If someone could have a go at the below. (dialogue only)
I'm also interested in equivilent for 'thee' and also are there any tricks for making a speech sound sort of psuedo Shakespearean like this.

KHAN: No... Kirk. The game's not over.

[As Uhura's voice continues O.S., Khan pulls himself
into a chair at the console, one of his hands useless
at his side].

KHAN: (continuing) To the last I will grapple with thee!

[ON SCREEN, Enterprise, intermittent image, backs away.
Khan smiles triumphantly through his pain. An elec-
tronic power SOUND has been building].

KHAN: No... You can't get away... From hell's heart I stab at thee...
(amid the pain)
For hate's sake... I spit my last breath at thee!

[Khan topples forward, dead. The WHINE continues to
build chillingly].

Yo diría, (tu frase es correctasmile

No ...Kirk. ¡el juego aún no ha terminado!

Lo cambia un poco, pero me suena mejor.

In some countries "vos" is used and sounds sort of more elegant. but in Spain it would sound unusual.

thee is archaic English & the Spanish equivalent is te.
tú is thou
But now te & tú are used as the intimate form of address

thine is tuyo

Thanks Heidita when I googled your words it seems that they were the ones used in the Spanish version of the film ...so just using 'tú' for 'thee' then?

I think I remember hearing that in 'El Labrinto del Fauno' (Pan's Labyrinth) there was a form of vosotros used but to singular people ...does anyone know what this is supposed to represent'

This is a famous sentence ...

Desde el corazón del infierno? ¡Yo te apuñalo! Con todo mi odio? ¡Te escupo? mi ultimo aliento!
