Quotes 

• Kirk : [responds to a tapping within the wall]  What's that noise?

  Spock : [tapping continues]  I believe it is a primitive form of communication known as morse Code.

  Kirk : You're right. I'm out of practice.

  [tapping] 

  Kirk : That's an "S".

  Spock : "T".

  Kirk : "A"... "N"... "D", end of word.

  McCoy : "Stand".

  Kirk : New word... "B"... "A"...

  Spock : "C"... "K".

  McCoy : "Back". "Stand back".

  Kirk , Spock , McCoy : "Stand back"?

  [the wall explodes] 

  Scotty : [on the other side of the wall]  What are you standing around for? Do you not know a jailbreak when you see one?

• [Chief Engineer Scott making a log entry] 

  Scotty : USS Enterprise, shakedown crew's report. I think this new ship was put together by monkeys. Oh, she's got a fine engine, but half the doors won't open, and guess whose job it is to make it right.

• Scotty : [cursing, on his back trying to fix a computer console]  "Let's see what she's got," said the captain. And then we found out, didn't we?

  Uhura : [walking in]  I know you'll whip her into shape, Scotty, you always do.

  Scotty : [getting up]  Uhura, I thought you were on leave.

  Uhura : And I thought we were supposed to be going together.

  Scotty : Oh, I can't leave her now when she needs me the most.

  Uhura : [stroking Scotty's cheek]  I had a feeling you would say something like that, so I brought us...

  [whipping up two packages] 

  Uhura : dinner.

  Scotty : [grabbing a package]  Oh, lassie. You're the most understanding woman I know.

  Starfleet Officer : [transmission on a malfunctioning computer]  Red-Red-Red Alert. Red Alert. Red-Red-Red Alert.

  Scotty : I just fixed that damn thing! Turn it off, will you?

• Kirk : Mr. Scott, you're amazing!

  Scotty : There's nothing amazing about it. I know this ship like the back of my hand.

  [walks into low-hanging beam, knocks himself out cold] 

• Kirk : Understand your situation, are unable to return to planet. Stand by to execute emergency landing plan... "B."

  [Everyone in the shuttle stares at Kirk in confusion, and Spock mouths, "B?" Aboard the Enterprise:] 

  Chekov : What's emergency landing plan "B?"

  Scotty : I don't have a clue.

  Kirk : [over comm]  "B" as in "barricade".

  Scotty : He can't be serious!

• Scotty : [to Kirk about ship status]  Ah. All I can say is they don't make them like they used to.

  Kirk : You told me you could get this ship operational in two weeks, I gave you three, what happened?

  Scotty : I think you gave me too much time, Captain.

  Kirk : Very well, Mr Scott. Carry on.

  Scotty : Aye, sir.

  [Spots a junior engineer nearby] 

  Scotty : How many times do I have to tell you, the right tool for the right job!

  McCoy : [laughs]  I don't think I've ever seen him happier.

  [They enter the turbolift] 

  Computer : Le-le-level?

  Kirk : Bridge... I hope. I could use a shower.

  Spock : [looks at Kirk]  Yes.

• 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.

  Kirk : The feeling's mutual. Engine room.

  Scotty : [over the intercom]  Scotty here.

  Kirk : We'll need all the power you can muster, mister.

  Scotty : Don't you worry, Captain. We'll beat those Klingon devils, even if I have to get out and push.

  Kirk : I hope it won't come to that, Mr. Scott.

• Kirk : Transporter room, status.

  Scotty : Scotty here, Captain. Transporter is still inoperative. Even if we could lock onto the hostages, we could not beam them up.

  Kirk : We're gonna have to get them out the old-fashioned way.

• Starfleet Officer : This is a red alert. Enterprise, please acknowledge.

  Uhura : This is Enterprise. Identify yourself.

  Starfleet Officer : Enterprise, this is Starfleet. We have a priority seven situation in the Neutral Zone.

  Uhura : Stand by, Starfleet. Scotty, this is for real.

  Scotty : They can't be serious. The ship's in pieces and we've got less than a skeleton crew aboard.

  Uhura : Starfleet, are you aware of our current status?

  Starfleet Officer : Current status understood. Stand by to copy operational orders and recall key personnel.
