"Future's End" Line-by-Line

STARLING: The betterment of mankind.

 

JANEWAY: It doesn't look like that.

 

^ Why? Because you're a socialist...

STARLING: Why do you think I want to go to the future, a vacation?

 

JANEWAY: To get more technology. That's why you're launching the timeship.

 

STARLING: I've cannibalized the ship itself as much as I can. There's nothing left to base a commercial product on.

 

JANEWAY: And the future is just waiting to be exploited.

 

STARLING: You just don't get it, do you. I created the microcomputer revolution.

 

JANEWAY: Using technology you should never have had.

 

STARLING: Irrelevant. My products benefit the entire world. Without me there would be no laptops, no internet, no barcode readers. What's good for Chronowerx is good for everybody. I can't stop now. One trip to the twenty-ninth century and I can bring back enough technology to start the next ten computer revolutions.

 

JANEWAY: If you even attempt to travel to the future you risk creating a temporal explosion that could cost billions of lives, including your own.

 

STARLING: I'm willing to take that risk.

 

JANEWAY: In my time, Mister Starling, no human being would dream of endangering the future to gain advantage in the present.

*mighty ironic, given what she eventually does in Endgame.

 

STARLING: Captain, the future you're talking about, that's nine hundred years from now. I can't be concerned about that right now. I have a company to run and a whole world full of people waiting for me to make their lives a little bit better.

 

JANEWAY: Computer, reactivate forcefield. Chronowerx stock is about to crash.

 

[Cellar]

PORTER: There are two forces at work in the world. The drive toward collectivity and the drive toward individuality. You are the former, and I am the latter.

 

TORRES: We told you, we are not from the United States Government, and we are not....

 

PORTER: The Beast has many heads and I'm looking at two of them.

 

CHAKOTAY: Listen, I used to think violence could be the solution to a problem, but it's not true.

 

PORTER: You are no patriot.

 

CHAKOTAY: I was a freedom fighter, so I thought. That gun will get you nowhere.
