- B'Elanna Torres: How the hell do you know when we're having intimate relations?
- Seven of Nine: There is no one on deck 9 section 12 who does not know when you're having intimate relations.
- Tuvok: [after repelling a creature from Voyager's hull] It appears we have lost our sex appeal, Captain.
- Captain Janeway: Mind melds... the last time I heard the words "my mind to your mind", I had a headache for two weeks.
- Seven of Nine: You would deny us the choice as you deny us now. You have imprisoned us in the name of humanity yet you will not grant us your most cherished human right - to choose our own fate. You are hypocritical, manipulative. We do not want to be what you are. Return us to the Collective!
- Captain Janeway: You lost the capacity to make a rational choice the moment you were assimilated. They took that from you. And until I am convinced you've gotten it back, I'm making the choice for you. You're staying here.
- Seven of Nine: Then you are no different from the Borg.
- Tom Paris: Well, Harry and I wanted to explore the station. We wanted to broaden our understanding of alien cultures and...
- Captain Janeway: Skip the recruiting speech, you were looking for a bar.
- [during the birth of B'Elanna's baby]
- The Doctor: Will you relax?
- B'Elanna Torres: If you tell me to relax one more time, I'm going to rip your holographic head off!
- The Doctor: I hope you don't intend to kiss your baby with that mouth.
- Borg Queen: They've left behind their trivial selfish lives and been reborn with a greater purpose. We've delivered them from chaos into order.
- Seven of Nine: Comforting words. Use them next time instead of "resistance is futile". You may elicit a few volunteers.
- Captain Janeway: 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.
- Neelix: I feel like I'm all alone.
- The Doctor: You *are* all alone. I'm only a holographic projection.
- Harry Kim: When I think about everything we've been through together, maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey, and if that journey takes a little longer, so we can do something we all believe in, I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
- Tom Paris: To the journey.
- Chakotay: Hear here.
- Chakotay: ...If Neelix has another Talent Night I hope you'll reprise it.
- Captain Janeway: Oh no, not until certain other people take their turn, the ship's first officer, for instance.
- Chakotay: Me, get up in front of people and perform? I don't think so.
- Captain Janeway: Come on, Chakotay. There must be some talent you have that people would enjoy. Maybe I could stand with an apple on my head and you could phaser it off.
- Chakotay: Sounds great. If I miss I get to be captain.
- Tuvok: I am curious. Have the Q always had had an absence of manners, or is it the result of some natural evolutionary process that comes with omnipotence?
- Seska: I won't play these games with the trick of light.
- The Doctor: Sticks and stones won't break my bones, so you can imagine how I feel about being called names.
- Kes: On my home-world it's much simpler. You choose a mate for life. There's no distrust, no envy, no betrayal.
- The Doctor: Your world must have very dry literature.
- [When attacked by a fleet of small ships]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: It's like being pecked to death by ducks.
- Seven of Nine: Two hours, thirty seven minutes, thirteen seconds.
- Tuvok: [puzzled look]
- Seven of Nine: That's how long we've gone without verbal communication.
- Tuvok: Why is that remarkable?
- Seven of Nine: The doctor encourages me to engage in conversation during awkward silences.
- Tuvok: Did you find the silence awkward?
- Seven of Nine: No.
- Tuvok: Nor did I.
- Tom Paris: But a hologram is just a projection of light held in a magnetic containment field, there's no real matter involved.
- [the holographic doctor slaps Tom]
- The Doctor: All of us have violent instincts. We have evolved from predators. Well, not me, of course. I've been programmed by you predators.
- Chakotay: You were working for her. She was working for them. Was anyone on that ship working for me?
- [the captain of a Federation time-travel ship is arrested]
- Lieutenant Ducane: I'm arresting you for crimes... you're going to commit.
- [20th century clothes]
- Captain Janeway: What will we need to pass as locals in this century?
- Tom Paris: Simple. Nice clothes, fast car, and LOTS of money.
- The Doctor: Small talk is a vital dating skill. It helps to establish a rapport with your companion.
- Seven of Nine: Perhaps there's something to be said for assimilation after all.
- The Doctor: Between impulse and action, there is a world of good taste begging for your acquaintance.
- Tom Paris: [while ordering tomato soup from a replicator in the Mess Hall Tom sees Harry at a table with the ship's original doctor and first officer Cavit and when he moves over to join them Cavit and the Doctor get up and leave] There, you see? I told you it wouldn't take long.
- Harry Kim: Is it true?
- Tom Paris: Was the accident my fault? Yes, pilot error. But it took me awhile to admit it.
- [Tom tries some of the soup but it tastes revolting]
- Tom Paris: Oh, 14 varieties and they can't even get plain tomato soup right.
- Harry Kim: [Harry steers the conversation back to the matter at hand] They said you falsified reports.
- Tom Paris: That's right.
- Harry Kim: Why?
- Tom Paris: What's the difference? I lied.
- Harry Kim: But then you came forward and you admitted that it was your fault?
- Tom Paris: I'll tell you the truth, Harry. All I had to do was keep my mouth shut and I was home free. But I couldn't. The ghosts of those three dead officers came to me in the middle of the night and taught me the true meaning of Christmas. So, I confessed. Worst mistake I ever made but not my last. After they cashiered me out of Starfleet I went out looking for a fight and found the Maquis. And on my first assignment, I was caught.
- Harry Kim: It must have been especially tough for you, being the son of an admiral.
- Tom Paris: Frankly, I think it was tougher on my father than it was on me.
- [Tom gets up to leave]
- Tom Paris: Look, I know those guys told you to stay away from me. And you know what? You oughta' listen to them. I'm not exactly a good luck charm.
- Harry Kim: I don't need anyone to choose my friends for me.
- Neelix: [broadcasting to the whole crew] Good morning, Voyager. I want to tell you about a friend of mine. I first met this man almost a year ago, and to tell you the truth, I didn't like him much. He seemed a little too cocky, little too sure of himself. A lot of people had questions about him. He'd proven he'd pretty much sell himself out to the highest bidder, go wherever the wind blew him. So, people wondered... could you trust this person when things got tough? Would he stand side by side with you, or would he let you down, when you needed him most? But the fact of the matter is - he proved himself right from the beginning. I wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for him... and the same goes for many of you. It took me a while to realise it. Like a lot of people, I was too caught up in first impressions to see the truth that was right in front of me. I overlooked his bravery because I was focusing on his brashness. I ignored his courage because I saw it as arrogance. And I resented his friendliness because I mistook it for licentiousness. So, while this man was giving us his best every minute of every day, I was busy judging him. And now, he's leaving. I'm proud to say that in spite of my narrow-mindedness, Thomas Eugene Paris became my friend. I'm gonna' miss him. No more laughs over a game of pool. No more sitting up into the wee hours swapping stories. No more complaints about my cooking. Goodbye, Tom. I think I speak for more of us than you might imagine when I say you're gonna leave an empty space when you go. I hope you find what you're looking for.
- Captain Janeway: Mr Kim, can you give me an estimate on repairing the dilithium matrix?
- Harry Kim: How does 72 hours sound?
- Captain Janeway: Like 24 hours too long.
