Quotes
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : A farm?
Sub-Commander T'Pol : It's remote and sparsely populated. If you're exposed, there's a reduced risk of cultural contamination.
Captain Jonathan Archer : This must be why aliens are always landing in cornfields.
-
[Archer is being briefed by T'Pol on several phenomena the crew has detected, all of which seem rather uninteresting]
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : There is one other thing might be worth swinging by to take a look: a Minshara class planet, about four and a half light years away.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Any life signs?
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Only about 500 million.
[Archer laughs in disbelief]
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : If our scans are right, it looks like there's a whole civilization down there.
[all Humans laugh with excitement]
Captain Jonathan Archer : [to T'Pol] You might have put that on the top of the list!
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : Seventy-eight light years to get here and our first act is breaking and entering.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Maybe you don't have to mention this part in your log.
-
[Archer has introduced T'Pol to Riann]
Riann : You two are from the same province?
Captain Jonathan Archer : Not exactly.
Riann : Must be difficult to make friends when you keep so much to yourself.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm sorry, I don't mean to be evasive.
Riann : Yes, you do.
-
Sub-Commander T'Pol : The longer you remain, the more you risk cultural contamination.
Captain Jonathan Archer : These people are suffering from something a lot worse than cultural contamination. We've got to find out what it is.
-
Garos : You're not from this province, are you?
Captain Jonathan Archer : [scanning Garos] No. And neither are you. Your DNA doesn't match any other life form on this planet.
[Garos takes out a scanning device of his own to check out Archer]
Garos : Nor does yours.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : We're trying to help these people. What you're doing here is contaminating their water supply.
Garos : There are 500 million Akaali on this planet. A few thousand won't be missed.
-
[last lines]
Riann : Where's your starship headed now?
Captain Jonathan Archer : There're lots of inhabited planets to see. But I doubt many'll be this memorable.
[he kisses her]
Riann : Is your translator broken again?
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm sorry? I... don't understand a word you're saying.
[they kiss again]
-
Captain Archer : If you enjoy the simple life so much, why do you have an antimatter reactor in your basement?
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : Let's try not to shoot anyone else while we're here, okay?
Sub-Commander T'Pol : I'll try.
[after T'Pol has stunned Riann]
