- Lidele Ren: Are you married?
- Lieutenant Tuvok: My wife and I have been married for 67 years.
- Lidele Ren: I'm sure she's a fine, dispassionate woman.
- Capt. Kathryn Janeway: Based on your experience, what can we expect the Numiri to do to intimidate us?
- Neelix: To be honest - whenever I saw the Numiri coming, I always left before the intimidation began!
- [guffaws]
- [Chakotay is using a Maquis tactic to escape the Numiri]
- Capt. Kathryn Janeway: Not to belittle Maquis tactics, Commander, but this is a very old trick.
- Commander Chakotay: It worked against those Starfleet runabouts.
- Capt. Kathryn Janeway: You're lucky *I* wasn't commanding one of them.
- Commander Chakotay: Besides, out here in the Delta Quadrant every old trick is new again.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Smoking is a bad habit. My species gave it up centuries ago, when we finally got it into our heads it was killing us.
- Lidele Ren: You must be a very superior species.
- [Voyager is attacked by Numiri ships]
- Neelix: Well, at least now you know I was telling the truth about them, Captain. Although I take no pleasure in being right, mind you.
- [the Doctor is considering several names to choose as his own]
- Kes: Take your time. After all, you will *be* that name for the rest of your life.
- The Doctor: Hm... I never even considered that I *had* a life.
- [last lines]
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: How come I always see you down here eating alone, Lieutenant?
- Lieutenant Tuvok: I prefer to read, rather than engage in... what do Humans call it? Short talk?
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Close enough. You don't make many friends that way.
- Lieutenant Tuvok: Perhaps.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Well... like it or not, you've made one today, Mr. Tuvok.
- Banean Doctor: For the rest of his natural life, once every fourteen hours, Thomas Eugene Paris will relive the last moments of his victim's life. May the fates have mercy on you, sir.
- Capt. Kathryn Janeway: [after Voyager has successfully disabled the Numiri ships] That's one trick you won't be able to use again when we get back.
- Commander Chakotay: I have more.
- Ensign Harry Kim: [referring to Lidele] If it had been me, I would have stayed as far away from her as possible.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Someday it *will* be you, Harry. You'll meet her; and you'll know it's wrong from the first moment you see her; you'll know there's nothing you can do about it.
- [Kim peers at Paris after the latter has been ogling at Lidele]
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: What're you looking at?
- Ensign Harry Kim: Not the same thing that you're looking at, that's for sure.
- [Lidele's dog barks at Paris]
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: What're *you* looking at?
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: There are some who'd say you risked my future on the eyewitness identification of a dog.
- Lidele Ren: He lied to me, Tom. No one was supposed to get hurt. You know I could never do anything to hurt you.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Yeah - you could.
- [first lines]
- Banean Doctor: What do you see, Mr. Paris?
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Shoes... muddy shoes... The dog...
- Banean Doctor: Good. That's exactly what you should see.
- Lidele Ren: [about her husband] He's a good man. I would never do anything to hurt him.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: I guess... that makes you a good woman.
- Lidele Ren: Good can get very... boring.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Hey Tuvok, I know it's a little late to ask, but you're sure you've got the logic of this thing worked out?
- Lieutenant Tuvok: If I am incorrect, we will know it shortly.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Ah. That makes me feel a whole lot better.
