Gavan O'Herlihy: Maje Jabin

Quotes 

• Jabin : Be advised, Captain. I have called for additional ships.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I'm calling to warn you to move your vessels to a safe distance. I intend to destroy the array.

  Jabin : You can't do that.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I can and I will. End transmission.

• Jabin : Have you come to investigate the entity's strange behavior, too, Captain?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : All we care about is getting home, Jabin. We're about to transport over to the array to see if we can arrange it.

  Jabin : I'm afraid I cannot permit that.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : We have no dispute with you.

  Jabin : I have a dispute with anyone who would challenge us.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : This is ridiculous. We have no intention of challenging you.

  Jabin : And I have no intention of letting anyone with your technological knowledge board the array.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Jabin, can we discuss this like two civilized...

  [Jabin ends the transmission] 

  Tuvok : They're powering up their weapons.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I guess we can't.

• Jabin : How can we help someone so powerful they can create water out of thin air?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [indicating Neelix]  This man led us here suggesting we might find a people called the Ocampa. Do you know where they are?

  Jabin : Ocampa?

  [pointing to Kes] 

  Jabin : She is Ocampa. Why would you be interested in such worthless creatures? They live only nine years. They make poor servants. We caught her when she wandered to the surface.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : To the surface? You mean they live underground?

  Jabin : The entity in space that gives them food and power also gives them sole access to the only water on this world; two miles below the surface.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : This same entity has abducted two of our people. We believe they might be with the Ocampa.

  Jabin : There's no way to get to them. We tried. The entity has established some kind of subterranean barrier we cannot penetrate.

  Chakotay : But she got out.

  Jabin : Occasionally, some of them do find their way to the surface. We don't know how. But the Ocampa seal the tunnels afterwards.

  Neelix : Maybe she can help these good people find a way down.

  Jabin : [laughing]  You'd be wasting your time. I've used every method of persuasion I know to get her to help us. She won't!

  Neelix : Then she's worthless to you. Let us trade you water for this scrawny little thing.

  Jabin : I'd be more interested in acquiring this technology that allows you to create water from thin air.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : That would be difficult. It's integrated into our ship's systems.

• Jabin : You have made an enemy today!
