"The Gift" Line-by-Line

Kes: Something important is happening to me, and I want to explore it. But I can't stay here any longer. I'm a danger to all of you.
 
JANEWAY: We're going to get to the bottom of this. The Doctor's already working on a new approach.
 
KES: Everybody thinks that what's happening is a medical condition. That's not it at all. I'm going though a transformation. I don't know how or why, but every cell in my body is telling me that I'm changing into something more.
 
JANEWAY: What if it's not true? What if you're simply being swept up in the excitement of something you think is happening, but it's not real? On the basis of a feeling, an intuition, you're asking me to let you go, quite likely for ever? Kes, I just can't do that.
 
KES: It won't work. Look at me, Captain. I'm the same Kes you've always known. I haven't lost my judgment. I'm not under some alien influence. I believe something crucial is happening to me and I want to see it through.
 
JANEWAY: You've lived most of your life here. Voyager has been your home. And you've been a vital part of this family. Oh, I'm going to miss you.

(They hug.)
 
Kes: Now all I have to do is tell the Doctor. He's not going to be happy.

(Kes briefly becomes translucent.)

Kes: It's starting.
 
JANEWAY [OC]: Prepare a shuttle for launch and have Tuvok meet me on deck six.
 
[Corridor]

JANEWAY
: Acknowledged. Looks like we're going to have to do this the hard way.

(They run. The ship's hull starts to ripple.)
