"Caretaker" Line-by-Line

NEELIX [on viewscreen]: Unless of course, you had water.

 

JANEWAY: If you help us find our missing crew members, you can have all the water you want.

 

NEELIX [on viewscreen]: That sounds like a very reasonable arrangement.

 

JANEWAY: Good. We'll beam you over and tow your ship into our shuttle bay. Mister Tuvok, go to Transporter Room two and meet our guest.

 

NEELIX [on viewscreen]: Beam?

(gotta run, pleasure working with you as always! )

 

JANEWAY: We have a technology which can take you instantly from your ship to ours. It's quite harmless. May we?

(same here! )

 

[Transporter room]
TUVOK: Energize.

 

(Neelix checks that he is in one piece.)

NEELIX: Astonishing! You Federations are obviously an advanced culture.

 

Tuvok: The Federation is made up of many cultures. I am Vulcan.

 

Neelix: Neelix. Good to meet you!
(Neelix gives Tuvok a bear hug.)

 

NEELIX (Cont'd): Interesting... What exactly does all this... all this do?

 

TUVOK: I assure you that everything in this room has a specific function. However, it would take several hours to explain it all. I suggest we proceed to your quarters. Perhaps you would care for a bath.

 

NEELIX: A what?

 

[Ocampa hospital]
(Torres wakes with a start.)


KIM: It's okay. It's okay.

 

TORRES: Who are you?

 

KIM: My name is Kim. Harry Kim. I'm an ensign on the Starship Voyager. I was kidnapped from the array just like you were. I don't know where we are

 

TORRES: What was Starfleet doing at that array?

 

KIM: We were looking for you, actually. One minute we're in the Badlands, the next...

 

B'Elanna: You mean you were trying to capture us.

 

KIM: Yeah. Consider yourself captured. (pats himself down) Oh, I know I have a phaser here somewhere.
