McCoy : Spock, I've always suspected you were a little more human than you let on. Mrs. Sarek, I know about the rigorous training of the Vulcan youth, but tell me, did he ever run and play like the human children, even in secret?
Amanda : Well, he, uh, he did have a pet Sehlat he was very fond of.
McCoy : Sehlat?
Amanda : It's sort of a... a fat teddy bear.
McCoy : [grinning] A teddy bear?
Sarek : Excuse me, Doctor. It has been a rather long day for my wife. Captain.
Captain James T. Kirk : Ambassador.
McCoy : [needlingly Spock after Sarek and Amada have gone] "A teddy bear."
Spock : Not precisely, Doctor. On Vulcan the "teddy bears" are alive, and they have 6-inch fangs

Captain James T. Kirk : [standing over a dead Tellarite] How was he killed?
McCoy : His neck was broken... by an expert.
Captain James T. Kirk : Explain.
McCoy : Well, from the nature and location of the break, I'd say the killer knew exactly where to apply pressure to snap the neck instantly.
Captain James T. Kirk : Who aboard would have that knowledge?
Spock : Vulcans. On Vulcan the method is called Tal-Shaya. It was considered a merciful form of execution in ancient times.

McCoy : Well I don't mind telling you, you sure make it difficult for a surgeon trying...
Captain James T. Kirk : [raises voice] Bones!
