James Doohan: Scott

Quotes 

• Dr. McCoy : You're BOTH out of your heads!

  Scott : Aye, sir.

  Captain James T. Kirk : And you're on the edge of insubordination!

  Dr. McCoy : I'd be on the edge of insubordination to remind the captain that this smells of something happening to him that I might not be able to patch back together again.

  Scott : Aye!

• Dr. McCoy : If they're wrong and they DO beam into a pool of lava...?

  Scott : Then they're dead men. I couldnae pull them back in time.

• Scott : President Lincoln, indeed! No doubt to be followed by Louis of France and Robert the Bruce!

  Captain James T. Kirk : If so, we'll execute appropriate honors to each, Mr. Scott.

• Mr. Spock : [checking the sensors]  Fascinating. For a moment it appeared almost... mineral, like living rock with heavy foreclaws. Settling down now to completely human readings.

  Scott : We can beam IT aboard anytime now, sir.

• Dr. McCoy : Just what was that you locked onto before you beamed him aboard?

  Scott : Ya heard Mr. Spock yourself - "mineral" he called it, like living rock.

  Dr. McCoy : And that became Lincoln?

  Scott : I couldn't tell. May have been another figure down there standing by. What do you make if it?

  Dr. McCoy : I'm not quite sure.

• Scott : It's a confrontation of some sort. Those are all figures out of history, notoriously evil.
