"Living Witness" Line-by-line

QUARREN: You're the Voyager doctor. A lot of people are going to have questions. On our world, artificial lifeforms are considered sentient and responsible for their actions. You might have to face charges.
 
QUARREN: For your crimes. You designed the bio-weapons that killed eight million Kyrians.
 
EMH: Evidence? What evidence? Like this, for example? Triple-armoured hull? Thirty torpedo tubes? Twenty five phaser banks? This isn't what our ship looked like.
 
QUARREN: We reconstructed it from a partial schematic found in the Cyrik ocean, which was badly damaged by corrosion. We were bound to get a few details wrong.
 
EMH: Earth! You see, you couldn't even get that right. This is a nightmare. What if I'm found guilty? What's going to happen to me?
 
QUARREN: That's up to the Arbiters, but I imagine the penalty would be severe. Your programme could be de-compiled.
 
EMH: You've got to believe me. To you, this may be ancient history. To me, it's yesterday. You called me a living witness. Well, at least give me the chance to set the record straight. I want to see your version of what happened.
 
[Pseudo Briefing room]

pPARIS: We've already drained two phaser banks, and he hasn't hit anything.
 
pTUVOK: If you looked at your console once in a while instead of chasing the female ensigns, you'd see otherwise.
 
pPARIS: As a matter of fact I do. Fighter shuttles. A direct assault.
