Captain Jonathan Archer : [to the aliens] I assume you planted that device because you wanted to learn more about us. I'll be happy to give you a quick lesson. We're not here to make enemies. But just because we're not looking for a fight, doesn't mean we'll run away from one. You may think you've left us defenseless. But let me tell you something about Humans: we don't give up easily. We'll protect Enterprise... any way we can.
