    Some good examples here. I’d just mention a few other memorable dialogue scenes:

    • all the scenes of McCoy with Spock’s Katra in ST:III, including lines like “Yes, Genesis! How can you be deaf with ears like that?” and “Where’s the logic in offering me a ride home, you idiot? If I wanted a ride home, would I be trying to charter a space flight?”
    • in Star Trek IV, the scene with Kirk and Spock in Gillian’s pickup, with Nimoy doing his best Gracie Allen impression. Also, the “No dipshit” bit in the restaurant.

        Nimoy was a very funny guy! Great comedy instincts! You get another tiny glimpse of it with Spock’s line “I’ve been dead before” in ST:VI. It’s almost a throwaway, and said without emotion, but it’s pretty funny!

          My favourite deadpan funny line delivery of Nimoy’s is this exchange from The Wrath of Khan:

          Kirk: I would not presume to debate you.
          Spock: That is wise.
