Star Trek: Enterprise · Season 1
(Watching a game of water polo) Oh, number eight on Texas just fouled one of my boys. He's gonna be ejected for 20 seconds.
Is that fair? It gives your guys an advantage.
Well, that's the point. I don't suppose it'd be practical to put a pool on the ship.
I wouldn't wanna be taking a swim if the gravity plating went off-line.
No. No.
Just giving you friendly warning: are you aware your engines are overheating?
So are yours.
[Mayweather has broken his leg on an alien planet and returned to the ship.]
Why didn't you let them finish treating you on the surface?
Have you ever been to an alien hospital?
Yes, in San Francisco.
You think this is my fault?
You were willing to follow two strange aliens into a basement.
Gorgeous aliens! Don't forget they were gorgeous!
They were male.
Not at first!
With all due respect sir... This is a level of quantum engineering that's beyond anything I ever learned. How the hell do you know this?
Remember Crewman Daniels?
Yeah. I saw him get vaporized by our friend Silik.
Well for a cloud of vapor, he's one wealth of information. I just spent 2 hours with him.
Have your ships bring me Archer, allow Enterprise to continue.
But we need to recover the disks!
Archer. You know what happened the last time you failed me.
When I was in my early 20s on a trip to East Africa, I saw a gazelle giving birth. It was truly amazing. Within minutes, the baby was standing up... standing up on its own. A few more minutes, and it was walking. And before I knew it, it was running alongside its mother, moving away with the herd. Humans aren't like that, Ambassador. We may come from the same planet as those gazelles, but we're pretty much helpless when we're born. It takes us months before we're able to crawl. Almost a full year before we can walk. Our deep space mission isn't much different. We're going to stumble, make mistakes. I'm sure more than a few before we find our footing. But we're going to learn from those mistakes. That's what being Human is all about. I'm sorry you can't see that.
Do realize you've just rewritten our history books?
A footnote at best.
Footnote? This is like finding out Neil Armstrong wasn't the first man to walk on the moon.
Perhaps he wasn't.
(Archer is about to give Reed an anesthetic) I hope that's an anesthetic.
Phlox's own recipe.
Ahhhh.... Please sir, may I have some more?
[sampling a replicated pan-fried catfish] Cap'n, you gotta try this.
Thanks, but I'll stick with whatever Chef's serving.
Doctor, are you alright?
Oh I'm sorry captain, did I wake you? Just trimming my toenails.. They grow quite rapidly. Have to keep them groomed neatly at least once a week.
(listening from afar) Tessic is explaining that the yield is not what they hoped. (pause)
Good ears!
(about the arrest of Menos) Why did you want me here?
Because I trust you.
Then trust me- you were sent to apprehend him, not to judge him.
Dr. Temec has a theory about where you come from. I found it hard to believe until I saw this; it was taken by one of our reconnaissance pilots early this morning. He said the craft was traveling at very high speed.
Dr. Temec': None of the other planets in our system is capable of supporting life. Where do you come from?
Our scientists tell me it's unlikely a craft of this could have traveled from another star system. They suspect a larger craft must be nearby, perhaps even orbiting our planet. Tell me your orders! Have you made contact with The Alliance?
Are you feeling alright Commander?
...I know you don't think this chair is important, but you're wrong. What's the most critical component on this ship? The main computer? The Warp Reactor? Huh...?! It's the crew. And the most important member of the crew is the captain. He makes life and death decisions every day, and the last thing he needs to be thinking in a critical situation is: 'Gee! I wish this chair wouldn't such pain in the ass!'
