The Missing Line of Dialog that Destroyed Star Trek XI

SPOCK: Are you, Uhura, menstruating right now?

KIRK: What does that have to do with anything?

SPOCK: Back off man, I'm a scientist.
 
The line is from a scene early in his career when Spock was given KP duty in the mess hall.

"Sir, thyme is the flavor for which we yearn."
 
Scotty: As Admiral Archer always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about.

Sarek: You wanna talk about it?
Spock: No.
Sarek: I know you're probably upset right now, but I do have some exciting news for you. I got a call from Earth recently. There's a school there doing some very exciting things in new technologies. They're called Starfleet Academy. I spoke with a Captain Pike. He's very interested in finding young, bright minds to enter into these new fields of science. They want you to go to their school this fall.
Spock: Science school?
Sarek: Yes.
Spock: Don't you understand that things like science school are the reason why I get stuffed into lockers?
Sarek: Son, this is a great opportunity.
Spock: How do they even know about me?
Sarek: Well, they must have sent a rep to the science fair--your display on Andor.
Spock: I'm not a scientist! I like boxing and fishing and cars. I like sports!
Sarek: I'm gonna tell you something--something I wish someone had told me at your age. You might not want to be that guy in the labs surrounded by test tubes and beakers, but that's who you are, Spock. You can't be the pon farr king. You can't be the Klingon warrior. You can't be a human.
Spock: Don't tell me what I can't do.

McCoy: Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not the Third Marshall of the Mark!

Nero: You're making me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Chekov: Come with me if you want to live.
 
NERO: "Friends, romulans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come not to honor the Praetor, but to bury him..."
 
The way the Writer's Guild works is that the line of dialog is tied permanently back to the moment that the author of that line thought of it. So, even though the strike is over, any thoughts that were generated during that time period are forever forbidden, like the Lambada.

That is just so much fookin' bull$#!t.
 
Romulan: "My lord... we have one of the Starfleet... dudes."

Nero: "Does he know anything?"

Romulan: "No. He has no knowledge that we require."

Nero: "Let him go- WAIT. What's his name?"

Romulan: "Miles O'Brien."

Nero: "I knew it! Stick him in the Cave Of One Thousand Pains."
 
Nero: When I go home people'll ask me, "Hey Nero, why do you do it, man? What, you some kinda war junkie?" You know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you, and that's it. That's all it is.
 
Sarek: It was the year of fire.
Chekov: The year of destruction.
Sulu: The year we took back what was ours.
Uhura: It was the year of rebirth.
Pike: The year of great sadness.
Scotty: The year of pain.
Amanda: And a year of joy.
Spock: It was a new age.
Old Spock: It was the end of history.
Robau: It was the year everything changed.
McCoy: The year is 2263.
Kirk: The place... space, the final frontier...
