Threshold Line-by-Line

EMH: "I have no idea, but I assume it had something to do with his experience on the shuttle."
(Paris screams.)
EMH: "His cellular membranes are deteriorating. He's dying. I need to know more about what happened on that shuttle, and I need to know it now! Radiation levels, unexplained anomalies, anything."
 
(Torres rushes out. Later, Kes is monitoring Paris' lifesigns at a console while the EMH goes inside the forcefield. Veins are standing out all over Paris' face.)
Admiral Owen Paris' adult child Tom: You're losing me, aren't you? I'm going to die.
 
DR. VAN GOGH (in another timeline): "You're too stubborn to die, Mister Paris. I want to try high saturation radiometric therapy. It might slow down his cellular mutation."

[No, I don't intend to mess with character names in every "line by line" I do. But this is THRESHOLD, for crying out loud]
 
THE UNNAMED: "No effect. Increase the dosage to eighty five rads per second. I'm going to try inhibiting the cell mitosis with a biosuppresser field."
 
BERLIN: Big funeral with lots of pretty girls all crying. Except Torres. Torres doesn't cry. Did you ever notice that? I don't trust people who don't cry. Of course, my father, he'd say crying is a sign of weakness. I never believed that. Do you cry?
 
Tom: Shame. You know, it's funny. What I remember most about being a kid are the times I spent in my room crying. I liked my room, though. It was quiet in there. People would leave me alone. I'd keep the door locked, read, play games. I lost my virginity in that room. Seventeen. Parents were away for the weekend.
 
EMH Mark I, son of Zimmerman: "His lymphatic system is collapsing. Increase dosage to ninety eight rads per second."
 
TP: Pepperoni! God, I'd love a pepperoni pizza with Kavarian olives right now. I'm starving!
