Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: This cogenitor is treated like one of Phlox's leeches. You pull it out of its tank when you need it, then you... throw it back in.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: Tri-gender reproduction is not uncommon.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That's not what I'm talking about. This is a question of... Human rights.
- Sub-Commander T'Pol: They're not Human.
- Vissian Chief Engineer: You might find this difficult to believe, but this polymer is composed of over 200 naturally occurring elements.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: That's impossible!
- Vissian Chief Engineer: I read in your database that you've discovered only 92. I understand how this might seem unnerving.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: A lot of things around here do, but, um... I'm trying to keep an open mind.
- [In connection with the Vissian cogenitor, Dr. Phlox and Tucker are talking about alien impregnation techniques]
- Dr. Phlox: In this case, I imagine the cogenitor provides an enzyme, which facilitates conception.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: What do you mean by 'provides'?
- Dr. Phlox: Well, first the female has to...
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: No - no, no, no, don't tell me. I don't think I wanna know.
- Dr. Phlox: Oh, well - hm... I have pictures!
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Uh, I think I'll pass.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: It'll be nice to have a first contact where no one's thinking about charging weapons.
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: [of the cogenitor] They treat her like a pet. Kept in a room, not taught to read or write, no name. Porthos has a name!
- Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: So, you've heard of these cogenitors?
- Dr. Phlox: [nods] Not all species are limited to two sexes. In fact, I, er... have it on good authority that the Rigelians have four. Or was it five?
