Quotes 

• Orgoth : When a ship runs aground due to spatial distortions... it becomes an easy target. Our captain told us we wouldn't harm anyone. And we didn't - not at first. It takes time to learn to kill without remorse. You're not prepared to kill, or torture. Not yet.

  Capt. Jonathan Archer : I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to find your ship. And if that ends up causing me remorse... then it's something I'm willing to live with.

• Capt. Jonathan Archer : How's it coming?

  Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Could be better. Creating a stable warp field isn't easy when the laws of physics won't cooperate. The Cochrane Equation, it's not constant here. The problem's in the quantum variables. Every time I try to compensate, the spatial gradients get thrown out of whack. Either we get away from these anomalies, or we're gonna have to rewrite the book on warp theory. And I don't have to tell you how long it took Zefram Cochrane the first time around. -... - Now, where's Isaac Newton when you need him?

• Capt. Jonathan Archer : We're taking you back to the sphere.

  Orgoth : So you have let your morality get in the way after all.

  [he chuckles] 

  Orgoth : Mercy is not a quality that will serve you well in the Expanse, Captain.

• Capt. Jonathan Archer : You'd better start talking now, because in about forty seconds, you won't be able to!

  [after locking Orgoth in an airlock and decompressing it] 

• Ensign Travis Mayweather : [of the Osaarian ship]  Their ion trail's already started to decay. They're gonna be hard to find.

  Capt. Jonathan Archer : We're gonna wait for them to find us, Travis.

• [last lines] 

  Capt. Jonathan Archer : Computer - load the Xindi database.
