- Dr. Danara Pel: Before I met you, I was just a disease, but now, everything's different. When people look at me, they don't see a disease anymore. They see a woman - a woman you made, a woman you love, a woman you're not afraid to touch.
- The Doctor: Danara, I was never afraid to touch you.
- Dr. Danara Pel: Why? Because you're a doctor?
- The Doctor: Because I love you.
- The Doctor: Mr. Paris, I assume you've had a great deal of experience being rejected by women.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Oh, thanks a lot, Doc.
- The Doctor: You said before you knew me... that you were just a disease. Well, before you, I was just a projection of photons held together by force fields, a computerized physician, doing a job - doing it exceptionally well, of course but, still, it was... just a profession, not a life; but, now that you're here, and my programming has adapted, I'm not just working anymore. I'm living, learning what it means... to be with someone, to love someone. I don't think I can go back to the way things were either. Danara, please... don't die.
- Dr. Danara Pel: Sometimes I think my people spend so much time trying to save lives, they don't know how to live anymore.
- [the Doctor has shooed off Neelix and the Gigolo]
- The Doctor: I apologize.
- Dr. Danara Pel: No. They were just being nice.
- The Doctor: Irritating, isn't it?
- The Doctor: My program was developed by Dr. Lewis Zimmerman in a lab on Jupiter Station; I was activated on stardate 48308. Since that time I've performed 347 medical exams, healed eleven compound fractures, performed three appendectomies, and, in my greatest feat of medical prowess, I once cured Mr. Neelix of an acute case of the hiccups.
- The Doctor: I'm used to being in control of my faculties, confident with my decisions, but lately, whenever Danara's program is deactivated and I should be concentrating on my work, I find myself thinking of nothing but her.
- Kes: Why don't you reactivate her?
- The Doctor: Because whenever I do that, I suddenly feel... unsettled, unsure of myself, and I have no idea what to say. Why would people seek out situations which induce such unpleasant symptoms?
- Kes: Because when the other person feels the same way you do, it's the most wonderful thing in life.
- The Doctor: By the way, Danara, I've been meaning to tell you.
- Dr. Danara Pel: Yes?
- The Doctor: I'm romantically attracted to you and wanted to know if you felt the same way.
- [the Doctor is upset because someone has given Danara's body lethal nytoxinol]
- The Doctor: We have to find out who's trying to obstruct your recovery.
- Dr. Danara Pel: *I* administered the nytoxinol.
- The Doctor: Didn't you know it would kill you?
- Dr. Danara Pel: You mean kill her.
- The Doctor: She *is* you!
- Dr. Danara Pel: *Was* me. I don't ever want to be her again!
- Dr. Danara Pel: You have given me the most extraordinary gift that anyone has ever given me. You... you brought me to this ship, where no one is sick and, and people are friendly. You've made me healthy, and beautiful. I don't wanna go back to the way things were!
- Dr. Danara Pel: Where are we exactly?
- The Doctor: On a planet called Mars, inside a primitive, land-based vehicle. It's called a '57 Chevy. Mr. Paris is quite an automobile aficionado. This is his program.
- Dr. Danara Pel: What is it that we're supposed to be doing?
- The Doctor: I believe it's called... parking.
- Dr. Danara Pel: You are a computer simulation?
- The Doctor: An incredibly sophisticated computer simulation.
- Kes: Denara, I can't pretend to know what your life's been like, but I do know there's nothing sadder than a missed opportunity.
- Dr. Danara Pel: I think it's best if we keep our relationship... professional.
- The Doctor: Well... I'm going to... try stimulating the posterior sciatic nerve.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: I still have nightmares about what those people did to me, and now you want to crack open my head, cut out a piece of my brain, and give it to her?
- Commander Chakotay: Captain.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Is there something wrong?
- Commander Chakotay: I wanted to talk to you about Lt. Paris. His attitude lately's been less than professional.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I've noticed.
- Commander Chakotay: I know crew discipline's my responsibility, but in this case I thought I should let you get involved before I took any action. In a way, Paris has been your personal reclamation project.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I appreciate your bringing this to my attention, Commander, but... I trust you to handle the problem any way you see fit.
- The Doctor: Don't your people have recreational facilities?
- Dr. Danara Pel: Congregating in groups is strictly regulated. It's considered to be a threat to public health.
- Dr. Danara Pel: You're very funny.
- The Doctor: I am? Well, several clinical studies have shown humor to be very therapeutic. Consider it part of your treatment.
