- Nurse Christine Chapel: Spock one last thing. You said on the bridge, you suddenly realized the identity of the prisoner that Angel was trying to free.
- Spock: Yes. Things they said were very specific to one Vulcan in particular.
- Nurse Christine Chapel: Who?
- Spock: Ambassador Sarek had a child out of wedlock. He, although full Vulcan, has rejected the teachings of logic
- Nurse Christine Chapel: He one of the V'tosh Ka'tur
- Spock: Yes
- Nurse Christine Chapel: Isn't Ambassador Sarek your father as well?
- Spock: Yes. I believe Xavarius to be an assumed name. I believe the Vulcan that Angel was attempting to free is someone I was told to avoid at all cost. My half brother, Sybock.
- Captain Christopher Pike: Erica, take us closer, please.
- Erica Ortegas: How close do you want to get? First date or third date?
- Captain Christopher Pike: Blind date.
- Erica Ortegas: Copy. Proceeding with caution, sir.
- Captain Christopher Pike: [in pirate voice] Arrrgh, me mateys. If we ever catch Angel, we should make them walk the plank, arrrgh.
- Una Chin-Riley: [struggling to keep a straight face] Please stop.
- Spock: [Whispering to Nurse Chapel] I apologize in advance for any liberties I take. Please follow my lead.
- Nurse Christine Chapel: Okay.
- Una Chin-Riley: Unauthorized trips into non federation space. Heading up away missions, someone is playing fast and loose with the rules today.
- Captain Christopher Pike: Who me, the boy scout?
- Captain Christopher Pike: [after firing on the Enterprise] I am only going to tell you this once. Get the Hell Out of My Chair.
- Dr. Aspen: I told a nice little story that I knew would bring you out here and you believed me. Frankly that's on you.
- [She shrugs while sitting down in the Captains' Chair]
- [aboard a pirate vessel, attempting to retake their own ship]
- Captain Christopher Pike: Fire to disable impulse thrusters. But... gently?
- Erica Ortegas: Aye, sir.
- [on the viewscreen, four torpedoes strike the Enterprise hull]
- Captain Christopher Pike: Hey! I... I said gently?
- Erica Ortegas: What does 'firing gently' even mean?
