Admiral Richard Barnett: "This is Commander Spock. He is one of our most distinguished graduates. He's programmed the Kobayashi Maru exam for the last four years. Commander?"
Spock: "Cadet Kirk, you somehow managed to install and activate a subroutine in the programming code, thereby changing the conditions of the test."
James T. Kirk: "Your point being?"
Admiral Richard Barnett: "In academic vernacular, you cheated."

"Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 2258.42. We have had no word from Captain Pike. I've therefore classified him a hostage of the war criminal known as Nero. Nero, who has destroyed my home planet and most of its six billion inhabitants. While the essence of our culture has been saved in the elders who now reside upon this ship, I estimate no more than 10,000 have survived. I am now a member of an endangered species."

"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Smith: "If you give me what I want, I'll leave your daughter in peace."
Litvenko: "If I give you what you want, there will be no peace."

John Tuld: "So, what you're telling me, is that the music is about to stop, and we're going to be left holding the biggest bag of odorous excrement ever assembled in the history of capitalism."
Peter Sullivan: "Sir, I not sure that I would put it that way, but let me clarify using your analogy. What this model shows is the music, so to speak, just slowing. If the music were to stop, as you put it, then this model wouldn't even be close to that scenario. It would be considerably worse."
John Tuld: "Let me tell you something, Mr. Sullivan. Do you care to know why I'm in this chair with you all? I mean, why I earn the big bucks."
Peter Sullivan: "Yes."
John Tuld: "I'm here for one reason and one reason alone. I'm here to guess what the music might do a week, a month, a year from now. That's it. Nothing more. And standing here tonight, I'm afraid that I don't hear ... 'a' ... thing. Just... silence. "

"Look at these people. Wandering around with absolutely no idea what's about to happen."

Peter Sullivan: "Are you sure it's the only or right thing to do?"
Sam Rogers: "For who?"
Peter Sullivan: "I'm not sure."
Sam Rogers: "Neither am I."

Kirk: "We got no ship, no crew, how're going to get out of this one?"
Spock: "We will find hope in the impossible."
