- Harry Kim: I'm still feeling kinda queasy from that nectar.
- The Doctor: I treated you days ago!
- Harry Kim: Whatever you did hasn't worked. Maybe all those command subroutines are compromising your medical abilities.
- The Doctor: Maybe all that sarcasm is compromising your natural charm.
- Harry Kim: In six years, I've never been on an away mission worse than this one.
- Neelix: I don't know how you can say that. The cargo hold is crammed with valuable supplies.
- Harry Kim: And my stomach is crammed with alien parasites, doing backflips.
- Neelix: I guess you shouldn't have drunk that Falah nectar.
- Harry Kim: You insisted I try it!
- Neelix: Uh... The Nar Shaddan consider it a delicacy. To refuse would have insulted them.
- Harry Kim: I didn't hear you insisting that Commander Chakotay try it.
- Neelix: Commander Chakotay's a vegetarian.
- Harry Kim: [aghast] It was made from meat?
- Neelix: More like a meat by-product.
- Harry Kim: [groans] I'm gonna be sick.
- Neelix: Not after you drink this.
- Harry Kim: [accepting a glass] What is it?
- Neelix: Leola bark tea, to settle even the queasiest of stomachs.
- Harry Kim: [sniffs] Ugh! It smells worse than the meat nectar! I'll wait for the Doctor to treat me.
- The Doctor: [to Chakotay] I assumed *I'd* be in charge during your absence, Commander!
- Harry Kim: 'scuse me?
- The Doctor: [to Kim] An Emergency Command Hologram, programmed with over two million tactical subroutines, outranks an ensign.
- Harry Kim: A few words to the computer, and this ensign can delete those subroutines.
- The Doctor: Then you'd be depriving yourself of a skilled leader for the sake of your ego.
- Harry Kim: Hah, *my* ego?
- Chakotay: Gentlemen! Work it out.
- The Doctor, Harry Kim: Aye, sir.
- [Jaffen is telling his co-workers an anecdote]
- Jaffen: ...all of them about my father, and he couldn't understand why I wasn't insulted. Finally, I just had to tell him: "I'm Norvalen. I don't have a father!"
- [Tuvok bursts out laughing]
- Jaffen: It wasn't *that* funny, Tuvok.
- Tuvok: [laughing] On the contrary! The man was ignorant of how your species procreates. His attempt to disparage you ultimately humiliated him. Irony is often a source of humor.
- Jaffen: Yes, well, when you explain it like that... it's not funny at all.
- Tom Paris: I had a disagreement with the new Efficiency Monitor. She didn't think my work was very...
- Umali: Efficient?
- Tom Paris: Exactly.
- Umali: Then why should I hire you?
- Tom Paris: Well, there's my natural charm and personality. They'd be a real asset around a place like this where you're trying to attract patrons. I mean, look at you. You haven't been able to tear yourself away from me.
- Umali: There's no one else here.
- [the majority of Voyager's crew has been brainwashed, not recognizing each other as who they really are]
- Tom Paris: Well, then, maybe we could get together during the day sometime, take a walk by the river.
- B'Elanna Torres: [getting up] I don't think so.
- Tom Paris: Why not? I am a very engaging conversationalist...
- Tom Paris: [notices B'Elanna's bulging belly] Oh.
- B'Elanna Torres: Yeah. Still wanna get together?
- Tom Paris: You're married.
- B'Elanna Torres: No.
- Tom Paris: Oh.
- B'Elanna Torres: Enjoy your day.
- [smiles smugly and leaves]
- [Janeway accidentally enters a wrong code and triggers an alarm]
- Quarren Computer: Input Error 4-1-5. Command code violation 2-3-0-8.
- Kathryn Janeway: [to the console] Come on, shut off that damn alarm and I promise I'll never violate you again.
- Jaffen: I overheard you talking to your console.
- Kathryn Janeway: It's an old habit.
- Jaffen: Does it work?
- Kathryn Janeway: I'm not sure this control panel and I speak the same language yet.
- The Doctor: [attempting repairs] Reinitialize the subspace transponder.
- Voyager Computer: [bleeps] Warning. Main computer is failing.
- The Doctor: Switch to backup processors.
- Voyager Computer: Main computer stabilized.
- The Doctor: Good. Now, let's try this again. Reinitialize the subspace transponder.
- Voyager Computer: Unable to comply.
- The Doctor: Why not?
- Voyager Computer: Insufficient power.
- The Doctor: And they say *I'm* difficult.
- The Doctor: I've repaired the deuterium injectors, brought secondary propulsion back online, and soothed Ensign Kim's upset tummy.
- Chakotay: Good work.
- [Janeway has been conditioned to believe she's a technician on an industrial planet]
- Supervisor: Let me know if there's anything you need. You'll find we like to keep our workforce happy.
- Kathryn Janeway: I can already tell it's going to be much better than my last job.
- B'Elanna Torres: Look, it's rare that I admit I'm wrong, so you might a well take advantage of it while you can.
- Seven of Nine: This station doesn't require two operators.
- Jaffen: I don't think we've met. I' m...
- Seven of Nine: Employee 1326.
- Seven of Nine: [to Janeway] And you're Employee 8584. Since you're new here you may not be fully familiar with the labor protocols...
- Seven of Nine: [to Jaffen] ... but you should be aware that fraternizing is not permitted during work hours.
- Jaffen: And do you have a number, or maybe a name?
- Seven of Nine, Jaffen: Annika Hansen.
- Jaffen: And what exactly is your position here?
- Seven of Nine: I'm the new Efficiency Monitor.
- Jaffen: Oh, I, uh, didn't know they'd hired one.
- Seven of Nine: Now that you do, I suggest you return to your station.
- The Doctor: We're trying to find our friends.
- Quarren Ambassador: Most of your friends have excellent positions in the Central Power Facility in the capitol. Why would any of them want to travel thousands of light-years to a planet on the other side of the galaxy when they have safe, comfortable lives right here?
- Chakotay: Because it isn't their home.
- Quarren Ambassador: I suggest you look elsewhere to increase your labor supply.
