MARY REED [on monitor]: Is he all right?

 

ARCHER: He's fine.

 

Stuart Reed: Is he in some kind of trouble?

Mary Reed: Yes, yes, it's September 2nd.

 

STUART REED: We haven't seen our son on his birthday for quite a few years.

 

MARY REED [on monitor]: He called from San Francisco to let us know he'd been assigned to Enterprise but we haven't heard from him since.

 

Stuart: What are Malcolm's duties in your ship, Captain?

 

ARCHER: He's my Armory Officer.

 

Stuart: Well, his grandfather would be pleased. He was an Ordinance Officer himself, in the Royal Navy.
