| Seven : | "I do not feel perfect." |
| EMH : | "What do you mean?" |
| Seven : | "I am preoccupied by Kovin's death." |
| EMH : | "Join the club. It's all I can think about." |
| Seven : | "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." |
| EMH : | "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." |
| Seven : | "I do not enjoy this remorse any more than I enjoyed anger. Will the feeling subside?" |
| EMH : | "Yes. But not quickly." |
| Seven : | "I would rather not have to wait." |
| EMH : | "I'm afraid you don't have much choice." [Pauses as he watches Seven leave] "But maybe I do." |
