Wrap the code you want to be removeable in its own <script> element,
give it an id, then remove it just like any other element. As has been
discussed today, removing it doesn't mean *poof* it's gone, just that
it could be removed by the garbage collector, so you'll likely be able
to continue calling the function after it's been removed.  See:

http://jsbin.com/ixite/edit

<script id="removeMe" type="text/javascript">
  function hello(msg) { alert(msg); }
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$().ready(function() {
  hello("one");
  $("#removeMe").remove();
  hello("two");
  setTimeout("hello('three')", 2500);
});
</script>

The code gets removed from the DOM (verified using Firebug) but the
function still works 2.5 seconds later.
