"The Gift" Line-by-Line

[Sickbay]

(Seven's skin is now pink.)

EMH: Ready when you are, Captain.
(He wakes Seven.)
EMH: Don't be alarmed. You're in Sickbay. You're going to be fine.
 
EMH: Your body was rejecting the Borg technology. You were dying. I'm sorry, but we had no choice. Those are dermoplastic grafts. They'll help the regeneration process.
