"Year of Hell" Line-by-Line

TORRES: All right.

 

SEVEN: Phoenix.

 

KIM: What?

 

Seven: The correct response to your query, the vessel Ensign Kim was describing. It was designated the Phoenix.

 

KIM: Not bad. I didn't realise you knew so much about Earth history.

 

SEVEN: I don't, but the Borg were present during those events.

 

Kim: Really?

 

SEVEN: It is a complicated story. Perhaps another time.

 

TORRES: I think so.

 

(Bridge)

Chakotay: Transverse bulkheads. We've set up emergency force fields between all decks and every section. In the event of a cataclysmic breach most of us will be protected.

 

Janeway: Ingenious.

 

CHAKOTAY: Actually, you can thank Mister Paris. He came up with the idea.

 

Paris: I was inspired by an ancient steamship, the Titanic. The Engineers of the day constructed a series of special bulkheads, kind of like a honeycomb, that would lower into place if they suffered a major hull breach. In theory, they could stay afloat even with half of the ship filled with water.

 

JANEWAY: The Titanic? As I recall, it sank.

 

Paris: Lets just say I've made a few improvements.

 

Janeway: I knew your fixation with history would come in handy someday. Good work.

 

EMH [OC]: Doctor to Lieutenant Paris.

 

PARIS: Go ahead, Doc.

 

EMH [OC]: Report to the mess hall at once. More wounded are on the way.

 

PARIS: I'll be right there. I'm a popular guy today.
