Quotes 

• Dr. McCoy : You deliberately stopped me, Jim. I could have saved her. Do you know what you just did?

  Spock : He knows, Doctor. He knows.

• Dr. McCoy : Assassins! Murderers! Murderers! Assassins!

  [he spots a homeless man] 

  Dr. McCoy : You! What planet is this?

  [the homeless man runs away] 

  Dr. McCoy : [chasing after him, shouting crazily]  No! Don't run! I won't kill you! It's *they* who do the killing! Don't run! I won't kill you!

• Dr. McCoy : [after coming out of a faint]  The most common question to ask would be "Where am I?". I don't think I'll ask it.

  Edith Keeler : Why not?

  Dr. McCoy : The only possible answer would conclusively prove that I'm either unconscious or demented. This looks like old Earth around 1920, '25.

  Edith Keeler : Would you care to try for '30?

  Dr. McCoy : I *am* unconscious or demented.

  Edith Keeler : I have a friend that talks about Earth the same way that you do. Would you like to meet him?

  Dr. McCoy : I'm a surgeon, not a psychiatrist. I am Leonard McCoy, Senior Medical Officer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.

  Edith Keeler : I don't mean to disbelieve you, but that's hardly a Navy uniform.

  Dr. McCoy : That's quite all right. That's quite all right, dear, because I don't believe in you, either.

• Dr. McCoy : [to Edith]  You know, I've convinced myself that this is all in a cordrazine hallucination. But I've decided you're not.

• Dr. McCoy : [tending to an injured and unconscious Sulu]  There's a heart flutter. I'd better risk a few drops of cordrazine.

  Capt. Kirk : That's tricky stuff - are you sure you want to risk...

  Dr. McCoy : [McCoy administers the cordrazine, and Sulu's eyes open]  You were about to make a medical comment, Jim?

  Capt. Kirk : Who, me, Doctor?
