Jonathan Archer quotes from Star Trek: Enterprise

Archer

These people you're fighting, what makes them heretics?

We believe the Makers created the Chosen Realm in nine days. They believe it took ten.

Archer

For that you've been at war for over a century?

Archer

Why are you here?

Shran

Your world is in jeopardy and where are your friends, the Vulcans? Where is their mighty fleet? They couldn't even spare one officer. She was forced to abandon her career to remain on your ship. A remarkably selfless act... for a Vulcan.

Archer

Give us the (Xindi) weapon.

Shran

I respect your perseverance, but you don't think you'll actually be able to take it from us.

Archer

No. I think you're going to give it to us... willingly.

Shran

[amused] Ha, ha. I should've warned you. Don't drink too much of that Andorian ale in one sitting.

Archer

You weren't sent here against your will. You knew exactly what your mission was. What were your people trying to do?! You tried to destroy my ship! Why?! Answer me!

When the Xindi destroy Earth, my people will prevail!

You're stranding us three years from home. Why are you doing this?

Archer

Because I have no choice.

To quote one of your philosophers, Nietzsche... "Mankind is something to be surpassed."

Archer

You think he was talking about you?

T'Pol

Over the centuries, his followers made copies of his teachings.

Archer

Let me guess — with the originals lost, whatever's left is open to interpretation.

T'Pol

You find this amusing?

Archer

I find it familiar.

Archer

Want a mirror?

Trip

You got a mean streak in you, you know that?

Shran

You're not especially difficult to work with. Unlike Tellarites, you understand ethics and you try to live by them.

Archer

"Try"?

Shran

Well, nobody's perfect.

You have acquired something of a reputation, Captain.

Archer

Favorable, I hope.

Well, you're wanted in the Klingon Empire, the Orion Syndicate. I don't know. I would've imagined such a man would have a more... robust appetite.

Archer

With all those people after me, I need to stay quick on my feet. [puts down his nearly-full plate of food]

Trip

...Been a hell of a run, Malcolm. never thought it would come to an end.

Reed

All good things. Captain thinks there'll be another Enterprise before too long.

Trip

I imagine.

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission...

...to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations...

Captain Jonathan Archer

... To boldly go where no man has gone before.
