* When they're going to meet the Federation delegate, Bones points out that a ''lot'' of women in Starfleet seem to be Kirk's {{New Old Flame}}s, which Spock says is a "valid statistical point." Kirk maintains that he's never heard of the delegate...only to realise that oops, he ''did'' date her briefly two decades previously and just misremembered her name. Kirk is so thrown by this discovery that he introduces his companions as "my Spock officer, Commander First, and Doctor [=MacNeil=] - I mean [=McCoy=]."
-->"You'll excuse us," [=McCoy=] said lightly. "I have to talk to Mr Spock about statistics."\\
[they leave, presumably so [=McCoy=] can die laughing somewhere in private]

* The whole thing. Highlights include: tossing Klingons down laundry chutes, an insane computer with a milkshake fixation, the barbarian tribe that captures Sulu and [=McCoy=] and promptly breaks out into a Broadway musical number, the Klingon film noir fan, and last but not least, the Klingon vs. Starfleet pie fight.
--->Blueberry, Kirk thought instead of ducking.\\
''Splat.''\\
Blueberry it was.
* [=McCoy=] explaining why he, Sulu, and two Klingons won't KneelBeforeZod (the evil queen):
-->'''[=McCoy=]:''' Well, it's against Mr. Sulu's religion, these two gentlemen (the Klingons) already have a dictator, and I'm a Democrat.
* [=McCoy=] demands to know why Sulu woke ''him'' up to go on an adventure at dawn. He asks why he didn't go to Chekov.
-->'''Sulu:''' I tried Pavel's door first. Whatever he said to me was all in Russian. I understood the gestures, though.

* Through a series of complicated events, Kirk ends up locked in a closet in a cat burglar outfit which is much too small for him. He breaks out of the closet, tearing the outfit in the process. He takes the destroyed costume off, but isn't too happy about the prospect of running around a hotel in undershirt and shorts. The only other article of clothing in the closet is a dress. However, it's also torn, which brings us to this line:
-->He took a long look at the red dress, was rather thankful it was so badly torn up, saving him a tough choice.
** So ''apparently,'' if the dress hadn't been torn, Kirk would have seriously considered wearing it around the hotel.
* Bones [=McCoy=] was [[NotAMorningPerson not a morning person]].
