Life-- Spock, why didn't you jump in?
I was trying to comprehend the words' meaning.
Leonard McCoy It's a song, you green-blooded Vulcan! The words aren't important. What's important is that you have fun singing it!
Oh, I am sorry, Doctor. Were we having fun?
Leonard McCoy God, I liked him better before he died.
Captain.
Spock, we're on leave. You can call me Jim.
Jim.
Yes, Spock?
Life is not a dream.
Go to sleep, Spock.
Yes, Captain.
Good night, Bones.
Leonard McCoy Good night, Jim.
Good night, Spock.
Good night, Doctor.
Good night, Spock.
Good night, Captain.
I don't know... I just don't know.
"All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."
Leonard McCoy Melville.
John Masefield.
Leonard McCoy Are you sure about that?
I am well-versed in the classics, Doctor.
Leonard McCoy Then how come you don't know Row, Row, Row Your Boat?
[Spock raises both eyebrows]
You told me you could get this ship operational in two weeks. I gave you three, what happened?
I think you gave me too much time, Captain.
Very well, Mr Scott. Carry on.
Aye, sir. [spots a nearby engineer] How many times do I have to tell you-- the right tool for the right job!
Leonard McCoy I don't think I've ever seen him happier.
Lev-Lev-Level?
Bridge. I hope. I could use a shower.
Leonard McCoy Jim... if you ask me, and you haven't, I think this is a terrible idea. We're bound to bump into the Klingons. And they don't exactly like you.
The feeling's mutual. Engine room.
We'll need all the power you can muster, mister.
Don't you worry, Captain. We'll beat those Klingon devils, even if I have to get out and push.
I hope it won't come to that, Mr. Scott.
Leonard McCoy What's the matter, Jim?
I miss my old chair.
Damn it, Spock! God damn it!
Captain, what I have done--
What you have done is betray every man on the ship.
Worse, I have betrayed you. I do not expect you to forgive me.
Forgive you? I ought to knock you on your goddamned ass.
If you think it would help?
Leonard McCoy You want me to hold him, Jim?
You stay out of this.
Leonard McCoy I'll say one thing, Spock. You never cease to amaze me.
Nor I myself.
You're right. I'm out of practice. That's an "S."
A "T."
"A." "N." Uh, "D." End of word.
Leonard McCoy "Stand."
New word. "B." "A." Um...
"C." "K."
Leonard McCoy "Back." "Stand back."
Stand back?
What are you standing around for? Do you not know a jailbreak when you see one?
What is this power you have to control the minds of my crew?
I don't control minds. I free them.
Leonard McCoy How?
By making you face, and draw strength from it. Once that's done fear cannot stop you.
You doubt me?
I seek proof.
Leonard McCoy Jim, you don't ask the Almighty for his I.D.
Then here is the proof you seek. [shoots Kirk with a lightning bolt]
I've lost a brother.
Yes. I lost a brother once. I was lucky I got him back.
Leonard McCoy I thought you said men like us don't have families.
I was wrong.
Leonard McCoy I doubt any god who inflicts pain for his own pleasure.
Leonard McCoy Is God really out there?
Maybe God's not out there, Bones. [Gestures to his chest] Maybe he's right here--human heart.
