- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You don't want to end up like me, do ya? I've absorbed enough delta rays to guarantee my grandchildren glow in the dark.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I did you a favor once.
- Lt. Commander T'Pol: We agreed never to discuss that.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: And I haven't.
- Lt. Commander T'Pol: I'd hardly call it a favor. You enjoyed yourself.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Several times, as I recall. So, how many years is it until your pon farr comes around again?
- Captain Maximilian Forrest: [after being shown the new torture booth] There's something to be said for a good old-fashioned flogging.
- Commander Jonathan Archer: Tell me what I want to know!
- [the Tholian is screeching something in his language]
- Lieutenant Hoshi Sato: [translating] Something about... your 'maternal ancestor'.
- Commander Jonathan Archer: I know Admiral Black has an agent on Enterprise. I want the name.
- Captain Maximilian Forrest: Do you really think that the Admiral would plant a spy on *my* ship, and then tell *me* who it is?
- Lieutenant Hoshi Sato: Tradition says that whatever... belonged to the previous captain... is yours for the taking.
- Commander Jonathan Archer: [grabs her a little roughly] I've never been one to argue with tradition.
- [kisses her hard on the lips]
- Commander Jonathan Archer: You'll accept orders from me and me alone. Is that clear?
- MACO Sergeant Travis Mayweather: Yes, sir. And Captain, if I may? I'd like to be the first to congratulate you on a brilliant strategy. I'm certain that in years to come...
- Commander Jonathan Archer: You already have the job, Sergeant. Don't talk yourself out of it.
- Commander Jonathan Archer: All I require from you is your loyalty. Do I have it?
- Lt. Commander T'Pol: You are in command.
- Commander Jonathan Archer: I'm glad we can agree on something.
- [Phlox is adjusting life support for the Tholian, who is screaming]
- Dr. Phlox: If you're angry now, just wait.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [referring to the warp reactor] They say for every year you spend next to one of these things, you lose a decade of your life expectancy. Which means I'll probably be dead by the end of the week.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You're gonna regret what you did!
- Lt. Commander T'Pol: Threats are illogical.
- Commander Jonathan Archer: I wonder how history would have played out if Cochrane hadn't turned the tables on your invasion force. Humans might be your slaves instead of the other way around.
- Lt. Commander T'Pol: I'm not a slave.
- Commander Jonathan Archer: You're Vulcan. Never forget that!
