Picard said “Engage” in addition to “Make it so.” You’re probably thinking of “Energize...” when Kirk and company beamed away somewhere.

Shatner had that odd cadence when speaking his lines that comics have lampooned for decades. Other catchphrases and tropes (that have at least caught on if only said rarely) from the original series:

Kirk:
“Scotty, I need more power.”
“Scotty, beam us up” or “Scotty, [x] to beam up.”
“Standard orbit, Mr. Sulu” and “Take us out of orbit, Mr. Sulu.”
“Open a channel...”

Spock:
“Fascinating.”
“Life, Captain. But not as we know it.”
“Pure energy...”
“Logic suggests...”
“Really, doctor...”

Scotty:
“She’s givin’ us everything she’s got, Cap’n.”
“I can’t change the laws of Phyics, Cap’n.”

McCoy:
“He’s dead, Jim.”
“I’m a doctor, not a...”
“You green-blooded...”

Uhura:
“Channel/hailing frequency open.”

Checkov:
“Ah, yes!. A Russian...!”
“Noo-klee-uhr wessels!” (From Search for Spock)
