- Commander T'Pol: Trip, the moment Phlox said that the child was ours, I knew it was true.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: But you said you'd never been...
- Commander T'Pol: I haven't.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Then what are you saying?
- Commander T'Pol: I can't explain how it exits, but I know it does. There's a child out there, and it's ours.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: How do you know that?
- Commander T'Pol: I'm Vulcan.
- John Frederick Paxton: 'No' is a word that Starfleet better get used to hearing from now on. Because up until today, it's always been 'yes', hasn't it? Yes, yes, go right ahead, roam the stars. Yes, inform potentially hostile species of the whereabouts of Earth. Yes, entrust the entire future of our world to non-Human creatures, who don't even feel like we do. Yes, promote the total degradation of mankind, by encouraging alien-Human... relations. Well, 'yes' is a word that ends here and now! I'm returning Earth to its rightful owners. I am giving Earth back to Humanity, back to Human beings. It is my life's work; it is what I was born to do. And there is no one, not an alien, not a Human, that will stop me from achieving it.
- Nathan Samuels: Having endured a catastrophic world war, Earth's governments came to this city for the purpose of creating a just and lasting peace among nations. Today, we have assembled here again representatives of numerous worlds to forge an unprecedented alliance. With this coalition of planets, we seek to strengthen our bonds of friendship, render permanent the peace that now exists among us for the ongoing exploration of our galaxy. Let us dedicate ourselves to these worthy goals so that future generations can look back upon this moment with pride and eternal gratitude. Thank you.
- Commander T'Pol: You've set a formidable goal. The drafting of a charter in six weeks?
- Nathan Samuels: I've always believed that formidable goals produce formidable results.
- Nathan Samuels: These universal translators work perfectly, thanks to you.
- Ensign Hoshi Sato: I just updated them with a few things we picked up on the mission.
- Nathan Samuels: Whatever you did, they're extremely precise. Though, when I'm listening to the Tellarite ambassador, I wish they were just a little less precise.
- Harris: The child belongs to two of your crewmen. You tell me.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: They claim they know nothing about it.
- Harris: That doesn't seem likely, does it?
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: I believe them.
- Harris: I admire your loyalty.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You know, my father always wanted a granddaughter. Bugged my sister about it constantly.
- Dr. Phlox: It seems he got his wish.
- [Archer has found out that Samuels was once a member of Terra Prime]
- Nathan Samuels: I was very young when I joined Terra Prime.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You were eighteen.
- Nathan Samuels: Didn't you make any questionable choices when you were that age, Captain? It was a stupid mistake. I was a fool. My father had died in a freighter accident, and I blamed the pilot who happened to be Denobulan. We all have our demons. I've exorcized mine.
- [T'Pol has been captured by Greaves]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [trying to attack Greaves] What did you do to her?
- Daniel Greaves: Not nearly enough.
- John Frederick Paxton: It's not worth it, Romeo. Juliet's in good hands.
- [Josiah is complaining about the aliens on Earth and in the Orpheus mining facility]
- Josiah: Least, there aren't as many of 'em up here. Seems like everywhere you go, Humans are getting to be an endangered species.
- [last lines]
- John Frederick Paxton: A new era is at hand. An era that will expose the concept of interspecies unity as an absolute and vicious lie. An era that will witness the advent of a Human-centered consciousness that will place our world before all others. As of this moment, mankind casts off the shackles of alien interference and now determines its own fate. Terra Prime... forever.
- Ensign Travis Mayweather: [about Enterprise's shuttlepods] I've always had a tendency to get attached to machines. It's crazy, but every time we use the transporter, I... feel we're kind of turning our backs on these guys.
- John Frederick Paxton: [looking at a baby] She looks so innocent. It's almost possible to forget what she represents.
- Mercer: I feel no differently about it than anyone else that I've treated.
- John Frederick Paxton: This isn't "anyone else." This is an abomination. And when the time comes, it will be treated as such.
- Dr. Phlox: Vulcan and Human physiology are not all that dissimilar. From the evidence I have, there's no reason to believe she's anything but perfectly healthy.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That's good to hear.
- Dr. Phlox: You'll also be interested to know she has your eyes and T'Pol's ears.
