McCoy: "I'm just an old country doctor!"
Spock: "Yes. As I've always suspected."
McCoy: "My dear girl, I'm a doctor. When I peek, it's in the line of duty!"
RIP To "The REAL McCoy"!! Thank You, Mr. Kelley, For The Great Memories!!!
In the first season Deforest Kelley only received end of credit mention but since he completely made the role his and more than held his own as character and actor against Kirk and Spock, he got joint top billing with them from the second season
That's one doctor not to argue with! McCoy could even put his own captain on a salad diet when his weight was going up.
One of my favorite McCoy-Spock exchanges was from "Shore Leave"...
McCoy: "I, for one, could use a good, non-reconstituted meal.
Spock: "You are a sensualist, Doctor."
McCoy: "You bet your pointed ears I am!"
Great line…from “Arena”.
He had alot of great lines!!! And he did deserve the last word!
Always my favourite Star Trek character.
His most prophetic line came in “The Deadly Years” when he said ”…You can’t argue with a machine.”
He was awesome
“WHAT AM I-A DOCTOR OR A MOON SHUTTLE CONDUCTOR?!!”
I expected more "I’m a doctor, not a [moon shuttle conductor / bricklayer / psychiatrist / mechanic / engineer / scientist / physicist / escalator / magician / miracle worker / flesh peddler / veterinarian]."
Gotta keep these guys under 2 minutes, after all! 🤣
Love McCoy. Always awesome and classy
When I first watched them in the '60s they were just so real, all of them. Fully three dimensional characters, what a concept.
Kelley has an old-west movie flashback when the guy in Shore Leave says we don't need you as a doctor...
My all time favorite Star Trek character! :)
There’s an episode where McCoy gives the entire crew drugs to keep a malevolent spirit from taking over their bodies. That moment officially makes Leonard McCoy the best doctor ever!
After the lovely Captain Dr McCoy is my favourite!
Deforest Kelley was a great actor.
Had the privilege of sharing a birthday with DeForest Kelley, my favorite of the series.
You cut the first one off too early -- before he told Spock he should probably beam down with pitchfork in hand. 🤣
McCoy is easily my favorite character in the whole franchise, no contest. ❤
One of my favorites is:
Edith Keeler: “Lots of people drink from the wrong bottle sometimes…”
McCoy: “NOT as wrong as the bottle I drank from”.
And a bit of a cheat:
McCoy: "Well, this is a new ship, but she's got the right name. Now you remember that, you hear!"
Data: "I will, sir."
McCoy: "You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home."
-- Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Encounter at Farpoint"
I love that scene!
They missed the “I’m just a country doctor” line!
McCoy: "Do me a favor, Spock, and _don't_ say it's fascinating."
Spock: "No. But it _is_ interesting."
McCoy:
On his tombstone, it should say, "He's dead, Jim!".
Something tells me that someone puts a bumper sticker on the grave marker at least one a year.
My favorite phrase was well that's a fine thing to leave lying around and he was referring to a flintlock rifle......
I love star trek and metv
I have come across _so many_ people who are utterly baffled about why McCoy's nickname is "Bones," so for all the people who don't understand I thought I would give an explanation (and no, it is _absolutely not_ the stupid reason the writers just randomly pulled straight out of their butts for the 2009 movie.)
Bones is short for "Sawbones," an old-timey slang term for a doctor (or more specifically for a surgeon.) Just think of American Civil War-era Army doctors performing emergency amputations by literally just giving their victim... er, patient... a shot of whiskey and then sawing off a limb.
I have _absolutely no idea_ why the writers of the 2009 _Star Trek_ movie gave such a stupid reason ("Wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce; all I got left is my bones")instead of just having McCoy tell Kirk that people called him "Bones," and explain how it's short for "Sawbones." The writers could have _easily_ cleared up all the confusion for so many people. But instead they felt the need to actually _add_ to the confusion by making up a pretty stupid new reason for the nickname. (I really think the writers _themselves_ actually didn't know the reason behind McCoy's nickname, and so they thought they had to make up an explanation... Hell, I can't help but get the very distinct impression that the writers of this _Star Trek_ film _didn't actually know anything about Star Trek.)_
It's actually a great little character point, since Bones is generally a traditionalist (for the 23rd century) and disapproves of stuff like transporters and other modern innovations. Bones was probably even more of a traditionalist before he was stationed on the flagship of Starfleet, so it follows that along his career someone would accuse him of being some kind of old-timey 19th century doctor and giving him a nickname that was the parlance of that time.
Just don't let him around anyone performing actual 21st century surgery.

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a bartender!
It's worse than I thought Jim, He's dead!
Good stuff I wasn't born until'72 but I didn't mind the original series prefer the next generation
