Captain James Tiberius Kirk: I poured myself a drink. Would you like it?
David Marcus: Lt. Saavik was right. You never have faced death.
Captain James Tiberius Kirk: No, not like this. I haven't faced death. I've cheated death, I tricked my way out of death and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing.

Captain James Tiberius Kirk: Just words.

Trivia: Early script drafts featured Khan gaining psychic powers with the ability to create illusions in the minds of others. One draft even replaced Khan entirely with an original villain who better suited such fantastical mental powers. By the time Nicholas Meyer wrote the shooting script, Khan was reinstated as the villain and the psychic angle was dropped.

Question: When Khan speaks to Kirk, he tells him that he wants revenge for the death of his wife. Who was Khan's wife?

Answer: Lt. Marla McGivers was the crew member.

Answer: This is a reference to the TV show episode that this movie is a distant sequel to. In that episode, one of Kirk's crew falls in love with Khan and helps him take over the ship. When Khan is exiled to the planet, she chooses to go with him. So it would be that after the catastrophic events of one of the planets in that system exploding and causing all sorts of damage to their new planet, she was killed there and Khan blames Kirk for it.
