Quotes 

• Commander Shran : I'd rather cohabit with Klingon targs than join forces with Tellarites!

  Tellarite Ambassador Gral : Your personal mating preference is no concern of mine.

• Captain Jonathan Archer : I have a proposal.

  Commander Shran : If it involves killing Tellarites, I'm all for it.

• Commander Shran : [to Talas]  I think this Denobulan doctor... is secretly in love with you. He wants to keep you to himself.

• 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.

• [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.

• Commander Shran : What good is a Guardsman without two antennae?

• Lieutenant Talas : That Tellarite pig.

  Commander Shran : Is there any other kind?

• 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.
