- Dr. Phlox: When I asked you to bring me a subject for dissection, I assumed he'd already be dead.
- General K'Vagh: He won't be alive much longer.
- Dr. Phlox: [Antaak approaches the patient with a hypospray, but Phlox stops him] What do you think you're doing?
- Antaak: Euthanizing him.
- Dr. Phlox: Out of the question! I thought you were committed to saving lives.
- Antaak: It is more honorable to give one's life to medical research than to die for no purpose!
- Dr. Phlox: That choice is not ours to make!
- General K'Vagh: [K'Vagh draws his disrupter and shoots the patient] Proceed.
- Dr. Phlox: There are a lot of Starfleet people here.
- Ensign Hoshi Sato: That's probably my fault. I told a few friends about the place.
- Dr. Phlox: A *few*?
- Ensign Hoshi Sato: I'm a comm officer. If there's one thing I know how to do, it's disseminate information.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I was gettin' a little too comfortable on Enterprise. Got a lot of friends over there, but... sometimes it's easier to work with people who are just colleagues.
- Captain Erika Hernandez: Commander, drop by the quartermaster's at the end of your shift.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Ma'am?
- Captain Erika Hernandez: Might wanna...
- [pats her Columbia badge]
- Captain Erika Hernandez: ... update your uniform.
- Dr. Phlox: We should contact the IME. They may have seen this mutation before. I'm certain they'll be willing to share their database with us. I know of a few... indirect channels. No one would have to know.
- Antaak: There's no reason to contact them. We've acquired their entire database.
- [he hands Phlox a data rod]
- Dr. Phlox: You stole it?
- Antaak: Medical research isn't a priority for the High Council. I am forced to obtain information however I can.
- Dr. Phlox: That doesn't sound very honorable.
- Antaak: Given the choice between honor and saving lives, I choose the latter.
- Antaak: You must forgive the General's conduct. The warrior caste has little use for social protocols.
- [in a barren, white environment]
- Commander T'Pol: Why are you here?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I was about to ask you the same thing. Is this a daydream?
- Commander T'Pol: I'm meditating. This is where I go in my mind.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Well... I would have thought you'd pick a more interesting place. Like the beach, or... or one of those Fire Plains you showed me.
- Commander T'Pol: Please leave.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Exactly where am I supposed to go?
- Commander T'Pol: Away.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: This is *my* daydream. *You* go away!
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I don't know who's in charge of your mess hall, but he could give the chef on Enterprise a run for his money.
- Captain Erika Hernandez: I stole him from the Republic. Captain Jennings said I could have anything I wanted when I left. So I took his cook.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: I'm being compromised, sir. And I don't like it.
- Harris: Then I suggest you adjust your comfort level, Lieutenant.
- Commander T'Pol: Are you leaving because of me?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Well, Starfleet's approved the transfer.
- Commander T'Pol: You didn't answer my question.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [sighs] This may come as a shock; but not everything in my life revolves around you.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Phlox is my friend. Do you know where he is?
- Harris: We have an assignment for you.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: I wasn't aware that I was still a part of your section.
- Harris: There's a job that needs doing, Lieutenant. It may be the only way to save your friend's life.
