- Captain Jonathan Archer: Ever since the meld, I've felt more... centered. It's hard to explain. My whole life, I've never really understood Vulcans. Why they work so hard to suppress their emotions. Now it all seems to make sense. Next thing you know, I'll be taking up meditation.
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: Lieutenant Reed appeared unsettled.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Some of the crew're wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Can't say I blame 'em. I'm not so sure myself.
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: I have no doubt Captain Archer would pursue the same course of action.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That's what I keep telling myself.
- Commander T'Pol: Captain!
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You think I've lost my mind?
- Commander T'Pol: I'm not certain your mind is the one making these decisions.
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: [Shran is torturing Sovla by lowering his emotional suppression] Let me out of here!
- Commander Shran: I can't. I'm sorry. Not yet.
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: [roaring] I'll tear the antennae from your skull!
- Commander Shran: If this interrogation continues, your suppression system could be permanently damaged. Tell me what I want to know!
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: Aren't you enjoying this, Commander? Have you imagined having me in this chair many times?
- Commander Shran: That's not far from the truth. But after our rather lengthy peace talks, I came to trust you.
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: Then trust me now!
- Commander Shran: You would never betray your people!
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: I'm trying to save them!
- Commander Shran: Where is your fleet?
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: Do you know the story of Nirak?
- Commander Shran: What?
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: He was a soldier who lived a long time ago. He was standing watch over the gates of the city of Gol and he saw a cloud on the horizon moving toward him. He thought it was a sandstorm, so he told no one. It was an army. They destroyed the city, but they let Nirak live. His name now means "fool" in our language, just as yours will in Andorian!
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: Open a channel.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: To who?
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: The nebula.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [referring to the Syrrannites] I would have thought you'd be more sympathetic to their cause. You never seemed too happy with the status quo around here.
- Commander T'Pol: I may have had disagreements with the High Command. But that doesn't mean I'm going to join a radical faction.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You signed up with Starfleet. A lot of Vulcans I have met consider *us* a radical faction.
- [last lines]
- Talok: [appearing as a Romulan] I must leave Vulcan. My position here has been compromised.
- Administrator V'Las: What about me?
- Talok: Not now. Your disappearance would cause suspicion. This is simply a minor delay. The reunification of our people is only a matter of time.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Have you told Starfleet you're planning to warn the Andorians?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: No.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Have you any idea what the Admiral will do when he finds out?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I'll save you a seat at my court martial.
- Talok: Where are they taking the Kir'Shara?
- Commander T'Pol: Mount Seleya.
- Talok: Why?
- Commander T'Pol: Because the artifact contains Surak's original writings. Only the priests on Seleya can translate them.
- Talok: If you are deceiving me...
- Commander T'Pol: I am a Syrrannite. We don't lie.
- Commander Shran: I just spoke with the Imperial Guard. They're redeploying our forces.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [referring to Soval] Now you believe him. What changed your mind?
- Commander Shran: A lesser man would have told me what I wanted to hear, even if it wasn't true. There's been too much suspicion, too many lies, on both sides.
- T'Pau: [to Archer] You may be witnessing the start of a new era, not only for Vulcan, but for Earth as well.
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: The Minister intends to pursue a less aggressive policy toward your people. The High Command will be dissolved.
- T'Pau: You'll no longer have us looking over your shoulder. It's time for Earth to stand on its own.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: We're ready.
- Minister Kuvak: [V'Las plans an invasion of Andoria, claiming the Andorians have developed Xindi weapon technology to equip their own ships with it] Do you have evidence of this?
- Administrator V'Las: They didn't steal the prototype because they were merely curious. I'm certain of one thing. Sooner or later, the Andorians will make use of this technology. Is it logical for us to wait for that day?
