• Degra : You expect me to believe my own people would hold me prisoner?

  [Archer chuckles] 

  Degra : Do you think that's amusing?

  Captain Jonathan Archer : It's been a while since you referred to those overgrown grasshoppers as "your own people".

• Degra : Do you... have a family, Captain?

  Captain Jonathan Archer : [...]  I never really had an opportunity to start one. I was away from home a lot.

  Degra : You should make the time. I've learned that our work, in the end, means very little. Our real legacy is the children. I would do anything to protect mine.

• [when gas streams out, Archer gives Degra the only gas mask on the ship] 

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Take it!

  Degra : What about you?

  Captain Jonathan Archer : You're the one with the family.

• Degra : After I was told of the threat... from Humanity, I left my theoretical studies and agreed to design the prototype weapon. 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?

• Degra : You'll never find the weapon!

• Captain Jonathan Archer : You gave us the coordinates of a red giant.

  Degra : I gave you what you *thought* you wanted.
