Spock Prime : What if I told you that your transwarp theory was correct, that is is indeed possible to beam onto a ship that is traveling at warp speed?
Scotty : I think if that equation had been discovered, I'd have heard about it.
Spock Prime : The reason you haven't heard of it, Mr. Scott, is because you haven't discovered it yet.
Scotty : I'm s... Wha... It... Are you from the future?
James T. Kirk : Yeah, he is. I'm not.
Scotty : Well, that's brilliant. Do they still have sandwiches there?
-
Scotty : I like this ship! You know, it's exciting!
-
Scotty : Except, the thing is, even if I believed you, right, where you're from, what I've done - which I don't, by the way - you're still talking about beaming aboard the Enterprise while she's traveling faster than light, without a proper receiving pad.
Scotty : [to Keenser] Get off there! It's not a climbing frame!
Scotty : [back to Spock Prime] The notion of transwarp beaming is like trying to hit a bullet with a smaller bullet whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse.
[Spock writes on a paper]
Scotty : What's that?
Spock Prime : Your equation for achieving transwarp beaming.
Scotty : [to himself] He's out of it
Scotty : [reads the equation] Imagine that! It never occurred to me to think of SPACE as the thing that was moving!
-
Spock Prime : You are, in fact, the Mr. Scott who postulated the theory of transwarp beaming?
Scotty : That's what I'm talking about! How do you think I wound up here? Had a little debate with my instructor on relativistic physics and how it pertains to subspace travel. He seemed to think that the range of transporting something like a... like a grapefruit was limited to about 100 miles. I told him that I could not only beam a grapefruit from one planet to the adjacent planet in the same system - which is easy, by the way - I could do it with a life form. So, I tested it out on Admiral Archer's prized beagle.
James T. Kirk : Wait, I know that dog. What happened to it?
Scotty : I'll tell you when it reappears. Ahem. I don't know, I do feel guilty about that.
-
Spock : We are traveling at warp speed. How did you manage to beam aboard this ship?
James T. Kirk : Hey, you're the genius. You figure it out.
Spock : As acting captain of this vessel, I order you to answer the question.
James T. Kirk : Well, I'm not telling, "Acting Captain." What, did...?
[Kirk smiles]
James T. Kirk : What, now, that doesn't frustrate you, does it? My lack of cooperation? That-that doesn't make you angry...
Spock : [Spock turns to Scotty] Are you a member of Starfleet?
Scotty : I, um, yes. Can I get a towel, please?
Spock : Under penalty of court martial, I order you to explain to me how you were able to beam aboard this ship while moving at warp.
Scotty : Well...
James T. Kirk : Don't answer him.
Spock : You will answer me.
Scotty : [pause] I'd rather not take sides.

[the U.S.S. Enterprise is being sucked into a black hole, seconds away from doom]
Scotty : I'm giving her all she's got, Captain!
[the bridge ceiling begins to crack as the ship's drawn closer]
James T. Kirk : All she's got isn't good enough! What else ya got?
Scotty : Um... Okay, if we eject the core and detonate, the blast could be enough to push us away! I cannae promise anything, though!
[the viewing window starts to rupture]
James T. Kirk : DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!

[Spock Prime and Kirk arrive at a derelict Starfleet outpost, and discover...]
Scotty : You realize how unacceptable this is?
Spock Prime : Fascinating!
Scotty : Okay, I'm sure you're just doing your job, but could you not have come a wee bit sooner? Six months I've been here, living off Starfleet protein nibs and the promise of a good meal! And I know exactly what's going on here, okay? Punishment, isn't it? Ongoing! For something that was clearly an accident!
Spock Prime : [pleased] You are Montgomery Scott.
James T. Kirk : You know him?
Scotty : Aye, that's me. You're in the right place. Unless there's another hardworking, equally starved Starfleet officer around.
Keenser : Me.
Scotty : Get aff! Shut up! You don't eat anything! You can eat, like, a bean, and you're done. I'm talking about food. REAL food!
-
Scotty : I've never beamed three people from two targets onto one pad before!
-
Scotty : So, the Enterprise has had its maiden voyage, has it? She is one well-endowed lady. I'd like to get my hands on her "ample nacelles," if you pardon the engineering parlance.
-
James T. Kirk : Scotty, how we doin'?
Scotty : Dilithium chamber at maximum, Captain.
Scotty : [noticing Keenser straddling a console] GET DOWN!
