Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III
- Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Is it true you were the first person to go through?
- Dr. Emory Erickson: I wasn't about to let anyone else do it.
- Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Ah, you must've been scared.
- Dr. Emory Erickson: Terrified. That original transporter took a full minute and a half to cycle through. Felt like a year. You could actually feel yourself being taken apart, put back together. When I materialized, first thing I did was lose my lunch.
- [Trip laughs]
- Dr. Emory Erickson: Second thing I did was get stone drunk: trick I learned from Zefram Cochrane. Now, there was a man who knew the benefits of a little "liquid courage."
- Dr. Emory Erickson: I'm disappointed that you think less of me.
- Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You liked me better when I worshiped your shadow?
- Dr. Emory Erickson: Yes.
- [Tucker looks at him awkwardly]
- Dr. Emory Erickson: It's an honest answer.
- Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I'd think you'd be out of practice.
- Dr. Emory Erickson: You may wanna reserve judgment on my actions until you've lost a son.
- Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I *have* lost someone close. And I'd do almost anything to get her back - except put other people in danger.
