(Abridged - pun noted)
In "The Naked Time" (Star Trek episode #7), Riley locks
himself in the engine room. While trying to regain access to the engine
room from just outside that room's entrance.
SCOTT (to an engineer): Get up to my office and pull the plans for this bulkhead.
SCOTT: Engineering to bridge.
SCOTT (to Kirk): Captain, you can't mix matter and antimatter cold! We'd go up in the biggest explosion since --
KIRK: We can balance our engines into a controlled implosion.
SCOTT: That's only a theory. It's never been done.
(I'm not a Trekkie who continued to follow the series after the original, but I DID remember this line from the original series. Surfing for it brought up the above link.)
