Velakian doctor: "You two are not from the same planet."
(Archer and T'Pol share odd look)
T'Pol: "No. We may look alike, but the similiarity ends there." |
Archer: "We could stay and help them."
T'Pol: "The Vulcans stayed to help Earth 90 years ago. We're still there."
Archer: "I never thought I'd say this, but... I'm beginning to understand how the Vulcan must have felt." |
| Phlox: "Their culture is different. It's their way." |
Phlox: "Forgive me for saying so, but I believe your compassion for these people is affecting your judgement."
Archer: "My compassion guides my judgement." |
Phlox: "Sir, it would go against all my principles if I didn't ask you to reconsider."
Archer: "I have reconsidered. I've spent the whole night reconsidering . And what I decided goes against all my principles. Some day, my people are going to come up with some sort of a doctrine, something what tells us what we can and can't do out here; should and shouldn't do. But until somebody tells me that they've drafted that... directive, I'm going to have to remind myself every day... that we didn't came out here to play God." |
