Degra: All right already. Keep your pants on.
Degra's First Officer: Sir! There's a ship approaching!
Degra: Shoot. Halt the weapon test and tell Dolim he can take his pants off after all.

Shran: Greetings! I'm from the Andorian National Kremlin of Lodestone Extracters.
Degra: (over the comm) You're the man from A.N.K.L.E.?

[quoteost_uid0]Archer: What's with the box of safety scissors?
T'Pol: They're for the Andorians. Surely we aren't letting them use real tools.

Reed: With your amazing engineer's touch?
Talas: You'd better believe it. I could get those phase cannons pumping out so much energy they'd --
Phlox: (over the comm) Stop it! STOP IT! I didn't set you two up. You're not allowed to have sexual tension!

Phlox: I switched it with Mr. Mayweather's. [/quoteost_uid0]Hee hee hee.

Heh. I like these sort of jokes.

T'Pol: Andorians are sinister.[/quoteost_uid0]
Heh. I like these sort of jokes too.
[quoteost_uid0]Reed: No! Don't go. Just because I resent your interference doesn't mean I don't think you're hot.
Talas: All right, I'll stay. But treat me with respect.
Reed: Sure, baby, whatever you say.[/quoteost_uid0]
Nice one!
[quoteost_uid0]Archer: There's only one way to find out for sure. How good an actor are you?

[quoteost_uid0]Archer: I've got it -- we'll steal it!
Shran: Why do you need to steal it if you've got it?[/quoteost_uid0]
[quoteost_uid0]Archer: I've been trying to remember what you use to repel vampires. It's Gralik! I'll have Chef put some in tonight's dinner.

I was thinking of Rocky and Bullwinkle with the anti-anti-missile-missile missile.

Hilarious, Zeke. It's banished all the lingering memories from Shrek 2 last night. Definitely worth a reread when I've forgotten all the jokes.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes. Also, the blurb refers to "Travis and Mayweather." I've fixed both on the Trek Nation copy, and I'll fix them on the 5MV copy when I get home.[/colorost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0="Wade, The Sane Commodore"][color=#000000ost_uid0]By the definition of week, I hope 'Enterprise Week' will yield four more new fivers.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]Actually, I'm not sure [iost_uid0]what[/iost_uid0] the skrell ENT Week is going to yield now. I'm thinking I may try to continue it until I'm out of episodes (saving "Zero Hour" for last, of course). That would be another nine days, I think.

If I do that, I'll change the name to Enterprise "Week."[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, I think you shouldn't start rushing it now. Pretty much all of your fivers are great. Wouldn't want to gain speed at the cost of quality. [/colorost_uid0]

But, Michiel, in Zeke time nine days won't take away from quality. The quality will be there...speed won't...
