Soval quotes from Star Trek: Enterprise

Captain, your actions, while being morally questionable... were necessary. I opposed your appointment as captain of the Enterprise, but it's obvious now I was wrong. T'Pol told me that the Expanse would have someday encompassed hundreds of systems, including Vulcan. You've done a great service for both our worlds... Thank you.

Of all the species we've made contact with, yours is the only one we can't define. You have the arrogance of the Andorians, the stubborn pride of Tellerites. One moment you're as driven by your emotions as Klingons and the next you confound us by suddenly embracing logic.

Archer

No offense, but my ears are less likely to draw fire than yours.

[to T'Pol] What is their fixation with our ears?

T'Pol

I believe that they are envious.

[to Archer] Captain. Your presence here has not been... overly meddlesome. [leaves the briefing room with T'Pol and his aide]

Shran

I think he likes you, Pink-Skin.

Archer

I wouldn't go that far.

Ambassador,... Are Vulcans afraid of humans? [Soval says nothing] Why?

Because there is one species you remind us of.

[realizing] Vulcans.

We had our wars, Admiral. Just as humans did. Our planet was devastated, our civilization nearly destroyed. Logic saved us. But it took almost fifteen hundred years for us to rebuild our world and travel to the stars. You humans did the same in less than a century. There are those on the High Command who wonder what humans would achieve in the century to come. And they don't like the answer.

We're not the Klingons. We only want to be your partners. To do what the nations of Earth have learned to do. To work together in common cause.

Trip

I never got the impression you cared that much about humans. Seems like you were always finding something new to complain about.

I lived on Earth for more than 30 years, Commander. In that time I developed an affinity for your world and its people.

Trip

You did a pretty good job of hiding it.

Thank you.

You must know that torture is rarely effective against Vulcans. Our mental disciplines allow us to suppress pain.

Shran

Our security division has had a great deal of experience extracting information from Vulcan operatives. This machine doesn't cause physical discomfort. It uses a neurosynaptic field to lower your emotional threshold. (Soval groans) How do you feel? I've seen Vulcans who were broken by this device. They were never the same again. I have no desire to see that happen to you. Where is your fleet?!

I told you! Our ships are assembling near Regulus! Release me!

Shran

I can't. Not until I'm certain you've told us the truth.

Then I suggest you increase the setting and get this over with.
