Argh!

No one ever said "Beam Me Up Scotty" in the Star Trek Series. Very famous misquote, just like "Play it again Sam"

"Scottie, prepare to beam up."
"Energise"

From Wikipedia:

In the Original Series episodes "The Gamesters of Triskelion" and "The Savage Curtain", Kirk said, "Scotty, beam us up"; in the animated episodes "The Lorelei Signal" and "The Infinite Vulcan", when he said, "Beam us up, Scotty"; in Star Trek IV, saying, "Scotty, beam me up"; and in Star Trek Generations, by saying, "Beam them out of there, Scotty". The phrase was used on a bumper sticker with the tag line "Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here." The complete phrase was eventually said by William Shatner in the audio adaptation of his novel Star Trek: The Ashes of Eden.

Why does "want" have an apostrophe in that cartoon?

Ignorance I am sure. It is, as I am sure you know Ron, a common misspelling of want and won't. But that said, I believe wan't is an old English contraction for want not.

Not to be confused with the similar but totally different word "wont" - as in "as is my wont".
