• Bela Oxmyx : The most co-operative man in this world is a dead man. And if you don't keep your mouth shut, you're gonna be co-operatin'.

• Dr. McCoy : We're trying to help you, Oxmyx.

  Bela Oxmyx : Nobody helps nobody but himself.

  Spock : Sir, you are employing a double negative.

• Bela Oxmyx : You Feds must have made a lot of improvements since that other ship came here. You probably got all kinds of fancy heaters up there. So here's the deal: You give me all the heaters I need, enough tools so I can knock off all those punks all at once. Then I'll take over, and all you have to do is deal with me.

  Capt. Kirk : Now let me get this straight. You want us to supply you with arms and assistance so you can carry out an aggression against your neighbors?

  Bela Oxmyx : What aggression? I gotta make some hits. I want you to help me hit 'em. That's all.

• Spock : Mr. Oxmyx, this is Mr. Spock.

  Bela Oxmyx : [using a stolen communicator]  Huh? Hey, how'd you get back up there?

  Spock : Irrelevant, since we are here.

  Bela Oxmyx : Huh, yeah. Hey, you better come on back down. Krako's put the bag on your captain.

  Spock : Why would he put a bag on our captain?

  Bela Oxmyx : Kidnapped him, ya dope. He'll scrag him, too.

• Bela Oxmyx : Okay. A syndicate makes sense to me. I'm a peaceful man at heart, but I'm sick and tired of all these hits. I hit Krako, Krako hits Tepo, Tepo hits me. There's too many bosses. We can't get anything done.
