"Workforce" Line-by-Line

TORRES: Transporters are coming online now.
(Seven is beamed away, then Chakotay and Tuvok. Janeway is taken from Jaffen's side.)

 

ECH Log, supplemental. All the crew have been transported back to Voyager. Thanks to my experience with Lieutenant Torres, their treatment is proceeding rapidly. While they're recovering, I still have a few command duties left to perform.

In the briefing room, Kim, Neelix and the ECH sit across the table from the Ambassador and Yerid.

 

[Briefing room]

AMBASSADOR: If it weren't for your efforts, this whole conspiracy might never have been uncovered.

 

Kim: What'll happen to the workers?

 

YERID: Well, we've identified several thousand of Doctor Kadan's patients. Once they're treated, they'll be repatriated.

 

EMH: We appreciate everything you've done.

 

NEELIX: This way.

 

[Torres-Paris's quarters]

(Paris is watching old cartoons on the TV set, and eating popcorn. Torres kisses him on the cheek.)
PARIS: What's that for?

 

TORRES: For taking care of me, even when you didn't know who I was.

 

Torres punches Paris in the arm.

Paris: OW! What was that for?

 

TORRES: Flirting with your customers.

 

PARIS: I was a victim of mind control.

 

[Ready room]

JAFFEN: I can see why you'd rather live here.

 

JANEWAY: I'd offer you a position. I could always use another skilled engineer. But as the Captain, it wouldn't really be appropriate for me to...

 

JAFFEN: Fraternise with a member of your crew. Well, at least my memories weren't tampered with. According to the medical reports, I really did come to Quarra looking for a better life. And now that I've been promoted, I guess I've succeeded.

 

JANEWAY: Promotion?

 

Jaffen: They had to replace our shift supervisor. Something about acquiring workers illegally.

 

JANEWAY: Congratulations. You deserve it.

 

JAFFEN: (Pulls out the knickknacks she left in his apartment) I thought you might like these back, to remind you of our time together.

 

JANEWAY: I won't need souvenirs to remember you.
(They embrace.)
