Quotes 

• A.G. Robinson : You still don't understand. Starfleet doesn't just want a great pilot. They want a great captain.

• A.G. Robinson : Hey - I'll see ya out there.

• A.G. Robinson : Every time there's a problem with this project, you blame it on pilot error, or gravitational anomalies or some technical malfunction. But you're gonna have to face the truth this time, because there's nothing left to point a finger at: your father designed a lousy engine!

• A.G. Robinson : To Jonathan Archer, first skipper of the Starship Enterprise.

  [they drink] 

  A.G. Robinson : And one lucky SOB.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Luck had nothing to do with it.

  A.G. Robinson : It couldn't have been talent. I'm just waiting for Forrest to realize what a horrible mistake he made.

• [A.G. has been granted the first warp 2+ flight] 

  Commander Jonathan Archer : Congratulations.

  A.G. Robinson : You mean that?

  Commander Jonathan Archer : Of course not. I'm waiting for Forrest to realize what a horrible mistake he made.

• A.G. Robinson : You wanna talk about taking risks? You're a great pilot - maybe as good as me. But you're never gonna get out into deep space by playing it safe. When the first warp 5 starship is built, its captain won't be able to call home every time he needs to make a decision. He won't be able to turn to the Vulcans - unless he decides to take one with him.

• A.G. Robinson : By the time they figure out what's going on, we'll be halfway to Jupiter.

• Commander Jonathan Archer : NX Control to NX Alpha. You have permission to go to warp.

  A.G. Robinson : See you in a few light years.
