Scotty Scott quotes from Star Trek: The Original Series

Kirk

Why was it so impossible to tell us [Garth and Kirk] apart?

Spock

It was not impossible, Captain. Our presence here is proof of that.

Kirk

Yes, and... congratulations. What took you so long?

Spock

The interval of uncertainly was actually fairly brief, Captain. It only seemed long to you. I was waiting for a victor in the hand-to-hand struggle, which I assumed would be Captain Garth. [Hastily explains] Because of your depleted condition. Failing a resolution to the struggle, I was forced to use other means to make my determination.

Kirk

I see. Mr. Spock, letting yourself be hit on the head—and I presume you let yourself be hit on the head—is not exactly a method King Solomon would have approved. [Spock opens his mouth to reply, stops in confusion] Mr. Scott, ready to beam up.

Scotty

Aye, aye, sir.

Spock

Mr. Scott, you have accomplished your task.

Scotty

You might at least say thank you.

Spock

For what purpose Mr. Scott? What is it in you humans...

Scotty

Never mind...

Spock

...which requires an overwhelming display of emotion in situations such as this? Two men pursue the only reasonable course of action indicated, and yet you feel... that something else is necessary.

Scotty

Well, I'm sure that's what the Lieutenant wants. She just didn't understand. [to Lt. Romaine] Did you now, lass?

Christine Chapel

[imitating Scotty's brogue] Well, with a bedside manner like that, Scotty, you're in the wrong business.

Kirk

Scotty, where have you been? Where are you?

Scotty

In the Sick Bay.

Kirk

Are you sick?

Scotty

Oh, no. I was just checking on the lass. She's going to be fine and there's nothing wrong with her.

Kirk

Well, I'm relieved to hear your prognosis, Mr. Scott. Is the doctor there with you or will I find him in Engineering?

Scotty

Mira has tried to tell me all along that she was seeing things in advance.

Kirk

Why didn't you report it?

Scotty

You don't report space sickness. That's all I thought it was.

Scotty

I don't know why a young mind has to be an undisciplined one. They're troublemakers.

Kirk

I used to get into a little trouble when I was that age, Scotty. Didn't you?
