Captain Jonathan Archer : Our "friends" seem to be anxious for us to leave. We're going to break orbit, nice and slowly.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : [outside on Enterprise's hull] Understood. If you plan to go to warp, sir... you'll let me know?
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'll try to remember.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : You're afraid of the water?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : More precisely, afraid of drowning.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : I hope that's an anesthetic.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : If you must know, I was honored to be asked to sit at your table. I just wasn't entirely comfortable having a casual meal with my Captain. I was trained not to fraternize with superior officers.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Never too late to learn.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Frankly, sir, from my point of view, that kind of socializing has no place on a starship.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I had a C.O. once - felt the same way. "They're your crew, not your friends." I thought about that a lot when I took this command. But then I realized, this is not your typical mission. We could be out here for years. All we have to depend on is each other.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Captain... Those heroics we spoke about... I think it may be time.

Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm not leaving till we take this weapon offline.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Sir...
Captain Jonathan Archer : The way I see it, you don't have much choice. You're sort of stuck here.

Captain Jonathan Archer : So, where were we?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Sir?
Captain Jonathan Archer : This morning, at breakfast, before we were interrupted. You said... you didn't follow any particular sport?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Well, I'm afraid I haven't started following one since breakfast, sir.
-
[the situation seems hopeless]
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : I'd prefer a burial at sea - if I'm not completely vaporized.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I thought you were afraid of the water.
-
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : If I may say so, sir, your style of command does have its advantages.
[after Archer has rescued him with an unconventional maneuver]

[last lines]
Captain Jonathan Archer : So, how long was it?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : I counted ten seconds.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Ten? It was more like twenty.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Respectfully, sir, it was ten.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm not gonna argue with you, Malcolm. It was twenty. That's an order.
-
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : I'm afraid we have another problem, sir.
Captain Jonathan Archer : What? What is it?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : I need to use the bathroom.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : Thought you might need a hand.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Actually, I'd prefer a leg.
-
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : I would consider letting you amputate; but if Chef got hold of it, he'd be serving roast Reed for Sunday dinner.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : If I were the kind of captain you think I should be, I'd bust your ass back to crewman.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Begging your pardon, sir, but if you were that kind of captain, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
