"Future's End" Line-by-Line

[Griffith Observatory - Rain's laboratory]

RAIN: Well if he doesn't I've got a six-pack in the fridge.

 

Starling's office

STARLING: Good work, Rain. Stay in touch.

 

Rain: Oh, what the hell. Anyone up there?

TORRES: That trip through the rift is still affecting our primary systems. Weapons are off-line, we blew three EPS conduits, and our main transporter buffer just crashed.

 

Kim: We've got an Away Team down there.

 

TORRES: I know. We've still got emergency transporters but they're short range.

 

Kim: How close to the surface would we have to get to beam them up?

 

TORRES: Pretty close. I'd say less than ten kilometers.

 

KIM: If we do that somebody's going to see us.

 

KAPLAN: Sir, I'm picking up an EM signal from the planet surface. It's directed at our co-ordinates.

 

Kim: On screen.

 

SETI MESSAGE [on viewscreen]: Greetings from the people of Earth.

 

KAPLAN: Shall I respond, sir?

 

Kim: Absolutely Not.

 

[Los Angeles - beach - Santa Monica]

JANEWAY: He appears to live on the street. That pushcart seems to contain all his belongings.

 

Chakotay: From what we can tell, he spends most of his time putting up literature about the end of the world.

Janeway's comm badge beeps.

 

JANEWAY: Janeway here.

 

[Bridge]

KIM: Captain, we've got a problem. We received a signal from the surface. It looks like a standard greeting designed for extraterrestrials.

 

Janeway: we've been detected.

 

KIM (over comm): It looks that way. We tracked the signal to...

[Bridge]
KIM: ... an observatory about twenty kilometres from your location.
