"Breaking the Ice" Line-by-Line

[BlueStuff]

REED: No, too predictable.

[Athena28]

TRAVIS: Snowball fight.

[BlueStuff]

REED: The EV suits would take all the fun out of that. We'll just have to see how the spirit moves us when we get there.
(they land on the comet, and stand on the ragged and pockmarked surface. Travis has a big, big grin)

[Engineering]

HOSHI: Commander, you wanted to see me?

[BlueStuff]

TUCKER: Take a look at something, will you? I've been running diagnostics and I found some kind of power surge in the transceiver array.

[Athena28]

HOSHI: Looks like an encrypted transmission. It came from the Vulcan ship.

[BlueStuff]

TUCKER: Who was it sent to?

[Athena28]

[Ready room]

ARCHER: You're sure this was sent to her quarters?

[BlueStuff]

TUCKER: I wish I wasn't. Did she say anything to you about it?

[Orac]

Archer: Not a word. We had an agreement. She promised not to speak to the Vulcans without telling me.

[BlueStuff]

TUCKER: Looks like she's having some trouble keeping her promises. Should I have Hoshi decrypt it?

[Orac]

Archer: Tell her it's top priority.

[Athena28]

[Bridge]

HOSHI: Whenever you're ready, Captain.

[BlueStuff]

TUCKER: (at Reed's station) You sure you want me here for this? I've got a lot of work to do.

[Orac]

Archer: Stay put, Commander. This is important. Start the recording. To the students of Ms Malvin's fourth grade class at the Worley Elementary School in Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland. This is Captain Archer aboard the starship Enterprise. On behalf of the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for your transmission. We all got a real kick out of your drawings and letters. You asked a lot of interesting questions. I wish we had time to answer all of them, but if we did that, we wouldn't get much exploring done. So I've selected a few, and hopefully our answers will give you a better idea of what life is like out here. Liam Brennan asks 'what do you eat?' For the most part, the same things you eat at home. Our Chef can make anything from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to turkey with all the trimmings. We have a hydroponic greenhouse onboard where we grow fruits and vegetables, and we can also replicate certain foods with our protein resequencer. Here's one from Geoff Miles. 'Is dating allowed on Enterprise?' Well, it's not discouraged, but there isn't a lot of privacy on a starship. Most of our crew share quarters with at least one other person, so it wouldn't exactly be practical. But if two crewmembers decide that they really like each other there are a lot of places they can go to look at the stars. Chloe O'Shannon wants to know, 'how do we talk to aliens?' I think I'll give that one to my Communications Officer, Ensign Hoshi Sato.
