...that looks like a piece of plastic weighing about two pounds.
Oh yes, their by-play is always the best. Another one along these lines that I always liked was from Bread and Circuses, again maybe not quite verbatim: "Why doctor, I had no idea you were trained. Watching you, I had always assumed it was trial and err-or."
For some reason I always have to laugh at T'Pau's "Ze air is ze air. What can be done."
That was from the first pilot, The Cage, later shown as part of The Menagerie, said by Spock.
Thanks
"Good, honest hated. Very Refreshing."

"Smile and smile. I don't trust men who smile too much."
and...
"Think of it. In space above us the fate of the galaxy will be decided for the next ten thousand years."
and...
"Fools! Will I have to kill them all?"
--Klingon Commander Kor from "Errand Of Mercy"

From Bread and Circuses:
McCoy (to Spock): "You know why you're not afraid to die, Spock? You're more afraid of living. Each day you stay alive is just one more day you might slip and let your human half peek out. That's it, isn't it? Insecurity."
The way Spock looks away from him in response says everything.

The 'I Mudd' conversation about Norman between McCoy and Spock is a classic in their arguements
MCCOY: Yes. There's something odd about that man, and I can't quite pinpoint it.
SPOCK: Perhaps you're making a rather hasty judgment. Mister Norman has only been aboard seventy two hours.
MCCOY: I know when something doesn't strike me right, and he doesn't.
SPOCK: Specifics, Doctor. Labels do not make arguments.
MCCOY: All right. There's something wrong about a man who never smiles, whose conversation never varies from the routine of the job, and who won't talk about his background.
SPOCK: I see.
MCCOY: Spock, I mean that it's odd for a non-Vulcan. The ears make all the difference.
SPOCK: I find your argument strewn with gaping defects in logic.
MCCOY: Maybe, but you can't evaluate a man by logic alone. Besides, he has avoided two appointments that I've made for his physical exam without reason.
SPOCK: That's not at all surprising, Doctor. He's probably terrified of your beads and rattles.

Others posted these first, but they're some of my faves:
Hear, hear! One that today's society full of people wanting "instant gratification" would do well to learn.
My "History of Western Civilization" professor quoted this in reference to WWI. He gave extra credit to the guy who identified Spock as the source.
The first is still the best.
The way the scene ends is great also.
Spock: "Really, Doctor?"
McCoy: "I Know. I'm worried about Jim, too."
Great writing. The friendship is shown thorugh the fight.
==============
Some that weren't posted:
"The more advanced the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play."
"When dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating."
Rather ironic when you consider it's from a TV show.
"God? But still driven by human frailty." *looks into camera* "Do you like what you see?"
Actually, Kirk's whole talk with Dr. Dehner through his confrontation with Gary Mitchell is TOS at its best, IMnsHO.
"Well, I can think of ONE way right off!"
and...
"You'll need somethin' to wash that down with."
and...
"It's green!"
