Thanks!
I couldn't search the entire text. :)
Maybe Roddenberry adapted it then? All I know is when the camera pans across the cabin where Khan lives, there's a dusty copy of Moby Dick there. :)

Excerpt copied from the original script:
KHAN'S QUARTERS19
on its side in the sand: the walls are not the floor, etc. All in crookedness - like its owner. On the floor, smiling at them (i.e., the wall) is a BABY.
Tentatively they come over to it, looking around -
20ANGLE - CHEKOV'S POV20 Lethal-looking odd swords on one wall, a bookshelf;
CAMERA PANS by 20th Century volumes; MOBY DICK, KING LEAR, THE HOLY BIBLE - and a seat belt dangling with the name on it - BOTANY BAY.

So it makes sense to me, that someone who cared about Moby Dick that much, and read it, might quote it when stalking Kirk. ;)
