"Babel One"/"United"/"The Aenar" Line-by-Line

[Orac]

T'Pol: If anything happens to you.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

ARCHER: Then I'd better make sure that nothing does.

 

[Orac]

[Bridge]

(Hoshi is still at her station, going through Andorian documents.)

Travis: Didn't expect to find you up this late.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

HOSHI: What are you doing here?

 

[Orac]

Travis: Too wired to sleep. Hard to believe the Captain's going to be fighting a duel to the death in a few hours.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

HOSHI: Barbaric, if you ask me.

 

[Enterprise1981]

TRAVIS: What are you looking at?

 

[Orac]

Hoshi: Code of the Ushann. T'Pol wants me to go over it again. See if I can find a way out of this mess.

 

[Enterprise1981]

TRAVIS: The last I heard, the Captain sounded determined to go through with it.

 

[Orac]

Hoshi: She wants me to find a loophole. Some way to forfeit without offending the Andorians.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

TRAVIS: Two of us could get through that a lot faster.

[Mess hall]

(The table is covered in PADDs.)
TRAVIS: Look at this. Either combatant can postpone a duel indefinitely if there are no children to continue his clan.

 

[Athena28]

HOSHI: How does that help us?

 

[Enterprise1981]

TRAVIS: As far as I know, Captain Archer doesn't have any kids. If he's killed, his clan would die with him.

 

[Athena28]

HOSHI: That rule only applies if he's married.

 

[Orac]

Travis: Don't suppose we can find him a wife in the next four hours.

 

[Enterprise1981]

HOSHI: Even if we could, something tells me the Andorians would cry foul. There are twelve thousand amendments to this ridiculous honor code. There has got to be one that can get him out of this.

 

[Leandar]

Travis: Instead of looking for a loophole, maybe we should be trying to find a way for the Captain to win.

 

[Orac]

Hoshi: If the Captain wins, Shran's dead. The alliance falls apart.

 

[Athena28]

TRAVIS: Have you ever been to Nobelia Prime?

 

[Orac]

Hoshi: Not recently.
