[Enterprise is approaching the Berengaria system]
Commander T'Pol : A Vulcan science vessel surveyed the seventh planet over 50 years ago. The file states it's an M-class world with a flourishing ecosystem. No intelligent life.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Sounds promising.
Commander T'Pol : They did report one distinctive feature which bears mentioning.
Captain Jonathan Archer : And that is?
Commander T'Pol : A species of flying reptile, some reportedly over 200 meters long. They're also said to breathe fire.
[the crew's expressions become a mixture of curiosity and skepticism]
Commander T'Pol : There's been lingering questions over the accuracy of this report.
Captain Jonathan Archer : [suppressing a grin] We can't wait to find out.
-
Harrad-Sar : I can see you're upset, and I sympathize. But it's truly out of my hands. We're both slaves to the situation.
Captain Jonathan Archer : ...They control you?
Harrad-Sar : You finally realize that. Yes, Captain, you've been operating under a misconception. It is the men who are the slaves, not the women.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : It almost sounded like you were making a joke.
Commander Tucker : At least trying to make one.
Commander T'Pol : I assure you, if I ever decide to make a joke, you'll know about it.
Commander Tucker : There it is again.
Captain Jonathan Archer : T'Pol, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were picking up some of Trip's bad habits.
-
[Archer and Reed have been invited to a snack on Harrad-Sar's ship]
Harrad-Sar : You have acquired something of a reputation, Captain.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Favorable, I hope?
Harrad-Sar : Well, you're wanted in the Klingon Empire, the Orion Syndicate... I don't know, I-I would've imagined such a man would have a more robust appetite.
Captain Jonathan Archer : With all those people after me, I need to stay quick on my feet.
-
[Harrad-Sar has scantily-clad Orion slave girls brought in for Archer's and Reed's entertainment]
Harrad-Sar : What do you think?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : [fascinated] I can't think.
Harrad-Sar : Captain?
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'd have to agree with my Tactical Officer.
-
Harrad-Sar : Can I be of help, Captain? Do you need a tow?
Captain Jonathan Archer : We still have weapons. You're not gonna get this ship without one hell of a fight!
Harrad-Sar : I'd rather I didn't have to kill you, but... if that's what it takes. The Syndicate wants your head, Captain; and they don't really care whether or not it's attached to your body.
-
Commander T'Pol : I've been hearing some concerns from the crew.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Concerns?
Commander T'Pol : The Orion women. Their presence is becoming disruptive.
Captain Jonathan Archer : You're telling me. The crew isn't used to having Orions on board.
Commander T'Pol : It's more than that. Our guests visited the mess hall this morning. As a result, twelve crewmen reported late for their shifts.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I get the picture.
Commander T'Pol : It's primarily their attire.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Or lack of it!
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : Any chance to improve relations with the Syndicate, I'm willing to take that risk. Anything to have one less hostile species out there.
-
Navaar : I can see you're not very experienced at making threats.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm a lot better at carrying them out.
