[when being shot at, Archer leaves the Vulcans behind to reconnoiter]
Capt. Jonathan Archer : No offense, but my ears are less likely to draw fire than yours.
[disappears]
Vulcan Ambassador Soval : What is their fixation with our ears?
Sub-Commander T'Pol : I believe they're envious.
-
Capt. Jonathan Archer : The ball's in your court now.
[Soval looks inquiringly at T'Pol]
Sub-Commander T'Pol : It's a Human expression. It means the next move is yours.

Capt. Jonathan Archer : Obviously I'm here at the request of the Andorians. Shran believes he can trust me. I don't intend to prove him wrong by going down there, with a Vulcan officer in tow. If you insist I bring a Vulcan along, I'll take the one I know *I* can trust.
-
Capt. Jonathan Archer : I believe someone once defined a compromise as... a solution that neither side is happy with.
Commander Shran : In that case, these talks have been extremely successful.
-
Sub-Commander T'Pol : [just before the shuttle crashes] We need to reduce our speed.
Capt. Jonathan Archer : The ground is gonna do that for us.

Capt. Jonathan Archer : I imagined my first diplomatic mission would involve sitting around a big table, toasting with champagne, signing things with lots of pens...
Commander Shran : The pink skin sense of humor.

Capt. Jonathan Archer : Maybe we're not out here to just... scan comets and meet new species. Maybe... we're out here to prove that... Humanity's ready to join a much larger community. I intend to do that - whether the Vulcans like it or not.
-
Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : T'Pol said that territorial compromise they were talking about... took eight years to work out.
Capt. Jonathan Archer : I'll try to speed things up this time.

[last lines]
Vulcan Ambassador Soval : Captain - your presence here has not been... overly meddlesome.
[he leaves]
Commander Shran : I think he likes you, pink skin.
Capt. Jonathan Archer : I wouldn't go that far.
