Similitude Line-by-Line

[Hopeful Romantic]

T'POL: If you'd like, the A3 injector port needs replacing.

 

[mattman8907]

SIM: I'll get right on it.
(Instead, he goes to a computer screen and starts doing something.)

 

[Athena28]

[Bridge]

ARCHER: What's the problem?

 

[May 20]

REED: Someone's rerouted the Launch Bay controls. We're shut out.

 

[sekundant]

ARCHER: Archer to the Launch Bay. Come in.

 

[May 20]

HOSHI: Captain, I'm reading one person in there.

 

[Kertrats47]

[Launch bay]

(Sim is sitting in the open hatch of Shuttlepod One.)
SIM: I was all ready to do it.

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: What stopped you?

 

[sekundant]

SIM: Where the hell was I going to go? We're nowhere near any habitable planet. Didn't really want to spend the rest of my life floating around in a shuttlepod which doesn't even have any toilet facilities. Can you imagine a lousier way to spend your old age? Cooped up in that thing, peeing in a bottle? Actually, I can imagine a worse fate.

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: What would that be?

 

[mattman8907]

SIM: Being stuck in there with Malcolm. Damn, this is a screwed up situation.

 

[Orac]

Archer: I can't argue with you there.

 

[Kertrats47]

SIM: A lifetime in eight days. It's not that I'm scared of dying, it's just that I can't imagine not being here tomorrow. You want to know what really stopped me?

 

[sekundant]

ARCHER: What?

 

[Orac]

Sim: My sister. And she was my sister as much as Trip's.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

ARCHER: I believe that.

[*reaching for tissues* ]

 

[Athena28]

SIM: I don't want what happened to her to happen to anyone else.

 

[Kertrats47]

ARCHER: That's why I gave the order to create you.

 

[sekundant]

SIM: Do me a favour when this is over. If Commander Tucker decides to do any more modifications to the engines, tell him to watch his ass.

[Tucker's quarters]

(Sim is stroking Porthos when the intercom beeps.)
SIM: Yes.

 

[Orac]

Phlox [OC]: We're ready for you.
