Commander Dolum : Patience is for the dead.

Commander Dolum : I had no idea that humans were so resilient. It's not a trait found in most primate species.

Commander Dolum : You don't want to know my specialty! Captain Archer : Let me guess... stinking up the room?

[Archer is being interrogated violently by a Reptilian]  Captain Archer : I'll bet you didn't know this, but at one time, most of my world was ruled by reptiles. Commander Dolum : I wasn't aware of that. Captain Archer : A comet hit around 65 million years ago caused a mass extinction. Most of the reptiles died out. Mammals became the dominant species. Commander Dolum : How unfortunate. Captain Archer : Still, the reptiles might have come out on top, if it hadn't been for a slight disadvantage. Commander Dolum : And what was that? Captain Archer : They had brains the size of a walnut. That's very small. Apparently, it's a constant in the universe. Commander Dolum : [resisting the urge to strangle Archer]  Earth vessels... how many? Captain Archer : The reptiles didn't all die out. Some evolved into snakes, alligators, turtles. As a matter of fact, one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco makes the most wonderful turtle soup. You should try it sometimes if you're ever in the area. Commander Dolum : [putting his hand to Archer's throat]  You want me to kill you? Captain Archer : Just making conversation.
