It comes out in casual conversation between Kirk, McCoy and Amanada (Spock's human mother) that Spock had a "teddy bear" when he was younger. Spock walks over, and seeing McCoy`s obviously impish grin, says something to the effect of "yes, but on Vulcan, teddy bears are 7 feet tall and have VERY sharp claws". The pet was called, I believe, a "Sheelat." Also, adding to the long gone list of Bones cries of dismay, in "Friday's Child" (Cappellans, Klingons, and pregnant woman), McCoy is helping the pregnant woman up a steep slope: "Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor, not an escalator" Eric Holtman harpo!whuxlb!eric
