I Can See Why People Hate The Gazelle Speech

Archer: T'Pol, I've written this speech and I think it's great. Tell me what you think.
T'Pol : The reference to gazelles seems unneccesary.
Archer: It's a metaphor, T'Pol. We humans are like gazelles in some essential ways.
T'Pol : You are not small grazing quadropeds, as far as I've observed. It's possible your recent head injury was more severe than was apparent at the time.
Archer: I'm going to show this to Trip.
T'Pol : I will contact Doctor Phlox.

Archer's point was humans aren't like gazelles. I'm amazed at the number of people who get this wrong,. His point is humans will make mistakes and they will learn from those mistakes. T'pol points out that the Vulcans did the same.
 
^ Stupid facts, getting in the way of my jokes :( Here's another go:

T'Pol : The reference to gazelles seems unneccesary.
Archer: It's a poetic device, T'Pol. Unlike other animals, humans need a longer run-up, but get much further in the end.
T'Pol : I doubt the gazelles see it as a competition.
Archer: That's why they LOSE! You ever try gazelle tartare?

See , that was Archer's point. Get out of the way herbivores or become lunch!!!!
 
/Archer hands out DVDs of Wild Kingdom before every meeting with the Vulcans/

I'd like you to study these before we talk today.

Marlin Perkins: now there's a badass.

"While Jim's down there on the plains, wrestling a 900-foot anaconda, I'm sitting here in the studio drinking gin and tonic and reading from a TelePrompTer."
