Montgomery Scott
You planning to take a swim?
Leonard McCoy
Off the deep end, Mr. Scott.
James T. Kirk
We've got to find some humpbacks.
Montgomery Scott
Humpbacked people?
James T. Kirk
Whales, Mr. Scott. Whales. About 45 to 50 feet long. About 40 tons each.
Leonard McCoy
"Angels and ministers of grace, defend us."
Spock
Hamlet, act I, scene IV.
what did you have in mind?
Leonard McCoy
Perhaps the professor can use your computer?
Montgomery Scott
Computer. Computer. Ah. [McCoy hands him a mouse and he speaks over it] Hello, computer.
Just use the keyboard.
Montgomery Scott
The keyboard. How quaint.
Spock
Guessing is not in my nature, doctor.
Leonard McCoy
Well... nobody's perfect.
James T. Kirk
Mr. Spock, have you accounted for the variable mass of whales and water in your time re-entry program?
Spock
Mr. Scott cannot give me exact figures, Admiral, so... I will make a guess.
James T. Kirk
A guess? You, Spock? That's extraordinary.
Spock
I don't think he understands.
Leonard McCoy
No, Spock. He means that he feels safer about your guesses than most other people's facts.
Spock
Then you're saying... it is a compliment?
Leonard McCoy
It is.
Spock
Ah. Then I will try to make the best guess I can.
Leonard McCoy
The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe. We'll get a freighter.
Hikaru Sulu
With all respect, Doctor, I'm counting on Excelsior.
Montgomery Scott
Excelsior? Why in God's name would you want that bucket of bolts?
James T. Kirk
A ship is a ship.
Montgomery Scott
Whatever you say, sir. Thy will be done.
James T. Kirk
My friends... we've come home.
Leonard McCoy
You think they could at least send us a ship. It's bad enough to be court-martialed and to have to spend the rest of our lives mining borite, but to have to go home in this Klingon flea trap!
James T. Kirk
You could learn a thing or two from this flea trap, it's got a cloaking device that costs us a lot.
McCoy
I just wish we could cloak out the stench.
