Captain Kirk – Misquoted

Contrary to popular belief, Captain Kirk never said the words, “Beam me up, Scott” on Star Trek.  He may have said, “Beam me up,” Beam us up,” or “Beam them out of there, Scotty,” but never uttered the catchphrase people have come to associate with the show.

Additionally, Dr. McCoy (aka Bones) never said, “Damn it Jim, I’m a doctor” on the show itself.  He was known to utter an expletive or two in the Star Trek movies, but the networks would have never let a “Damn it” fly.
