Quotes 

• Korob : You are the, uh, different one, Mr. Spock. You do not think like the others. There're no colors to your patterns of logic, there's only black and white. You see all this around you and... yet you do not believe.

  Dr. McCoy : He doesn't know about trick-or-treat.

  Korob : I do not understand that reference. Therefore it also is of no importance.

• Dr. McCoy : You kept Scott and Sulu as catspaws to lure us down here. How'd you know we'd come?

  Korob : Oh, we didn't have to know. They knew.

• Dr. McCoy : [examining Crewman Jackson]  The man is dead.

  Korob : [voice, through Jackson's open mouth]  Captain Kirk, can you... hear me? There is a curse on your ship. Leave this place, or you will all... die.

• Korob : Where did your race get this ridiculous predilection for resistance, hm? You examine any object, you, you question everything. Is it not enough to accept what is?

• Korob : You are most, um... unpredictable. Hm. Well, perhaps I have made a, a small mistake. Nevertheless, you have passed the tests.

  Dr. McCoy : Tests?

  Korob : Yes. Our analysis of you may have been in some small way in error; but you were warned to stay away, and yet you came to save your comrades. That proves loyalty. Your bravery was tested and you did not frighten. And despite my failure with these bright baubles, I perceive that you cannot be bribed. In many ways you are quite admirable.

• Korob : This is not ended, Sylvia.

  Sylvia : But it may end soon... *old man.*

• Korob : I have the power!

  Sylvia : But you're afraid to use it...

• Sylvia : I would advise you to cooperate, Captain. Forcible extraction of the information we wish from you is not complicated, but it is extremely painful. And it has a certain... "draining" effect.

  Captain James T. Kirk : We have nothing to discuss.

  Korob : Take them to their cell.
