Henry Janeway : Any customers this morning?
Jason Janeway : No one here but us galliforms.

Shannon O'Donnell : You know, Mr. Moss offered me a job in Canton, even though I failed to keep up my end of the bargain. I guess he felt sorry for me, but I'm prepared to turn him down... if you want me to stay with you.
Henry Janeway : [after a pause] I suppose I could... reopen my shop in that monstrosity you wanna build.
Shannon O'Donnell : [smiles] And I'll have a few connections. I could probably get you a nice remote location, so nobody would bother you.
Henry Janeway : Not much profit in that. You sure you won't drive away again?
Shannon O'Donnell : No, but if I do, we'll make the trip together.
-
Henry Janeway : You know, I was born in the wrong millennium.
Shannon O'Donnell : I'll stick with the modern age.
Henry Janeway : The classical age. Greatest literature mankind ever produced.
Shannon O'Donnell : No antibiotics.
Henry Janeway : Families that take care of one another.

-
Shannon O'Donnell : I'm in a transitional period.
Henry Janeway : From what to what?
Shannon O'Donnell : From what I was doing to what I'm going to do.
-
Shannon O'Donnell : I love to see places I've never been and try new things. I'm kind of an explorer.
Henry Janeway : Really? Huh. That station wagon of yours doesn't exactly look like a sailing ship.
Shannon O'Donnell : It's a rocket ship.
Henry Janeway : My mistake.
-
Shannon O'Donnell : I've learned a few details about the Millennium Gate. It's a self-sustaining city, an experimental biosphere. It's never been done before.
Henry Janeway : What's wrong with the biosphere we're living in now?
Shannon O'Donnell : Nothing.
Henry Janeway : Exactly.
Shannon O'Donnell : But this project will help scientists learn more about our environment, possibly even recreate it on other worlds.
Henry Janeway : Other worlds! Don't we have enough problems on the one we're on?
Shannon O'Donnell : Yeah. Which is why I'd like to get the hell off it one day.
Henry Janeway : I think you're taking this exploring a little too far.
-
Henry Janeway : Zeus himself watched over travelers. We should follow his example.
-
Henry Janeway : [indicating his library] These are my traveling companions. They'll take me anywhere anytime.
Shannon O'Donnell : It's not such a bad idea to experience the real thing every now and then.
Henry Janeway : I prefer my books.
Shannon O'Donnell : Maybe you just never had the right guide.
Henry Janeway : Is that an offer? I could make a similar argument: not such a bad idea to, uh, settle down every now and then.
Shannon O'Donnell : Is that an offer?
-
Henry Janeway : They have offered us 20% above the market price for our properties. You know what the catch is? We've *all* got to sell.
Shannon O'Donnell : Everybody must love you.
Henry Janeway : Hm, yeah. People I knew when I was growing up, family friends, it seems like they've all just turned against me. If this were Roman times, they'd feed me to the lions.
Shannon O'Donnell : To the good old days.
-
Henry Janeway : This time, Rome withstands the Barbarians.
-
Shannon O'Donnell : Half the town is out there, you're on the news, maybe you'll even go down in history; you have made your point.
Henry Janeway : Well, obviously I haven't, because if I had, you wouldn't be asking me to sign my life away.
Shannon O'Donnell : Maybe, if you'd looked up from your books once in a while, you'd see what's in front of you.
Henry Janeway : Oh, please, no more speeches about the future.
Shannon O'Donnell : As long as I don't have to hear you pontificate about the past.
Henry Janeway : It's a deal. Glad we had this chat. Goodbye.
-
Henry Janeway : Then why are you here?
Shannon O'Donnell : It was the cookies.
Henry Janeway : Cookies?
Shannon O'Donnell : I was on the interstate, I stopped for gas, and I bought a bag of chocolate chip cookies in a convenience store. It's a little ritual of mine. Whenever I get back on the highway, I like to treat myself.
Henry Janeway : I see. Well, um... what does this have to do with anything?
Shannon O'Donnell : They didn't taste good, Henry. It wasn't the same. I just kept thinking about you, and how I wish you'd been there.
Henry Janeway : Actually, I prefer oatmeal cookies. I'm allergic to chocolate.
Shannon O'Donnell : Oh, you don't know what you're missing.
