• [first lines] 

  Captain Jonathan Archer : We're in bad shape, I can't deny that; but we're still in one piece. Enterprise is a tough ship. She took more than anyone could ask her to and then some. And so have all of you. I wanted to say thank you. I only wish I could thank the eighteen crewmen who were lost. Like you, they understood how important our mission is, and they accepted the risks. We came into the Expanse, not knowing what we'd find, with no one to rely on but ourselves. But we're going to succeed. To accomplish our mission. For everyone on Earth who's relying on us - and for the eighteen.

• [Archer and Phlox show the Xindi delegation their data about the Sphere Builder they had encountered earlier in the season] 

  Degra : What caused his death?

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Some kind of cellular degeneration. It started the moment he was taken off his ship.

  Degra : Perhaps your atmosphere was toxic to him.

  Dr. Phlox : I believe our universe was toxic to him.

• [Degra has been confronted by Tucker about his probe that had attacked Earth] 

  Degra : I never expected to meet anyone who'd... suffered, because of what I'd done. At the time, I thought the attack was necessary to save my people.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : I know. Believe it or not, we've had this conversation before.

• Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm trying to help you. But I need to know my world isn't being destroyed while I'm doing it.

  Degra : The weapon won't be launched for several days. Show us your proof, and we'll do what we can to stop it.

• [Archer is showing Degra their scans from the interior of a sphere] 

  Degra : These scans are remarkably detailed for a military vessel.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Enterprise was designed to be a ship of exploration.

  Degra : If we're successful, it will be again.
