The Missing Line of Dialog that Destroyed Star Trek XI

Sulu: Ready for warp, sir.
Pike: Let's punch it.
[sound of the warp engines powering up]
[exterior shot shows the Enterprise warping backward into the spacedock]
 
Pike: Set course for Vulcan.

Sulu: Sorry Sir, the GPS doesn't get installed until Tuesday.
 
Kirk: All we've got isn't enough! What else ya got?

Scotty: Do you understand the concept of "all" Captain?
 
SULU: You had sex with Gaila too?
KIRK: Wait, what do you mean "too"?
SCOTTY: I sure rode her thrusters on full, if you catch my drift.
UHURA: Spock and I had a threesome with her, but there was no girl-on-girl action.
SPOCK: Not yet.
 
TURIAN COUNCILOR: "Ah yes-" *Fingerquotes* "Nero" *fingerquotes* "-the so-called time travelling Romulan whose ship came from a lightning storm in space. This council has found no evidence to support his existence."
 
SAREK: Your mother always loved you, Spock. Deeply.


I on the other hand...well...that was a different story after you took my wallet when you were 12.
 
The actual line is: It's time to Kick Ass and Chew Bubble Gum And I'm All Outta Gum!

Sorry, Had to say it eventually.




McCoy: Wait, how old are you Kid?

Chekov: 17 Sir!

McCoy: And how old are you Uhura?

Uhura Slaps McCoy

Uhura: Never ask a lady her age!
 
NERO: The tattoos?

Most of them are an ancient Romulan tradition relating to mourning the dead. But the one on my ass?

A college prank that went HORRIBLY wrong.
 
In another thread, Dennis made comments which reminded me about how the writers' strike had prevented Abrams from adding an impromptu line into the script.

All [Abrams] said during the strike, by way of commiseration with someone on the picket line, was that he'd thought of a great line that day while shooting "Star Trek" and couldn't add it because he was striking (as a writer, but not as a director).

So my question to you good people (and angry bastards) is:

"What was that line?"

There is no doubt in my mind (and all of yours, too) that Star Trek XI will suck to high heaven solely because of the exclusion of that very line.

"But maybe he added the line back in later, Cogley, after the strike was over."

No! He did not! :scream:

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. In fact, if anyone accurately predicts what the missing line was and prints it here, there is the very real possibility that the entire site will be shut down forever by Guild lawyers. So be careful.

So what was that precious line that could have saved Star Trek? And for wont of the line, the franchise was lost.

I'm going to go with: "THE WOMEN!"

"someone please change samuel t cogleys avatar!";)
 
SCOTTY: Keenser? I'm not sure what the bloody hell he IS...but the wee bastard loves starin' at me ass in the sonic shower.
 
UHURA: Receiving a subspace message from Starfleet H.Q., sir...uh-oh...never mind! It appears we've just been RickRolled.
 
NERO: What are these "lolcats" that the Earthmen keep laughing at?

I want ANSWERS, Ayel!!!
