"Scorpion" Line-by-Line

CHAKOTAY: Yes. We should get out of harm's way. Let them fight it out. In the meantime, there's still plenty of Delta Quadrant left to explore. We may find another way home.
 
Janeway: Or we may find something else. 6 months, a year down the road, after Species 8472 gets through with The Borg, we could find ourselves right back in the line of fire, and we'll have missed the window of opportunity that exists right here, right now!
 
We'd be giving the advantage to a race guilty of murdering billions. We'd be helping the Borg assimilate yet another species just to get ourselves back home. It's WRONG.
 
JANEWAY: Tell that to Harry Kim. He's barely alive thanks to that species. Maybe helping to assimilate them isn't such a bad idea. We could be doing the Delta Quadrant a favour.
 
CHAKOTAY: I don't think you really believe that. I think you're struggling to justify your plan, because your desire to get this crew home is blinding you to other options. I know you, Kathryn. Sometimes you don't know when to step back.
 
JANEWAY: Oh, but it is. Only yesterday you were saying that we'd face this together, that you'd be at my side.
 
JANEWAY: I appreciate your insights but the time for debate is over. I've made my decision. Now, do I have your support?
 
Chakotay: You're the Captain. I'm your First Officer. I'll follow your orders, that doesn't change my belief that we're making a Fatal mistake.
 
Voyager Enters Star System

Tuvok: There are 3 planets in this system, inhabitants; all Borg. A Vessel is approaching.
