• Dr. Vatm : [after Dr. Vatm tries to launch the carriage without the others]  What are you doing?

  Lillias : [Lillias drags Vatm to the hatch]  Let's go! You wanted to leave? Fine! Then leave!

  Dr. Vatm : [panicking]  No! No!

  Lieutenant Tuvok : [before Lillias can throw Vatm to his death, Tuvok grabs her from behind]  That is enough!

  Lieutenant Tuvok : It is going to be a long and perilous journey. As such, I will need your full cooperation. Understood?

  Hanjuan : [through gritted teeth]  Yeah.

  [Tuvok releases his vice-like grip, much to Hanjuan's relief] 

  Lieutenant Tuvok : [Tuvok gives him one last departing look and moves over to Neelix, who's trying to pilot the damaged carriage]  Mechanical glitches would seem to be the least of our problems.

  [Neelix can only agree with that assessment]
