The deleted scene, which premiered on USA Today, features a more low-key moment between Kirk and Scotty. It's a short conversation between the two after they arrive at Starbase Yorktown for some R&R. Scotty has other plans when Kirk asks him to hang out.
In the film, Kirk is strongly considering retiring from the USS Enterprise to accept a position as Vice Admiral in charge of Yorktown. And this deleted scene shows not only Kirk struggline to find a personal life outside of work but also how he is out of his element without a starship to oversee. The completed film has the quick pace that has become synonymous with producer JJ Abrams, so it's easy to see how a more quiet moment like this could end up on the cutting room floor.
