• Sub-Commander T'Pol : The icon in that shrine is perched at an odd angle.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Oddly perched, huh? We'd better call Starfleet Command.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : That's not all, Captain. The Vulcan elder seems... agitated.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : You call that agitated?

• [Archer, T'Pol and Tucker have been taken hostage by Andorians] 

  Captain Jonathan Archer : They threaten to kill us all if anyone attempts a rescue.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Mr. Reed wouldn't be that reckless.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : I didn't recruit my Tactical Officer to sit on his butt when he's threatened.

• Sub-Commander T'Pol : We don't believe in responding to violence with violence.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : I admire your ethics. But right now, a little violence might help.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : You're beginning to sound like an Andorian.

• Dr. Phlox : What is that Vulcan motto, um - "Infinite diversity...?"

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : "... in infinite combinations".

  Dr. Phlox : Mm! And what is diversity but a celebration of differences? - I wonder if you might remind me of our mission on this vessel. Please, indulge me.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Our mission is to make contact with those who Humans consider new life and new civilizations.

  Dr. Phlox : In other words, to seek infinite diversity.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : I suppose so.

  Dr. Phlox : Well, then, it seems to me, a cultural exchange between your Vulcan brethren and your Human crew is simply a furtherance of that mission.

• Sub-Commander T'Pol : [briefing Archer and Tucker on the proper protocols for a visit at the Vulcan monastery]  When we arrive, we'll be greeted by a Vulcan elder. You should not speak to him, or any member of the order, unless spoken to first. If they appear to be meditating, do not approach them or attempt to make conversation. Also, maintain quiet at all times, and do not touch or disturb any artifacts, relics or ornamentation. If we arrive at their time of communal kolinahr, it's likely we'll be turned away. At the conclusion of our visit, we'll be offered the Stone of J'Kah as a gesture of salutation. Accept it, then bow slightly and observe a respectful silence for approximately five seconds.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : [to Tucker, under his breath]  I thought Starfleet training was tough.

• Sub-Commander T'Pol : It's been 24 hours since I took my nasal numbing agent. The cold is preferable to the odor.

• Vulcan Elder : How long have you lived on the Earth ship?

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Nine weeks and four days.

  Vulcan Elder : The smell must be intolerable.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : You get used to it. And I was given a nasal numbing agent.
