Someone to Watch Over Me
00:00:02...so Harry throws it in gear, floors the gas and backs us right through a burrito stand.
00:00:07So when are you going to teach me how to drive?
00:00:10You sure you're ready?
00:00:12I've piloted starships.
00:00:13I think I can handle a car.
00:00:15Ah, you'd be surprised.
00:00:17The clutch on a '69 Mustang can be pretty tricky.
00:00:21Take a look.
00:00:22She's watching us again.
00:00:25She's working. Relax.
00:00:27Dessert?
00:00:29What is it?
00:00:31Some cheese I prepared for our Kadi guest.
00:00:34Tell me what you think.
00:00:41It's a little bland.
00:00:42Just a little? Oh, that's bad.
00:00:44The Kadi don't approve of spices... anything that might inflame the senses.
00:00:49You're talking this mission very seriously.
00:00:51The Kadi are easily offended.
00:00:53The Captain's leaving their representative entirely in my hands while she's at the colony.
00:00:57I'm sure you're up to it, Ambassador.
00:00:59I hope so.
00:01:03She's watching us again.
00:01:05You're imagining things.
00:01:07I don't think so.
00:01:09B'Elanna.
00:01:13Enjoying the view?
00:01:14Explain.
00:01:16You've been staring at us all night.
00:01:18In fact, you were following us yesterday when we were walking to Engineering, and the day before, when I was waiting for Tom outside the Shuttle Bay.
00:01:26You are correct.
00:01:27I have been observing you as part of my research on human mating behavior.
00:01:34"Stardate 52647, 1400 hours.
00:01:38"Subjects quarrel in corridor
00:01:41"outside female's quarters.
00:01:42"Male returns with 12 flowering plant stems--
00:01:45"species Rosa rubifolia--
00:01:47"effecting a cessation of hostilities.
00:01:50"Stardate 52648
00:01:530300 hours. Intimate relations resume..."
00:01:56How the hell do you know when we're having intimate relations?
00:01:59There is no one on Deck 9, Section 12 who doesn't know when you're having intimate relations.
00:02:03Is there a problem?
00:02:04I want all the data you've collected.
00:02:06I haven't completed the study.
00:02:08Then study this. Borg provokes Klingon.
00:02:11Klingon breaks Borg nose.
00:02:13B'Elanna... Call Sick Bay.
00:02:15Tell them there's about to be a medical emergency.
00:02:17B'Elanna, let's go have a nightcap.
00:02:19This time, you've crossed the line.
00:04:14I've read B'Elanna's report.
00:04:16Needless to say, I was surprised.
00:04:18I was careful not to violate protocols.
00:04:20That's not the point.
00:04:22This is a starship, not a nature preserve.
00:04:25Oh, I'm missing a pip.
00:04:27You asked me to broaden my knowledge of human behavior.
00:04:30I'm not questioning your goals, Seven... Oh. It's your methods.
00:04:33You shouldn't be taking field notes on the crew.
00:04:35Help me with this, will you, please?
00:04:39Have you ever considered trying it yourself?
00:04:43Romance, I mean.
00:04:45I do not require a romantic relationship.
00:04:49So why did you collect 30,000 gigaquads of data on the subject?
00:04:53I'm late.
00:04:57I missed this on my first pass through their database.
00:05:00Kadi monks only wash with purified water, so sonic showers are out.
00:05:03I've already equipped his quarters with an ablutionary fountain built to their specifications.
00:05:08They observe eight daily services.
00:05:09Noted.
00:05:11Show the ambassador our best side, Neelix.
00:05:12I don't want him going back to his superiors with tales of how immoral we are.
00:05:17TUVOK: Energize.
00:05:28The ritual greeting.
00:05:32Travelers who have left the sanctity of their home and family, we welcome you into our home... our family.
00:05:41Accept these symbols of our purity and the Goddess Mother's blessing.
00:05:53Commander Tuvok, the senior officer who will accompany me, and Mr. Neelix, who will familiarize your ambassador with Voyager. Tomin is an excellent judge of character.
00:06:04He'll help us determine whether your crew is worthy of receiving our minerals.
00:06:08He's in very good hands.
00:06:10It is time to welcome you to our home.
00:06:29This way, Ambassador.
00:06:36Voyager's an Intrepid-class starship with a crew of 146, designed for long-term exploration.
00:06:42I thought we'd start with a tour of our primary systems.
00:06:45First stop, Engineering.
00:06:47I was hoping I might sample a food item I noted earlier in your data files.
00:06:52"Hasperat"?
00:06:53It's a Bajoran dish. Very spicy.
00:06:56I believe that your dietary protocols prohibit flavorful foods.
00:07:01I want to broaden my palate while I'm here in the interests of better understanding.
00:07:07In that case, first stop, Mess Hall.
00:07:12Your cortical implants are operating at peak efficiency.
00:07:15Nanoprobe levels stable. Complaints?
00:07:18None.
00:07:19I heard about the Mess Hall incident.
00:07:22This crew can be very efficient at disseminating information when they choose to be.
00:07:27They say gossip travels faster than warp speed.
00:07:31So why were you studying Tom and B'Elanna?
00:07:33Scientific curiosity.
00:07:36Are you sure? Perhaps there's a reason that hasn't occurred to you.
00:07:42You're a woman, Seven.
00:07:43Is that an observation or a diagnosis?
00:07:46A simple biological fact... with repercussions that are hard to deny.
00:07:51What is your proposed treatment?
00:07:53Perhaps you should consider expanding your research to the realm of dating.
00:07:58"Dating."
00:07:59You mean procreation.
00:08:01One step at a time. Dating is a human ritual wherein two people share a social activity, get to know each other.
00:08:08In time, it can lead to a romantic involvement and eventually, if all goes well, even marriage.
00:08:13One step at a time.
00:08:15This could be an important stage in your social development.
00:08:19It's worth exploring.
00:08:20The Captain would seem to agree.
00:08:24How shall I proceed?
00:08:26You mean, we. I'll prepare a lesson plan.
00:08:28Meet me on Holodeck 2 in one hour.
00:08:31Most women start dating a little younger than you, but better late than never.
00:08:41I've prepared an introduction.
00:08:44I call it "Love Amid the Stars."
00:08:49The Milky Way.
00:08:51Home to thousands of humanoid species and countless courtship rituals.
00:08:56Klingon males initiate courtship by biting the female.
00:09:03Here we see two Bolians getting to know one another.
00:09:06The courtship rituals of some species remain shrouded in mystery.
00:09:10For example, Species 8472 appears to have as many as five sexes.
00:09:17Bystanders better keep their distance.
00:09:19( chuckles )
00:09:21Of course, the species you're most likely to interact with is human, so without further ado, Lesson One, "First Contact."
00:09:29There are any number of ways humans can meet prospective mates.
00:09:32Here we see the "chance encounter."
00:09:36Equally common is the "formal introduction."
00:09:40When first contact is successful, romance quickly ensues and, in the happiest of circumstances, procreation.
00:09:49Here we see how fortress ovum is besieged by countless little warriors.
00:09:54Doctor, I am familiar with the physiological processes of sexuality.
00:10:00Well... then let's skip ahead to the first of the practical exercises.
00:10:05Lesson Two. "Encounter in a Public Place."
00:10:09Computer, initiate holo-program
00:10:11Paris 3.
00:10:13Our location?
00:10:15Chez Sandrine.
00:10:16It's on Earth in a city called Marseilles.
00:10:19Ensign Paris whiled away a good portion of his Academy years here.
00:10:24No doubt to the detriment of his scholastic performance.
00:10:27Now, pull up a bar stool and pretend you've come here to meet the man of your dreams.
00:10:37"Hi, there."
00:10:39"Hello."
00:10:40"Come here often?"
00:10:42"This is my first time."
00:10:44"You must be new in town.
00:10:46How do you like the south of France?"
00:10:48"It is very quaint, exactly as I've always pictured it."
00:10:52"May I buy you a drink?"
00:10:54I don't require a liquid supplement at this time.
00:10:56You're not giving this a fair chance.
00:10:58This exercise is pointless.
00:11:00It may seem pointless, but small talk is a vital dating skill.
00:11:03It helps to establish a rapport with your companion.
00:11:06Perhaps there's something to be said for assimilation after all.
00:11:10All right. Why don't you try your own approach on... that gentleman over there.
00:11:18Go ahead.
00:11:20Very well.
00:11:28Hello.
00:11:30Hello.
00:11:32May I buy you a drink?
00:11:33Uh... sure.
00:11:36Steven Price.
00:11:40And... and you are?
00:11:44Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of...
00:11:47You may call me Seven.
00:11:48Seven... that's-that's an unusual name.
00:11:52Uh, please, have a seat.
00:12:04Looks like Sandrine's is under new management.
00:12:07Who deleted my pool table?
00:12:09Shh. School is in session.
00:12:11More social lessons?
00:12:12Watch. You might learn something.
00:12:18Curious jewelry.
00:12:19It's a Borg implant. I was a drone.
00:12:22Oh, so then it's a family heirloom.
00:12:24( laughing )
00:12:25Borg do not have families. They have unimatrices.
00:12:28Well, in that case, why don't you tell me about your... unimatrix.
00:12:33They're hitting it off, don't you think?
00:12:36He's a hologram.
00:12:38Your point?
00:12:39Well, you programmed him to interact with Seven.
00:12:41Real people don't respond the same way.
00:12:44Under my guidance, she'll be dating real people in no time.
00:12:48You're teaching Seven how to date?
00:12:50( laughing )
00:12:51Talk about the blind leading the blind.
00:12:55I've had my share of romantic encounters.
00:12:57Hmm.
00:12:59Are you implying that Seven couldn't get a date?
00:13:02What, are you kidding?
00:13:03Half the men on this ship would jump at the chance.
00:13:05But getting a date is one thing.
00:13:07Keeping it from turning into a disaster is another.
00:13:10I have every confidence in her social skills.
00:13:15Well, fine. Let's say you get her a date.
00:13:17This is the holodeck.
00:13:19The cards are stacked in her favor.
00:13:21But if you want to really put her to the test, you have to do it in the real world, where anything can happen.
00:13:28Mr. Neelix is hosting a reception for the Kadi Ambassador on Thursday night.
00:13:32Not only will Seven arrive with a date, she will have him eating out of the palm of her hand.
00:13:38Put your latinum where your mouth is.
00:13:41If Seven brings a date to the reception and leaves with the same date on good terms without causing a diplomatic incident,
00:13:48I will work double shifts in Sick Bay for the next month.
00:13:51And if she fails?
00:13:53I get a month off.
00:13:54It's a bet.
00:13:59Where are you going?
00:14:02Our small talk is terminated.
00:14:06I have mastered this exercise.
00:14:08We can proceed to the next.
00:14:09If I were you,
00:14:11I'd start looking for somebody to fill in for me.
00:14:26One Katarian pudding.
00:14:29Mm-hmm.
00:14:33Ah.
00:14:36Mmm!
00:14:39Ah, the texture is so frothy.
00:14:42It seems to be evaporating in my mouth.
00:14:45The recipe includes a catalytic agent designed to do just that.
00:14:48Mmm.
00:14:50If we don't hurry, we'll miss Lieutenant Torres.
00:14:53She's been waiting half an hour.
00:14:55You're right.
00:14:56Engineering. Your warp core.
00:14:58I must see that.
00:15:05In our society, males and females work separately.
00:15:07But I can see the wisdom of your approach.
00:15:11Promotes a more stimulating environment.
00:15:15( beeping ) It's time for third prayer.
00:15:18Yes, it is.
00:15:20But I think I can forego this service and perform the appropriate penance later.
00:15:26It's more important that I continue exploring your culture.
00:15:32Perhaps another dessert.
00:15:36Good morning.
00:15:38It's time for Lesson Three.
00:15:40"Getting to Know You." Elaborate.
00:15:42The key to finding a compatible partner is learning how to share your interests and goals.
00:15:48We'll start with hobbies.
00:15:50What do you do with your spare time?
00:15:52Regenerate. Uh-huh.
00:15:55Tell me about your tastes, your likes and dislikes.
00:15:58I dislike irrelevant conversations.
00:16:01Okay. Which brings us to "goals."
00:16:04What do you want out of life?
00:16:06Perfection.
00:16:08Perfection is a laudable goal for oneself, but you can't expect it from others.
00:16:12I learned that lesson myself when I was first activated.
00:16:15One of the ways I adapted was to pursue interests people could identify with.
00:16:23Holo-photography, for example. Opera.
00:16:25Music does have intriguing mathematical properties.
00:16:28Excellent.
00:16:30Perhaps we can mold this curiosity into an interest.
00:16:32Something you can share with others.
00:16:34Let's see how much you know.
00:16:40Here we see-- A basic musical phrase in the major mode.
00:16:44I've done a preliminary study of the topic.
00:16:47Sing it for me.
00:16:49( tone sounds )
00:16:52♪ La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. ♪
00:16:57Seven, has anyone ever told you you have a beautiful voice? It's a true gift.
00:17:03The gift is from the collective.
00:17:05A vocal subprocessor designed to facilitate the sonic interface with Borg transponders.
00:17:09Let's try something a little more challenging.
00:17:14"You Are My Sunshine."
00:17:15It's a simple melody from Earth's 20th century.
00:17:18A good piece for beginners.
00:17:20Sing.
00:17:21( tone sounds )
00:17:23♪ The other night, dear, As I lay sleeping ♪
00:17:28♪ I dreamed I held you In my arms ♪
00:17:33That was... flawless, but try putting a little more emotion into it.
00:17:38Like this.
00:17:39( tone sounds )
00:17:41♪ When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken ♪
00:17:47♪ And I hung my head And cried ♪
00:17:54See? Computer, add instrumental accompaniment.
00:17:58( piano playing )
00:18:01On to the chorus.
00:18:02Together now.
00:18:04♪ You are my sunshine My only sunshine ♪
00:18:09♪ You make me happy When skies are gray ♪
00:18:14♪ You'll never know, dear How much I love you ♪
00:18:20♪ Please don't take My sunshine away ♪
00:18:25( harmonizing ): ♪ You are my sunshine My only sunshine ♪
00:18:30♪ You make me happy When skies are gray ♪
00:18:35♪ You'll never know, dear ♪
00:18:38♪ How much I love you ♪
00:18:41♪ Please don't take My sunshine away ♪
00:18:56Seven, I need the data from those last two astrometric scans.
00:18:59In a moment.
00:19:01That looks like the crew manifest.
00:19:04The Doctor asked me to pick a suitable candidate. For what?
00:19:08Lesson Ten. "The First Date."
00:19:11Your first date?
00:19:13I've narrowed the list to two crewmen based on work performance and compatible interests.
00:19:18I didn't know you had any interests.
00:19:20Neither did I, but, apparently, they include astronomy, quantum mechanics and music.
00:19:26I play the clarinet, you know.
00:19:28You are not one of the candidates, Ensign.
00:19:32Oh.
00:19:34Well, maybe I can help you pick Mr. Right.
00:19:39Ensign Bronowsky, assigned to the Airponics Bay.
00:19:42His work record is flawless and he plays the accordion.
00:19:44Badly, very badly.
00:19:46He's got no sense of humor.
00:19:49Lieutenant Chapman, Structural Engineering.
00:19:53Chapman's a nice guy.
00:19:55We worked together on an away mission.
00:19:57He seemed efficient.
00:20:02( door opens ) Robertson, if that's you,
00:20:04I need an isolinear spanner. SEVEN: It is not.
00:20:07Ooh.
00:20:10I apologize, Lieutenant.
00:20:11I didn't mean to startle you.
00:20:12No, my fault.
00:20:15You need something?
00:20:16Your presence is required...
00:20:18...er, rather, it is requested tonight.
00:20:211900 hours, Holodeck 2.
00:20:23Another Engineering simulation?
00:20:25Dinner.
00:20:26"Dinner"?
00:20:28The consumption of nutritional biomatter.
00:20:30No, I know what dinner is. I just...
00:20:36Are you asking me to join you?
00:20:39Yes.
00:20:43State your response.
00:20:44Okay.
00:20:47Yes.
00:20:48Please be punctual.
00:20:50I will. Thanks.
00:20:52A dropped tool can be a workplace hazard.
00:20:55Be more careful next time.
00:20:59Seven, please state the nature of the medical emergency.
00:21:02I have a date.
00:21:10( humming "You Are My Sunshine" )
00:21:18Sorry I'm late. It's quite all right.
00:21:21In fact, why don't you take the day off... relax? Those double shifts are going to take a lot out of you.
00:21:27Oh?
00:21:28Seven of Nine has a date tonight.
00:21:30If all goes well, as I'm sure it will, he'll accompany her to the reception tomorrow.
00:21:35Who'd she pick?
00:21:37Lieutenant William Chapman.
00:21:39Ha! Chapman! Good luck.
00:21:41What's that supposed to mean?
00:21:43He's renowned for being nervous around women.
00:21:45So? Are you kidding?
00:21:48Seven's dominant personality will have him running for the airlock before dessert.
00:21:52Seven may seem intimidating, but that's only a reaction to the way people treat her.
00:21:56In fact, she's... an efficient and charming young woman.
00:22:01Efficient, I'll give you that.
00:22:03But charming?
00:22:05Most people don't take the time to look beyond her exterior.
00:22:09Did you know she has a lovely singing voice?
00:22:11Uh, no, I didn't, but then again,
00:22:14I've never asked her to sing for me.
00:22:16What are you implying?
00:22:17Well, it sounds like you're getting a little infatuated with your star pupil.
00:22:21( scoffing laugh )
00:22:23"Infatuated"? That's absurd.
00:22:25Whatever you say, maestro.
00:22:27It was part of the lesson plan!
00:22:40You're meeting with him in ten minutes, Seven.
00:22:42Why aren't you ready? I am.
00:22:44Aren't we forgetting something?
00:22:46Lesson Eight. "Dress for Success."
00:22:49My appearance is sufficient. Sufficient, yes, but you could use a little more... panache.
00:22:55Let's start by doing something different with your hair.
00:22:58I don't have much first-hand experience with this, but, uh...
00:23:06Try... shaking your head a little bit.
00:23:11Is this more appropriate?
00:23:14Yes.
00:23:16When I first designed your dermaplastic garment,
00:23:19I also tried my hand at some casual attire.
00:23:23You might want to replicate one of these.
00:23:25How shall I choose?
00:23:27I think you'd look very nice in... this one.
00:23:32I am uncertain how to wear such a garment.
00:23:35Assist me.
00:23:37Oh, I-I-I'm sure you'll manage.
00:23:39I'll go prepare the holodeck.
00:23:40Remember, the idea is to have fun tonight.
00:23:43I'll expect a full report in the morning.
00:23:48( romantic piano music playing )
00:24:13You-you look beautiful.
00:24:15Thank you. You look... beautiful as well. Thank you.
00:24:22( chuckles )
00:24:23Uh, would you like to sit down?
00:24:25Where is our designated location?
00:24:27Best table in the house.
00:24:35I wasn't sure you'd actually show up.
00:24:37I requested your presence. Well, to be honest,
00:24:39I thought one of my friends put you up to it.
00:24:46( clears throat )
00:24:49( sighs )
00:24:51Um... champagne?
00:24:53Synthehol impairs my cortical function.
00:24:55Water will suffice.
00:24:56Mind if I...
00:24:58Proceed.
00:25:00I must admit I'm a little nervous.
00:25:03Elaborate.
00:25:05Oh, um... let's just say it's been a long time since I've been out on a date.
00:25:12I've never been on a date.
00:25:14As a result, I am experiencing anxiety as well.
00:25:17Well, I guess that means we've got something in common.
00:25:20( chuckling )
00:25:21( sighs )
00:25:25Uh...
00:25:29Garçon?
00:25:30( chuckles )
00:25:32Server, report to this station.
00:25:34We require your assistance.
00:25:43( resumes playing )
00:26:05Problem?
00:26:06This creature has an exoskeleton.
00:26:09It's a lobster.
00:26:11They're a delicacy on Earth.
00:26:14Try it.
00:26:20( music resumes )
00:26:27I will replicate you a new garment.
00:26:30I'm fine, fine.
00:26:32It's just a little bit of... exoskeleton.
00:26:35( chuckling )
00:26:36Maybe we should order dessert.
00:26:37You wish to accelerate our social encounter?
00:26:40No, no. I didn't say that. I'm just, uh...
00:26:43I'm having a very... interesting evening.
00:26:48( sighs )
00:26:49W-would you like to dance?
00:26:52That activity is covered in Lesson 35.
00:26:54I haven't reached it yet.
00:26:55( sighs )
00:26:57Well, I'm not much of a dancer myself... but it might be fun.
00:27:00As you wish.
00:27:03( sighs )
00:27:12Oh...
00:27:13Relax.
00:27:24Try to relax. You seem a little tense.
00:27:25Relaxation would disrupt my chronographic sequencer.
00:27:28It allows me to maintain synchronous movement with the music. That's handy... but maybe you could ignore your chronographic sequencer and, uh, let me lead.
00:27:44That's better.
00:28:06( snap ) Oh!
00:28:07( music stops )
00:28:09You are damaged. ( strained ): No...
00:28:11I'll be all right.
00:28:18You've torn a ligament.
00:28:20I'm afraid you'll have to report to Sick Bay.
00:28:23Mr. Paris will treat you.
00:28:24No need to mention how this happened.
00:28:26( groans )
00:28:29I had a great time, Seven.
00:28:32Let's do this again... s-someday.
00:28:39I have failed.
00:28:41Nonsense.
00:28:42Even Romeo and Juliet hit a few snags at first.
00:28:46Besides, Lieutenant Chapman's not the only lobster in the sea.
00:28:49I wish to terminate our social lessons.
00:28:51Just because you didn't achieve perfection your first time out doesn't mean you should give up.
00:28:58Dating is a poor means of interaction.
00:29:01There is far more efficiency in the way you and I communicate.
00:29:04We say what we mean simply and directly.
00:29:06You and I do have a rapport, but we're colleagues.
00:29:11We're not pursuing romance.
00:29:14No. I'm certain you'll be able to master these basic skills in short order.
00:29:19My first date was certainly short.
00:29:22Was that a joke?
00:29:24Lesson Six. "Beguiling Banter."
00:29:26Now you're getting the hang of it.
00:29:29Perhaps this evening doesn't have to end so abruptly.
00:29:31This may be a good time to cover Lesson 35. "Shall We Dance?"
00:29:35Computer, play "Someone To Watch Over Me" instrumental only.
00:29:39( piano intro playing )
00:29:43We'll begin with some simple steps.
00:29:45Place your left hand on my shoulder and your right hand in my left.
00:29:50Now... follow me... one step at a time.
00:30:01Don't worry. I don't have any ligaments to tear.
00:30:31( laughing )
00:30:33Another drink!
00:30:39Ambassador! Neelix!
00:30:41( drunkenly ): My friend, my... host... my... savior.
00:30:48Neelix, I want you to meet, uh...
00:30:52Alandra...
00:30:53( laughs heartily ) and Tria.
00:30:57What are you doing?
00:30:58I'm sampling yet another entrée on the menu of pleasure that you have opened up for me.
00:31:05I checked today's menu, and they're not on it. Coffee, black.
00:31:08Neelix, I decided to go exploring and I found your holodecks... and I discovered this little gem still simmering in the memory buffer.
00:31:18We can explore it later. Right now, we've got to get you to your reception.
00:31:23Mmm... pungent taste. What is it?
00:31:24Coffee and there's plenty more where we're going.
00:31:28No coffee on our colony.
00:31:29Nothing to tempt the appetite of even the most weak-willed novitiate.
00:31:34Neelix, a confession.
00:31:37I am thinking of leaving the colony, joining Voyager.
00:31:42I want to throw off my vows and immerse myself in your wonderful culture.
00:31:49That's just the synthehol talking.
00:31:51No, I've never been more clear-headed about anything.
00:31:56And I have you to thank.
00:32:00That's right... there we go...
00:32:02It's all you...
00:32:07Hard at work?
00:32:09Our lessons have disrupted my duties.
00:32:11Then I suppose you're too busy to attend the Ambassador's reception.
00:32:14My presence is not required.
00:32:16True, but it might be an opportunity for you to apply your newfound social skills.
00:32:21Lesson 11. "Life of the Party."
00:32:23Exactly. Join me?
00:32:25Are you asking me on a date?
00:32:29I suppose I am.
00:32:31Then I accept.
00:32:33Is my appearance sufficient?
00:32:34You look perfect.
00:32:40( Tomin laughing )
00:32:43PARIS: How do you bend a hologram's ear?
00:32:46Use a prism.
00:32:49What did the counselor say to the hologram?
00:32:52"You're projecting."
00:32:54This humor... it's a revelation.
00:32:57Ambassador? Very good.
00:32:59Uh... are-are you sure you wouldn't prefer some more coffee, Ambassador?
00:33:03Coffee. Mmm, yes. I'll have that too.
00:33:05Go.
00:33:10Neelix... is it my imagination or is our guest of honor drunk?
00:33:14Commander, I tried.
00:33:16I had an itinerary.
00:33:18I even set up a prayer dais in his quarters, but I just couldn't control him.
00:33:23The Captain is due back in the morning with the Kadi Minister. What do I do?
00:33:27Pray.
00:33:36Well, well, well. What do we have here?
00:33:38Mr. Paris, I believe you know Seven of Nine, my date for the evening.
00:33:42Oh, you don't say?
00:33:44Well, your last date ended up in Sick Bay.
00:33:46I hope this one goes a little smoother.
00:33:48There's no need to be insulting.
00:33:50It's all right, Doctor.
00:33:52I believe he is merely engaging in small talk.
00:33:54May I get either of you gentlemen a drink?
00:33:56Ah, yes, gin and tonic with a twist.
00:33:58You know I don't drink. I don't have the stomach for it.
00:34:01A well-crafted joke, Doctor.
00:34:08Impressive. You've actually taught her to be polite.
00:34:12But don't think you've won our bet.
00:34:14She was supposed to bring a real date.
00:34:16Photons and force fields, flesh and blood... why quibble over details?
00:34:20I'm just as real as any of you.
00:34:21TOMIN ( hollering ): Where is that funny man?
00:34:23Mr. Tomin, please, why don't we sit down?
00:34:27Ah, there he is-- There he is.
00:34:29Ensign Paris, tell us another one of those hologram jokes.
00:34:34You've been stealing my material?
00:34:36That guy's so lubricated he'll laugh at anything.
00:34:39There he is.
00:34:40The Ambassador of Humor.
00:34:44I could use a little help here.
00:34:46Seven, perhaps now would be a good time to review Lesson 23. "Toast of the Town."
00:34:52Very well.
00:34:57( tapping on glass )
00:34:58Ladies and gentlemen, I require your attention.
00:35:02May cultural differences encourage us to build bridges of understanding.
00:35:06To all that makes us unique.
00:35:16Who is that extraordinary female?
00:35:18Seven of Nine. I want to meet her.
00:35:21Take a number.
00:35:23That was lovely. Thank you.
00:35:24I've got to admit it. You've done wonders.
00:35:27All right, you win.
00:35:28"Win"? I know when I'm licked.
00:35:31You tell me when you want me to start those double shifts.
00:35:33You made a wager regarding me? Clarify.
00:35:36It's not what you think.
00:35:38Um, don't blame him. It was my idea.
00:35:41I believed your interest in my social development was sincere, not motivated by personal gain.
00:35:47It was sincere.
00:35:48Clearly, I am not the only one who requires social lessons.
00:35:52Thank you for a lovely evening.
00:35:58Hey...
00:36:01Why don't we go back to my quarters?
00:36:04I've studied human mating rituals.
00:36:06Remove your hand or I will remove your arm.
00:36:15Did you hear what she said to me?!
00:36:17I am the guest of honor!
00:36:19Ambassador, it's been a long day.
00:36:21Maybe you should get some rest.
00:36:23No! I'm not leaving!
00:36:25I want another drink!
00:36:38I thought synthehol wasn't supposed to have this effect on people.
00:36:41Most people. The enzymes that break down synthehol aren't present in his bloodstream.
00:36:46Can you counteract the effects?
00:36:48I can synthesize the enzymes, but that'll take days.
00:36:50Days? The Captain will be back in the morning.
00:36:53Maybe he needs a cold shower.
00:36:55If his superiors find him like this, he'll be banished from the colony and our trade agreement will go right out the airlock.
00:37:01Oh, Seven of mine.
00:37:03It may be possible to encode some of my nanoprobes to assimilate the synthehol molecules.
00:37:08Assimilate me.
00:37:09There may be some adverse effects.
00:37:11Please... But it's worth a try.
00:37:13The Kadi have rules against medical procedures that haven't been sanctified.
00:37:17I'd say he's already violated a few rules.
00:37:19What's one more?
00:37:21Either we treat him or he remains intoxicated.
00:37:23You're his caretaker. Decide.
00:37:27Nanoprobes.
00:37:36I owe you an apology.
00:37:38Nanoprobe extraction is an insignificant procedure.
00:37:40My systems will adapt.
00:37:42No... I'm referring to the... wager I made with Ensign Paris.
00:37:47I can see how you might have felt manipulated, but I assure you that was never my intention.
00:37:54I accept your apology.
00:37:57I want to make this perfectly clear, so there's no room for misunderstanding.
00:38:01I asked you to go with me to the reception because I enjoy your company.
00:38:08In fact, over the last few days,
00:38:11I feel as though we've... grown closer.
00:38:16Closer?
00:38:18We've become more than colleagues.
00:38:20We're... friends.
00:38:25Friends? Agreed.
00:38:27I should begin.
00:38:29Of course.
00:38:38I'll take over from here.
00:38:41Mr. Paris... hypothetically... if one develops romantic feelings for another person, how does one usually go about expressing them?
00:38:50It's for one of Seven's social lessons.
00:38:52Ah... well, I recommend the direct approach.
00:38:56Tell the person how you feel.
00:38:58What if the feelings aren't mutual?
00:39:01Well, that's the risk you always take.
00:39:04Oh... thank you.
00:39:10Why don't you tell her?
00:39:12Come on, Doc.
00:39:14It's obvious the Ambassador is not the only one in this room who's intoxicated.
00:39:18Impossible.
00:39:19She's my student.
00:39:22A hologram and a Borg?
00:39:24Stranger things have happened.
00:39:25Just look at me and B'Elanna.
00:39:34Uh, could... could we walk a little slower?
00:39:37They're due back any minute.
00:39:39But my throat feels like an ancient parchment.
00:39:42Can't we go back to Sandrine's for a refreshing glass of... Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:39:46No. No, no, no, no.
00:39:48Those doors... they're so loud.
00:39:51You've got a hangover.
00:39:53Neelix, I don't remember much of last night, but... I imagine I might have said some things...
00:39:59You spoke eloquently... charmed the entire crew... your reception was a success. Understand?
00:40:04Yes.
00:40:05Neelix, you've been most patient.
00:40:07Well, that's my job.
00:40:09And it isn't over yet.
00:40:14Welcome back! JANEWAY: Good to be home.
00:40:16How's it going?
00:40:18All systems functioning normally.
00:40:19Ensign Kim detected a minor fluctuation in the sensor array, but he took care of it.
00:40:24I was referring to Ambassador Tomin.
00:40:26Did he enjoy his visit? Oh, well... well, I would say that he, uh... he enjoyed himself immensely.
00:40:32There are many distractions aboard this vessel.
00:40:36You didn't indulge in any of their more... colorful traditions?
00:40:41Of course not!
00:40:42We followed the itinerary that you approved to the last detail.
00:40:46Oh... shame. Your Holiness?
00:40:49It isn't a violation to explore new experiences... as long as you don't make a habit of it.
00:40:56I see your point.
00:40:58Shall we conclude our negotiations, Captain?
00:41:01By all means.
00:41:02I'll show you to the briefing room.
00:41:04Good work... Ambassador.
00:41:18DOCTOR: Do you like them?
00:41:21Species Rosa rubifolia.
00:41:28State your intention.
00:41:29I wanted to congratulate you on the latest phase of your social development.
00:41:34Why don't you read the card?
00:41:41"You are my sunshine."
00:41:45These past few days have been... unforgettable.
00:41:52You've brought light into my life, Seven.
00:41:57You have developed romantic feelings for me.
00:41:59It's as if you've become a part of my program.
00:42:01When we're apart, I feel like I'm missing a subroutine.
00:42:06I don't expect you to reciprocate... but I wanted you to know how I feel.
00:42:15( door chimes )
00:42:17Computer, end program.
00:42:20Enter.
00:42:25Seven...
00:42:26I wish to speak with you.
00:42:28What a coincidence.
00:42:29I... was hoping to speak with you as well.
00:42:33Regarding?
00:42:36You first.
00:42:44What's this? It's a medical tricorder.
00:42:46I enhanced its scanning resolution by 33 percent.
00:42:49You once stated you desired a more efficient instrument.
00:42:52I suppose I did.
00:42:55It is a gift.
00:42:57Lesson 22. "Thanks for the Memories."
00:43:02Is it insufficient?
00:43:04No... no.
00:43:06It's very thoughtful.
00:43:09I chose to convey my gratitude at this time because I no longer require your assistance.
00:43:13It's obvious there are no potential mates for me aboard this vessel.
00:43:16However, if I encounter a compatible individual in the future, I will again seek your guidance.
00:43:22Guidance.
00:43:25Of course.
00:43:27You said you had something to tell me.
00:43:33I just wanted to say... the past few days... have been unforgettable.
00:43:44Thank you.
00:43:45You're welcome.
