All those are great, but I remember Bones' comment at the end of "Amok Time" the best.
"There's just one more thing, Mister Spock. You can't tell me that when you found out Jim was alive that you were on the verge of bringing down the house."
Spock: "Merely my relief that Starfleet had not lost a highly proficient captain."
Kirk: Very logical.
Bones: Yes, your reaction was quite logical.
Spock: Thank you, Doctor.
Bones as Kirk and Spock turn to leave. "In a pig's eye."
I too miss Bones. At least it appears his role has been given to someone who enjoys the part.

This is the one that first came into my mind. I really like that scene.
Thanks for the link, RR! It includes another of my favorite McCoy phrases... "If I jumped every time a light came on around here, I'd end up talking to myself."Here's a YouTube homage to McCoy, with most of his famous, "I'm a doctor, not a (fill in the blank)" sayings.-- RR
TWOK is one of my favourite mvoies, and I love Bones in it. Here are a couple of my favourite lines of his from that:
"Not anymore; now we can do both at the same time! According to myth, the Earth was created in six days. Now, watch out! Here comes Genesis! We'll do it for you in six minutes!"
"Jim, I'm your doctor and I'm also your friend. Get back your command! Get it back before you turn into part of this collection, before you really do grow old."

"Jim, I'm your doctor and I'm also your friend. Get back your command! Get it back before you turn into part of this collection, before you really do grow old."
Two of my favorites from Beverly Crusher:
"If there's nothing wrong with me... maybe there's something wrong with the universe."
"You scare me, doctor. You risk your patients' lives and justify it in the name of research. Genuine research takes time... sometimes a lifetime of painstaking, detailed work in order to get any results. Not for you, you take short cuts, right through living tissue. You put your research ahead of your patients' lives and as far as I'm concerned, that's a violation of our most sacred trust. I'm sure your work will be hailed as a stunning breakthrough. Enjoy your laurels, doctor. I'm not sure I could."

One of my favorite exchanges between Kirk & McCoy is when Kirk decides to use Regula One's space station transporter to see if they'll find Stage Two of Genesis:
BONES: Go? Where are we going?
KIRK: Where they went!
BONES: Suppose they went . . . nowhere?
KIRK: Then this'll be your big chance to get away from it all!

I was just thinking about that sequence. What a great character Bones was and is.

That was one I was going to post, too. I love it--McCoy came right out of the gate fully-formed. De Kelley, rest his soul, defined the character perfectly by the end of that--his very first scene.
"What'm I, a doctor or a moon-shuttle conductor?"

Great link.
Having just watched Devil in the Dark again tonight, I have to add one of my personal favorite McCoy quotes..."It won't die! By golly, Jim, I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!"
I just love how genuinely thrilled he is to have healed his patient.
Ah Bones, there will never be another quite like you.One that popped in mind immediately: "Computer, delete Paris" - EMH Doctor.
I think that's my favorite line in all of Star Trek - all incarnations.
HOw about from Journey to Babel.
"I finally got the last word." - (Big McCoy smile.)
From TFF: "If I'm not careful I'll end up talking to myself."
"Sometimes you really piss me off, Jim."
"I liked him better before he died."
From TUC: After seeing Martia plant a big one on Kirk: "What is it with you?!"
Inspired by the current VOY avatar contest, this from Drive:
Doctor: "So, what program are you planning to run?"
Torres: "Something new, called Gedi Prime."
Doctor: "I've heard of that, the vacation paradise that makes Risa look like a tourist trap."
Torres: "Endless kilometres of crystalline beaches, mood reefs, bi-luminescent waterfalls-"
Doctor: "And a championship golf course, if I'm not mistaken. Why don't I just join you?"
Torres: "Somehow I don't think that would add to the mood."
Doctor: "Don't be so sure. You haven't seen me in a bathing suit."

Ge(i)di Prime? Isn't that the Harkonnen homeworld?
Yeah, Giedi Prime from Dune. Good spot, that man!
