• Captain Christopher Pike : I'm curious. Did you sideline the Enterprise because you knew I'd never stop reminding you of that?

  Admiral Cornwell : You sat out the war, because if we'd lost to the Klingons, we wanted the best of Starfleet to survive. And as this conversation makes clear, that was you, and all you represent.

  Captain Christopher Pike : [taken aback]  Thank you.

  Admiral Cornwell : You're welcome. Now will you get off my ass, so we can get back to work?

• Admiral Cornwell : Sometimes, in war, the terrible choice is the only choice.

  Captain Christopher Pike : Giving up our values in the name of security is to lose the battle in advance.

• Admiral Cornwell : I understand this is more than you bargained for. But you cannot abandon the mission, Chris. Whether I can issue orders or not, we have to get a team onto that station and reset Control.

  Captain Christopher Pike : What is it about the look on my face that suggests I've changed my mind?
