"He's dead, Jim."
Twenty times on the original Star Trek, McCoy declares someone or something deceased with the line, "He's dead", "He's dead, Jim", or something similar; the phrase is considered a catchphrase of the character,[31][32][33] although actor Kelley disliked repeating such lines,[4]:166 and refused to say it on The Wrath of Khan when Spock is near death; James Doohan as Montgomery Scott says "He's dead already" instead.[4]:249 The line has entered popular culture as a general metaphor, with uses as diverse as descriptions of an unresponsive electronic circuit,[34] an example of how to add an audio file to function as an alert sound in a computer system,[35] and an illustrative quote regarding how to know if one's opponent has been destroyed in an action hero game.[36] USC Literature Professor Henry Jenkins cited Dr. McCoy's "He's dead, Jim" line as an example of fans actively participating in the creation of an underground culture in which they derive pleasure by repeating memorable lines as part of constructing new mythologies and alternative social communities.[37] One including Google, as they use this line in Google Chrome as an error message that comes up when the user's operating system terminates the browser or a running tab due to a error.[38] Kelley joked that the line would appear on his tombstone.[33]
[edit]"I'm a doctor, not a(n)..."
Another of McCoy's catchphrases is his "I'm a doctor, (Jim) not a(n)..." statements,[39] used 11 times.[4]:166 McCoy repeats the line when he must perform some task beyond his medical skills, such as the "classic moment" when he is confronted with the unusual silicon-based Horta alien in "Devil in the Dark" (1967), saying, "I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer."[40] Dr. Julian Bashir (Alexander Siddig) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: First Contact and Dr. Phlox from Star Trek: Enterprise all use variations of the line, which has also made its way into many other shows such as Stargate Atlantis,[41] Robot Chicken[42], Terra Nova,[43] and Friends. In a parody sketch titled "The Restaurant Enterprise", on an episode of Saturday Night Live, Kirk (guest host William Shatner) directs McCoy (Phil Hartman) to help a man who's choking. McCoy snaps, "Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a ... (suddenly realizes the situation; slightly embarrassed) Oh ... oh, sure." On an episode of In Living Color, one parody sketch lampoons the advanced age of the principal Star Trek actors. "Bones" appears as a skeleton in a wheelchair, and quips, "Dammit, Jim! I'm a corpse, not a doctor!" DeForest Kelley himself parodied the phrase for a Trivial Pursuit commercial ("How should I know? I'm an actor, not a doctor").[44][45] The phrase also appears in the 2009 reboot, in which McCoy (Karl Urban) says "I'm a doctor, not a physicist" to Spock.
