- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I have Pa'nar Syndrome. It doesn't make a difference how I contracted it.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: It makes a lot of difference. You're not a member of this minority. He forced himself on you, you said it yourself.
- Dr. Phlox: He's right, T'Pol, you should tell them.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: He is not right. If I used that as a defense as a way to keep from being taken off Enterprise, I'd be condoning their prejudice, and in the process indicting every member of the minority. I won't do that.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: "You Humans are too... volatile, too irrational, too narrow-minded." That's what I heard for years - from every Vulcan I met. But we don't hold a candle to you when it comes to narrow-minded. We got rid of bigotry nearly a century ago. We're not afraid of diversity. We don't persecute it, we embrace it. If you call yourselves enlightened, you have to accept people who are different than you are.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Well - I've got to get back to my warp engine. The... plasma's running a little hot.
- Feezal: I know how it feels.
- Dr. Oratt: The accusation against T'Pol stands. It's not open for debate.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Where I come from, everything's open for debate. And if I read these protocols correctly, so is the accusation you made against my Science Officer.
- Dr. Oratt: You're wasting your time.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: It's mine to waste!
- Dr. Yuris: [referring to T'Pol] The mind meld was performed against her will.
- Dr. Oratt: Can you verify this?
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Why? So you can perpetuate your double standard? Condemn the infected when they meld by choice and sympathize with them when they don't?
- [Trip feels that he is being seduced by Dr. Phlox' wife Feezal]
- Commander Tucker: You gotta understand, I've been a perfect gentleman; absolutely nothing's happened. She's trying to... She's, she's, um... making advances, if you know what I mean.
- Dr. Phlox: [intrigued] Sexual advances?
- Commander Tucker: I'm afraid so.
- Dr. Phlox: [delighted] Has she offered to give you a rose petal bath?
- Commander Tucker: No, no. No, nothing like that.
- Dr. Phlox: Oh, any man would be a fool to ignore the romantic overtures of a healthy Denobulan woman! Don't you find her attractive?
- Commander Tucker: Oh, sure. I-I mean, no, she's your wife!
- Dr. Phlox: What does that have to do with it?
- Commander Tucker: She's your wife?
- Dr. Phlox: Oh, nonsense! Nonsense! You're too concerned with Human morality. I thought you wanted to learn about new cultures. Isn't that why you joined Starfleet?
- Commander Tucker: Why, of course it is! But I was brought up believing you don't play around with another man's wife. I don't think I'm ever gonna change my mind about that.
- Dr. Phlox: As you wish. Your loss.
- [Tucker is wondering whether to talk to Dr. Phlox about Feezal's advances]
- Lieutenant Malcolm Reed: It might be a lot easier to avoid her advances than get Phlox angry. I once saw him lose his temper when one of his creatures bit him. It wasn't a pretty sight.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: If you're not going to defend yourself, the least you can do is speak for this minority you're so eager to protect. You said you didn't want to condone the attitude of these doctors. Your silence would do just that.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: You need to understand... I won't tell them how I got the disease.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: I'll go along with that. I promise. But *you've* got to understand, I'm not gonna give you up without a fight.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Why jeopardize your career to help someone you despise?
- Dr. Yuris: If I despised you, I'd be despising myself. I'm part of the minority.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: With your permission, I'll be contacting the High Command. I don't intend to let Yuris be dismissed without a fight.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [embarrassed] Look, uh... uh, I'm very flattered, but... aren't you a married woman?
- Feezal: I'm a woman. And that's all that matters, isn't it?
- [Feezal is stroking her foot along Tucker's leg]
- Feezal: [referring to an earlier comment from Sato] I wasn't exactly... pulling your leg, was I?
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: No. Not exactly.
- Dr. Yuris: I'm sorry. I had to tell them the truth. You should do the same.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: I have nothing to say to them.
- Dr. Strom: Our culture is governed by rules. We're not about to ignore them.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: There are no rules telling you to oppress minorities.
- [last lines]
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Maybe this incident will encourage others to speak out.
- Captain Jonathan Archer: Let's hope so.
