Best lines in "Beyond" (Obviously avoid thread if you haven't seen it yet)

[Franklin]

This may be a good time to start a thread where we can talk about what we thought were the best lines and the lines that received the most reaction in the audiences where we saw the movie.

There were certainly a lot of laugh lines, but the best to me was subtly delivered and very early in the movie, when Kirk gets back from his diplomatic mission gone awry and says to McCoy so matter-of-factly, "I ripped another shirt."

 

[Smellmet]

I liked the 'horseshit' joke, that got the biggest laugh in my showing. There were several funny bits, I can't remember them all though. Though not a funny line I thought the opening scene was really funny and cleverly filmed.

That line was delivered so quietly that it really didn't come across as a joke or something, which makes it even more hilarious!

"Montgomery Scotty" was also quite funny, but they shouldn't have repeated it so often.

Yeah, that and the whole radioactive tracking thing were probably the biggest laughs in my showing too.

 

[Tracy Trek]

All of Spock and McCoy's interactions were good. McCoy saying Spock must be delirious because he's laughing is one that stands out.

"Jim you look like crap"

 

[Oso Blanco]

Yeah, that and the whole radioactive tracking thing were probably the biggest laughs in my showing too.

That was my biggest laugh in any Star Trek! The horse shit joke didn't work that well for me, I guess that was meant for the younger audience.

I'm 42. I guess I'm a big kid.

At the end when someone said 'Commodore Paris' there were a lot of people who sort of sat up and looked at the people next to them...who were, in turn, sitting up and looking back at them. You know they wanted to ask questions but didn't want to get in trouble for talking.

It got some attention in other words.

"You gave your girlfriend a tracking device?"

Personal favourite - and it got a huge laugh there, and in the follow up at the end as well.

Some of mine were near the end during the confration between Kirk and Krall/Captain Edison.
At least I know what I am. I'm a soldier!" - Krall
"You won the war, Edison. You gave us peace!" - Kirk
"Peace...is not what I was born into." - Krall

^^ That and Quinto's pitch-perfect blank-stare Spock reaction.

In Jim Kirk's opening monologue about routine, the reference to everything feeling "episodic" made me laugh pretty hard. So did Scotty's passing reference to the "giant hand" as a possible explanation for the Franklin's presence. Also McCoy's rant at Spock when that "green-blooded ingrate" gets him pressed into going out into a Swarm ship with him.

You gave your girlfriend a tracking device?" everyone In my showing was laughing at that

Also when they transported to the Franklin and Kirk says think some of my insides or something like that

"You gave your girlfriend a tracking device?"

Biggest laugh by far in the theater I went to, yep!

"You gave your girlfriend a tracking device?"

Personal favourite - and it got a huge laugh there, and in the follow up at the end as well.

Combined with "You gave your girlfriend radioactive jewelry?" Got the biggest laugh where I was, too.

Not so much a line, but the scene at the end where Jaylah is "taking off the edge" got quite a few chuckles, too.

Chekov's line about Scotch being invented by a Russian wasn't exactly laugh-out-loud funny, but it was cute and nostalgic (and unfortunately, created misty eyes in me).

 

[mymatty]

When Scotty said he had to beam Spock and Bones back separately to avoid them getting "spliced" together

Bones' bit about not dying alone still cracked me up even though I knew it from the trailer

The tracking device was also hilarious

The beginning with Kirk's ripped shirt

Spock saying "horseshit" is comedy gold, purely because it's Spock.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

As Spock and McCoy are beaming over to the swarm ship he says, "I'm a doctor, not a ffff----" One can only speculate as to what he was about to say.

 

[Tracy Trek]

I thought maybe he was going to say "effing pilot".

I also caught the Commodore Paris moment.

The radioactive jewelry/tracking device got a laugh in the theater I went to as well.

 

[Smellmet]

I'm remembering a few now they're being mentioned. I think they nailed the humour in this film

 

[Amaris]

As has been said, the radioactive jewelry/tracking device scene got huge laughs, especially Spock's blank stare. My personal favorite was when Scotty was introducing Jaylah to the two trespassers into her "home", and motioned to Jim, saying "and this magnificent bastard is James T. Kirk." For some reason, it made me and half the theater start cracking up.
