"Blink of an Eye" VOY Line-by-line

JANEWAY: Voyager exists in the same space-time as the rest of the galaxy. Your planet is different.
 
[Ready room]

GOTANA-RETZ: So if what you're saying is true, everyone I know, everyone I knew, is gone.
 
GOTANA-RETZ: Captain, I'm an accomplished pilot. That's why they chose me for this mission. I don't have the courage of the others. They made a mistake choosing me.
 
JANEWAY: I have to disagree. For someone whose life has just been turned upside down, I think you're doing fine.
 
GOTANA-RETZ: When I was a young child, the toys hanging above my crib depicted the Sky Ship. It's the first thing I ever remember seeing, even before my mother's face. And now I'm the only one that knows its name: Voyager. I suppose it'll be the last thing I see as well.
 
JANEWAY: that's up to you. I have no intention of keeping you here against your will. The Doctor spent some time on your planet collecting data that we hoped would help us find a way to leave orbit. We need you to assist us in interpreting that information. However, the longer you stay on board, the more difficult it will be for you to go home. Your culture is changing every second you're here. By the time you go back, you might find it more alien than ours.
 
GOTANA-RETZ: (sings) "Star of the night, Star of the day, Come to take my tears away. Make my life always bright." It's a child's prayer.
 
JANEWAY: I hope you're not disappointed.

(I love this scene. :adore: )
 
GOTANA-RETZ: How often does your very first dream come true? Of course I'll help you.

(Me too! Daniel Dae Kim is one of the best. And even though he's only in the episode for a small part of it, I really liked the character of Gotana-Retz.)
 
[Corridor]
EMH: The information I brought back is in Voyager's database. Seven of Nine has been trying to make sense of it. She'll welcome your assistance.
