Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

Plot hole: When they enter the bridge, Kirk says, "McCoy and I have to do this; the rest of you do not." It is Scotty who works on getting the spacedoors open, but if he did not have to be there, then how did Kirk plan to get the spacedoors open?

Chosen answer: Scotty spent the best years of his career as the chief engineer of the flagship of the Federation: the Enterprise. His time has passed, however and the Federation is rumored to be planning on the Excelsior becoming the new flagship. It is a larger ship with a new, experimental warp drive. Scotty hates the Excelsior primarily due to his pride in the Enterprise but also because he is unimpressed by the design of the Excelsior. The trans-warp drive is easily sabotaged.
