REPTILIAN [on viewscreen]: You'll all be dealt with as the Council sees fit.
ARCHER: Fire.
(They exchange torpedoes and phase cannon fire.)
ARCHER: Evasive maneuvers. Keep firing. Target their weapons.
(More shooting.)

T'POL: The Reptilian ship has been destroyed.
(T'Pol offers him the big spherical container she brought.)
T'POL: You might find this useful. Portable power cells.

TUCKER: Repair crews are starting tomorrow. Thought I'd try and get them some power. These assemblies are all fused together. I've spent the last hour trying to isolate the damaged relays.
[Another strongest scene of all ENT saga. Beautifully written, directed and played. Not only Blalock and Trinneer but light/dark of the nearly destroyed ship take us with in this very clostropic,emotinal atmosphere. ]

TUCKER: Courtesy of our new Xindi friends? Damn neighborly of them.
TRIP: Not unless you can resurrect the dead. Crewman Taylor had a real knack for this kind of thing. But Taylor's not here, is she, and neither is Crewman Kamata, or Ensign Marcel or a dozen others. So forgive me if I don't want the damn power cells!
(He kicks the container across the corridor. He's barely holding it together now.)
We found Taylor over there, outside her quarters. She was probably trying to get to her station. If she'd made it a few more meters I wouldn't be trying to write this damn letter. 'Cause every time I start I hear myself saying, what a fine young woman she was, how smart and full of potential. And I realize that I'm not thinking about Taylor at all. I'm thinking about Elizabeth.
(His voice is breaking, tears welling up in his eyes-- and in T'Pol's eyes too.)
There's so many people dead. I tried not to see her any differently than the other seven million, so I've spent the last nine months trying to pretend she was just another victim. But she's my sister, T'Pol. My baby sister...
(Finally he breaks down and weeps. T'Pol reaches out hesitantly, puts her hand on his chest. He takes her hand, holding on for dear life. Finally gulps back the tears and finds his voice again.)
TRIP: I envy you Vulcans.
(One of the most emotional and cathartic scenes in the whole series, as Trip finally opens up and grieves for Elizabeth, and T'Pol uses the emotions she can't control anymore, to empathize with him. Amazing acting by both Trinneer and Blalock. And as @sekundant said, the surroundings of the broken ship complimenting Trip's breakdown. Outstanding scene.

T'POL: You think that the loss of a colleague or friend doesn't affect us? It does. But if we give in to those emotions, they overwhelm us. You're the ones to be envied.
[ I don't care, if people says " see, typicall Trek, at the end so human centric and humans are always superior". I think this scene tells us how complicated and fragile we are. ]
