INT. SPACE DOCK - CONTROL BOOTH, OVERLOOKING SPACE CRAFT
TWO CONTROLLERS, back to us, sit in the control seats. They control several starships in b.g.
* CONTROLLER ONE: "Excelsior and Intrepid are cleared to depart. Open space dock doors."
Over this, the SOUND OF THE PROBE'S SIGNAL is heard. Almost immediately, Controller Two is in big trouble.
* CONTROLLER TWO: "Sir! Space dock doors are inoperative!"
* CONTROLLER ONE: "Keep trying." (then) "Excelsior and Intrepid stand by! Malfunction on exit doors."
* INTREPID VOICE: "Control, Intrepid. Never mind. We can't get powered up!"
The Two Controllers look at each other as the SOUND OF the Probe's GIBBERISH comes in at DEAFENING VOLUME.
* CONTROLLER TWO: "Space doors not responding. All Emergency systems are non-functional."

Confirmation of the apparency of this scene were later found in two unseen spacedock control LCARS graphics that were later sold separately in two It's A Wrap! sale and auctions in 2007 and 2008, where they fetched US$515.00 and US$487.89 respectively. 
at the end of The Voyage Home.
While one of the panels depicted two abbreviated registries of NX-200 and NC-177, a second, more complete panel, identified the full registries as NX-2000 and NCC-1707, with their matching class silhouettes (Excelsior and Constitution II) and departure routes from the Spacedock displayed. An additional Constitution II and three smaller ships were also shown in the panel. 
The panels in question seemingly corresponded with the dialog in the deleted scene, in as far as the Excelsior is shown pictured to the right of one control booth, with the unseen Constitution II apparently located at an adjacent quadrant of the interior, as per the graphic.
While no Constitution II-class ships were initially shown in the beginning of the film, two yet unidentified Constitution II-class ships did appear, in addition to the at the end of The Voyage Home.

=== Background information ===
Originally, the Star Fleet Technical Manual had stated that the registry NCC-1707 belonged to , which to that point had not been identified in canon, which was later established as NCC-1703 in the remastered version of . ()
Later, Diane Duane's 1984 novel, My Enemy, My Ally, established that a USS Intrepid (NCC-1707) was put into service as the replacement for , lost in . Accordingly, the 1985 FASA published Federation Ship Recognition Manual (second edition, p. 11) depicted a refit-USS Intrepid with the same registry, NCC-1707. 
At that point in time the FASA print materials were the only available reference works and they were known to have occasionally been used as production use sources by among others Michael Okuda, specifically for his okudagrams. Okuda's very first job on Star Trek actually concerned The Voyage Home as "Computer Animation and Tactical Displays" designer (a function later rechristened as "scenic artist"), who could have very well been the designer of the two panels in question, using the above guide as a working reference.
