[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.
