Offhand, I can think of six of Bones' best I'm not a...lines. 1. "I'm a Doctor, not an escalator!!" Friday's Child 2. "I'm a Doctor, not a bricklayer!!" Wolf in the Fold 3. "I'm a Doctor, not a mechanic!!" Doomsday Machine 4. "I'm a Doctor, not an engineer!!" Mirror, Mirror 5. "I'm a Doctor, not a coalminer!!" The Empath 6. "I'm a Doctor, not a magician!!" The Deadly Years I must admit, I took a slight liberty with the latter one. I believe the exact line occurred from an exchange with Spock, when Spock inquires of McCoy if there is something which would reduce his sensitivity to cold. (The one where everyone ages rapidly, and they give Kirk a mandatory competency hearing, etc..) McCoy's line, I believe, is "I'm not a magician, Spock, just a simple country doctor."

Sorry....have already noticed an error... "I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer," is from Devil in the Dark. Sorry for the goof. dwhitney

My candidate is: "I'm a DOCTOR, not am escalator !!!" From the episode where they beamed down to negotiate a deal for minerals with the natives, get caught in a local power struggle that is agrivated by a klingon, and the High Teire (sp?) has a baby that is named after Kirk and Bones. This is also an episode where Spock seems to show a fair amount emotion, I.E. when Bones is touching the High Teire, and when they anounce the baby's name at the end of the show. By the way, where did Scotty get his Engineering Degree, out of a box of Sugar Coated Tribble Dropings ? He ALWAYS is saying "were losing power an' I don' wye !!!" Seems to me that the Feds sent him along to "know wye" in these matters. Oh well, there one in every crowd. "B,YASFOTROI"
