"Timeless" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Janeway: None taken. All right, Mister Kim, you've convinced me. Prepare a flight plan and have it on my desk within the hour.

 

[Orac]

Kim: Yes ma'am.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: I'll let you know what I decide.

Later in Janeway's quarters. Janeway is preparing the dining table when the door chime rings.

Janeway: Come in.

Chakotay enters.

Janeway: Commander, I hope you've got an appetite.

 

[CoffeeAddict]

CHAKOTAY: Famished, but I assumed you called me here to talk about the Slipstream flight.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: No reason to cancel our dinner plans. I've programmed a dish my grandmother used to make back on Earth. Vegetable biryani.

 

[Orac]

Chakotay: Sounds delicious. I didn't know you could cook.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Normally, I draw the line at a pot of coffee, but tonight is a special occasion.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: Oh?

(By the way, the lights are dimmed, the candles are lit and the flowers on the table do not block their view of one another.)

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Our last night in the Delta Quadrant. I'd say that's special enough.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: You've made your decision.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: We launch tomorrow at 0800. You and Harry will take the Delta Flyer. Voyager will be right behind you.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: (BIG sigh as he places his napkin on his lap.) The crew will be pleased.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: You can give them the news yourself, after dessert. What about you, Chakotay? What do you think of my decision?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: I've analyzed Harry's flight plan. The theory is sound, but there are just too many variables. If something goes wrong in that slipstream...

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: It could be our only chance to use the Quantum drive.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: True, but if you showed this data to any Starfleet engineer they'd think we were out of our minds. We can find another way home. We've waited this long

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Long enough. We've waited long enough. I know it's a risk, probably our biggest one yet but I'm willing to take it. Are you with me?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: Always.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Speaking of risks, are you ready to try some home cooking?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

(She has walked around the table and is resting her hand on his shoulder)

CHAKOTAY: I'll alert Sickbay.

(Her hand moves from his shoulder to caress his cheek before she resumes her seat. Fade out on his functional computer pad where he laid it on the table)
