Captain Jonathan Archer : You're taking over my crew! Why?
Alien in Sato's body : I understand how you may be frightened by all this - losing your substance, existing as perceptive energy. But you'll be grateful, once you've made the crossing, I promise you.
Captain Jonathan Archer : We're kind of fond of our substance. We're not very anxious to give it up!

[guided by Archer over comm, Phlox tries to pull off a panel]
Dr. Phlox : It's not coming off.
Captain Jonathan Archer : It'll come off. You just need to use a little muscle.
[Phlox tries harder, without success]
Dr. Phlox : I've used every muscle I've got. It won't budge.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Try using your foot for leverage.
[Phlox does so, and the panel comes off, sending him flyling backwards and crashing headfirst against the opposite bulkhead]
Dr. Phlox : Good suggestion.

Captain Jonathan Archer : Where do you come from?
Alien in Tucker's body : We live in subspace. We travel through it. We're explorers, like you.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Why did you take Commander Tucker?
Alien in Tucker's body : It's been a long time since we've encountered corporeal beings. After we performed the first crossing with your Commander, we realized we were compatible. You're very interesting - trapped in bodies that need maintenance... You have gender. You require mates to reproduce. You eat... food! We were like you once. But we evolved. Now we can learn how our ancestors lived.
