- Traeg: I'm curious about your starship. What can you tell me about it?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Our protein resequencer can make chicken sandwiches.
- Dr. Phlox: You realize you are not the first Vulcan officer to be posted aboard a Human starship? The High Command has tried this before, but none of the others lasted more than a... few weeks. They found their crew mates too chaotic and unpredictable. But you've been here more than six months, and you haven't merely tolerated this crew, you've become part of it. Isn't it logical to take pride in that accomplishment?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Pride is a Human indulgence.
- Dr. Phlox: I suppose it is.
- Captain Sopek: I want to know where that shuttlepod was going.
- Ensign Hoshi Sato: What shuttlepod is that?
- Captain Sopek: The one that left your launch bay nine minutes ago.
- Ensign Hoshi Sato: I really wouldn't know, sir, we... we get shuttlepods coming and going all the time. It's a little like Union Station around here.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Sir, I've got a rescue team standing by in the launch bay.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Hold on, Malcolm. We don't even know if this is our pod. I don't wanna go down and find it's some... alien tractor.
- [Captain Sopek has asked for T'Pol, in order to take her back to Vulcan]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: She's not here either. She and the Captain were on their way to the capital city when they were kidnapped.
- Captain Sopek: How convenient.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I'm telling you, they were kidnapped.
- Captain Sopek: How do you know this?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Maybe the ransom demand we just received gave us a clue! They threatened to kill 'em both if we didn't give 'em what they want.
- Captain Sopek: It would be irrational to kill the hostages. They would lose their negotiating position.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Maybe we're not dealing with the most rational people down there, did you consider that?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: We met up with some old friends down here - Andorians. Apparently one of them thinks he owes you a favor.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: He couldn't have picked a better time.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: One of the people guarding you is working with them. When he unties you, head for the gate. It's about twenty meters from the building you're in. Until he shows up, just sit tight.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: That won't be a problem.
- [Archer and T'Pol are tightly bound]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Your people took something away... from my father that meant a lot to him. They're not gonna do the same thing to me.
- [last lines]
- [after being shot, T'Pol has been advised to stay in sickbay for another 24 hours]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You made... quite an impression on Sopek. I've... got a feeling he's going to talk to the High Command about that transfer order. I'd say the odds are pretty good you're gonna be with us for a while longer.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: You should have consulted me first.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: It's probably not too late, if you want to catch up to him.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: [after some consideration] That won't be possible. Leaving sickbay would violate my doctor's orders.
