Admiral Forrest and Soval in “Unfinished Business”

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.
