The Best Quotes from Enterprise Season 5

Captain

That season had some great dialogue. Sure, a lot of the episodes were terrible, but all the eps had some great lines.

Don't get me wrong, 'Debugging Entry' was horrible. But...

Trip: *port impulse engine flames out after testing* "...Isn't the galley's meat locker around that section?"
Travis: *nods*
Trip: *yells* "Guess we're having barbeque tonight!"

That was a classic. And who could forget this bit from 'Resolutions'...*Trip is about to go down on T'Pol during one of their neuropressure sessions, but suddenly hesitates*
T'Pol: "What is wrong?"
Trip: "It... it... it's... it's green."

I'll have to watch the S5 boxset again, because I can't remember all of them.
 
Hmmmm. Best quotes from Enterprise season 5?

Phlox: "Trip's not dead."

You guys totally forgot the scene where Archer bursts into Reed's quarters and finds him putting on one of T'Pol's catsuits!!!
 
I love the B-story in Barbarians where Trip gets addicted to shocking himself with electrical conduits after he survived what happened in TATV.

"I... *bzzt* can't... *bzzzzzzt* stop... *bzzzzzzzzt* my*bzzt*self."
 
Archer: Daniels, what the hell are you doing back here, and what's so damned funny?

Daniels: Oh, Captain Archer...hee, hee, hee...I'm still playing that little joke on the schmucks in the 24th Century. They so took it bait, line, and sinker that I have to keep this going. Morons.

Archer: What the hell are you talking about?

Daniels: This stupid fat guy named Riker was crying and moaning to the woman he's too much of a baby to ask out about some dumb mission. He couldn't figure out whether to tattle tale to his captain about it. Now that he did, I'm going have Trip's ghost haunt him while he thinks about her and their Klingon friend doing the deed.

Archer: The deed?

Daniels: Oh, come on Jonathan. You're not that much of a straight arrow. I see how you check out T'Pol's ass.

Archer: Hey! Enough! Get the hell off my ship!

Daniels: Alright, alright...gezzz...you think I'm bad, I should have Q come visit you.

Archer: Q?

Daniels: Nevermind. I have all the information I need. Now this holodeck program will really mess with his brain.

Archer: Holodeck?

Daniels: I've said too much...goodbye Captain!

[Daniels leaves]

Archer: Hmmm...why am I thinking about T'Pol and lunch at the same time all of a sudden?

Trip [surprising Archer]: Hey...that's my piece of ass and always will be.

T'Pol [surprsing both]: Is that so? I'm nothing but a piece of ass?

[silence]

T'Pol: Indeed, I am a good piece of ass, aren't I? Too bad nobody's getting it for quite some time.

Trip and Archer: Damn.
 
I caught Q Who?, the first TNG episode with the Borg last night and a line of dialogue interested me. Forcing Picard into admitting "I need you!", he responds by saying "That was a difficult admission. Another man would be humiliated to say those words. Another man would've rather died than ask for help."

Makes me wonder if Q did indeed pop back and visit Archer... Putting him in a position where the situation steadly gets worse for the NX-01, until it's good Captain eats humble pie.
 
I would have loved to see Q as well in ENT -- Archer didn't have pride problems as bad as Picard, but he did have things Q could pick at. Considering Archer's shift in season 3, it would have been interesting to see Q put him in a very tough ethical situation. Archer was inconsistent at times (as are we all), but he had a very stern dedication to his mission that would have been great fodder.

I'm thinking of the torture scenario from the MACO book, Last Full Measure as precedent.

And now my contribution...

Admiral Gardner: Here is your newest officer, Captain.

[Archer looks stunned as Shran walks into the room wearing a Starfleet uniform]

Shran: What are you staring at, Pinkskin! We need to talk about this jumpsuit. It rides nearly as badly as that thong I wore in the Imperial army!
 
Q on ENT would have been great:

Q: Hello Captain Archer.

Archer: Who the hell are you?

Q: I'm...Q.

Archer: Q? Q who?

Q: Goodness, if I had nickel everytime someone said that to me...

Archer: How the hell did you get into my quarters? My doors are sealed!

Q: Oh, if you only knew. I give a new definition to the term, "with the snap of a finger."

Archer: Let me quess...you're from the future.

Q: Well...that's 33% correct. I'm also from the past and the present.

Archer: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Q: My, my...you have a worse temper than Jean-Luc. I didn't think that was possible.

Archer: Who???

Daniels: Q! I thought we had an agreement.

Q: Oh, for goodness sake...the time traveling thorn in my side returns.

Daniels: I could say the same thing about you.

Q: I was here first!

Daniels: No, I was here first.

Q: NO! I was here five minutes ago.

Daniels: NO! I first appeared here a couple years ago.

Q: Hmmm...ok, you got me. So what does that mean anyway?

Archer: Wait a minute!!! I want you both off my ship NOW!

Q and Daniels: Na!

Archer: "Na"?

Q: Hearing problems, Captain? I can fix that for you.

[Q snaps his finger.]

Q: There, how's that?

[Instantly, Archer slams his open palms against his ears and screams.]

Q [whispering]: Whoops...maybe that wasn't the problem after all.

[Q snaps his finger again.]

Q: There...back to normal.

Daniels: Jonathan, I'm sorry. This is my fault.

T'Pol [surprising all]: What isn't?

Q: Yowza!!! Now THAT makes me want to be human again. Hellllllloooo mama! :drool:

Daniels: No argument there.

[Communication beep]

Archer: Yes, go ahead.

Trip [over comm]: I TOLD you! That's MY piece of ass!

Daniels: Actually, you told Jonathan, not me. But...we should leave it up to the Commander. [To T'Pol] As a piece of ass, who rightfully claims you?

T'Pol: That would be...Ensign Sato.

Archer, Daniels, Q, and Trip: YOWZA!!!!!!!
 
I think whoever wrote the script for that episode where Mayweather and Hoshi are Tuvix'd into one character -- a compelling character! I also thought it was very gutsy of the writers to actually leave them Tuvix'd permenantly; I gues they had to make room for Shran somehow.
 
Jury Forman: On the Charge of Murder in the First Degree, we the jury find the defendent, John Fredrick Paxton, guilty.
 
The one where Porthos takes over the ship and ends the episode with the line "Where no dog has gone before.", then Trip's ghost comes out of nowhere and yells "Copy cat!".
 
Archer: Daniels? What's going on?
Daniels: It's my latest regeneration! It's gone horribly wrong!

----------------------------

Reed: It must be bad luck for them, losing warp drive in the middle of Federation space like that.
Archer: Maybe it sucks!
Reed: Of course, Captain.

----------------------------

Archer: I've had enough of this, Future Guy!
Future Guy: I never get hassled like this at Bennigans. I'm goin' over there for a bloomin' onion... man.
 
Archer attending a Klingon dinner.

Archer: "This is good. What is it?"
Klingon: "We call it gra'tug. You call it Porthos."
 
Archer to T'Pol: "I am captain of Earth's fastest ship. I will be known as the founder of the Federation. Fame and fortune await my descendants. It is logical for you to choose me."

Daniels popping in: "For some reason you will become a forgotten man. Even captains of future reincarnations of Enterprise will not mention your name."

T'Pol: "Has anyone seen Trip?"
 
My favourite ep has to be Retribution. The bit on the bridge when Mayweather turns round and lays the smackdown on Archer saying "set the course your damn self".

After four years of never speaking it was a welcome change.

Following up with the vigorous decon scene with Hoshi was just a touch of genius.

Not sure casting Michael Moore for the Chef cameo was a good idea though...
