"Missing? The captain is missing? It seems I've found myself on a Voyage of the Damned. Very well, please advise the highest ranking officer who is not missing to see me at his earliest convenience."

"I'm a doctor, Mister Neelix, not a decorator."

"A nebula? What were we doing in a nebula? No wait, don't tell me. We were 'investigating'. That's all we do around here. Why pretend we're going home at all, all we're going to do is 'investigate' every cubic millimetre of this quadrant, aren't we?"

"There's one more request... something of a personal nature... I would like... a name."

"You can use logic to justify almost anything. That's its power. And its flaw."

"On the contrary, the demands on a Vulcan's character are extraordinarily difficult. Do not mistake composure for ease."

"It is a tempting prospect, but when I hold it up against the prospect of seeing the sunrise over the Arizona desert, or swimming in the gulf of Mexico on a summer's day, there's just no comparison. I want to go home."

"You should have let me die."

"I'm not in the habit of killing children."

"Why are you so eager for me to kill you?"

"What's so different about us? Aside from the fact that I keep saving your life and you keep threatening to kill me."

"You won't stop me from earning my name, Federation."

"Not Federation! Chakotay. That's my name."

"You once told me that you used to treat life like one big game. Rules, players, winners, losers... you never took any of it seriously, until you lost."

"You should consider it a high complement. Throughout history men have fought over the love of a woman. Why, I can quote you autopsy reports from duels as far back as 1538."

"You're a powerful little thing. I must say, you surprised me."

"It's not even tempting."

"Why did you do this to us?"

"I don't have a life, I have a program."

"Flattery, devotion, sex... I thought she had a lot to offer a man."

"Hello, Chakotay. Congratulations on your victory. I look forward to our next meeting. Oh, and there's something you should know. While you were unconscious, I took the liberty of extracting a sample of your DNA. I impregnated myself with it. So, I guess more congratulations are in order. You're going to be a father."

"I'm putting you on report, in case that means anything anymore."

"It means something to me, Captain. It means I've let you down... and for that I'm truly sorry."

"Shh, shh. Don't worry. Everything's all right now. My little girl is home."

"Vulcans are capable of suppressing certain levels of physical pain. Beyond that, we must simply endure the experience."

"Can you wake him?"

"I don't see why not. WAKE UP, LIEUTENANT!'"

"In principle, if you were ever to reach warp 10, you'd be traveling at infinite velocity."

"Infinite velocity, got it. So, that means very fast."

"If this works, you'll be joining an elite group of pilots. Orville Wright, Neil Armstrong, Zefram Cochrane… and Tom Paris."

"I kind of like the way that sounds."

"If Voyager achieved warp ten, we could be home in as long as it takes to push a button."

"I'm a doctor, not a performer."

"Hello, Seska. You're looking radiantly maternal."

"I hear you're leaving the ship."

"Good news travels fast, I guess."

"I know that I've been acting like a jerk for the last couple of months. Unfortunately, I had to behave that way if the spy was going to believe that I really wanted to leave the ship. So, I'd like to apologize to anyone that I might have offended... especially Commander Chakotay, I gave him a pretty hard time. Not that it wasn't a certain amount of fun, mind you."

"I am programmed to be heroic when the need arises."

"Mister Kim, we're Starfleet Officers. Weird is part of the job"

"We often fear what we don't understand. Our best defence is knowledge."

"You know as well as I do that fear exists for one purpose, to be conquered."

"That lovely tune is a traditional funeral dirge"

"I know... but it was the, ah, the most cheerful I could find in the Vulcan Database."

"Do you think you could possibily behave a little less like yourself?"

"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 man 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. That 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 tribe because 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."

"Is that really an ancient legend?"

"No. But that made it easier to say."

"It feels like we're being pecked to death by ducks!"

"It's my fault. If I hadn't told Hogan to pick up those bones."

"You shouldn't blame yourself."

"Stop it. There is no time to worry about blame. Hogan was a fine officer and a good man. And our job is to make sure that his death is the last one for a very long time. I will not let this planet destroy my crew."

"I'm a doctor, not a counter-insurgent."

"Huddle together in groups, that'll preserve body heat. This is no time to be shy."

"Trapped on a barren planet, and you're stuck with the only Indian in the universe who can't start a fire by rubbing two sticks together."

"One hologram and one sociopath may not be much of a match for the Kazon, but… we'll have to do."

"You're more talented in the art of deception than you led me to believe."

"I was inspired by the presence of a master."

"I won't play these games with a trick of light."

"Sticks and stones won't break my bones, so you can imagine how I feel about being called names."

"The other two seem to be trying to figure out what to make of us... In a manner of speaking, not in a culinary sense, I hope."

"You would have been proud of him, Mr. Tuvok."

"I offer you a Vulcan prayer, Mr. Suder. May your death bring you the peace you never found in life."

"Space must have seemed a whole lot bigger back then. It's not surprising they had to bend the rules a little. They were a little slower to invoke the Prime Directive, and a little quicker to pull their phasers. Of course, the whole bunch of them would be booted out of Starfleet today. But I have to admit, I would have loved to ride shotgun at least once with a group of officers like that."

"You'll find that more happens on the bridge of a starship than just carrying out orders and observing regulations. There is a sense of loyalty to the men and women you serve with, a sense of family. Those two men on trial... I served with them for a long time. I owe them my life a dozen times over. And right now they're in trouble, and I'm going to help them. Let the regulations be damned."

"Mister Tuvok, if you're going to remain on my ship, you're going to have to learn how to appreciate a joke. And don't tell me Vulcans don't have a sense of humour, because I know better."

"You want to know what I remember? Somebody saying 'this man is my friend. Nobody touches him.' I'll remember that for a long time."

"I'm a diagnostic tool, not an Engineer."

"What are we going to do?"

"What a Ferengi always does in a situation this grave."

"Panic?"

"No, you idiot! He goes to the Rules of Acquisition. Unabridged and fully annotated with all 47 commentaries, all 900 major and minor judgments, all 10,000 considered opinions. There's a rule for every conceivable situation."

"I told you there was no rule."

"Then it's time to invoke the unwritten rule."

"The unwritten rule?"

"When no appropriate rule applies… make one up."

"That's a very good rule."

"Arridor?"

"What is it now?"

"We had seven years of pure profit."

"We did, didn't we?"

"Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough."

"There's a difference between respecting the spiritual beliefs of other cultures and embracing them myself."

"Who are you people? And what is that thing in your pants?"

"Tuvok, has anybody ever told you you're a real freakasaurus?"

"I can't help wondering whether I could have fought harder."

"It was your absolute refusal to surrender which defeated him. You cannot ask more of yourself than that."

"Yes, but how close would you have to get to use this device?"

"To be fully effective, it would have to come in direct contact with her skin."

"If I could get anywhere near her, I'd use a thoron rifle to be absolutely sure."

"What are you doing with that dog? I'm not talking about the puppy!"

"I may never put my hands on my hips again."

"You had no way of knowing you were making one of the worst insults possible."

"As for the larger versions of the virus... what I have termed the macrovirus... I would suggest a flyswatter."

"Good health."

"You can't just walk away from your responsibilities because you made a mistake."

"Kal-toh is to chess as chess is to tic-tac-toe."

"Are you two friends?"

"Yes."

"No."

"I have already taken the liberty of reserving a table, Lieutenant, with a view of the lakeside. You did express a fondness for that particular vista."

"I did?"

"Five days ago, in a conversation we had in Engineering regarding holodeck programs."

"I guess, maybe I did."

"Mr. Kim, I value our working relationship. I would not allow a holodeck character to disrupt that."

"If there was a rocky path and a smooth one, you chose the rocky one every time."

"You're afraid that your big scary Klingon side may have been showing. Well, I saw it up close. And you know, it wasn't so terrible. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing it again someday."

"We're creating a society here, one that's based on tolerance, shared responsibility and mutual respect that people like you and I were raised to believe in. We're not about to give it up just because it's difficult."

"Free of passion? One might as well be free of Humanity."

"I am looking for Mr. Neelix's instinct. Perhaps it will be marked"

"Perhaps you are experiencing a paradoxical state-dependent associative phenomenon."

"Déjà vu."

"What's your next trick, Harry? Pull a shuttlecraft out of a hat?"

"Harry. What happened to your face?"

"We're still trying to figure that out."

"It's kind of cute. Makes you look like a speckled targ!"

"You keep working on that sense of humour, Commander Vulcan. You'll get it one day."

"No one has a family like this... this is a fantasy! You're not going to learn anything from living with these... lollipops."

"Captain, this is one weird disturbance!"

"You created that program so you could experience what it's like to have a family. The good times and the bad. You can't have one without the other."

"I fail to see why not."

"Think about what's happened to us here aboard Voyager. Everyone left people behind, and everyone suffered a loss. But look how it's brought us all closer together. We found support here, and friendship, and we've become a family, in part because of the pain we share. If you turn your back on this program, you'll always be stuck at this point. You'll never have the chance to say goodbye to your daughter. Or to be there for your wife and son when they need you. And you'll be cheating yourself out of their love and support. In the long run, you'll miss the whole point of what it means to have a family."

"I know from the history of my own planet that change is difficult."

"Welcome to sickbay. Take a number."

"Remember the good old days when it was impossible to keep a secret on a ship this small?"

"I don't care what kind of story it is, as long as I'm not the bad guy this time."

"Twenty ccs nitric acid – a little proverbial salt in the wound."

"You will be assimilated. Resistence is-" KABOOM!!!

"You are erratic. Conflicted. Disorganised. Every decision is debated, every action questioned, every individual entitled to their own small opinion. You lack harmony, cohesion, greatness. It will be your undoing."

"One voice can be stronger than a thousand voices."

"Tell me something. When you hear about people like the Caatati, do you have any feelings of remorse?"

"No."

"That's it? Just no?"

What further answer do you require?"

"Well maybe some kind of acknowledgement of the billions of lives you helped destroy. A justification for what you did. Maybe a little sense of guilt."

Guilt is irrelevant."

"Heartwarming."

"Killing's the worst thing I've ever had to do."

"I understand the concept of humour. It may not be apparent, but I am often amused by Human behaviour."

"You are… Talaxian."

"Guilty as charged."

"Species Two One Eight."

"I suppose so."

"Your biological and technological distinctiveness was added to our own."

"I hadn't realized that."

"A small freighter… containing a crew of thirty-nine. Taken in the Dalmine Sector. They were easily assimilated. Their dense musculature made them excellent Drones."

"Lucky for you, I guess. Your nutrients."

"Curious sensation."

"You'll get used to it. Have some more."

"Seven of Nine, this is The Doctor. Can you hear me? It's me, The Doctor. I've tapped into your audio implants so only you can hear me. It's imperative that you tell no one. Make any excuse to get out of there and report to holodeck two. I'm hiding in the Da Vinci simulation. I'll explain everything when you get here."

"You are security chief. Don't thirteen department heads report to you every day?"

"Yes."

"Well, straighten them out."

"Shall I flog them as well?"

"Don't move. If your people attempt to incapacitate me, I will kill you."

"I believe you. What do you intend to do now?"

"You will come with me to speak to the captain. I am certain she will have questions for you."

"Sorry, these lab rats are fighting back."

"Good morning, captain."

"That's a matter of opinion."

"That's what you were trying to accomplish, wasn't it? Hmm? Pumping up my dopamine levels to push me to the edge, keeping me awake for four days straight with the constant pain of your devices drilling into my skull. Well, this is the culmination of your work, and... guess what... you're going to be right here to collect the final data."

"Abandon ship? The answer's no. I'm not breaking up the family, Chakotay."

"Time's... up!"

"I dread the day when everyone on this ship agrees with me."

"No matter how vast the differences may be between cultures, people always have something that somebody else wants. And trade is born."

"Monsters in the replicator. Who else on this ship can handle that?"

"Resistance is futile."

"It appears, that in my haste to report to the bridge, I neglected to put on my uniform."

"Captain, Ensign Kim, Commander Chakotay. I'm glad to see you all up and about…"

"Sometimes first contact is last contact."

"Congratulations, commander. You're awake."

"I'm a doctor, not a commando!"

"I have even had sexual relations."

"Sex, how's that possible? We're not equipped…"

"Let's just say I made an addition to my program."

"I'm a pilot, Harry, not a doctor!"

"We're not afraid you're going to assimilate us, we're just not used to... you just... you're rude."

"I am rude..."

"The secondary gyrodyne relays in the propulsion field inter-matrix have depolarized."

"In English!"

"I'm just reading what it says here!"

"Our viewscreen is non-operational. We've had some trouble with... Starfleet commandos..."

"My brilliant existence cut short... no time to explore the universe... no time to smell the roses... no time for... sex..."

"Another one."

"I beg your pardon?"

"I've retrieved another word of text. That makes six."

"Six words in fifty-eight hours?"

"I'm finishing my weekly tactical review. When it's completed I'll read the message."

"You're going to wait until you finish the tactical review?"

"Do you have any reason to believe the content of the message will change during that time?"

"I'm reading bones, muscle tissue from at least nine different species. It's all being broken down by some sort of enzyme."

"Perhaps this is their method of denaturating their prey."

"Either that or it's dinner."

"Part of becoming Human is learning to have compassion for those who are suffering, even when they're your bitter enemies."

"It is puzzling."

"What's that?"

"You made me into an individual. You encouraged me to stop thinking like a member of the collective... to cultivate my independence... my Humanity. But when I try to assert that independence, I am punished."

"Individuality has its limits. Especially on a starship, where there's a command structure."

"I believe that you are punishing me because I don't think the way that you do... because I'm not becoming more like you. You claim to respect my individuality... but in fact, you are frightened by it."

"As you were."

"I do not feel perfect."

"What do you mean?"

"I am preoccupied by Kovin's death."

"Join the club. It's all I can think about."

"As a Borg, I was responsible for the destruction of countless millions and I felt nothing, but now I regret the destruction of this single being."

"It's called remorse, Seven. It comes into play when you make a mistake, and you feel guilt about what you've done. Another new emotion for you to experience."

"I do not enjoy this remorse any more than I enjoyed anger. Will the feeling subside?"

"Yes. But not quickly."

"I would rather not have to wait."

"I'm afraid you don't have much choice." [Pauses as he watches Seven leave] "But maybe I do."

"That guy is worse than a Ferengi!"

"When I started helping you improve your social skills, I'm fairly certain I didn't include a boxing lesson."

"I must discontinue this activity. I am not well."

"Go to hell!"

"We've got to stop meeting like this."

"They're Nazis, totalitarian fanatics, bent on world conquest. The Borg of their day. No offense."

"Pardon me gentlemen, I wonder if I might have a word with you."

"They're Klingons, not kittens."

"Loosen up baby doll, the war's almost over."

"What do you think? Boy or a girl?"

"It's a holographic projection."

"Unfortunately, it's a very good projection. I feel 20 kilos heavier. It even kicks."

"Accept this... trophy. You can use it to create a new future for your people. At the very least, you can hang it on your bulkhead."

"Ow! Ow! What do you think you're doing, doc?"

"An impromptu auditory exam."

"Did I pass?"

"With flying colors, which leads me to believe you did hear me when I requested you meet me this morning."

"Somebody call for a driver?"

"No offence, but I'd like to get out of your body as soon as possible."

"On one occasion, we were able to create a single Omega molecule. We kept it stable for one trillionth of a nanosecond before it destabilized."

"Tell me, how many Borg were sacrificed during this experiment?"

"29 vessels, 600,000 drones, but that is irrelevant."

"Your new designation is Two of Ten."

"Wait a minute. You're demoting me? Since when did the Borg pull rank?"

"It's Starfleet protocol I adapted. I find it most useful."

"I'm glad you're not the captain."

"I always thought that Starfleet was run by duty-crazed bureaucrats, but I find it hard to believe that even they would order a captain to go on a suicide mission. This shuttle excursion is your idea, isn't it?"

"I wondered who was running my program. Master da Vinci doesn't like visitors after midnight."

"He protested. I deactivated him."

"For 3.2 seconds, I... saw perfection."

"So. You're going to realign your sensors with Seven's. Sounds like fun."

"Basically, she was a security operative for her people. She is a trained expert in weaponry, surveillance fighting skills. Any idea where she might fit in?"

"Mr. Neelix could use an assistant in the Mess Hall."

"Even today, seven hundred years later, we are still feeling the impact of the Voyager encounter."

"Don't look so shocked, ambassador. This is what you wanted, isn't it?"

"Pure fiction. This is absurd."

"Halt re-creation. This is a reasonable extrapolation from historic record. But if you'd like to point out any inconsistencies..."

"Inconsistencies? I don't know where to begin. Granted, this looks like the briefing room, but these aren't the people I knew! No one behaved like this... well, aside from Mr. Paris."

"Somewhere... halfway across the galaxy, I hope... Captain Janeway is spinning in her grave."

"You've portrayed us as monsters: the captain is a cold-blooded killer, the crew is a gang of thugs and I am a mass-murderer."

"For your information, I don't appreciate being deactivated in the middle of a sentence. It brings back... unpleasant memories."

"You miss them, don't you?"

"From my perspective, I saw them all only a few days ago. But in fact, it's been centuries. And I'll never see them again. Did they ever reach home? I wonder."

"Anybody's got any other ideas, I'm listening."

"We could set up a bicycle in the Mess Hall, attach a generator; pedal home?"

"Now why didn't I think of that?"

"...and I volunteer Harry to take the first shift!"

"Status?"

"I could give you a litany of damaged systems, Captain, but suffice it to say, now that we're down, we won't be going up again soon."

"Looks like they went this way."

"My tricorder isn't picking up any life signs. How did you reach that conclusion?"

"Footprints... I guess you never assimilated any Indian scouts..."

"Between impulse and action, there is a realm of good taste begging for your acquaintance!"

"Wow…"

"Wow, indeed."

"My people managed to elude the Borg for centuries! Outwitting them, always one step ahead! But in recent years, the Borg began to weaken our defenses. They were closing in, and Species 8472 was our last hope to defeat them. You took that away from us! The outer colonies were the first to fall; 23 in a matter of hours. Our sentry vessels tossed aside, no defense against the storm. And by the time they had surrounded our star system... hundreds of cubes... we had already surrendered to our own terror."

"I'm your captain. That means I can't always be your friend. Understand?"

"No. However, if we are assimilated, then our thoughts will become one, and I'm sure I will understand perfectly."

"You were correct, captain. My desire to remain in the Delta Quadrant was based on fear. I am no longer Borg... but the prospect of becoming Human is... unsettling. I don't know where I belong."

"You belong with us."

"I can't begin to imagine your loss. But try to see beyond your desire for revenge."

"Revenge is all I have left."

"No. As long as you're alive, there's hope. Your people's accomplisments, their knowledge, their dignity can survive in you. End this."

"Impossible is a word that Humans use far too often."

"Time to take out the garbage."

"Joke, a verbal comment or gesture designed to provoke laughter."

"I see you've got your mothers sense of humour."

"Well if we can't transport it out, we'll just have to fly in and grab it."

"Perhaps you weren't paying attention when the Malon freighter imploded?"

"It's a date! These things can't be rushed. They've probably just finished dinner, a couple of drinks, and now they are moving past the polite stage."

"The polite stage? The last 8472 I met tried to dissolve me from the inside out!"

"My youngest child has been without a father for four years. Yet I am certain of her well being; that I conveyed my values to her before leaving. And I have confidence in the integrity of those around her. You have been an exemplary mother to Naomi, and she is in the hands of people you trust. She will survive, and prosper, no matter what becomes of us."

"You have always been of enormous assistance to me, Doctor. You...You are my mentor."

"Naomi Wildman, subunit of Ensign Samantha Wildman. State your intentions."

"Harry, you and I were lucky enough to enjoy the doctor's scintillating exhibition for two full hours. Would it really be fair of us to deny our friends the same unforgettable experience?"

"Lieutenant Thomas Eugene Paris... I hereby reduce you to the rank of Ensign. And I sentence you to 30 days solitary confinement."

"Computer, change music selection. Mahler's Symphony Number One, Second Movement... maybe this will help you relax."

"It is unsettling. You say that I am a human being and yet, I am also Borg... Part of me not unlike your replicator... Not unlike the Doctor. Will you one day choose to abandon me as well?"

"We didn't burst into flames in the last chapter! Why are these recaps always so inaccurate?"

"I'm a Doctor, not a battery!"

"I'm a doctor, not a dragonslayer!"

"Now this is how I prefer the Borg. In pieces!"

"There are three things to remember about being a starship captain. Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship... and never abandon a member of your crew."

"Physiologically, it bears a striking similarity to disease. A series of biochemical responses that trigger an emotional cascade impairing normal functioning."

"We're gathered here today, not as Starfleet officers, but as friends and family, to celebrate the marriage of two of Voyager's finest..."

"Success seems to be in short supply lately."

"Acquiring knowledge is a worthy objective. But its pursuit has obviously not elevated you."

"I suppose it's always going to be like this...Me against the galaxy."

"There is no one on Deck Nine, Section 12 who doesn't know when you're having intimate relations."

"...and the Y2K bug didn't turn off a single light bulb."

"Your captain has a knack for sticking her nose where it doesn't belong; especially when it comes to time travel."

"I held you up as an example of how an artificial intelligence could exceed its programming. I didn't realize how true that was...until today."

"It's easy to cling to principles when you're standing on a vessel with its bulkheads intact, manned by a crew that's not starving!"

"It's never easy...but if we turn our backs on our principles we stop being human."

"It's quite disconcerting to know that all someone has to do is flick a switch to turn me into Mr. Hyde"

"Come on, Tuvok. After all the xenophobic races we've run into, don't you find it just a little refreshing to meet some people who value openness and freedom?"

"We only have one multi-spatial probe, I didn't want to lose it."

"We only have one B'Elanna Torres. I don't want to lose her, either."

"Tuvok, I understand, You are a Vulcan man, You have just gone without, For seven years, about.
Paris, please find a way, To load a hypospray, I will give you the sign, Just aim for his behind
Hormones are raging, Synapses blazing, It's all so veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrry illogical!"

"Maybe you can explain why every time he finds a new hobby I go right out the airlock?"

"The Vulcan brain; a puzzle wrapped inside an enigma housed inside a cranium."

"When it rains... do you run from doorway to doorway trying to stay dry, getting wet all the while? Or, do you just accept the fact that it's raining and walk with dignity?"

"What I've seen proves we were right to come out here. We're not alone...I know that now."

"Catapult a vessel across space, in the time it takes to say 'catapult a vessel across space.'"

"I want you all to know we're doing everything we can to bring you home."

"We appreciate it, sir. Keep a docking bay open for us!"

"Delete the wife."

"Our ignorant ancestors believed every star was a deity. You taught me how foolish that was. 'Superstition,' you called it."

"Tuvok, when have operations on this ship ever been normal?"

"Words alone cannot convey the suffering. Words alone cannot prevent what happened here from happening again. Beyond words lies experience. Beyond experience lies truth. Make this truth your own."

"I've spent the last three years struggling to regain my Humanity. I'm afraid I may have lost it again in that arena."

"You are experiencing difficult emotions."

"Guilt, shame, remorse."

"Then you haven't lost your Humanity. You have reaffirmed it."

"Not today and not by you."

"They're not exactly drones. Mature Borg are predictable. They'll ignore you or assimilate you, but these juveniles, they're unstable."

"They are contemptuous of authority, convinced that they are superior. Typical adolescent behavior for any species."

"Sweet dreams."

"I've got a boyfriend who malfunctions!"

"Fun will now commence."

"Why potatoes?"

"Their first idea was to clone Naomi, but I suggested they start with something smaller."

"Welcome home, Icheb."

"I would like to return to Voyager, now."

"Perhaps not."

"It's time for you to regenerate."

"And if I choose to continue my studies?"

"It's your decision."

"If it wanted to get to know me better, it should have just asked me out for a drink!"

"The Oracle of K'Tal isn't programmed to wear pyjamas."

"And Voyager will continue on her journey to the gleaming cities of Earth... where peace reigns and hatred has no home."

"They'll realize that beneath your unfeeling exterior is a heart that's breaking! Silently, and in more pain than any of us can possibly understand, because that's what it is to be Vulcan!"

"It was a fire hazard."

"Welcome to Sickbay. How may I help you today?"

"I tried passing the time with a little conversation. But as you've probably noticed, he's not exactly what you'd call chatty."

"I didn't notice a little box on my chair!"

"Lieutenant. A first officer could get in a lot of trouble for talking to his captain that way."

"Well, I've learned from the best."

"If I ever imply that it's been easy on you these last few years, remind me about today."

"Stardate 38774. Vulcanis Lunar colony. The time and place of my birth."

"You don't need the Collective to validate your existence. You've made an impact on every member of this crew. That's your legacy."

"Will you marry me?"

"Let me get this straight. You've gone to all this trouble to program a three-dimensional environment that projects a two-dimensional image and now you're asking me to wear these to make it look three-dimensional again?"

"You were hoping your behaviour was the result of a malfunction? I'm sorry, Doctor. But I must give you a clean bill of health."

"Was everything that happened between us a lie?"

"Not everything. Just the parts where I expressed affection for you."

"When did it become a crime to enjoy a sensation or two? Of course, you'd be the last person to understand that."

"Have you thought about applying to the advocate general's office? You'd make a good lawyer."

"Is there anything in your spiritual programming about making peace with your enemies?"

"It's difficult to make peace with people whose sole purpose is to kill you."

"How can I punish you for being who you are?"

"Sounds like it's going to be one disaster after another on this ship!"

"You're in a good mood."

"It's another beautiful day in the Delta Quadrant."

"What did you have for breakfast?"

"I'm detecting another lifesign!"

"Where?"

"Inside Lieutenant Torres. It could be a parasite."

"Have you checked the warp core for radiation leaks today?"

"No. Why?"

"You have a certain... glow about you."

"Maybe that's what pregnancy's for, time to let reality sink in… before your life spins out of control."

"Offspring can be disturbingly illogical, yet profoundly fulfilling. You should anticipate paradox."

"Look, whatever the reason was, I'm sure it was a horrible thing for you to live with. Wait a minute, you don't think... B'Elanna, I am never going to leave you."

"You say that now but think about how hard it is to live with one Klingon. Pretty soon it'll be two."

"Someday I hope it's three or four. I mean it, and I hope that every one of them is just like you. B'Elanna, I am not your father and you are not your mother, and our daughter is going to be perfect just the way she is."

"She is cute, isn't she?"

"I'm a different person now, a better person. This crew has helped me to see that."

"They clashed with the carpet."

"...I've become convinced that we've got to stick to our principles, not abandon them."

"Should the crew be ready to die for those principles?"

"If the alternative means becoming thieves and killers ourselves... yes."

"I can already tell it's going to be much better than my last job."

"It may not have been real, Chakotay, but it felt like home. If you hadn't come after me, I never would have known that I had another life."

"Are you sorry I showed up?"

"Not for a second."

"To the newest member of our crew; may all her desires be fulfilled except for one. So she'll always have something to strive for."

"If the continuum has told you once they have told you a thousand times. DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!"

"There must be millions of viruses in this quadrant that no one's ever encountered before. With my luck I'll probably end up catching half of them!"

"We the people of Earth greet you in a spirit of peace and humility. As we venture out of our solar system we hope to earn the trust and friendship of other worlds."

"Piloting lessons!"

"Goodbye. And good luck, Ambassador."

"I'd never admit this to anyone else, but there was a time when I would have given anything to be flesh and blood. But I've come to realize that being a hologram is far superior."

"Set a course...for home."
