"Drive" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Torres: No, Tom's a great guy and we've had a lot of fun together. An that seems to be enough for him. But not for me.

 

[Orac]

Neilix: Why aren't you saying all this to Tom?

 

[Admiral Shran]

TORRES: I plan to. After the race.

 

[Orac]

Knee Licks: By which time, he'll have already disappointed you again. I may not know as much about Klingon tradition as your grandmother, but somehow, keeping Tom in the dark doesn't seem very honourable. My feet are feeling better. I should go back to work.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Knee Licks?

[Later]

JANEWAY: Captain's log, stardate 54058.6. Our request to enter the Delta Flyer into the rally has been accepted. I'm meeting with the race coordinator, Ambassador O'Zaal, to work out the details.

[Ready room]

O'ZAAL: We have teams that have travelled quite a distance, Captain, but none from as far as the Alpha Quadrant.

 

[Admiral Shran]

JANEWAY: We're always willing to go that extra light year for a good cause.

 

[Thomas Eugene]

O'ZAAL: Well, your entrance petition seems to be in order. The Delta Flyer meets our guidelines. Now all you have to do is win.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: Something tells me the other teams aren't going to make that too easy.

 

[Thomas Eugene]

TUVOK [OC]: Bridge to the captain.

 

[Admiral Shran]

JANEWAY: Go ahead, Commander.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

TUVOK [OC]: There is an incoming transmission for the Ambassador.

 

[Admiral Shran]

JANEWAY: Route it here.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

O'ZAAL: I asked not to be disturbed.

 

[Orac]

Assistant [on monitor]: I'm sorry, but the Aksani are threatening to withdraw unless they're allowed to host the post-race ceremony.

 

[Admiral Shran]

O'ZAAL: Did you explain that we've already promised that to the Chessu.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

ASSISTANT [on monitor]: Yes. They said that was unacceptable.

 

[Orac]

O'Zaal: Arrange for another meeting. I'll have to find some way of appeasing them. Well, I hope the race you just entered doesn't end before it begins.

 

[Thomas Eugene]

JANEWAY: It's that serious?

 

[Admiral Shran]

O'ZAAL: The peace is still very fragile. Every decision I make, no matter how trivial, is looked upon as symbolic.
