Quotes
-
Sub-Commander T'Pol : You're very adept at listing the questionable decisions you've made. But there have been other decisions, many of them, that no one would question. I'm willing to try to convince my government of that; are you willing to try to convince yours?
Captain Jonathan Archer : You know... this has got to be the first time a Vulcan... has ever attempted to cheer up a Human.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : Remember Crewman Daniels?
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Yeah... I saw him get vaporized by our friend Silik.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Well, for a cloud of vapor, he's one wealth of information.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : [after waking up ten months in the past] If you're trying to tell me the last ten months was a dream... I'm not buying it.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm placing you in command. I advise you to maintain your present course and speed. I don't know what's going to happen. But try to keep an open mind... especially when it comes to things the Vulcan Science Directorate says are... "impossible".
Sub-Commander T'Pol : I'll try.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : That last shot should've sealed off the two lower decks. If Daniels is right, there shouldn't be more than 20 Suliban for us to deal with.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Is that all?
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : I never thought this was possible either. But... I traveled through time. And I need you to believe me.
Sub-Commander T'Pol : Why?
Captain Jonathan Archer : Because it's hard enough trying to fathom all this without having my Science Officer, a colleague who I trust and rely on, the person who got me to stop feeling sorry for myself, accusing me of being an hallucinating madman.

[last lines of season 1]
Captain Jonathan Archer : [overlooking a destroyed 31st century Earth] If bringing me here caused this... then send me back. I'll take my chances with Silik.
Temporal Agent Daniels : Y-you don't understand. All our equipment, the time portals... have been destroyed. Everything's been destroyed. There's no way to send you back.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : So you're... telling me you... brought me back... what, ten months ago? How about Jonathan Archer ten months ago? Where's he?
Temporal Agent Daniels : He's you.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Then who just climbed into bed aboard Enterprise?
Temporal Agent Daniels : That hasn't happened yet.
Captain Jonathan Archer : That's a load of crap, and you know it.
Temporal Agent Daniels : Huh... I've had this conversation with half a dozen people. It always ends up the same way.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Can't you ever give a straight answer?
Temporal Agent Daniels : Depends on the question.
-
Sub-Commander T'Pol : The Vulcan Science Directorate has concluded that time travel is impossible.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Well, good for the Vulcan Science Directorate.
-
Captain Jonathan Archer : We're making history with every...
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : ...every light year. You know, I think I've heard you say that at least half a dozen times.
-
[Enterprise's mission has been canceled]
Captain Jonathan Archer : I wish I was simply feeling sorry for myself. But actually I'm feeling sorry for a whole lot of people. Every member of Starfleet, in fact. Their futures depended upon my ability to succeed at this mission.
-
Temporal Agent Daniels : This must be very disorienting, I apologize, but I had no choice.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Commander Tucker told me you were dead. That Silik killed you.
Temporal Agent Daniels : He did - in a manner of speaking.
