"Living Witness" Line-by-line

[Brennyren]

VASKAN ARBITER: Can this be done?

 

[Catarina]

QUARREN: I've been trying to decipher the instrument for years, but, with the Doctor's help

 

[Brennyren]

KYRIAN ARBITER: I fail to see what this would prove. Tedran died on Voyager, a victim of a conspiracy to oppress my people. The weapon used, who fired it, this is all beside the point.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

VASKAN ARBITER: Was there a conspiracy? Did Voyager really help my ancestors to start the Great War? Or were Kyrians the aggressors as my people have always believed? Now, this casts doubt on everything.

 

[Catarina]

KYRIAN ARBITER: But it doesn't change the fact my children can't attend the same academies as yours, or that we are forced to live outside of the city centre.

 

[May 20]

VASKAN ARBITER: Today's problems are not at issue here. This is about history.

 

[Catarina]

EMH: Look, I don't know who started your war. All I'm saying is that Voyager wasn't responsible.

 

[Brennyren]

KYRIAN ARBITER: I can't believe that you would cooperate with this murderer. You of all people. You built this museum!

 

[Catarina]

QUARREN: The facts are turning out to be more complex than I expected.

 

[May 20]

KYRIAN ARBITER: We shouldn't be listening to this hologram. I want him arrested and charged for the crimes we know he committed.

 

[Catarina]

VASKAN ARBITER: That's not your decision to make.

 

[May 20]

KYRIAN ARBITER: No, it's not, is it? I'm only on this commission because you needed a token Kyrian.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

QUARREN: Please. This isn't about race.

 

[mattman8907]

KYRIAN ARBITER: It's always about race. You seize every opportunity to keep yourselves in power.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

VASKAN ARBITER: I'm sorry you see it that way. I think we are obligated to hear what the Doctor has to say. Proceed with your investigation

 

[Brennyren]

QUARREN: Yes, Arbiter.

 

[May 20]

KYRIAN ARBITER: You'll pay for your crimes.

 

[cosmic mouse]

[Pseudo Sickbay]

EMH: Seven hundred years and I'm still caught in the middle of your little dispute. One might have hoped for a bit of social progress in the interim.

 

[May 20]

QUARREN: Change never comes easily for us.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

EMH: Hmm. That's an understatement.
