"Caretaker" Line-by-Line

KES: I never should have gone to the surface. I'm too curious. I'm told it's my worst failing.

 

NEELIX: No, no, it's a wonderful quality. Your most endearing.

 

JANEWAY: Would you be willing to take us underground to look for our missing crew?

 

KES: I'm afraid Jabin was right. There's no way to get down. The tunnel I came out has been sealed.

 

Janeway: We don't need a tunnel. We have the ability to transport there directly.

 

TUVOK: Captain, our sensors did not pick up any indication of an underground civilisation. The subterranean barrier Jabin described may be responsible. It might also block our transporter.

 

KES: There are breaches in the security barrier where it's begun to decay. That's how I got out.

 

JANEWAY: Have the transporter room begin a sweep for any breaches we might be able to beam through. (Tuvok leaves.)

 

NEELIX: Kes can tell you where to go. But now that she's free, we're leaving this system together.

 

Kes: Neelix, these people rescued me.

 

NEELIX: I rescued you.

 

KES: With their help. It would be wrong not to help them now.

(Saxifrages and other water-retentive plants in rows. Kes leads Janeway, Tuvok, Chakotay and Neelix.)


TUVOK: Captain, the pulses from the array continue to accelerate. The intervals between them have decreased another point eight seconds.

 

^Paris was there, too.

An Ocampan man runs up to Kes

Daggin: Kes.

 

KES: Hello, Daggin.

 

Daggin: We thought we'd never see you again. How did you get back?

 

KES: These people rescued me from the Kazon. I'm trying to help them find two of their crewmen. Does anyone know where the aliens are kept? The ones the Caretaker sends here?

 

Daggin: I think they're at the central clinic.

 

Janeway: Can you take us there?

 

Toscat (telepath): No, she cannot.
