Cmdr. T'Pol
- [Enterprise is approaching the Berengaria system]
- Commander T'Pol: A Vulcan science vessel surveyed the seventh planet over 50 years ago. The file states it's an M-class world with a flourishing ecosystem. No intelligent life.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Sounds promising.
- Commander T'Pol: They did report one distinctive feature which bears mentioning.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: And that is?
- Commander T'Pol: A species of flying reptile, some reportedly over 200 meters long. They're also said to breathe fire.
- [the crew's expressions become a mixture of curiosity and skepticism]
- Commander T'Pol: There's been lingering questions over the accuracy of this report.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: [suppressing a grin] We can't wait to find out.
- [T'Pol has told Tucker that they share a psychic bond]
- Commander Tucker: So, if we're bonded... what does this have to do with me not being affected by the Orions?
- Commander T'Pol: I'm immune to the pheromones because of my Vulcan physiology.
- Commander Tucker: And you're making me immune?
- Commander T'Pol: Apparently.
- Commander Tucker: Well... I don't know whether to be relieved or... really worried.
- Commander T'Pol: At least we've learned something about the Orions.
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: Yeah, the women are in charge!
- Commander T'Pol: It proves that even the most disagreeable species have some... positive attributes.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: It almost sounded like you were making a joke.
- Commander Tucker: At least trying to make one.
- Commander T'Pol: I assure you, if I ever decide to make a joke, you'll know about it.
- Commander Tucker: There it is again.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: T'Pol, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were picking up some of Trip's bad habits.
- Navaar: Please, release us.
- [Archer's hand moves toward the button to open the doors]
- Commander T'Pol: Captain!
- [Archer comes to his senses at the last second]
- Navaar: I'm obviously not the only woman with power over you.
- Commander T'Pol: I've been hearing some concerns from the crew.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Concerns?
- Commander T'Pol: The Orion women. Their presence is becoming disruptive.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: You're telling me. The crew isn't used to having Orions on board.
- Commander T'Pol: It's more than that. Our guests visited the mess hall this morning. As a result, twelve crewmen reported late for their shifts.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: I get the picture.
- Commander T'Pol: It's primarily their attire.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Or lack of it!
- Commander T'Pol: There's a long-held belief that when a Vulcan mates, there's a shared psychic bond.
- Commander Tucker: We didn't mate.
- Commander T'Pol: Uh-huh.
- [rolls eyes]
