Memorable quotes for
"Star Trek" Who Mourns for Adonais? (1967)


[to the self-professed "god" Apollo]
Capt. Kirk: We're tired of your phony fireworks.

Capt. Kirk: Alright, we're here at your request. Now would you mind telling us what you want without all the Olympian generalities?

Apollo: I am Apollo!
Ensign Pavel Chekov: [sarcastically] And I am the Czar of all the Russias!
Capt. Kirk: Mister Chekov!
Ensign Pavel Chekov: I sorry, Captain. I never met a god before.
Capt. Kirk: And you haven't yet.

Capt. Kirk: [Captain's log] When a man of Scotty's years falls in love, the loneliness of his life is suddenly revealed to him. His whole heart once throbbed only to the ship's engines.

[Scotty is in love with a female scientist]
Chekov: I didn't think Mr Scott would go for the brainy type.
Sulu: I don't think he's even noticed she has a brain.

Apollo: I would have cherished you, cared for you. I would have loved you as a father loves his children. Did I ask so much?
Capt. Kirk: We've outgrown you. You asked for something we can no longer give.

[last lines]
Dr. McCoy: I wish we hadn't had to do this.
Capt. Kirk: So do I. They gave us so much - the Greek civilization, much of our culture and philosophy came from the worship of those beings. In a way, they began the Golden Age. Would it have hurt us, I wonder, just to have gathered a few laurel leaves?
