Resolutions Quotes

I'll lay it out to you straight - this is a long page. There were so very many good lines said by the pair that I felt compelled to put just about everything (of course, I didn't put everything here - but there is a good deal of it). I hope you are up to a good long read. And, yes... the angry warrior story is on here, too :-)

Chakotay:
"Does it matter which way these things go?"

Janeway:
"I guess it depends whether you're in a beige mood or a gray mood."

Chakotay:
"That's not much of a choice. Couldn't Starfleet have come up with something a little more cheerful?"

Janeway:
"Like polka-dots?"

Chakotay:
"I was thinking more of a tasteful pinstripe - something in blues and greens. Well, I suggest we put the gray on the outside and the beige inside."

Janeway:
"I like that, I've always looked better in beige. Actually, it might be kind of interesting - roughing it for a while."

Chakotay:
"..'Roughing it'..? Let's see... we have shelter, furniture, research equipment, tricorders, a replicator - it's too rough for me."

Janeway:
"We don't have a bath tub."

Chakotay:
"A bath tub?"

Janeway:
"I love a bath, it's my favorite way of relaxing."

Chakotay:
"Captain, I'm sure you can learn to love the sonic shower."

Janeway:
"You know, Chakotay, it occurs to me - we aren't exactly in a command structure any more. Perhaps you should call me Kathryn."

Chakotay:
"... Give me a few days on that one, okay?" :-)

Yowza! That "It's too rough for me" line is infinately coruptable, ain't it? :-)


Janeway:
"Where have you been?"

Chakotay:
"Oh... in the woods."

Janeway:
"For the past two days you've been spending a lot of time in the woods. Is there something going on that I should know about?"

Chakotay:
"Ah... not yet."

Janeway:
"...'Not yet'..? What's that supposed to mean?"

Chakotay:
"It means that when it's time for you to know you'll find out."

Janeway:
"Don't I even get a hint?"

Chakotay:
"I'm building something."

Janeway:
"Building? What could you be building? And why can't you tell me?"

Chakotay:
"You can't stand it, can you? You're like a little kid, wheedling." :-)


Chakotay:
"I can't sacrifice the present waiting for a future that may not happen. The reality of this situation is that we may never leave here. So, yes, I'm trying to make a home - something that's more than just a plain gray box."


Janeway:
"I guess I was always a child of the 24th century."

Chakotay:
"Well, maybe those camping trips helped prepare you for life here."

Janeway:
"Oh, no... life here is much better than that."

Chakotay:
"...I think that's the first time I've heard you say anything positive about being here."


Here it is, folks :-)

Janeway:
"We have to talk about this."

Chakotay:
"All right."

Janeway:
"I think we need to define some parameters...about us."

Chakotay:
"I'm not sure I can... define parameters. But I can tell you a story - an ancient legend among my people. It's about an angry warrior who lived his life in conflict with the rest of his tribe - a man who couldn't find peace even with the help of his spirit guide. For years, he struggled with his discontent - but the only satisfaction he ever got came when he was in battle. This made him a hero among his tribe, but the warrior still longed for peace within himself. One day he and his war party were captured by neighboring tribe led by a woman warrior. She called to him to join her, because her tribe was too small and weak to defend itself from all its enemies. The woman warrior was brave and beautiful and very wise. The angry warrior swore to himself... that he would stay by her side, doing whatever he could to make her burden lighter. From that point on, her needs would come first. And in that way... the warrior began to know the true meaning of peace."

Janeway:
"Is that really... an ancient legend?"

Chakotay:
"No... but that made it easier to say."

Wasn't that sweet...


Janeway:
"I find it very satisfying now - watching the seeds sprout and grow."

A metaphor, perhaps? We all know what she's really talking about...


Chakotay:
"I'm not sure we could fit the bath tub in the boat."

Janeway:
"That's all right, I'll have the river." :-)

I'll leave you all with the image of a skinny-dipping trip running through your minds :-)
