Several variants of this do occur in the series, such as "Beam me aboard", "Beam us up home", or "Two to beam up", but "Beam me up, Scotty" was never said during the run of the original Star Trek series. The closest Kirk ever came to was in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" when he uttered "Scotty... beam us up." However, "Beam me up, Scotty" was used in Star Trek: The Animated Series. The film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home included the closest other variation: "Scotty, beam me up."
