"Equinox'' Line-by-Line

Ankari: Release my ship.

[Cargo Bay 2]

Ankari: They say they want the humans to die.

 

Tuvok: A difficult place to start a negotiation.

 

Janeway: Will they understand me?

 

ANKARI: Yes.

 

Janeway: We didn't do this to you. We're trying to stop the humans who did.

 

ANKARI: They don't believe you would harm your own kind

 

JANEWAY: We have rules for behavior. The Equinox has broken those rules by killing your species. It's our duty to stop them.

 

ANKARI: Give us the Equinox. Give us the Equinox! They insist on destroying the ones who are responsible.

 

TUVOK: We will punish them according to our own rules. They will be imprisoned. They will lose their freedom.

 

JANEWAY: All right! If you stop your attacks, I'll deliver the Equinox to you.

 

Janeway: All right! If you stop your attacks, I'll deliver the Equinox to you!.

 

TUVOK: Captain.

 

Janeway: I know what I'm doing, Tuvok.

 

TUVOK: These beings would destroy Captain Ransom and his crew.

 

Janeway: What's their answer?

 

TUVOK: Your behaviour is irrational. We could find another solution.

 

JANEWAY: I've already confined my First Officer to quarters. Would you like to join him? Well?

 

ANKARI: They agree.
