"Living Witness" Line-by-line

pPARIS: Well, then propose something, First Officer. Earn your rank for once.
(The EMH watches open-mouthed as pseudo Chakotay and pseudo Paris fight.)
 
pJANEWAY: Gentlemen. Gentlemen!
(Pseudo Janeway shoots her hand phaser at a wall screen. The fight stops.)
pJANEWAY: Save it for the holodeck. We've got a war to fight. We've only been attacking the Kyrian military installations. A mistake. We should target the general population.
 
pEMH: Excellent idea, Captain. I have examined the Kyrian genome and they would be vulnerable to any number of biological weapons.
 
QUARREN: Halt recreation. This is a reasonable extrapolation from historic record. But if you'd like to point out any inconsistencies.
 
EMH: Inconsistencies? I don't know where to begin. Granted, this looks like the briefing room but these aren't the people I knew. No one behaved like this. Well, aside from Mister Paris. We weren't at each other's throats. We didn't talk about how to destroy planets. We helped people. We were an enlightened crew.
 
EMH: There was a meeting in this room, but it wasn't about battle tactics. It was about a dilemma we were facing. We had negotiated a trade agreement with the Vaskans. We were dealing with a representative, Ambassador
 
EMH: Daleth. Exactly. Everything was going according to plan until we were attacked. By your people, the Kyrians. They'd picked that moment to start a war and we were caught in the middle.
