Stigma (2003)

Jolene Blalock: Sub-Cmdr. T'Pol

Quotes 

• Sub-Commander T'Pol : I have Pa'nar Syndrome. It doesn't make a difference how I contracted it.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : It makes a lot of difference. You're not a member of this minority. He forced himself on you, you said it yourself.

  Dr. Phlox : He's right, T'Pol, you should tell them.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : He is not right. If I used that as a defense as a way to keep from being taken off Enterprise, I'd be condoning their prejudice, and in the process indicting every member of the minority. I won't do that.

• Dr. Yuris : [referring to T'Pol]  The mind meld was performed against her will.

  Dr. Oratt : Can you verify this?

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Why? So you can perpetuate your double standard? Condemn the infected when they meld by choice and sympathize with them when they don't?

• Captain Jonathan Archer : If you're not going to defend yourself, the least you can do is speak for this minority you're so eager to protect. You said you didn't want to condone the attitude of these doctors. Your silence would do just that.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : You need to understand... I won't tell them how I got the disease.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : I'll go along with that. I promise. But *you've* got to understand, I'm not gonna give you up without a fight.

• Sub-Commander T'Pol : Why jeopardize your career to help someone you despise?

  Dr. Yuris : If I despised you, I'd be despising myself. I'm part of the minority.

• Sub-Commander T'Pol : With your permission, I'll be contacting the High Command. I don't intend to let Yuris be dismissed without a fight.

• Dr. Yuris : I'm sorry. I had to tell them the truth. You should do the same.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : I have nothing to say to them.

• Dr. Strom : Our culture is governed by rules. We're not about to ignore them.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : There are no rules telling you to oppress minorities.

• [last lines] 

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Maybe this incident will encourage others to speak out.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Let's hope so.
