"In a Mirror, Darkly" Line-by-Line

ARCHER: The rift was unstable. It was too dangerous to send one of their own ships through, so they transmitted a distress call into the opening, hoping to lure a ship from the other side. Their plan worked brilliantly.

 

HOSHI: How did you learn all this?

 

ARCHER: The Tholians rely on outside laborers. Humanoids. Some of them can be bought for the right price.

 

TUCKER: I hope you didn't pay too much.

 

ARCHER: My contact transmitted these images before his signal was jammed.

 

TUCKER: You can barely see anything.

 

ARCHER: Computer, enhance grid three-alpha.

(Just sticking out of the moon is the saucer section of NCC-1764.)

 

FORREST: An Earth ship?

 

ARCHER: According to some theories, everything that exists in our universe should also exist there.

 

HOSHI: Another Terran Empire? Another Starfleet?

 

TUCKER: So what? How does this help us?

 

ARCHER: The Tholians quantum-dated a piece of the hull. This ship is not only from another universe, it's from another time. About a hundred years into the future. Imagine the technology we can find on that ship. New tactical systems, advanced bio-weapons. Engines that can reach speeds we can only dream of. All of it ours for the taking!

 

T'POL: This is ludicrous, Captain. Someone has fabricated this evidence to lure us here. Commander Archer is guilty of assault and mutiny.

 

FORREST: That's enough, Commander.

 

T'POL: Sir, I believe we should send...

 

FORREST: I said shut up! We're investigating this. Get that cloaking device working.

 

[Engineering]

T'POL: The Captain wants a progress report.

 

TUCKER: I'll need another minute to calibrate the field converters. I spent four hours in the Booth because of you.

 

T'POL: Perhaps you should direct your anger at Commander Archer.

 

TUCKER: You disabled the alarms in that junction and made it look like I did it.
