"(You're a) carcass full of memory banks who should be squatting on a mushroom, instead of passing himself off as a man. You belong in a circus, Spock, not a starship ... right next to the dog-faced boy!" 
Another great one from the first season. Kirk did a memorable job of explaining how man unfortunately "wasn't made" for paradise, and it was really fascinating (pun? OK maybe) to see Spock human-like and in love ("I can love you!").
Thought it was poignant when it ends with Spock lamenting, "For the first time in my life, I was happy." Reminded me of the end of the later episode "A Private Little War", where it ended sadly but with great effect.

And wasn't this the one where McCoy went into his country doctor schtick, drinking mint juleps and such? Kirk was not amused by any of it. 
That's a recurring theme, that life isn't real unless defined by challenge. Kirk destroyed paradise for another culture when he phasered their rock-cave-god (Baal?) from orbit, and he shrugged it off as being good for them. His justification? It was threatening his ship, and as we know, nothing is more important than Kirk's ship, in particular, The Prime Directive. I always imagined Kirk's toilet paper was printed with it.
