The Killing Game Line-by-Line

[CaptVader]

[Ready room]

KARR: Enter. Leave her.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: I see you've done some redecorating.

 

[CaptVader]

KARR: Your attempt to retake this vessel was inventive. From the day I seized Voyager, you put up a dauntless fight. But your fight is over now. You're going to help me shut down these simulations and repair the holodecks.

 

[Gore-ac]

Janeway: No. We'll destroy this ship before we surrender it.

 

[May 20]

KARR: Don't threaten me, Captain. I've faced far more intimidating prey than you. If this fight continues, I promise you I will hunt down and kill every member of your crew.

 

[CaptVader]

JANEWAY: Well, by then this ship will be damaged beyond repair and there won't be much of a trophy left, will there?

 

[Athena28]

KARR: Perhaps I should kill you and find someone who will cooperate.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: Good luck. You'll get the same response from all of them.

 

[CaptVader]

KARR: You don't realize what's at stake.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: I know what's at stake. Your sick little game.

 

[Athena28]

KARR: This is not a game!

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: Then what is it?

 

[Athena28]

KARR: I'm trying to create a future for my people.

 

[Gore-ac]

Janeway: Future?

 

[CaptVader]

KARR: I don't expect you to understand. You are prey.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: You underestimate us.

 

[CaptVader]

KARR: Yes, perhaps I do.

 

[Gore-ac]

Janeway: I'm listening

 

[May 20]

KARR: My people are hunting themselves into extinction. Your holodeck technology might offer us an alternative, a new way of life. Instead of scattering ourselves across the quadrant in pursuit of prey, we could simulate the hunt and give ourselves a chance to rebuild our civilization.

 

[Pumpkin Bread]

JANEWAY: And confine your killing to holograms?
