Quotes
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : I have a proposal.
Commander Shran : If it involves killing Tellarites, I'm all for it.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : [to Gral] Instead of insulting you to make you feel at home...
Captain Jonathan Archer : [to Shran] and putting up with your arrogance as a sign of my respect - why don't the two of you try behaving like Humans for a change?
Tellarite Ambassador Gral : And you said you wouldn't be insulting?
-
Commander Shran : You're not especially difficult to work with, Captain. Unlike Tellarites, you understand ethics and try to live by them.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Try?
Commander Shran : Well, nobody's perfect.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : This operation is important, considering that it might lead to an alliance of planets.
-
Commander T'Pol : Vulcans have a saying: "One man can summon the future." What happens if that man throws away his life before his time?
Captain Jonathan Archer : If I have learned anything these past few years on Enterprise, it's that... the future isn't fixed.
Commander T'Pol : If anything happens to you...
Captain Jonathan Archer : Then I'd better make sure that nothing does.
-
[during the fight, Archer has gone down]
Commander Shran : Give up. A single stroke and there'll be no pain.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Think I'm losing? I'm just trying to make you look good in front of your soldiers.
-
[Shran has challenged Naarg to Ushaan, a fight to the death]
Captain Jonathan Archer : I spoke to Ambassador Gral, about the rules of the Ushaan. Specifically... the right of substitution.
Commander Shran : The Ambassador's decided to fight in place of his underling?
Captain Jonathan Archer : Not the Ambassador.
Commander Shran : ...You wouldn't!
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm the substitute. You're gonna have to fight me.
Commander Shran : I'm going to have to kill you. You're my friend.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Then call it off.
Commander Shran : [after a pause] I can't.
-
Commander Shran : I'll take your blood to Andoria - to the Wall of Heroes.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Not today.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : Things have a way of turning out differently than we expect.
-
Naarg : We're not a patient people.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I've noticed.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : Did you get through to your people?
Commander T'Pol : Minister T'Pau is dispatching 23 vessels.
Captain Jonathan Archer : That's all?
Commander T'Pol : The High Command has been disbanded. Many of our ships no longer have full crew complements.
Captain Jonathan Archer : T'Pau could have picked a better time to clean house!
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : How about I just win?
-
Commander Shran : My vessel, the Kumari, was named for the first ice cutter to circumnavigate Andoria. Perhaps future ships will be named after our vessels - especially if we do something historic... together.
Captain Jonathan Archer : There's no reason our people can't become allies.
Commander Shran : Agreed.
-
Tellarite Ambassador Gral : I believe we have more to discuss than trade disputes.
[he offers Shran his hand, who accepts it]
Captain Jonathan Archer : Why wait until we get to Babel?
