Favourite TOS quotes.

[Dave]

Maria8475 has started these threads all over, but she forgot here.

McCOY: "By Golly, Jim, I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day." 'Devil in the Dark'

McCoy: "He's dead, Jim" 'The Enemy Within' concerning the state of the dogs health.

SCOTTY: "And if my mother had wheels, she'd be a waggon" about the Excelsior in 'ST:III Search for Spock'

KHAN: "Revenge is a dish best served cold" 'ST:II Wrath of Khan.

NO ONE "Beam me up, Scotty"-- no one ever says this-- they say "Scotty, two to beam up" or "Ready to beam up" or lots of similar things, but never actually that phrase.

KIRK: "I was born in Iowa, I just work in outer space."
'ST:IV The Voyage Home.

KIRK to PICARD: "I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was still in diapers." & "I suppose the situation is critical and the odds are against us?" 'ST:VII Generations'

KIRK: "Checkov. I know you. You started it didn't you." 'Trouble with Tribbles'

SCOTTY: " Before they went to warp I transported the whole kit and caboodle to their engine room where they'll be no tribble at all." 'Trouble with Tribbles'

Come on people, I know it only went three seasons, but there are some classic lines:

Who could forget the astounding literary heritage we have been left, with quotes like: "Brain and brain, what is brain?" 'Spocks' Brain'.

Okay I found one of my Dad’s old ST books. It contains the whole script for the episode “The Trouble with Tribblesâ€. That seemed like a good place to get a few
quotes.

Chekov: One parsec, sir. Close enough to smell thm.
Spock: That is not logical, Ensign. Odors can not travel through the vacuum of space.
Chekov: I was making a little joke, sir.
Spock: It was extremely little, Ensign.

Kirk (to Baris and Darvin): I have never questioned either the orders or the intelligence of any representative of the Federation.......until now.

Scotty: When are you going to get off your milk diet, lad?
Chekov: This is Vodka.
Scotty: Where I come from, that’s soda pop. *indicates own glass* Now this is a drink for a man.
Chekov: Scotch? A little old lady from Leningrad invented it.

Korax: We like the Enterprise - we really do.....that sagging old rust bucket is designed like a garbage scow! Half the quadrant knows it - that’s why they’re learning to speak Klingonese!
Scotty: Laddy, don’t you think you should rephrase that?
Korax: You’re right - I should....I didn’t mean that the Enterprise should be hauling garbage.....I meant it should be hauled away AS garbage.

Scotty: Well Captain, the Klingons called you a .....tin-plated, overbearing, swaggering dictator with delusions of Godhood.
Kirk: Was that all?
Scotty: No sir. They also compared you to a Denebian Slime Devil.....
Kirk: I see.
Scotty: And then they said you were a -
Kirk: I get the picture, Mr. Scott.
Scotty: Yes sir.
Kirk: And after they said all this that’s when you started the fight....?
Scotty: No sir.
Kirk: No......?
Scotty: No sir, I didn’t. You told us to avoid trouble.
Kirk: Oh.
Scotty: And I didn’t see that it was worth fightin’ about. After all, we’re big enough
to take a few insults...aren’t we?
Kirk: *Nods slowly* Mr. Scott, just what was it that they said that made the fight
break out?
Scotty: They called the Enterprise a garbage scow, sir.
Kirk: I see and that’s when you hit the Kligon?
Scotty: Yes sir.
Kirk: You hit the Klingon because he insulted the Enterprise.....? Not because he....?
Scotty: Well Captain - this was a matter of pride!

McCoy: Spock, I don’t know much about Tribbles, yet, but I’ve found out one thing about them. I like them better than I do you.
Spock: They do, indeed, have at least one redeeming factor. *pointed, at McCoy* They do not talk to much.

McCoy: The nearest I can figure out is that they’re born pregnant. It seems to be a
great time-saver.....
Kirk: really?
McCoy: From all I can find out, they seem to be bi-sexual, reproducing at will. And they have a lot of will.

Kirk: I regard the project as extremely important, Mr. Baris. It is you I regard lightly.

Ohh as a side note: did you know that originally the Tribbles were going to be called Fuzzies an the episode was to be “A Fuzzy thing called o me.†Sounded like a good idea to me!!

UHURA: Sorry, neither. ' The Naked Time'

BAILEY (After Sulu corrects him that there is less than 8 minutes left.): OH, he's starting a countdown. 'The Corbomite Maneuver'

PIKE (to the head Talosian): You want me to test my theory out on your head? 'The Menagerie pt2'/ 'The Cage'

SPOCK (to Trelane): I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose. 'The Squire of Gothos'

SPOCK (after McCoy accuses him of being the most cold-blooded person he has ever met) Why thank you, Doctor. 'Court-Martial'

McCOY (to Khan who has a knife at his throat): It would be most effective if would cut the carotid artery just under the left ear 'Space Seed'

[Dave]

Second Season

PALAMAS (after he chooses Apollo): Well I'm sure that is very flattering but I must get on with my work. 'Who mourns for Adonais'

SPOCK (after asked if he thought kirk was capable of the flawless logic required to defeat Nomad): No, Sir. 'The Changeling'

SPOCK (comment on the witches curse): Very bad poetry, Sir. 'Catspaw'

KIRK (after competency hearing): Maybe you'd like to relieve Dr. McCoy 'The deadly years'

SCOTTY: But I don't suppose there would be any harm in looking over diagrams of it. 'Return to Tomorrow.

KIRK (explaining his fight): I'm stimulating him. 'By any other name'

Third Season

KANG: For the present, only a fool fights in a burning house. 'Day of the Dove'

KIRK: I guess we weren't sufficiently entertaining. 'Plato's Stepchildren.

SCOTT: It may not be scientific, but if Mr. Spock thinks it happens, then it must be logical. 'Turnabout Intruder'

 

[Maria8475]

okay this thread seems a little dead but i'm not very good at funerals so I decided to revive it instead.

THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE

McCoy: I'm a doctor, not a mechanic.

Kirk: Scotty, you've earned your pay for the week.

okay not much i guess it was a bad ep for good quotes. I'll try next weeks.

 

[Neo]

i loved the one were mc coy say he can cure a rainy day...

 

[Dave]

I'm a doctor, not a....

"I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer." - 'The Devil in the Dark'.

"Look, I'm a doctor, not an escalator." - 'Friday's Child'.

"I'm not a magician, Spock, just an old country doctor." - 'The Deadly Years'.

"I'm a doctor, not an scientist or a physicist"- 'Metamorphosis'.

"I'm a doctor, not a mechanic." - 'The Doomsday Machine' and again in 'The Empath'.

"I'm a doctor, not a coal miner." - 'The Empath'.

"I'm a surgeon, not a psychiatrist." - 'The City on the Edge of Forever' (although he is a specialist in space psychology, according to 'Court Martial'.)

"I'm not a flesh-peddler." - 'Return to Tomorrow'.

"What am I, a doctor or a moon-shuttle conductor?" - ' The Corbomite Maneuver'.

 

[Maria8475]
