- 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?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [after playing a devious ploy against Degra] I think you overdid the turbulence just a little, Ensign.
- Ensign Travis Mayweather: I'll try to do better next time, sir.
- [last lines]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Captain's starlog, supplemental - Hopefully the journey to Azati Prime will be the final leg in our search for the Xindi weapon.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You gave us the coordinates of a red giant.
- Degra: I gave you what you *thought* you wanted.
