Quotes
-
Dr. Emory Erickson : Jonathan, look at you! I always suspected you'd be famous. Just didn't think that you'd be more famous than me!
-
Dr. Emory Erickson : I couldn't leave him like that. It's better to be alive or dead - not somewhere in between.
Capt. Jonathan Archer : If it means anything... my guess is, Quinn would feel the same way.
-
Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Is it true you were the first person to go through?
Dr. Emory Erickson : I wasn't about to let anyone else do it.
Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Ah, you must've been scared.
Dr. Emory Erickson : Terrified. That original transporter took a full minute and a half to cycle through. Felt like a year. You could actually feel yourself being taken apart, put back together. When I materialized, first thing I did was lose my lunch.
[Trip laughs]
Dr. Emory Erickson : Second thing I did was get stone drunk: trick I learned from Zefram Cochrane. Now, there was a man who knew the benefits of a little "liquid courage."
-
Dr. Emory Erickson : I'm disappointed that you think less of me.
Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : You liked me better when I worshiped your shadow?
Dr. Emory Erickson : Yes.
[Tucker looks at him awkwardly]
Dr. Emory Erickson : It's an honest answer.
Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : I'd think you'd be out of practice.
Dr. Emory Erickson : You may wanna reserve judgment on my actions until you've lost a son.
Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : I *have* lost someone close. And I'd do almost anything to get her back - except put other people in danger.
-
Dr. Emory Erickson : I'm scared.
Capt. Jonathan Archer : I don't blame you.
Dr. Emory Erickson : I've waited so long for this moment, planned for it. What if something goes wrong? What if I fail?
Capt. Jonathan Archer : On the day before I entered flight training, I asked my father pretty much the same thing.
Dr. Emory Erickson : What did he say?
Capt. Jonathan Archer : "Don't fail."
Dr. Emory Erickson : [chuckles] Henry never was a poet.
Capt. Jonathan Archer : He didn't need to be.
-
Dr. Emory Erickson : Maybe they'll put me somewhere where I'll be useful - get a chance to teach.
Capt. Jonathan Archer : You'd probably be good at it.
Dr. Emory Erickson : I wouldn't be boring. Why settle for making myself miserable when I can spread the misery around to an entire class of students?
-
Dr. Emory Erickson : I'm sorry, Quinn.
