| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
At ease, Mr. Kim, before you sprain something. |
| Lieutenant Stadi |
|
Do you always fly at women at warp speed? |
| Tom Paris |
|
Only when they're in visual range. |
| Harry Kim |
|
Captain, there's something out there! |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
I need a better description than that, Mr. Kim! |
| Tom Paris |
|
If we don't get more power to the warp drive, we're going to have to get out and push. |
| The Doctor |
|
Don't worry, I'm not going to kiss you, I'm only adjusting the restraint. |
| Neelix |
|
I'll try to contain my disappointment. |
| The Doctor |
|
Missing! The captain is missing! It seems I've found myself on the voyage of the damned. |
| The Doctor |
|
She is the healthiest member of her species I have ever seen. She is the only member of her species I have ever seen. You have a lovely brain. It will make a fine addition to our files. |
| The Doctor |
|
I'm a doctor, Mr. Neelix, not a decorator. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
There's coffee in that nebula. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
I need to know if we did serious harm to that life-form. |
| The Doctor |
|
Let's see ... you ran your ship through it, fired phasers at it, and blew a hole in it with a photon torpedo. I'd say it's a pretty good chance that you did some fairly significant... |
| Seska |
|
Federation rules. Federation nobility. Federation compassion? Do you understand that if we were on a Cardassian ship we'd be home now! |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
I don't like bullies, I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Cullah. |
| Freya |
|
Your people must value you greatly. |
| The Doctor |
|
You would think so. |
| Dr. Ma'Bor Jetrel |
|
There is no way I can apologize to you, Mr. Neelix. That is why I have not tried. |
| B'Elanna Torres |
|
Get the cheese to sickbay - the Doctor should look at it as soon as possible! |
| Tom Paris |
|
Captain, I think I should tell you I've never actually landed a starship before. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
That's all right, Lieutenant, neither have I. |
| The Doctor |
|
How many times do I have to tell you, Madam? I'm a Doctor, not a bartender. |
| The Doctor |
|
I'm a doctor, not a voyeur. |
| Tom Paris |
|
Keep a lock on us, Voyager. If you hear muffled screams, consider that a request for a beam-out. |
| Tom Paris |
|
The ship might make it without inertial dampers, but we'd all just be stains on the back wall. |
| The Doctor |
|
I shouldn't have to remind you ... I'm a doctor... |
| B'Elanna Torres |
|
...not an engineer. Right. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
Can you wake him? |
| The Doctor |
|
I believe so. WAKE UP, LIEUTENANT!! |
| The Doctor |
|
All of us have violent instincts. We have evolved from predators ... Well, not me, of course. I've just been programmed by you predators. |
| Neelix |
|
Rabbit? She never told me she likes rabbit. What is a rabbit anyway? Is this some new chef she's interviewing? |
| Q |
|
Say, is this a ship of the Valkyries? Or have you human women finally done away with your men altogether? |
| Tuvok |
|
I am curious: have the Q always had an absence of manners, or is it the result of some natural evolutionary process that comes with omnipotence? |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
In a way, this child belongs to all of us. It is the first baby born on Voyager. I'm just not sure whether I should be welcoming it on board or apologizing... Voyager isn't exactly anyone's idea of a nursery and the Delta Quadrant isn't much of a playground. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
Mr. Kim, we're Starfleet officers. Weird is part of the job. |
| Seska |
|
You're more talented in the art of deception than you led me to believe. |
| The Doctor |
|
I was inspired by the presence of a master. |
| The Doctor |
|
Sticks and stones won't break my bones, so you can imagine how I feel about being called names. |
| The Doctor |
|
What am I supposed to do? Lead a revolt with a gang from Sandrine's? Conjure up holograms of Nathan Hale and Che Guevara? I'm a doctor, not a counter-insurgent...maybe I could access a tactical database, teach myself guerrilla warfare. |
| The Doctor |
|
One hologram and one sociopath may not be much of a match for the Kazon, but it will have to do... |
| Chakotay |
|
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. |
| Tuvok |
|
Structure, logic, function, control. A structure cannot stand without a foundation. Logic is the foundation of function. Function is the essence of control. I-am-in-control. I am in control. |
| Tuvok |
|
Would it affect your decision if I pointed out that encroaching on a territory of an alien species is prohibited by Starfleet regulations? |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
No, it wouldn't. |
| Tuvok |
|
Captain, you have managed to surprise me. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
We're a long way from Starfleet, Lieutenant. I'm not about to waste 15 months because we've been run into a bunch of bullies. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
We have to out-Ferengi the Ferengi. |
| Q |
|
I know that you're probably asking yourself: why would a brilliant, handsome, dashingly omnipotent being like Q want to mate with a scrawny little bipedal specimen like me? |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
Let me guess; no one else in the universe will have you? |
| Q |
|
Nonsense! I could have chosen a Klingon Targ, a Romulan empress, a Cerelian microbe... |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
Really?! I beat out a single cell organism?! How flattering. |
| Q |
|
Admit it, it has been a while... |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
And it's going to be a while longer! |
| Chakotay |
|
There's got to be some way to get back to the Continuum besides snapping your fingers. |
| Female Q | Hm. Well, there is one possibility, but somehow I don't think this rickety barge or your half-witted crewmembers are up to the challenge. | |
| Tuvok |
|
May I remind you, madam, that this "rickety barge" and its "half-witted" crew is your only hope at the moment. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
Go back to hell, coward. |
| The Doctor |
|
You're in perfect physical shape, Mr. Paris. You may go ahead and engage in this reckless activity. |
| The Borg | We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is fu... |
| Chakotay |
|
There's a story I heard as a child, a parable... I never forgot it... A scorpion was walking along the bank of a river, wondering how to get to the other side... when suddenly he saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him on his back across the river. The fox said no... I'll get halfway there, and you'll sting me, and I'll drown. But the scorpion assured him... if I did that, we'd both drown. The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion climbed up on his back, and the fox began to swim... But halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the fox. As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said why did you do that? Now you'll drown, too. I couldn't help it, said the scorpion. It's my nature. |
| Seven of Nine |
|
I speak for the Borg. |
| B'Elanna Torres |
|
I have to tell you the truth. I...I love you. |
| B'Elanna Torres |
|
Say something. |
| Tom Paris |
|
Well, you've picked a great time to tell me. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
I never realized you thought of me as reckless, Tuvok. |
| Tuvok |
|
A poor choice of words. It was clearly an understatement. |
| Seven of Nine |
|
Your chief engineer and security officer were nearly lost today. That is unacceptable. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
To you, maybe. But not to me or my crew. Our experience with the Mari gave us an insight into a culture we've never encountered. |
| Seven of Nine |
|
But that is irrelevant. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
No, it's how we gain knowledge. |
| The Doctor |
|
Fortunately, the Mari didn't get very far with the procedure. You can return to duty, Lieutenant. Though, perhaps, with one or two fewer violent engrams in that fiery head of yours. |
| B'Elanna Torres |
|
It's alright, Doc. There plenty more where those came from. |
| The Doctor |
|
Duly warned. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
No matter how vast the differences may be between cultures, people always have something that somebody else wants and trade is born. |
| The Doctor |
|
Computer, display the design schematics of this ship, and list general specifications. |
| Computer | USS Prometheus, experimental prototype designed for deep-space tactical assignments. Primary battle systems include regenerative shielding, ablative hull armor, multi-vector assault mode. | |
| The Doctor |
|
Multi-vector assault mode? Describe. |
| Computer | Access to tactical data requires level 4 clearance. | |
| The Doctor |
|
What can you show me at MY clearance level!? |
| The Doctor |
|
Computer, can I access this ship's EMH program... or do I need some kind of clearance for THAT, too? |
| The Doctor |
|
Stop breathing down my neck. |
| EMH Mark II | My breathing is merely a simulation. | |
| The Doctor |
|
So is my neck; stop it anyway! |
| The Doctor |
|
You hit the wrong ship! |
| EMH Mark II | It wasn't my fault. | |
| The Doctor |
|
Then whose fault was it, the torpedo's? You're supposed to tell it what to do! |
| EMH Mark II | My beautiful existence cut short. No time to explore the universe, no time to smell the roses... no time for... sex. |
| EMH Mark II | Doctor, some...thing just went offline! | |
| The Doctor |
|
Specifically? |
| EMH Mark II | The secondary gyrodyne relays of the propulsion field intermatrix have depolarized! | |
| The Doctor |
|
In ENGLISH! |
| EMH Mark II | I am just reading what it says here! |
| Seven of Nine |
|
I believe I have found a way to stabilize the omega molecule. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
I don't care if you can make it sing and dance, we are going to destroy it. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
I can tell you this: One of two things is going to happen... either Seven and I will succeed on our mission, and return within a few days... or your long-range sensors will detect a large explosion in subspace. If that occurs, you'll have less than ten seconds to jump to warp, and get the hell out of here. Head for the Alpha Quadrant and don't look back. Understood? |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
Have you encountered his species before? |
| Seven of Nine |
|
Species 116. |
| Arturis | Is that what you call us? | |
| Seven of Nine |
|
The Borg has never been able to assimilate them. Not yet. |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
Seven! |
| Arturis | You negotiated an agreement with the Borg Collective! Safe passage through their space! And in return, you helped them defeat one of their enemies. | |
| Seven of Nine |
|
Species 8472. |
| Arturis | In your colorful language, yes, species 8472! |
| Captain Kathryn Janeway |
|
In case I never get a chance to say this; I realize that I've been hard on you at times. But it was never out of anger, or regret that I brought you on board. I'm your Captain. That means I can't always be a friend. Understand? |
| Seven of Nine |
|
No. However, if we are assimilated, our thoughts will become one, and I'm sure I will understand perfectly. |
| Seven of Nine |
|
A joke, Captain. You yourself have encouraged me to use my sense of humor. |
