Quotes 

• [the Doctor thinks his program is about to break down] 

  The Doctor : [to Janeway]  I've had something on my conscience for a long time. After I was first activated, I kept a record of what I considered to be your most... questionable command decisions. It's in my personal database. I hope you'll delete the file without reading it.

  The Doctor : [to Tuvok]  Mr. Tuvok. I violated the most sacred trust between a physician and his patient. I told Mr. Neelix about the cutaneous eruption you developed on your...

  [looks furtively around, realizing everyone else is listening] 

  The Doctor : That was indiscreet. I hope you can forgive me.

  The Doctor : [to Kim]  Ensign. At your recital last month, I told Lieutenant Torres that your saxophone playing reminded me of a wounded targ. I should have put it more delicately! I'm sorry!

  The Doctor : [pushing Kim aside]  Seven.

  Seven of Nine : You should remain still.

  The Doctor : You have no idea how difficult it's been, hiding my true feelings all these years, averting my eyes during your regular maintenance exams.

  [the Doctor's holomatrix starts to glitch] 

  The Doctor : [falling on his knees]  I know you could never have the same feelings for me, but I want you to know the truth. I love you, Seven.

  [his program glitches again] 

  Seven of Nine : Your cognitive algorithms are malfunctioning.

  The Doctor : [stands up and waves the others goodbye]  Goodbye, my friends! Speak well of me!

  [the Doctor disappears] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Is he...?

  B'Elanna Torres : No, I've got him.

  [the Doctor reappears, with his hand still held up] 

  The Doctor : What happened?

  B'Elanna Torres : I deleted the extraneous subroutines.

  The Doctor : I'm not going to decompile?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [dourly]  You'll probably outlive us all.

  [hands him back his mobile emitter] 

  Tom Paris : Doc... anything... else you'd like to confess?

• [the Doctor has taken on the appearance of B'Elanna, when Tom shows up with a covered tray] 

  Tom Paris : Well, I thought since you didn't have time for lunch under the stars, maybe you'd settle for the glow of the warp core.

  The Doctor, as B'Elanna Torres : How thoughtful, but I'm... not hungry.

  Tom Paris : Well, I'm sure the baby is famished.

  [removes the cover from the tray to reveal a pile of chicken drumsticks] 

  The Doctor, as B'Elanna Torres : A pregnant woman shouldn't eat this kind of food! Do you want to give me an arterial occlusion?

  Tom Paris : [scoffs]  One drumstick isn't gonna kill you. Besides, I won't tell the Doctor - if you won't.

• Seven of Nine : I performed a Fourier analysis on the recording. The harmonics have been modified.

  Ensign Harry Kim : It could be a com frequency.

  Seven of Nine : Unlikely. There's no carrier wave.

  Tom Paris : I could be wrong but... it looks like a warp signature.

  Ensign Harry Kim : The power utilization curve would be about right.

  Chakotay : Try scanning for it.

  Seven of Nine : I'm detecting a matching signature. Distance: 6.7 light-years.

  Lt. Tuvok : We can't follow them at impulse.

  Chakotay : You and Tom take a shuttle.

  [Paris and Tuvok leave]
