Captain Jonathan Archer : You're putting Earth at risk because of a border dispute with the Vulcans?
Commander Shran : We disrupted the Xindi test, took their weapon. We may have helped *save* your world!
Captain Jonathan Archer : I guess I'm not familiar with the Andorian concept of help!

Captain Jonathan Archer : [of the Andorians] They're here to help, T'Pol.
