Sub-Cmdr. T'Pol • Cmdr. T'Pol • Lt. Cmdr. T'Pol • T'Mir
- Commander Tucker: You aren't saying much tonight. Don't tell me you're still upset about me and Amanda.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I'm not upset.
- Commander Tucker: Sure sounds like it.
- Subcommander T'Pol: You're mistaken.
- Commander Tucker: Why would a few neuropressure sessions between me and a MACO be such a big deal. Unless...
- Subcommander T'Pol: Unless what?
- Commander Tucker: Unless you're a little jealous.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I don't experience jealousy.
- Commander Tucker: You're doing a pretty fair imitation of it.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I am not, in any way, jealous of you and Corporal Cole.
- Commander Tucker: You know, your voice is tensing up. That's a dead giveaway.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I didn't know you were an expert in vocal inflections.
- Commander Tucker: I don't need to be an expert to read you. Come on, admit it. You're a little jealous.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Are you implying that I'm attracted to you?
- Commander Tucker: That kind of goes along with the assumption, doesn't it?
- Commander Tucker: I don't like pushing the engines at 110%
- Subcommander T'Pol: They are rated for 120
- Commander Tucker: My underwear's flame-retardant, but it doesn't mean I want to set fire to myself to prove it.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I think you're mistaken about who's attracted to whom.
- Commander Tucker: Are you saying I'm attracted to you?
- Subcommander T'Pol: I don't need to say it, you already have.
- Commander Tucker: I don't remember that conversation.
- Subcommander T'Pol: It wasn't you, it was your clone, Sim told me.
- Commander Tucker: Sim?
- Subcommander T'Pol: He said he had feelings for me.
- Commander Tucker: He told you that?
- Subcommander T'Pol: [nodding towards the spot where Sim had stood] Standing right there.
- Commander Tucker: What the hell was he doing in your room?
- Subcommander T'Pol: Your voice is tensing up.
- Commander Tucker: Now you're the vocal expert?
- Subcommander T'Pol: I don't need to be an expert to read you.
- Commander Tucker: I can't believe this. I'm... I'm jealous of... myself?
- Subcommander T'Pol: You're jealous?
- Commander Tucker: No. Absolutely not. Okay, maybe, maybe I am a little.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Which would mean you're attracted to me.
- [Trip gives her a look]
- Subcommander T'Pol: It goes with the assumption.
- Commander Tucker: What just happened here? Did we? Are we?
- [T'Pol leans in and kisses Trip strongly]
- Subcommander T'Pol: I've run a check through the Starfleet database. You might be pleased to know that this is the first recorded incident of a human male becoming pregnant.
- Commander Tucker: Just how I always wanted to get into the history books.
- [Mayweather has broken his leg on an alien planet and returned to the ship]
- Subcommander T'Pol: Why didn't you let them finish treating you on the surface?
- Travis Mayweather: Have you ever been to an alien hospital?
- Subcommander T'Pol: Yes, in San Francisco.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Is there something else?
- Commander Tucker: You and Trip used to spend a lot of time here together.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I was instructing him in the practice of Vulcan neuropressure.
- Commander Tucker: I remember. We were lying right there
- [points to floor]
- Commander Tucker: working the neural nodes on each other's feet, talking about the warp engines. How I was hoping to modify them.
- Subcommander T'Pol: How Commander Tucker was hoping to modify them.
- Commander Tucker: [dejected] Right, Commander Tucker.
- [pause]
- Commander Tucker: You know, he was really starting to enjoy those sessions with you.
- Subcommander T'Pol: They were helping him sleep.
- Commander Tucker: [voice getting quieter] I'm not sure that's the only reason.
- Subcommander T'Pol: What do you mean?
- Commander Tucker: Was there ever anything between you and Trip?
- Subcommander T'Pol: If you are referring to a romantic relationship... no.
- Commander Tucker: The reason I ask is... well... you're all I think about, if you know what I mean. And, I'm not talking about an adolescent crush. That was... well, that was two days ago. This is much more serious, the way I feel about you. Anyway, what's driving me crazy is, I don't know if these feelings are mine... or his.
- Subcommander T'Pol: [voice cracking] I can't answer that.
- Commander Tucker: I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I'm not uncomfortable.
- Commander Tucker: I just thought I should tell you this, while I still had the chance.
- Subcommander T'Pol: May I come in?
- [Sim nods OK]
- Subcommander T'Pol: I just wanted to say how much your absence will affect the crew... how much it will affect me.
- Commander Tucker: I appreciate that. All in all, I guess I've a pretty good life...
- [T'Pol steps forward and gives him a short but sweet kiss]
- Commander Tucker: I couldn't have asked for a better going away present.
- Commander Tucker: Have you talked to Lorian yet? He's a good kid, maybe you should get to know him.
- Subcommander T'Pol: No, I haven't and he is not a kid, he's over 100 years old.
- Commander Tucker: [laughs] Only in the expanse could I have a kid three times my age. Who would have thought, you and me, huh? Lorian says we're going to be married in a traditional Vulcan ceremony. It's gonna take me weeks to learn to pronounce the vows. You know where we are going to have our honeymoon? Cargo Bay Three! He says, "I'll fill it up with sand that we dug up from a passing asteroid". I'm even supposed to,
- [laughs]
- Commander Tucker: manufacture a palm tree.
- Subcommander T'Pol: It's ridiculous to assume that those events are going to happen. Hand me the flux coupler.
- Commander Tucker: Aren't you at all curious about how you and I are supposed to end up together?
- Subcommander T'Pol: The fact that our counterparts marry doesn't mean we'll do the same.
- Commander Tucker: You're afraid to admit that under the right circumstances, you could have feelings for me. Maybe you have them already.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I should've known this was a mistake.
- Commander Tucker: What?
- Subcommander T'Pol: Exploring human sexuality with you. You're obviously unable to have a physical relaionship without developing an emotional attachment.
- Commander Tucker: You know, all the other women on board must have been taken, because I can't imagine any other reason why I would've married someone as stubborn as you.
- Commander Tucker: We should have heard something by now. What if they failed? Earth could be...
- [T'pol puts a hand on his shoulder to calm him]
- Subcommander T'Pol: Be patient.
- Commander Tucker: [looks at her hand] My skin's healing faster than yours. I guess you Vulcans aren't so tough after all.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Dr. Phlox says we should all be back to normal within two to three days.
- Commander Tucker: I'm only kidding. You look nice like this, kind of like an old oil painting.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I am not old. I will only be 66 years old on my next birthday.
- Commander Tucker: I can't believe you told me that.
- Subcommander T'Pol: You accused me of looking old!
- Commander Tucker: That's not what I mean. I've been trying to get you to tell me your age since we left space dock. Why now?
- Subcommander T'Pol: To Vulcans, certain information is considered... intimate.
- Commander Tucker: Intimate? Hmm.
- [after finding a ship from the future with a corpse in it that has both human and Vulcan genes, T'Pol has to make a report for the Vulcan High Command]
- Captain Archer: I wonder... if they'll believe that humans and Vulcans will be... swapping chromosomes one day.
- Subcommander T'Pol: They're more likely to believe in time travel.
- Subcommander T'Pol: What do you suggest I do?
- Subcommander T'Pol: [old T'Pol] There's a human expression. "Follow your heart."
- Subcommander T'Pol: What if my heart doesn't know what it wants?
- Subcommander T'Pol: [old T'Pol] It will, in time, It will.
- Subcommander T'Pol: You've dismissed all my proposals.
- Commander Tucker: When you come up with one which doesn't involve blowing ourselves up, I'll be a little more enthusiastic.
- Subcommander T'Pol: You might surprise me with an idea of your own.
- Commander Tucker: Maybe you haven't had time to meditate. I don't know. But whatever's going on with you lately, I've had enough. I'll work on this in Engineering. Call me if you have any more brilliant ideas.
- [he turns to leave]
- Subcommander T'Pol: Commander... Trip!
- [he stops and comes back]
- Subcommander T'Pol: Everything that's happened recently has caused me to become slightly emotional.
- Commander Tucker: I've noticed.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I apologize.
- Commander Tucker: Forget about it.
- Subcommander T'Pol: I wish I could. It may take some time for me to regain my control. It will be difficult for me to deal with, especially... on my own.
- Commander Tucker: This hasn't been easy for any of us. You know how much I appreciate what you did for me. When this is over, I'm all ears. Why don't we take another crack at this?
- Subcommander T'Pol: [about her marriage to Koss] Trip, I have to do this... for many reasons.
- Commander Tucker: And how am I supposed to take this?
- Subcommander T'Pol: I'm sorry.
- Commander Tucker: You're sorry. You brought me 16 light years just to watch you get married to someone you barely know.
- Captain Archer: [Archer and T'Pol are being stalked by a large, ravenous Vulcan sehlat] How long before it starts to lose interest in us?
- Subcommander T'Pol: Days, at least. They're very persistent creatures. When I was a child I had one as a pet.
- Captain Archer: You had one of those?
- Subcommander T'Pol: Domesticated. They're smaller... slightly.
- Captain Archer: How slightly?
- Subcommander T'Pol: You have Porthos.
- [referring to Captain Archer's pet beagle]
- Captain Archer: Porthos doesn't try and eat me when I'm late with his dinner.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Vulcan children are *never* late with their sehlat's dinner.
- Captain Archer: I can believe that.
- Subcommander T'Pol: The Earth cargo ship Fortunate. Y-class freighter. Maximum speed: warp one point eight. Crew complement: twenty-three.
- Travis Mayweather: Not counting newborn babies.
- Captain Archer: Ensign?
- Travis Mayweather: I grew up on a J-class, a little smaller but the same basic design. And one thing I can tell you is that at warp one point eight, you've got a lot of time on your hands between ports. That's how my parents wound up with me.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Do you have any helpful information on this vessel beyond its recreational activities?
- [Archer, T'Pol and Ambassador Soval are hiding from hostile Andorians]
- Captain Archer: No offense, but my ears are less likely to draw fire then yours.
- Vulcan Ambassador Soval: [to T'Pol] What is their fixation with our ears?
- Subcommander T'Pol: I believe they are envious.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Commander, are you feeling alright?
- Commander Tucker: People are gossiping T'Pol. Malcolm thinks we are doing more than neural pressure.
- Subcommander T'Pol: We are both senior officers. If we were pursuing a romantic relationship, it wouldn't be Lieutenant Reed's concern, would it?
- Commander Tucker: I suppose not.
- Subcommander T'Pol: Shall we continue?
- Subcommander T'Pol: [explaining in Vulcan why Trip is with her] Commander Tucker is my colleague, he wanted to visit Vulcan.
- T'Les: [in Vulcan] This is the first time you've brought a colleague home with you.
- T'Les: [on why T'Pol doesn't want to marry Koss] It's because of Commander Tucker, isn't it? He's the reason why you refuse to bond with Koss. Do you really believe that a human and a Vulcan can have a future together? Imagine the shame your children would endure, assuming the two you could have children.
- Subcommander T'Pol: [angrily] That wouldn't be your concern.
