"Broken Bow" Line-by-Line

ARCHER: I didn't lose the Klingon. He was taken, and I'm going to find out who took him.
 
T'POL: How do you plan to do that? Space is very big, Captain. A shadow on your sensors won't help you find them. This is a foolish mission.
 
ARCHER: Come with me.

[Ready room]

ARCHER: I'm not interested in what you think about this mission so take your Vulcan cynicism and bury it along with your repressed emotions.
 
T'POL: Your reaction to this situation is a perfect example of why your species should remain in its own star system.
 
ARCHER: I've been listening to you Vulcans tell us what not to do all my entire life. I watched my father work his ass off while your scientists held back just enough information to keep him from succeeding. He deserved to see that launch. You may have life spans of two hundred years, we don't.
 
ARCHER: No, I'm not. And neither are you. Now get the hell out there and make yourself useful.

[Sickbay]

ARCHER: What have you found, Doctor?
 
PHLOX: Mister Klaang was right about one thing: he's a Suliban. But unless I'm mistaken, he's no ordinary one.
 
PHLOX: His DNA is Suliban but his anatomy has been altered. Look at this lung: five bronchial lobes, you see. It should only have three. And look at the alveoli clusters: they've been modified to process different kinds of atmospheres.
 
PHLOX: Yes, I suppose I am, but this was no accident, no freak of nature. This man was the recipient of some very sophisticated genetic engineering. Watch this: subcutaneous pigment sacs. A bio-mimetic garment. And, the eyes are my favorite: compound retinas. He most likely saw things even your sensors couldn't detect.
 
PHLOX: No, certainly not! The Suliban are no more evolved than humans. It is very impressive work, though. I've never seen anything quite like it.
 
TUCKER: How can you be so damn sure what our sensors can do?
