"Caretaker" Line-by-Line

Nurse: I wasn't watching you. I was coming to give you something. I don't know if it'll help. It's a medicine. There are people who have broken from tradition and left the city. Their colony grows fruits and vegetables. They discovered quite by accident that the moss that grows on certain fruit trees has healing properties. I'm sorry for what has happened to you.
 
NURSE: The Caretaker's been behaving strangely for the past several months. Abducting people, increasing the power supply.
 
Nurse: When we ask, we're told to trust the Caretaker's decisions. One person I knew did get to the surface. We never saw her again.
 
Nurse: The ancient tunnels that brought us here still exist. Over the years, small breaches in security barriers have appeared just large enough for someone to get through. But it still requires digging through metres of rock to get out.
 
Nurse: It would take days, maybe even weeks to break through. You have to rest. Conserve your strength.
 
[Sickbay]
(The EMH is treating the young girl's bruises.)

TUVOK: If you had told us what you had planned, we might have anticipated your irrational behaviour.
 
EMH: That's enough. This is a sickbay, not a conference room. Visiting hours are over. Everyone except my patient is to leave immediately.
