McCoy quotes from Star Trek: The Animated Series

McCoy

Did I ever tell you about the time I saved Captain Kirk's life? Or Spock's? And my dear friend Scotty. And that pretty little Lt. Uhura. I've saved about everybody on this here ship. If the Enterprise had a heart, I'd save you, too. Now let's talk about your heart, my dear.

It's beautiful. What kind of people could have built it? To touch even a starship with grace and beauty?

Kirk

A civilization that advanced 300 million years ago before life even emerged on Earth.

McCoy

Barely an instant in eternity, Jim.

Spock

The brain could be completely destroyed if we convert the entire ship to energy aimed at the brain's cortex and expend the energy in one mortal strike.

McCoy

That sounds like you're telling us to blow up the ship.

Spock

I believe that is what I just said, Doctor.

Spock

The form is humanoid. There are many internal differences. Their bodies appear to function on an unusual psychokinesis level.

McCoy

First time I ever admired a body function.

This isn't easy, you know. Holding us together like this, it's not even natural.

McCoy

Being in one place is very natural where we come from.

Spock

I find this all quite absorbing, Doctor.

McCoy

Probably because you're not very natural to begin with, Spock.

Spock

Lucien, you alone of all those here do not seem to fear or hate humans. Why?

They are like me. With questions to be answered, with minds that range outwards, boundless. But every Megan is always alone in his sphere of knowledge. Humans are always together. They share. That is why I adopted your ship when I saw it arrive.

McCoy

You think Lucien really was the demon some men call Lucifer?

McCoy

What about you, Spock? What does your logic tell you?

Spock

The captain states the case emotionally, of course, but correctly. I would be of little value to this ship if I am confined to a tank in Sickbay.

Kirk

The captain of a ship, no matter his rank, must follow the book.

Spock

A capability, I'm afraid, out of the reach of most humans.

McCoy

You Vulcans are the most impossible, unimaginative...

Kirk

Bones, that's not helping the situation.

McCoy

What's the use of being a doctor anyway? We're only as good as our drugs and technology make us. Underneath all the tricks, I might as well be practicing in the Middle Ages.

Kirk

If you really believed that, Bones, you wouldn't still be a doctor after 25 years.

Turn off those food synthesizers! We're knee-deep in deserts and they're still pouring out!

McCoy

Shall we tell them how they can reverse the effects of the field, Jim?

Kirk

Yes. But later. Let's not spoil their fun just yet.
