- Captain Jonathan Archer: You tried to destroy my ship. Why? Answer me!
- The Alien: When the Xindi destroy Earth, my people will prevail.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I've noticed that you and Corporal Cole have become somewhat friendly.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Friendly?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Last week, you were eating together in the mess hall, and in the training session yesterday, she touched your behind.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [chuckles, embarrassed] You've been keeping a pretty close eye on us.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: You're hard to miss.
- [Tucker and T'Pol in another neuro-pressure session]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You aren't saying much tonight. Don't tell me you're still upset about me and Amanda.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: No, I'm not upset.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Sure sounds like it.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: You're mistaken.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Why would a few neuro-pressure sessions between me and a MACO be such a big deal? Unless...
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Unless what?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Unless you're... a little jealous.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I don't experience jealousy.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You're doing a pretty fair imitation of it.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I am not, in any way, jealous of you and Corporal Cole.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You know, your voice is tensing up. It's a dead giveaway.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I didn't know you were an expert in vocal inflections.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I don't need to be an expert to read you. Come on, admit it. You're a little jealous.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: You're implying that I'm attracted to you?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That kinda goes along with the assumption, doesn't it?
- [Reed and Hayes are in the middle of a heavy fight, when a surprised crewman passes by]
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: As you were.
- [continues fighting]
- [Archer is grilling Reed and Hayes about their violent encounter]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: We're in a dangerous region of space. We're trying to stop an alien race from destroying Earth. We face attacks from all sides, enemies everywhere we go. The last thing I need is to hear that two of my senior officers have been admitted to sickbay, because they suddenly regressed to the level of five-year-olds!
- [during the interrogation, Archer is called away, leaving Reed and Hayes in his ready room]
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: [still standing at attention] Think we're dismissed?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: [about Tucker's clone Sim] He said he had feelings for me.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: He told you that?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Standing right there.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: What the hell was he doing in your room?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Your voice is tensing up.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Oh, now you're the vocal expert?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I don't need to be an expert to read you.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I can't believe this. I'm... I'm jealous... of-of myself?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: You're jealous?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: No, absolutely not. - Ok, maybe. Maybe I am - a little.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Which would mean you're attracted to me.
- [Tucker looks at her quizzically]
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: It goes with the assumption.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Dr.Phlox says you have a detached retina. A bruised left kidney. We're in a dangerous region of space. We're trying to stop an alien race from destroying earth, we face attacks from all sides, enemies everywhere we go. The last thing I need to hear is that two of my senior officers have been admitted to sick bay because they suddenly regressed to the level of five-year-olds!
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Captain...
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Don't try to tell me who started it! I don't know what the problem is between you two, and to tell you the truth I don't care, but I want it settled right now! SETTLE IT! That's an order!
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: There's no problem, Captain.
- Major Hayes: It's settled, sir.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: How are the drills going?
- Major Hayes: Good, sir.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Very good, sir.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: [Captain called away by Dr. Phlox] Think we're dismissed?
- Major Hayes: [Looks uncertain]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That target practice was somethin'. Sure looked a lot easier than it was.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: You don't say.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Ah, come on. Your score got a lot better as the session went on.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: I started picturing Hayes's head in place of the target.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You two really ought to declare a truce.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Oh, no. This is a fight to the death.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: And why were you giving Amanda Cole neuro-pressure anyway?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: What's it to you?
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Well, from what I'm told, it's a pretty intimate procedure - for 'just friends'.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I do it with T'Pol. Are you implying there's something going on there as well?
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: That's the rumor.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Look - for the last time: there's nothin' going on with any of us - between any of us.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Right. You're all... just friends.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That's right.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Huh... I guess this Vulcan neuro-pressure isn't that intimate after all.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Exactly.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: In that case... I've a nasty little pain just...
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Just drop it!
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [referring to the alien] I wanna talk to him again.
- Dr. Phlox: I don't even know if I can revive him.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Find a way.
- Dr. Phlox: Captain, this man is dying a painful death. To keep him conscious is unethical.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Until I get the answers I need, we're going to have to bend a few ethics.
