    it’s a line from the opening of ST:V - The Final Frontier.

    [ Spock - in rocket boots- flies up to Kirk, who is ascending the face of El Capitan ]

    KIRK: Spock, I’m trying to make an ascent here. Go bother Doctor McCoy!

      Between how long they had known each other at that point and the situation Kirk was in, I find calling him “Doctor McCoy” very jarring.
