I always thought the exact phrase "Revenge is a dish best served cold" was a quote from The Godfather, but it's actually a "Klingon proverb" (according to Khan) from Star Trek II "The Wrath of Khan"!

The phrase has been around in different similar shapes since maybe the 18th century, originally probably from a French quote, but the Star Trek phrasing is the one I hear the most, and probably nobody who uses it knows that's where it's from!

The Godfather has it as "Revenge is a dish that tastes best when it is cold".

McCoy: "Are you out of your Vulcan mind? No human can tolerate the radiation that's in there"

Spock: "As you are so fond of observing, Doctor, I am not human"

McCoy: "You're not going in there"

Spock: "I'm sorry, Doctor. I have no time to discuss this logically. Remember"

Spock: "They are reducing speed"

Kirk: "Uhura, patch me in"

Uhura: "Aye, sir. You're on, Admiral"

Kirk: "This is Admiral Kirk. We tried it once your way, Khan. Are you game for a rematch? Khan, I'm laughing at the superior intellect"

Khan: "Full impulse power"

Joachim: "No, sir. You have Genesis. You can have whatever you..."

Khan: "Full power! Damn you!"

Kirk: "I'll say this for him, he's consistent"

MUSIKHAAAAAAN: El dramaturgo y músico Brent Black, conocido en redes sociales como brentalfloss, escribió y estrena un musical parodia basado en #StarTrekTheWrathOfKhan en el Off-Broadway de New York City. Se llama, claro "Khan!!! The Musical!".

Dentro de la obra, Data reproduce la historia de Kirk y Khan en el holodeck, en una obra musical que incluye baile tap vulcano y pollos espaciales mutantes (?), además de al hijo de Kirk, David, esta vez interpretado por un imitador de William Shatner.

Co-escrito por Alina Morgan y dirigido por John Lampe, se estrena el 4/5 en el Players Theatre, y dura hasta el 4/6, con entradas de entre 30 y 70 dólares.

Spock: "Ship out of danger?"

Kirk: "Yes"

Spock: "Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh..."

Kirk: "The needs of the few"

Spock: "Or the one"

Spock: "I have have been, and always shall be, your friend. Live long and prosper"

McCoy: "No! You'll flood the whole compartment"

Kirk: "He'll die"

Scotty: "Sir, he's dead already"

McCoy: 'It's too late"

Kirk: "Engine Room. Well done, Scotty"

McCoy: "Jim, I think you'd better get down here"

Kirk: "Bones?"

McCoy: "Better hurry"

Kirk: "Time"

Saavik: "3 minutes, 30 seconds"

Kirk: "Distance from Reliant?"

Chekov: "4,000 kilometers"

Sulu: "We're not gonna make it, are we"

....like to lose"

Saavik: "Then you never faced the that situation, faced death?"

Kirk: "I don't believe in the no-win scenario. Kirk to Spock. It's two hours. Are you ready?"

Spock: "Right on schedule, Admiral. Just give us your coordinates and we'll beam you aboard"

Kirk: "Alright. I don't like to lose"

A thread....

McCoy: "Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario"

Saavik: "How?"

Kirk: "I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship"

Saavik: "What?"

David: "He cheated"

Kirk: "I changed the conditions of the test. I got a commendation for original thinking. I don't....

Spock: "At least we know he doesn't have Genesis"

Kirk: "Keep nodding as though I'm still giving orders. Mr. Saavik, punch up the data charts of Reliant's command console"

Saavik: "Reliant's command?"

Kirk: "Hurry!"

Khan: "45 seconds"

Spock: "The prefix code?"

Kirk: "That's all we've got"

Joachim: "They still haven't raised their shields"

Khan: "Raise ours"

Spock: "Their shields are going up"

Khan: "Lock phasers on target"

Joachim: "Locking phasers on target"

Spock: "They're locking phasers"

Kirk: "Raise shields!"

Khan: "Fire!"

Joachim: "They're requesting communications, sir"

Khan: "Let them eat static"

Joachim: "They're still running with shields down"

Khan: "Of course. We are one big happy fleet. Ah, Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us 'Revenge is a dish that is best served cold?'. It is very cold in space"

McCoy: "According to myth, the Earth was created in six days. Now, watch out. Here comes Genesis. We'll do it for you in six minutes"

Spock: "Really, Dr. McCoy, you must learn to govern your passions. They will be your undoing. Logic suggests..."

McCoy: "Logic? My God, the man's talking about logic. We're talking about universal Armageddon. You green-blooded, inhuman..."

McCoy: "What if this thing were used where life already exists?"

Spock: "It would destroy such life in favor of its new matrix"
McCoy: "Its new matrix? Do you have any idea what you're saying?"

Spock: "I was not attempting to evaluate its moral implications, Doctor. As a matter of cosmic history, it has always been easier to destroy than to create"

McCoy: "Not anymore! Now we can do both at the same time"

Joachim: "We are free. We have a ship and the means to go where we will. We have escaped permanent exile on Ceti Alpha V. You have proved your superior intellect and defeated the plans of Admiral Kirk. You do not need to defeat him again"

Khan: "He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him. I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up"

#StarTrek #StarTrekTOS #StarTrekII #StarTrekTWoK #StarTrekTheWrathOfKhan

Spock: "Jim, you proceed from a false assumption. I'm a Vulcan. I have no ego to bruise"

Kirk: "You're about to remind me that logic alone dictates your actions?"

Spock: "I would not remind you of that which you know so well. If I may be so bold, it was a mistake for you to accept promotion. Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny. Anything else is a waste of material"

Uhura on Intercom: "Admiral Kirk?"

Kirk: "Kirk here"

Uhura on Intercom: "I have an urgent comm link from Space Lab Regula I for you, sir. Dr. Carol Marcus"

Kirk: "I'll take it in my quarters, Uhura"

Uhura on Intercom: "Aye, sir"

McCoy: "It never rains, but it pours"

Kirk: "As a physician, you of all people should appreciate the dangers of re-opening old wounds"

Man on Radio: "Enterprise to Admiral Kirk's shuttle. You're cleared for docking. Approach portside torpedo bay"

Sulu: "Enterprise, this is Admiral Kirk's party on final approach.

Woman on Radio: "Enterprise welcomes you. Prepare for docking"

Kirk: "I hate inspections"

Sulu: "I'm delighted. Any chance to go aboard the Enterprise"

Terrell: "What do you want with us? Sir, I demand to be..."

Khan: "You are in a position to demand nothing, sir. I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant nothing. What you see is all that remains of the ship's company and crew of the Botany Bay, marooned here 15 years ago by Captain James T. Kirk"

Khan: "Save your strength, Captain. These people have sworn to live and die at my command 200 years before you were born"

Kirk: "By the way, thank you for this"

Spock: "I know of your fondness for antiques"

Kirk: "'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...'. Message, Spock?"

Spock: "None that I'm conscious of. Except, of course, happy birthday. Surely the best of times"
