- Captain Jonathan Archer: They even fixed the squeak in the floor. Starting to wonder if we had a gremlin under the deck plating.
- [T'Pol gives him a questioning look]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: A mythical creature. British pilots used to blame them for problems they couldn't explain.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Perhaps I should scan for one.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: It can't be ethical to cause a patient this much pain.
- Dr. Phlox: It's unethical to harm a patient; I can inflict as much pain as I like.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: We're explorers. Where's your spirit of adventure?
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: I left it in a Romulan minefield.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: [on the device that is treating his leg] Are you sure this thing knows what it's doing?
- Dr. Phlox: That's the third time you've asked.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: You didn't answer me the first two times.
- [Tucker inspects the space dock's analysis of Enterprise's damages]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [pointing at an area of the simulation] I'll be damned. We scratched the hull right there, a year ago. I bumped it with the inspection pod, remember?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: I thought I told you to have that repainted.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I was gettin' around to it.
- Dr. Phlox: The wound might heal faster if you'd allow me to apply a few more Regulan bloodworms.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: You're not putting any more of those things inside my leg. You still haven't found the last one.
- [Phlox has discovered something odd during Travis' autopsy]
- Archer: Did you find something?
- Dr. Phlox: As a matter of fact, I did. This is not Ensign Mayweather.
- Archer: What?
- Dr. Phlox: It's a nearly perfect replica. I've never seen a lifeform duplicated in such extraordinary detail, from its epidermis down to its cellular proteins. This is remarkable work.
- Archer: If it's so perfect, how do you know it's not him?
- Dr. Phlox: You recall what happened to Crewman Fisher last month after our visit to Tessik Prime?
- Archer: He came down with Rigelian fever.
- Dr. Phlox: I inoculated the entire crew to prevent an outbreak. Would you mind rolling up your sleeve?
- [Phlox puts a cuff over Archer's wrist and shows his bloodstream on the monitor]
- Dr. Phlox: The vaccine contained millions of genetically altered microbes. Most of them are still in your bloodstream. They typically survive for, oh, at least several weeks.
- [Phlox places a cuff on the corpse]
- Dr. Phlox: Every one of the alien microbes in this body is dead.
- Archer: Couldn't they have been killed by the isolytic shock?
- Dr. Phlox: These microbes thrive on isolytic energy. If anything, they would have multiplied. I believe that someone, or something, has abducted Ensign Mayweather and left this facsimile in his place.
- Archer: Apparently bulkheads aren't the only thing this station can replicate.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: I know you don't... put a lot of faith in your feelings, but... I've learned to trust mine. Something doesn't smell right.
- Dr. Phlox: [examining a corpse] Subject's name: Ensign Travis Mayweather, Human male. Weight: 72 kilograms. Age: 26 Earth years - far too young to be on this table.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [to Reed] You've made it clear to me that you think discipline aboard Enterprise has gotten a little too lax. I'm beginning to agree with you.
- [after Reed and Tucker have unsuccessfully tried to circumvent a security barrier in the space station]
- Dr. Phlox: It's ironic in a way. The station can duplicate a dead human body in all its exquisite detail, yet a living, simple, one-celled organism is beyond its capability.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [to station computer] On my world, we have an expression: "Customer is always right." Maybe you should make that part of your program.
- Ensign Hoshi Sato: I was hoping it was another one of his practical jokes. Travis called me down to decon a few weeks ago. He said that he brought some kind of gelatinous life form aboard. He said it might be sentient and that the captain needed me to figure out how to communicate with it.
- Dr. Phlox: I don't recall that.
- Ensign Hoshi Sato: There was no life form. It was only strawberry gelatin.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: We've answered enough calls for help over the past year. It's time someone returned the favor.
