        it’s a line from the opening of ST:V - The Final Frontier.

        [ Spock - in rocket boots- flies up to Kirk, who is ascending the face of El Capitan ]

        KIRK: Spock, I’m trying to make an ascent here. Go bother Doctor McCoy!

          Between how long they had known each other at that point and the situation Kirk was in, I find calling him “Doctor McCoy” very jarring.

            It was the very beginning of a movie that not everyone had seen the prequel to. If it had been a TV episode, Kirk would’ve just said “bones”
