Kirk: "I love the smell of photon torpedos in the morning. It smells like victory."
"May the Force be with you."
"Yes, Virginia, there is a canon clause."
Because of its highly inflammatory potential, the line was never added to the shooting script and, further, has been removed from all alternate versions of scripts extant in all timelines in a series of temporal surgical strikes of which the time-ninjas involved have disavowed all knowledge.
**cue poly-temporal theme in 5/4 meter**

Old Spock (to Kirk): I didn't invent the time machine for financial gain. The intent here is to gain a clear perception of humanity. Where we've been, where we're going. The pitfalls and the possibilities. The perils and the promise. Perhaps even an answer to that universal question, why?
Nowhere Man
Commodore
We could alway's send Leonard Nimoy back in time to stop the writer's strike , so the line could be included. I'm going to guess that at the begining of the movie "Old Spock" say's to Picard(secret cameo) " I'll be back" then get's in his time ship and follow's Nero back in time. My second guess would be prime Spock tells Kirk "Jim, it's your kid's, something's got to be done about your kids" Kirk:''What do you mean?" Spock: " Your daughter maries a black man"Kirk:That's actually not a big deal for me" Spock:" What?, really?" Kirk:"yeah, What's wrong with that?" Spock: " Nothing, congratulations" Kirk:" I don't think i'm comfortable around you anymore" Spock: " did you know peanut butter was invented by a black man" Kirk: " Too late Spock"
ok, ok I stole that from Family Guy and it's more than one line, so sue me

It is too bad this line isn't in the final film. It was a actually a whole speech for Kirk and JJ Abrams thought it was the finest thing he'd ever written. It defined Kirk and why he is captain of the Enterprise.
The speech ended with, "Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her."

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.
Quinto: "I know you. You're William Shatner. You used to be in Star Trek pictures. You used to be big."
Shatner: "I am big; it's the pictures that have gotten small."
then later
Shatner: "Alright, Mr. Abrams. I'm ready for my close-up."

Catain April: Spock is that you?
Old Spock: Here's a hint. (takes out cannon and blasts April through the Enterprise viewscreen.)

Nero to Kirk:
"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a phaser, the most powerful handgun in the universe, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"
Kirk back to Nero:
"I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"
Kirk under Uhura's Bed:
"Excuse me while I whip this out."
Shatner to Pine: (and I like Bill Shatner)
"I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."
Ok I'm giggling so much I can't drink my coffee. I'm done now.

Scotty:-
"Take the Shuttle, Go to Sarek's, Kill Nero, grab Amanda, go to the pub, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?"

'Young' Kirk to 'Old' Spock: Where's my future self...ya know..."Old" Kirk? Did he come with you?
Old Spock: Yes, he is here. However he is "below decks" right now with Gary Mitchell and Robert April. They are all in the bathroom -- and Khan has been waiting to use it next.
