Episode Quotes

Kirk: It’ll hurt seeing him like that.
McCoy: I know. As much as it might seem at times that I can’t stand that point-eared encyclopedia, I don’t want to see that happen to him.

McCoy: This won't hurt a bit, Spock.
Spock: An unnecessary assurance, Doctor, in addition to being untrue.
McCoy: That's the last time I waste my bedside manner on a Vulcan.
Spock: Such restraint would be welcome.

McCoy: Blasted Vulcan. Why couldn't you have red blood like any normal human?

McCoy: What's the use of being a doctor anyway? We're only as good as our drugs and technology make us. Underneath all the tricks, I might as well be practicing in the Middle Ages.
Kirk: If you really believed that, Bones, you wouldn't still be a doctor after 25 years.
