"Scorpion" Line-by-Line

JANEWAY: Agreed. The Northwest Passage is no longer an option. So now the choice is between facing the Borg in their space or finding ourselves a nice planet here in the Delta Quadrant and giving up on ever getting home.
 
Chakotay: We'd be turning around but we wouldn't be giving up. We may find another way home.
 
Janeway: Agreed. The Northwest Passage is no longer an option. So now the choice is between facing the Borg in their space or finding ourselves a nice planet here in the Delta Quadrant and giving up on ever getting home.

JANEWAY: I'm not ready to walk onto the Bridge and tell the crew we're quitting. I can't do that. Not yet. There must be an alternative.
 
Chakotay: Kathryn, you haven't slept in two days. Try getting some rest, and clearing your head. We're safe, for the moment. We can tell the crew tomorrow, if we have to.
 
^^Finishing:

Janeway: See you in the morning. [Da Vinci's Workshop - Night] Maestro? Leonardo.?

Da Vinci: Catarina. buona sera.
 
DA VINCI: A flock of starlings, the leaves of an oak, a horse's tail, a thief with a noose around his neck. And a wall with the candlelight reflecting on it. There are times, Catarina, when I find myself transfixed by a shadow on the wall, or the splashing of water against a stone. I stare at it, the hours pass. the world around me drops away, replaced by worlds being created and destroyed by my imagination. A way to focus the mind. Sit, and tell me why you have come.
 
JANEWAY: There's a path before me. The only way home. And on either side, mortal enemies bent on destroying each other. If I attempt to pass through them I'll be destroyed as well. But if I turn around, that would end all hope of ever getting home. And no matter how much I try to focus my mind I can't see an alternative.
 
DA VINCI: When one's imagination cannot provide an answer, one must seek a greater imagination. There are times, when even I find myself kneeling in prayer. I must deliver a bronzetto to the Monks at Santa Croce. Come with me, Catarina, hey? We will awake the Abbot, visit the chapel. and appeal to God.
 
Janeway: Somehow I don't think that's going to work for me.

Janeway looks at shadows on wall

Janeway: But there is an alternative I hadn't considered. What if I made an appeal... to The Devil?
 
Janeway: More like... an exchange. We give them a weapon to defeat their new enemy, and in exchange, we get safe passage through their space. In developing a treatment for Harry, The Doctor has found a way to attack the aliens at the microscopic level.
 
EMH: It's still in the experimental stages, Captain. I've only made a few prototypes.
 
JANEWAY: Nevertheless, if we teach the Borg how to modify their own nanoprobes. They'd have a blueprint to create a weapon to fight the aliens.
