You got most of my favourite quotes there. 8-)

"You mean I'll have to die before we can discuss your insights on death?"

"A keyboard! How quaint."

"I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space."

"Where are the nuclear wessels?"

Plus...
"Of course he's a Russian spy! But he's a damn retard or something."

"I am sorry, I vill haf to stun you."

"They are not the hell your whales."

"They are not the hell your whales" is a great line, too (and that whole exchange, with Spock's unhelpful attempts at swearing because he believed Jim's erratic explanation of historical linguistics).

It's a great script, all round.
