TV show quotes
Symbiots are living, conscious entities. We'll be growing a sentient being for the sole purpose of harvesting tissue.
I'm aware of the ethical implications. If we weren't in the Expanse, maybe my decision would be different, but... we've got to complete this mission. Earth needs Enterprise. Enterprise needs Trip. It's as simple as that.
I don't have to tell you what's at stake. I must complete this mission. And to do that, I need Trip. Trip! I'll take whatever steps necessary to save him.
Even if it means killing me?
Even if it means killing you.
You're not a murderer.
Don't make me one.
The most difficult test facing any captain, any crew, is the loss of a shipmate. We've come here to honor one of our own. In the time we knew him, he showed us just how much one life can truly matter. We will never forget what he did for us and for the ship he loved so much. We will go forward with renewed determination to complete this mission, so that his sacrifice won't just have been for the people on this ship, but for all the citizens of Earth.
We just traveled 90 light years back to Earth?
And 150 years into the past.
Forgive me if I'm not entirely convinced.
You will be.
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.
For that you've been at war for over a century?
Why are you here?
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.
Give us the (Xindi) weapon.
I respect your perseverance, but you don't think you'll actually be able to take it from us.
No. I think you're going to give it to us... willingly.
[amused] Ha, ha. I should've warned you. Don't drink too much of that Andorian ale in one sitting.
(to Archer, about the Xindi probe) When it arrived in your star system, I watched the incoming telemetry with the other members of the council. Seven million lives... were extinguished in front of my eyes. I asked myself, 'How many of those were children?'
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!
No offense, Doc, but under normal circumstances I wouldn't even let you in here without four years of Starfleet training under your belt.
These are hardly normal circumstances.
Are you planing on shooting me, Major?
It's not you I'm worried about.
I've always been much better at avoiding farewells than giving them so I'm not even gonna try. But I'm going to ask all of you to think back to the day when this ship was first launched. We were explorers then. When all this is over, when Earth is safe, I want you to get back to that job. There are 400 billion stars in our galaxy. We've only explored a tiny fraction. You have a lot of work to do. Of all the captains who will sit in this chair, I can't imagine any of them being more proud than I am right now.
You're stranding us three years from home. Why are you doing this?
Because I have no choice.
(to T'Pol) We've had our share of disagreements, but you've never taken it out on my desk before.
Every time I start I hear myself sayin', 'What a fine young woman she was. How... how smart and full of potential.' And I realize I'm not thinkin' about Taylor at all. I'm thinkin' about Elizabeth. So many people dead. I tried not to see her any differently than the other seven million, so I spent the last nine months tryin' to pretend she was just another victim. But she's my sister, T'Pol. My baby sister! I envy you Vulcans.
You think that the loss of a colleague or a friend doesn't affect us? It does, but if we give in to those emotions, they overwhelm us. You're the ones to be envied.
