel!" [looking at Spock] You lied!
Spock:
I exaggerated.
Kirk:
Hours instead of days; now we have minutes instead of hours!
