"Shuttlepod One" Line-by-Line!

TUCKER: You're a regular grim reaper, Malcolm. Anyone ever tell you that? Well, if this little trip is a death sentence, then it would seem to me we're entitled to a last meal. What'll it be? I'm afraid our selection is somewhat limited.
 
TUCKER: Are you serious? We're dead men, remember? What's the matter, Lieutenant? Are you afraid the autopsy will show your blood-alcohol level was too high to pilot a shuttle? (gets out glasses and pours two slugs) Live a little. That's an order. (raises a floor panel into a low table, gets something out from underneath, puts a wick in it and lights it)
 
TUCKER: The bourbon'll provide the heat. The candle's just for mood. To the brave men and women of the starship Enterprise.
 
TUCKER: We'll probably be dead five or six minutes earlier than we would have been. I can live with that. Anyway, it seems to me as far as you're concerned, the sooner the better.
 
REED: Is that really how you see me? The eternal pessimist? The grim reaper? I don't want to die. What makes you think I want to die?
 
TUCKER: Because ever since we saw Enterprise spread across that asteroid, you've done nothing but write your own obituary.
 
REED: I lost nearly everyone I cared about on that ship. Those girls I talked about. Rochelle, Deborah, Catelin. None of them worked out because I could never get very close to them. Never got very close to my family either, for that matter, not that it's any business of yours. But with the crew of the Enterprise, it was different. I was really starting to feel comfortable with them, and now the only one that's left thinks I'm the bloody angel of death.
 
Later... The bottle is only 1/3 full, Trip and Malcolm are using blankets to try to heat themselves. Oh, yeah and they're drunk.

Static is heard

Malcolm: Does that sound modulated enough for you?
