Threshold Line-by-Line

[Rocky6]

PARIS: May I ask why?

 

[Orac]

Janeway: He checked over your biometric readings from the shuttle simulations. He says you have a slight enzymatic imbalance in your cerebellum.

 

[Soaraway]

Paris: May I ask why?

Oops.
Paris: So?

 

[Orac]

Captain Janeway: I know it doesn't sound like much, but he can't predict what'll happen when you cross the threshold. He believes there's a small chance that you could suffer a brain haemorrhage under the subspace stress.

 

[Oddish]

PARIS: "How big a chance?"

 

[Orac]

Captain Janeway: 2%.

 

[Oddish]

PARIS: "Two percent? I'll take that chance."

 

[Orac]

The Captain: There's no reason to. Ensign Kim is capable of piloting the shuttle for this mission.

 

[Soaraway]

Paris: Yeah, he's capable. That's not the point.

 

[Oddish]

JANEWAY: "What is the point, Mister Paris?"

 

[Orac]

Paris: Well, it's hard to explain, but this is my flight.

 

[Soaraway]

Captain Kathryn Janeway: Your flight?

 

[Oddish]

LT. PARIS: "When I was a boy, my father used to tell me that I was special, that one day I'd do something significant. My teachers at school, all the kids, everyone used to say, Tom Paris is going to do something important when he grows up. Obviously, that didn't happen."

 

[Soaraway]

Captain Janeway: This isn't about personal redemption. We're talking about medical risk. Your life could be in danger, and we need you.

 

[Orac]

Lt. Paris: Captain, this is the first time in 10 years I feel I have a life to risk.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

JANEWAY: You're sure about this?

 

[Orac]

Lt. Tom Paris: Captain, I've never been so sure about anything. Please. Please let me make the flight.

 

[Soaraway]

Kathryn Janeway the Captain of the starship USS Voyager: Good luck, Lieutenant.

 

[Orac]

[Engineering]

Torres: Torres to Bridge. The pre-launch sequence is complete

[Bridge]

Torres [OC]: Captain.

 

[Oddish]

THE AWESOME CAPTAIN JANEWAY: "Acknowledged. Ensign Kim, depressurise the shuttle bay and open the space doors."
