- Grish: [talking to someone off camera] Where is the vault? Do you understand me?
- [next shot shows that he's talking to Porthos the dog, who barks back at him]
- Grish: I can't lock onto its language.
- Muk: It's a lower life form, you fool. Probably the captain's next meal.
- Grish: Don't be so sure. Look at the size of its ears.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Just because a guy's in his underwear, you think the worst.
- [on T'Pol's startled reaction regarding his outfit]
- [Archer and Tucker are staging a drama show for the Ferengi]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I'll show you the vault.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Trip?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Leave the women here, and I'll let you have the gold.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Not another word, Commander, that's an order!
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I'm not letting 'em take my wife!
- Ulis: Wife?
- Krem: She's not the one with the pointy ears, is she?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: No. Her name's Hoshi. And you're gonna keep your filthy hands off her! Do we have a deal?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You take them anywhere near that vault and I'll throw you in the brig for insubordination.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You don't give a damn about this crew. All you care about is your precious gold.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: I'm warning you, Trip.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You're a greedy son of a bitch!
- Captain Jonathan Archer: What's your wife worth? Five bars of gold, maybe six? Let them take Hoshi, and I'll give you ten.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: What?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: All right, fifteen!
- [Tucker charges at Archer with a roar and continues the discussion in a brawl]
- Krem: This female... is different from the others. What species is she?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: She's a Vulcan.
- Krem: Vulcan...
- Captain Jonathan Archer: They're really not all that interesting once you get to know them.
- Krem: I'd like to get to know this one. Maybe I won't sell her... not right away.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Trust me. She's got no sense of humor. She's always complaining.
- Muk: Do I look like a Menk to you?
- [referencing the inferior species of the planet Valakis, which the Enterprise crew encountered earlier that year]
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: "Not that interesting"? "No sense of humor"? "Always complaining"?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: ...I'll make it up to you.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: How?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Five bars of gold?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: There are times I wish Vulcans hadn't learned to repress their violent tendencies.
- Ulis: Time's running out. Someone has to stay and finish loading the ship.
- Grish: That's Krem's job.
- Krem: I'm tired of doing this job. I don't wanna do all the menial work!
- Ulis: Krem!
- Krem: It's time that I showed a little initiative! I have the lobes for business. You just never give me the chance to prove it!
- Ulis: [commanding] Get back to work!
- Krem: [after a pause, subdued] Yes, cousin.
- [the other Ferengi laugh derisively and leave]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [to Krem] You... sure told him.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Sorry, fellas. Bank must be closed today.
- [after all Ferengi have been put out of commission]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [trying to entice Krem] I'll take you to the vault. We'll split the gold, 50-50. I'll even throw in
- [pause]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: the Vulcan female.
- Krem: How do I know you won't try to double-cross me?
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You're the one holding the gun. So... what'll it be?
- Krem: [ponders, then holds up gun] Get back to work.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: It's your loss.
- [the Ferengi have plundered Enterprise]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: What do you need all this for, anyway? You seem to already have plenty of technology.
- Krem: One can never have too much. The Rules of Acquisition say "Expand or die."
- Captain Jonathan Archer: "Rules of Acquisition"?
- Krem: Mm, that's rule number 45. I've memorized all 173, including the most important one: "A man is only worth the sum of his possessions."
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Back on my homeworld, that kind of thinking almost destroyed our civilization.
- Krem: You should've managed your businesses better.
