[Archer is obsessed with writing a preface for the biography of his father, and recites the first page to Cmr. Tucker]

Captain Archer:
What do you think?

Commander Tucker:
Sounds good.

Captain Archer:
Let me read you the rest.

Commander Tucker:
I really need to get to work on this.

Captain Archer:
It's just a few more pages!

Commander Tucker:
How many more?

Captain Archer:
Nineteen.

Commander Tucker:
*Nineteen*? Are you writing the preface or the book?

Captain Archer:
[agitated] I've got a lot to say!

Commander Tucker:
No kidding!

Captain Archer:
[agitated] What's that supposed to mean?

Commander Tucker:
If I may, sir... it's a little long-winded.

Captain Archer:
[highly insulted] You're lucky you're a decent engineer, because you obviously don't know anything about writing!

Commander Tucker:
[agitated] I'm not the only one!
