- Sub-Commander T'Pol: The Captain told the Aquatics we could disable these spheres.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: And I'm trying not to make a liar out of him.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Really?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: What do you mean by that?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: You've dismissed all of my proposals.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: When you come up with one that doesn't involve blowin' ourselves up, I'll be a little more enthusiastic.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: [to the MACOs] We've got less than ten hours before this weapon reaches Earth. The Captain wants to take a team aboard to destroy it. I don't imagine the Reptilians will make this easy for us. But that's why you're here. That's why Major Hayes picked each one of you for this mission - because he knew you'd get the job done.
- Xindi-Primate Councilor: I knew Degra for many years. He could be difficult - uncompromising. We argued often; for instance, when he insisted that we meet with you. But when Degra spoke, only a fool would ignore him. He believed there was a future between your people and ours. When this is over, I intend to see if he was right.
- [T'Pol has considered joining Starfleet formally]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Can you imagine the look on Soval's face when he sees her in a Starfleet uniform? Please, let me be there!
- Major Hayes: When we first came aboard Enterprise, we definitely felt like outsiders.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: If I contributed to that, I apologize...
- Major Hayes: My point is, none of us feel that way anymore. We're all part of the same crew, no matter which uniform we wear. Don't worry about Ensign Sato. We'll bring her home.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Captain's starlog, February 13th, 2154 - We're preparing to enter a Xindi vortex, thanks to some help from the Aquatics. If everything goes as planned, we'll intercept the weapon in less than two hours. Enterprise may be coming apart at the seams, but I can't say the same for the crew. After nearly eight months in the Expanse, they're ready to do what they came to do, no matter what it takes, no matter what the cost.
- [T'Pol and Tucker are analyzing the data from the sphere]
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: This could be a command subroutine.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: And it could be a letter to Santa Claus.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: How long do they plan to keep us waiting?
- Xindi-Primate Councilor: You have to deal with the Aquatics on their terms.
- Jannar: They're extremely deliberate, in everything they do.
- [Archer, Reed and some MACOs are about to take up pursuit of the Xindi weapon in Degra's ship]
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Malcolm, hang on! Bring me back a piece of that weapon - a souvenir.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: With pleasure.
- Commander Dolim: [to Sato] Before your primate brain is too badly damaged to understand, I want to thank you for helping us destroy your world.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Any word?
- Xindi-Primate Councilor: It's only been three hours. The Council once needed to resolve a simple logistical matter. It took the Aquatics six days to agree to attend the meeting.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: I'm surprised you were ever able to get anything done.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Six vessels approaching, sir. All Aquatic.
- Xindi-Primate Councilor: *That* was remarkably fast!
- Captain Jonathan Archer: When we're finished, we'll meet you at the rendezvous coordinates.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: We'll be there. - Captain... Good luck.
- Sphere-Builder Primary: How do these developments affect the timeline?
- Sphere-Builder Presage: It's difficult to say. They continue to fluctuate. However, most now indicate, the Humans will prevail.
- Sphere-Builder Woman: Then the time has come for us to intervene.
- [after a battle with Enterprise and the other Xindi, the Reptilians and Insectoid have escaped with the Weapon]
- Xindi-Insectoid Councilman: [on viewscreen, in Insectoid] The anomalies worked to our advantage.
- Commander Dolim: We were fortunate.
- Xindi-Insectoid Councilman: [in Insectoid] It was more than good fortune. The human claims the Guardians control the Spheres.
- Commander Dolim: He also started a civil war between our species.
- Xindi-Insectoid Councilman: [in Insectoid] The human didn't kill Degra. *You* did.
- Commander Dolim: Degra was a traitor.
- Xindi-Insectoid Councilman: [in Insectoid] I'm no longer certain of that.
- Commander Dolim: Then it's a good thing we already have your launch codes.
- [ends communications and turns to his tactical officer]
- Commander Dolim: Lock weapons on their ship.
- Xindi-Reptilian Soldier: Sir?
- Commander Dolim: I won't risk any more interference. Fire.
- [the Reptilian ship fires on the Insectoid ship, causing it to spin off exploded against the weapon]
- [last lines]
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [referring to Tucker] I expect you to keep him in line.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I'll do my best.
