Quotes 

• Gralik Durr : [after learning about the Xindi-attack on Earth]  You burst into my home, show me some twisted piece of metal and tell me it proves I'm a mass murderer? I've never seen your species before, I've never heard of a planet called Earth, and whether you believe me or not, I had nothing to do with killing millions of its inhabitants.

• Gralik Durr : The war went on for nearly a hundred years. The sides changed, alliances were forged, and then broken. By the time it ended, I doubt any of the six species remembered what started it. But everyone remembered what ended it.

  [referring to the destruction of his homeworld] 

• Gralik Durr : I'm proud of my craft, Captain. I've practiced it for many years. I won't let my work be corrupted in this way. Seven... million... people? If I'd chosen my clients more carefully, that tragedy might not've happened. I don't intend to let it happen again.

• [the Xindi-Reptilian is pressing Gralik to get their shipment ready] 

  Gralik Durr : Forty-two years - that's how long I've been running these facilities. And never once have I allowed a single grain of kemocite to leave the premises unless it was perfectly calibrated. I take pride in my work. But if you're so eager to get underway, then go ahead, take your shipment! But if it doesn't meet your requirements, don't expect me to produce another hundred kilograms overnight, because we do have other clients besides you.

• Gralik Durr : My grandfather lived there. He told me of places where the sky was sometimes filled with Avians. Now they're gone.

• Captain Jonathan Archer : Is something wrong?

  Gralik Durr : I may have just betrayed my people to a "ruthless alien species".

• [last lines] 

  Gralik Durr : If everything you've told me is true - about the attack on your world - I hope you'll remember that all Xindi are not your enemy.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : I will.

• Captain Jonathan Archer : Is Degra a Reptilian?

  Gralik Durr : No. He's a Xindi-Primate.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : I met one, at a mining complex.

  Gralik Durr : They're similar to you, ape-like.

• Captain Jonathan Archer : It's hard to imagine five sentient species evolving on the same planet.

  Gralik Durr : Five? Hm. I suppose there are now.
