“We have to talk about this.” – Janeway

“Alright.” – Chakotay

“I think we have to define some parameters... About us.” – Janeway

“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 warrior who couldn't find peace, even with the help of his spirit guide. For years he struggled with his discontent. 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 a neighbouring tribe led by a woman warrior. She called on him to join her beacuse 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.” – Chakotay

“Is that really an ancient legend?” – Janeway

“No, but that made it easier to say.” – Chakotay
(Resolutions)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Captain Kathryn Janeway: For two people who started off as enemies, it seems we get to know each other pretty well. So I've been wondering... just how close do we get?

Chakotay: Let's just say there are some barriers we never cross.
(Shattered)

Captain Janeway: You're late. Unfortunately, so's dinner.
Chakotay: Let me guess: you burned the roast again.
Captain Janeway: Once, a long time ago, I called this replicator a glorified toaster. It never forgave me.
Chakotay: I didn't realise replicators held grudges.
(Shattered)

Chakotay: Anyway, I agree with Dante: if you always see the road ahead of you, it's not worth the trip.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: A soldier *and* a philosopher. Your intelligence file doesn't do you justice.
(Shattered)

Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm going to choose to help strangers at the expense of our own people?
Chakotay: It's not like you to second-guess yourself.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: In this case, I'm second-guessing a decision I haven't made yet.
(Shattered)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Captain Kathryn Janeway: I keep looking to all these captains, my comrades in arms. But the truth is - I'm alone.

Commander Chakotay: If that moment comes, we'll face it together - and we'll make the right decision. You're not alone, Kathryn.

Captain Kathryn Janeway: Few years ago I didn't even know your name. Today I can't imagine a day without you.

oh! Fiesty! They're both completely convinced that they're in the right.

**crazy_diamond** · 09-10-2015, 12:49 PM

Like it when they are feisty

ChakotaysLover · 09-10-2015, 03:20 PM

Uh oh.... Mom and Dad are fighting!!!

That scene kills me though.... the way she says Commander. The way he asked what happened to her. OMG!!! They are just too perfect for each other, even when the are at odds!!

***Chris*** · 09-12-2015, 12:54 PM

It's good for a captain to have a first officer who isn't afraid to express his honest opinion.

ChakotaysLover · 09-12-2015, 01:13 PM

That it is! Especiially when the Captain is being super stubborn and needs a reality check.

***Chris*** · 09-13-2015, 07:58 AM

which is part of the point of having a first officer. If that person is just a yes man, and never questions the captain's decisions, he isn't really doing his job.

You know, Chakotay, it occurs to me, we aren’t exactly in a command structure anymore. Maybe you should call me Kathryn.
