Azati Prime Line-byLine

REPTILIAN: His name will go down in history. It will be spoken with reverence, a testament to the superiority of the cold-blooded.
 
ARCHER: I'll bet you didn't know this, but at one time most of my world was ruled by reptiles.
 
ARCHER: A comet hit, around sixty-five million years ago. Caused a mass extinction. Most of the reptiles died out. Mammals became the dominant species.
 
ARCHER: Still, the reptiles might have come out on top if it hadn't been for a slight disadvantage.
 
ARCHER: They had brains the size of a walnut. That's very small. Apparently it's a constant in the universe.
 
REPTILIAN: (trying very hard not to throttle him there and then) Earth vessels. How many?
 
ARCHER: The reptiles didn't all die out. Some evolved into snakes, alligators, turtles. As a matter of fact one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco makes the most wonderful turtle soup. You should try it sometime if you're ever in the area.
 
ARCHER: I'm just making conversation. Relaying a few interesting facts about the world you're trying to destroy.
 
REPTILIAN: When we lost contact with our lunar outpost, we scanned the vicinity and discovered it hiding. Unless you tell me exactly what I want to know I'll dispatch a squadron right now. No more conversation? I hope you had a chance to say goodbye to your crew.
