[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:

but at one time most of my world was ruled by reptiles
00:00:06.631 --> 00:00:09.676
I wasn't aware of that A comet hit
00:00:09.884 --> 00:00:12.345
around 65 million years ago
00:00:12.554 --> 00:00:14.389
caused a mass extinction
00:00:14.597 --> 00:00:16.766
Most of the reptiles died out
00:00:16.975 --> 00:00:19.394
Mammals became the dominant species
00:00:19.602 --> 00:00:20.979
How unfortunate
00:00:21.187 --> 00:00:24.357
Still the reptiles might have come out on top
00:00:24.566 --> 00:00:27.152
if it hadn't been for a slight disadvantage
00:00:27.036 --> 00:00:28.945
And what was that
00:00:29.154 --> 00:00:32.448
They had brains the size of a walnut
00:00:33.783 --> 00:00:36.202
That's very small
00:00:36.411 --> 00:00:37.954
Apparently

it's a constant in the universe

00:00:46.921 --> 00:00:48.464
How many
00:00:50.999 --> 00:00:52.385
The reptiles didn't all die out
00:00:52.594 --> 00:00:57.473
Some evolved into snakes alligators turtles
00:00:57.682 --> 00:01:00.362
As a matter of fact one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco
00:01:00.056 --> 00:01:03.146
makes the most wonderful turtle soup
00:01:03.354 --> 00:01:06.399
You should try it sometime if you're ever in the area
00:01:08.061 --> 00:01:11.404
You want me to kill you
00:01:12.078 --> 00:01:14.449
I'm just making conversation
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.999
Relaying a few interesting facts
00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:22.006
about the world you're trying to destroy
00:01:22.248 --> 00:01:27.001
I'll reciprocate with an interesting fact of my own
00:01:30.215 --> 00:01:35.994
We know exactly where your ship is
00:01:37.007 --> 00:01:38.973
Is that so
00:01:39.182 --> 00:01:41.851
When we lost contact with our lunar outpost
00:01:42.002 --> 00:01:44.145
we scanned the vicinity
00:01:44.354 --> 00:01:49.999
and discovered it hiding
00:01:50.235 --> 00:01:54.364
Unless you tell me exactly what I want to know
00:01:54.572 --> 00:02:00.245
I'll dispatch a squadron right now
00:02:02.914 --> 00:02:07.999
