One Side

There was an argument in the messhall the other day.

No, it was a different kind of argument - Neelix stayed safely away. Or, rather, he joined the defense.

Us.

Yes, they were arguing over us.

No, not whether we . . . precisely.

They were arguing about our feelings for eachother. As if it's their domain to -

Whether or not we're still, I think it was, "madly, passionately in love."

I don't know. Are we?

Yeah. After all this time, we haven't lost something, have we?

They don't know about that! Do they?

I agree. We're still . . . .

Exactly. They just don't see it.

The Other

An argument? There are always arguments - usually over Neelix's cooking.

What were they arguing over that Neelix had to defend?

Us?

And whether or not we still . . . .

Well, what were they arguing about? Don't leave me in suspense.

Our feelings for each other? What exactly are they questioning? Don't they have a clue that -

Aren't we "madly, passionately in love?"

I think so.

Well, certainly not in certain areas. You know, fighting, making love.

Damn, I hope not. But, it doesn't matter. What they don't see, they don't know. That way, they can't say a thing.

Madly, passionately in love?
