• Major Malcolm Reed : Perhaps it was a pet, owned by one of the original crew.

  Dr. Phlox : Unless one of them owned a velociraptor, I find it extremely unlikely.

• Lt. Commander T'Pol : I notice you've been making extensive use of the library database.

  Dr. Phlox : I was merely researching classical literature. I wanted to compare our major works with their counterparts in the other universe. I skimmed a few of the more... celebrated narratives. The stories were similar in some respects, but their characters were... weak, and compassionate. With the exception of Shakespeare, of course. From what I could tell, his plays were equally grim in both universes.

• Lt. Commander T'Pol : What's Major Reed's condition?

  Dr. Phlox : Hm... At this point, he could go either way. No doubt there'll be several discreet celebrations if he should expire.

• [T'Pol and Soval are trying to convince a rather reluctant Phlox to join them in their cause] 

  Lt. Commander T'Pol : There's an old tradition: if someone saves the Emperor's life, it's said there's no request he can refuse him. Consider the possibilities - a medical facility of your own with unlimited resources. You could conduct experiments as you see fit.

  Crewman Soval : Don't forget the females.

  Dr. Phlox : Females?

  Crewman Soval : You'll be able to choose as many concubines as you'd like.

  Dr. Phlox : [ponders this]  If the Emperor were my patient, I'd be obligated to save his life. I suppose what you're suggesting... isn't that different.
