Quotes 

• Captain Jonathan Archer : There was something familiar about all this; but I couldn't put my finger on it until I found this speech Zefram Cochrane made eighty-nine years ago. When I was a kid, I read everything I could about him. It took me a while, but I finally found it in the database. He was giving a commencement address at Princeton, when he started to talk about what really happened during First Contact. He mentioned a group of cybernetic creatures from the future, who tried to stop his first warp flight when he was living in Montana. He said they were defeated by a group of Humans, who were also from the future.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : As I recall, Cochrane was famous for his imaginative stories. He was also known to be frequently intoxicated.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : No one took him seriously. And he recanted the whole thing a few years later; but you have to admit, there are similarities.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : [reading from the computer]  He said their ultimate goal was "to enslave the Human race."

  Captain Jonathan Archer : If he was right... they might be heading back to their homeworld, so they can try again.

• [after being infected with Borg nanoprobes, Dr. Phlox has come up with a drastic radiation therapy as a treatment] 

  Dr. Phlox : [hands Archer a hypospray]  You, er, may want to keep this, in the event I'm unsuccessful.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : What is it?

  Dr. Phlox : A cure, of sorts. It contains a neural toxin that will terminate my synaptic functions within a matter of seconds.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Aren't you jumping the gun a little?

  Dr. Phlox : I have no intention of turning into one of those... cybernetic creatures.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Jonathan Archer : They told their homeworld how to find Earth.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Did you learn where the message was sent?

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Somewhere deep in the Delta Quadrant.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Then I doubt there's any immediate danger. It would take at least 200 years for a subspace message to reach the Delta Quadrant, assuming it's received at all.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Sounds to me like we've only postponed the invasion until what - the 24th century?

• Sub-Commander T'Pol : They're disrupting our plasma network. Main power is failing.

  Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : We're losing weapons.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : They set us up.

  Ensign Hoshi Sato : They're hailing us. Audio only.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : This is Captain...

  The Borg (voice) : You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

• Captain Jonathan Archer : They say doctors make the worst patients.

• [Archer and Reed have returned after placing explosive charges on the Arctic transport turned Borg vessel] 

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Did you find the research team?

  Captain Jonathan Archer : [darkly]  There isn't anyone on that ship we can help anymore.
