• [Chekov, the only landing party member not to be affected by radiation sickness, is being examined for the umteenth time by Dr. McCoy] 

  McCoy : Now, this isn't gonna to hurt a bit.

  Chekov : That's what you said the last time.

  McCoy : Did it hurt?

  Chekov : Yes!

• Spock : Doctor, ship's temperature is increasingly uncomfortable for me. I've adjusted the environment in my quarters to 125 degrees, which is at least tolerable. However, I...

  McCoy : Well, I see I'm not gonna be making any house calls on YOU!

  Spock : I wondered if perhaps there was something which could lower my sensitivity to cold.

  McCoy : I'm not a magician, Spock, just an old country doctor.

  Spock : Yes. As I always suspected.

• McCoy : Anytime you're ready, Mr. Spock.

  Spock : I am quite ready now, Doctor.

  McCoy : Because of your Vulcan physique, I've prepared an extremely potent shot for you. However, I thought you'd might like to know that I've removed all the breakables from sickbay.

  Spock : That is very considerate of you, Doctor.

• McCoy : [checking out the Captain's twinge]  Jim, I think we'd better run a complete physical on you.

  Captain James T. Kirk : Why? Just muscular strain, hmm?

  McCoy : No, Jim. It's advanced arthritis. It's spreading.

• Arlene Galway : [from the blooper reel]  Doctor, may I speak to you for a moment, please?

  McCoy : Of course.

  Arlene Galway : Well, I know this is going to sound foolish, but

  [Beverly Washburn breaks character] 

  Arlene Galway : I feel like hell! I've forgotten my next line!

• McCoy : It's a blasted machine, Spock.

  McCoy : You can't argue with a machine.

• Spock : Doctor, we made the necessary computations and produced this serum. It is crude, and dangerous, but we had no time for refinements.

  McCoy : All right! Let's... let's go!

  Spock : It could cure - or kill, Doctor.

  McCoy : Don't give me any Vulcan details, Spock. Just give me the shot!

  Captain James T. Kirk : No... *I'll* take the first shot.

• McCoy : I don't know what's causing it. Virus, bacteria or evil spirits, but I'm trying to find out.

• McCoy : [to Spock]  Oh, you're perfectly healthy.

  Spock : I must differ with you, Doctor. I'm having difficulty concentrating, which is most disturbing, my eye sight appears to be failing, and the normal temperature of the ship seems to me to be increasingly colder.

  McCoy : I did not say you weren't affected, Mr. Spock. You are perfectly healthy. That is, for any normal Vulcan on the high side of 100.
