Quotes 

  • Dr. McCoy : There's just one thing, Mr. Spock. You can't tell me that when you first saw Jim alive that you weren't on the verge of giving us an emotional scene that would have brought the house down.

    Spock : Merely my quite logical relief that Starfleet had not lost a highly proficient captain.

    Captain James T. Kirk : Yes, Mr. Spock, I understand.

    Spock : Thank you, Captain.

    Dr. McCoy : Of course, Mr. Spock. Your reaction was quite logical.

    Spock : Thank you, Doctor.

    [Kirk and Spock head for the exit] 

    Dr. McCoy : In a pig's eye!

  • Dr. McCoy : Jim, when I suggested to Spock that it was time for his routine check-up, your logical, unemotional first officer turned to me and said, "You will cease to pry into my personal matters, Doctor, or I shall certainly break your neck."

  • Dr. McCoy : [about Spock]  There's a growing imbalance of body functions, as if, in our bodies, huge amounts of adrenalin were constantly being pumped into our blood streams. Now, I can't trace it down in my biocomps, Spock won't tell me what it is, but if it isn't stopped somehow, the physical and emotional pressures will simply kill him.

    Captain James T. Kirk : You say you're convinced he knows what it is?

    Dr. McCoy : He does. And he's as tight-lipped about it as an Aldebaran shellmouth.

  • Dr. McCoy : Yeah. "Hot as Vulcan." Now I understand what that phrase means.

  • Spock : My orders were to report to sick bay, Doctor. I have done so. And now I'll go to my quarters.

    Dr. McCoy : My orders were to give you a thorough physical. In case you haven't noticed, I have to report to the same commanding officer that you do! Come on, Spock, yield to the logic of the situation.

  • Dr. McCoy : If you don't get him to Vulcan within a week, eight days at the outside, he'll die. He'll die, Jim!

  • Spock : This is our place of kunat kalifee.

    Dr. McCoy : [to Kirk as Spock walks forward]  He called it "kunat WHAT?"

    Captain James T. Kirk : He described it to me as meaning marriage or challenge. In the distant past, Vulcans killed to win their mates.

    Dr. McCoy : And they still go mad at this time - perhaps the price they pay for having no emotions the rest of the time.
