"Living Witness" Line-by-line

QUARREN: They're using photon grenades. We've got to take cover. This way.
(The tricorder gets left behind on a step as they take shelter by a large buttress. In the cold light of day, the mob has gone, but there is still weapons fire outside.)
 
QUARREN: It's getting worse. Protests, vandalism. Two people have been killed. Don't worry, they've cordoned off the museum. We're safe for now.
 
QUARREN: You were only the catalyst. The pressure's been building for years. It was only a matter of time before something set it off. Have you found the tricorder?
 
QUARREN: It's crucial that we do. The Kyrians are demanding you be punished for your crimes, but the Vaskans want to hear your version of events again. They want to continue the investigation.
 
QUARREN: I don't know. The Vaskans are more powerful, but the Kyrians are very angry. They're talking about another war.
 
EMH: Then there's only one solution. Delete my program. I've become a kind of symbol for this conflict. As long as I'm around your people are going to keep on fighting. I'll show you how to decompile my program. You can say I was damaged in the attack last night. No one will hold you responsible.
 
EMH: I'm a medical hologram, programmed to do no harm. But I'm doing harm on a global scale. Ever since you reactivated me, I've been concerned with clearing Voyager's good name. But that's not important now. There's more at stake.
 
EMH: Facts be damned! Names, dates, places, it's all open to interpretation. Who's to say what really happened? And ultimately, what difference does it make? What matters is today and the future of your people.
