Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan1982

David Marcus:
Lieutenant Saavik was right: You never have faced death.

Kirk:
No. Not like this. I haven't faced death. I've cheated death. I've tricked my way out of death and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing.

David Marcus:
You knew enough to tell Saavik that how we face death is at least as important as how we face life.

Kirk:
Just words.

David Marcus:
But good words. That's where ideas begin. Maybe you should listen to them. I was wrong about you. And I'm sorry.

Kirk:
Is that what you came here to say?

David Marcus:
Mainly. And also that I'm proud - very proud - to be your son.
