- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [referring to their daughter] I guess we shouldn't keep calling her 'she'.
- Commander T'Pol: Elizabeth.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: My sister would have liked that.
- Dr. Phlox: When you invited me to join this crew, I thought it would be an interesting diversion for a few months - some time away from the complications of family, which, on Denobula, can be extremely complicated. I didn't expect to gain another family.
- Commander T'Pol: [holding her baby] Hello.
- [pause]
- Commander T'Pol: I'm your mother.
- [pause]
- Commander T'Pol: You're going to need a name. We should discuss that with your father.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: [after landing on Mars] 32!
- Dr. Phlox: Hmm?
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: This is the 32nd planet I've set foot on.
- Dr. Phlox: [chuckles] 248!
- Harris: No one can get within a thousand kilometers of the verteron array without being detected.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: And you're going to tell me how.
- Harris: What makes you think I even have that information?
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Because your section routinely thinks about the unthinkable, and because you'd never miss a chance to put me in your debt.
- Harris: You're a good judge of character.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [speaking to the alien delegates] Up until about a hundred years ago... there was one question that burned in every Human - that made us study the stars and dream of traveling to them: "Are we alone?" Our generation is privileged to know the answer to that question. We are all explorers, driven to know what's over the horizon, what's beyond our own shores. And yet... the more I've experienced, the more I've learned... that no matter how far we travel, or how fast we get there... the most profound discoveries are not necessarily beyond that next star. They're within us - woven into the threads that bind us - all of us - to each other. The final frontier begins in this hall. Let's explore it together.
- Andorian Ambassador Thoris: There are protesters chanting outside the Andorian Embassy. And they're using words that aren't in the universal translator.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You ever actually met a Vulcan?
- Daniel Greaves: Your friend. She was the first.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: If you got to know some, actually took the time to talk with one...
- Daniel Greaves: Yeah, well, you obviously did more than talk. And look what you've got for your trouble - some half-Human *thing*?
- [Tucker makes a threatening move toward Greaves]
- Daniel Greaves: [sneers] Go ahead.
- [Tucker hesitates for an instant]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: OK.
- [punches Greaves in the face]
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Well, that was fun. Can we do it again?
- [after flying through the collision of a comet with Mars]
- [T'Pol has found out that Paxton is suffering from Taggart's Syndrome and treating it with an alien therapy]
- Commander T'Pol: The very thing you're warning Humans to avoid is what's keeping you alive: alien knowledge, freely shared. You're not only a terrorist, you're a hypocrite.
- John Frederick Paxton: I'm not the first significant leader who failed to measure up to his own ideals.
- Commander T'Pol: You're not significant!
- John Frederick Paxton: History will determine that!
- John Frederick Paxton: My father never asked anything from anyone. His mining operations transformed the moon - from a mere colony into a completely self-sufficient world. And *that* is how we should go to the stars - taking the worlds we need and taming them, with Human hands and Human minds and Human souls.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: That might have worked for the moon. But the galaxy is a lot more crowded than we thought.
- John Frederick Paxton: That's not our problem.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: It's an opportunity.
- Dr. Phlox: [as Malcolm experiences motion sickness during the ride in the comet's tail] Would you like me to give you something?
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: No, I've already had the maximum dosage.
- Dr. Phlox: Here's a bag.
- Commander T'Pol: Her medical readings appear normal.
- John Frederick Paxton: There's nothing normal about it.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: She's not an 'it'!
- John Frederick Paxton: We do not seek war; but if the aliens do not leave and force us to fight, I make this solemn promise to all of the sons and daughters of Earth, our future will be secure, because Humanity will prevail.
- Andorian Ambassador Thoris: Earthmen talk about uniting worlds. But your own planet is deeply divided. Perhaps you're not quite ready to host this conference.
- John Frederick Paxton: I need you to refine my targeting system.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You really think I'm gonna help you turn that array into a weapon?
- John Frederick Paxton: You really think I'm gonna give you a choice?
- [he has Greaves point a gun to T'Pol's head]
- John Frederick Paxton: Starfleet's been warned, if that's what concerns you. Now, you can either help me, and a few empty buildings will be destroyed, or you refuse me and millions may die.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You told Starfleet when you're planning to fire the array. And you don't think they're gonna blast this facility off the face of the planet?
- John Frederick Paxton: If you are so eager for a blood bath, a blood bath is what you will get.
- Nathan Samuels: Paxton can destroy any ship that approaches Mars.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: If he can't see us... he can't destroy us.
- Harris: If Archer's coalition is formed, Enterprise could be busier than ever.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Indeed. Well... then I imagine this'll be the last time we meet.
- Harris: Always the optimist.
- John Frederick Paxton: That child is a cross-breed freak. How many generations before our genome is so diluted that the word 'Human' is nothing more than a footnote in some medical text? The same thing could happen to your people. Or don't you care about that?
- Commander T'Pol: Neither of our species is what it was a million years ago, nor what it'll become in the future. Life is change.
- John Frederick Paxton: Change in this case means extinction. And I, for one, will not let that baby bring Humanity to that point.
- John Frederick Paxton: What's wrong with your child?
- Commander T'Pol: Elevated white blood cell count, low-grade fever.
- John Frederick Paxton: Well, its two halves are warring with each other, alien and human. Conflict was inevitable.
