Amanda: And you, Sarek, would you also say thank you to your son?
Sarek: I don't understand.
Amanda: Well, for saving your life.
Sarek: Spock acted in the only logical manner open to him. One does not thank logic, Amanda.
Amanda: Logic, logic - I'm sick to death of logic! Do you want to know how I feel about your logic?
Spock: Emotional, isn't she?
Sarek: She has always been that way.
Spock: Indeed? Why did you marry her?
Sarek: At the time, it seemed the logical thing to do.
[In sickbay]
Spock: Doctor, I think I'll return to my station now.
Dr. McCoy: You ARE at your station, Mr. Spock!
Capt. Kirk: Dr. McCoy, I believe you're enjoying all this.
Spock: Indeed, Captain. I've never seen him look so happy.
Dr. McCoy: [To Spock] Shut up!
[Kirk opens his mouth to comment, but McCoy interrupts.]
Dr. McCoy: Shh! Shh!
[Dejected, Kirk lies back.]
Dr. McCoy: [Grinning] Well, what do you know? I finally got the last word.
The Trouble With Tribbles - S2-E15
Capt. Kirk: I want to know what killed these tribbles.
Dr. McCoy: I haven't figured out what keeps them alive yet.
The Trouble With Tribbles - S2-E15
Dr. McCoy: It is a human characteristic to love little animals, especially if they're attractive in some way.
Spock: Doctor, I am well aware of human characteristics. I am frequently inundated by them, but I've trained myself to put up with practically anything.
Dr. McCoy: Spock, I do not know too much about these little Tribbles yet, but there is one thing that I have discovered.
Spock: What is that, Doctor?
Dr. McCoy: I like them... Better than I like you.
Dr. McCoy: I'm a doctor, not an engineer.
Dr. McCoy: Spock, I've always suspected that 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.
Dr. McCoy: Sehlat?
Amanda: It's sort of a...a fat Teddy bear.
Dr. McCoy: [Amused] A Teddy bear? [Sarek comes and takes Amanda away.] A Teddy bear [to Kirk].
Spock: Not precisely, Doctor. On Vulcan, the Teddy bears are alive...and have six inch fangs.

Trader: Four credits.
Cyrano Jones: Is that an offer or a joke?
Trader: That's my offer.
Cyrano Jones: That's a joke.
A Piece of the Action - S2-E17
Spock:Young man, this is likely to be quite hazardous. If I were you...
Kirk: Hold on, Spock. Out of the mouths of babes...
Kid: Who ya callin' a babe?
Kirk: I'm callin' you a babe.
Kid: You callin' me a babe?
Kirk: Yeah, I'm callin'... [Kid brandishes a knife, Kirk continues.] I'm callin' you a babe, but there's nothing personal. Sit down.
Chosen answer: If they're in orbit, they're being pulled along by the planet's gravity well, therefore, impulse engines would only be used for minor corrections and would be "on standby" while in orbit, but not active. (Like keeping your car idling without revving the engine and creating plumes of exhaust).
