"Broken Bow" Line-by-Line

TUCKER: I thought the whole point of this was to get away from the Vulcans.
 
T'POL: This confirms that I was formally transferred to your command at oh eight hundred hours. Reporting for duty.
(The Vulcan woman sniffs.)
 
ARCHER: Oh, I forgot; Vulcan females have a heightened sense of smell. I hope Porthos isn't too offensive to you.
 
T'POL: I've been trained to tolerate offensive situations.
 
ARCHER: While you may not share our enthusiasm about this mission, I expect you to follow our rules. What's said in this room and out on that Bridge is privileged information. I don't want every word I say being picked apart the next day by the Vulcan High Command.
 
T'POL: My reason for being here is not espionage. My superiors simply asked me to assist you.

[Ohh, how I love the scene with Trip and T'Pol. At the real end of ENT we see both sitting and holding their hands to give each other comfort, respect and love and sharing their pain and sadness. And so the circle closes. The scene can be understand also an allegory of Human/Vulcan relationship.]
 
T'POL: I didn't request this assignment Captain, and you can be certain that when the mission's over I'll be as pleased to leave this ship as you'll be to have me go.

(Porthos jumps up at her)
