Yes.
I have this novel on audio as read by DeLance and that scene and a few others that aren't in the film are awesome. They should've been in the film. In another great story, ST:TNG:Crossover, Spock comes to the realization that for Unification to occur, not only should the Romulans try to become more like their Vulcan brethren, but the opposite as well. A display of emotion by a Vulcan, especially one as enlightened as Spock, is hardly unheard of and certainly likely should the elder Spock meet up with young Kirk in the past after so many years.
One of GENERATIONS' failings from Day One was the lack of Nimoy and Kelley in the film. Doohan and Koenig were serviceable replacements, but as beloved as they are Scotty and Chekov are no Spock and McCoy, especially in relation to how close they were to Kirk in his life. And Doohan's bitterness and antagonism towards Shatner in real life always colors how Scotty reacts to thinking Kirk has been killed in the movie. You never 100% buy it.
Really? I thought Doohan's acting as Scotty learning of Kirk's death were excellent. When Demora announces the breach includes Deck 15, I felt a chill when I saw Scotty's knowing reaction. When Chekov meets him and Harriman in the deflector room and the Russian sees the breech and asks if anyone was in there, Doohan's emotional, yet simple, "Aye," was delivered perfectly. I know most, if not all of the lines were written for Spock and McCoy but some worked very well for Scotty and Chekov.
It worked. Just not as well as it would have were the fanbase not familiar with the raw wounds and differences between Shatner and Doohan in real life. Scotty's lines were effective, especially on the bridge when he starts to fear something awful might just have happened to Kirk down on Deck 15. But Bones getting stoically wet-eyed or Spock freezing up and fighting his emotions upon seeing the gaping hole in the Enterprise-B's hull would have been far more impactful.
Scotty called Kirk "Jim" once. "Mirror, Mirror" I think it was.
But even in that more formal "Spock Speak" he'd probably betray a lot of emotion he'd tried to keep hidden for 90+ years.
And you would have won....
No kidding. But talk about prophetic.
At least now we get to discuss the actual moment where Old Spock sees Jim for the first time since 2293.
I've got to admit that it's on-topic.yeah, now where's M'Sharak?
Hah hah I've been laughing somewhat are the startlingly accurate prediction that came true.
I thought the scene was great. It really cemented the movie as being true to TOS in the best way possible. The movie would have still been good without Nemoy, but his presence cemented the film as a true continuation of the Star Trek saga.

Damn! You made me sad all over again that Amok Time can't happen now.
Or maybe it will in some form. Spock's gonna get more pressure than ever to get married and have some little pointy eared kiddies.
well not the first line but close
really a great scene between the two.
i really didnt care for two monsters chasing kirk( one would have been ok)
but from the time that spock prime chases off the monster to kirk and scotty beam out that is one of my favorite parts of the movie.
