• [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?

• [first lines] 

  [the Doctor belts out an aria at full volume; Captain Janeway enters, looking groggy and morose] 

  The Doctor : Captain. Computer, pause music. I didn't wake you, did I?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : That's all right, Doctor. Fifteen minutes of sleep is really all I need.

• The Doctor : [after being recaptured by Zet]  We had an agreement!

  Zet : [laughs]  To spare your captain. As you can see, she's still alive.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Let the Doctor go. I'm the more valuable hostage.

  Zet : Actually, you're not. We'll leave you in the Vinri system. The inhabitants are mostly harmless. The Doctor will be working for us now.

  The Doctor : I'll do no such thing!

  Zet : I'm sure you'll feel differently after I make a few adjustments to your program.

  Nar : I had no idea he was going to do this. I'm sorry.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I hope you realize you've stranded Voyager in the Delta Quadrant.

  The Doctor : What did you expect me to do, let them kill you?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I expected you to follow my orders.

  The Doctor : You might as well have been ordering me to put a phaser to your head. Voyager can survive without a warp core, but not without a captain.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Now it doesn't have either.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Captain's Log, Stardate 54912.4: Lieutenant Torres has restored our warp drive in less than a week. The Doctor's dignity, however, might take a little longer. He hasn't left Sick Bay once since he returned to the ship.

  The Doctor : [Janeway visits him in Sick Bay]  Captain... do you need medical attention?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : No. You've been keeping to yourself lately. Your friends are worried about you.

  The Doctor : After my deathbed confession, I wasn't sure I had any friends left. I overstepped my bounds in documenting your command decisions. It happened a long time ago, before I considered myself to be a part of your crew.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Oh, I'm not here to make you grovel. I'm here to punish you for your insubordinate behavior.

  The Doctor : I understand.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : You're herby denied the use of your mobile emitter for six days. Since you haven't left Sick Bay for a week, we'll call it time served.

  The Doctor : I appreciate the gesture, Captain, but I've got a lot of work to catch up on.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I'm sorry to hear that. I was hoping you might be free for a cup of coffee on the holodeck. I know a little sidewalk cafe in Buenos Aires. You said you wanted us to socialize more.

  The Doctor : I suppose Mr. Paris can finish this.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Now, when you're on the holodeck with the Captain, there are two rules you have to follow.

  The Doctor : I understand.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : First: leave your rank at the door.

  The Doctor : Not a problem. The second?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : No opera.

  The Doctor : Hmm.

• [Janeway and The Doctor are held captive by two ex-Hierarchy members] 

  The Doctor : I'm sorry I put us in this position, Captain.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : You said you wanted us to spend more time together.

  The Doctor : This isn't what I had in mind.

• [the Doctor's mobile emitter is reprogrammed, causing him to look like an alien] 

  The Doctor : I trust this won't be permanent.

• The Doctor : The aliens took my program offline as soon as they boarded the Flyer. The captain reactivated me a few hours later and told me she'd been interrogated. Naturally, I examined her to make sure she was all right.

  Chakotay : Did you find anything unusual?

  The Doctor : I suppose I'm violating doctor-patient confidentiality by telling you this but... she was fine.

• The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway : [after sedating Chakotay when he came too close to discovering his identity]  I can't do my job with the two of you constantly talking in my head.

  [adjusts his holo-emitter to transform back into his normal self] 

  The Doctor : No! I'm not doing anything else until I speak with the Captain! Fine! What's your encryption frequency? Captain, are you all right?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Doctor, listen to me. Under no circumstances are you to eject the warp core.

  The Doctor : If I don't do what they ask, they'll kill you.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I'm giving you a direct order. Stop what you're doing.

  The Doctor : I'm sorry, Captain. I can't obey that order.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Doctor, I want you to go to the Bridge right now and alert Commander Tuvok...

  Zet : Put her behind the force field! We have another assignment for you. I've been going over the schematics of your vessel, and I'm intrigued by this bio-neural circuitry. I want you to bring us a series of these gel packs.

  The Doctor : The gel packs are integrated into the ships systems. I can't just remove them without someone noticing.

  Zet : You've proven yourself to be very resourceful, Doctor. You'll find a way. Remember, we're monitoring your perceptual subroutines. We can see and hear everything.

  Lt. Tuvok : Tuvok to Chakotay.

  Zet : You know what'll happen to her if you alert your crew.

  The Doctor : [presses Chakotay's combadge] 

  [hoarse voice] 

  The Doctor : Go ahead.

  Lt. Tuvok : Are you all right, Commander?

  The Doctor : Uh, just a scratchy throat. The Doctor's treating me now.

  Lt. Tuvok : Could you come to the Shuttle Bay when you're finished?

  The Doctor : I'll be right there. Chakotay out.

  [normal voice] 

  The Doctor : Computer, access the holodeck database and locate Commander Chakotay's holographic template. Download the physical parameters into my program.

  [adjusts his holo-emitter to transform into Chakotay] 

• The Doctor : [in Janeway's voice]  Janeway to Torres.

  B'Elanna Torres : Torres here.

  The Doctor : I'm having a little trouble with my replicator again. Can you take a look at it?

  B'Elanna Torres : I'm still working on those modifications you asked for. I'll send somebody else.

  The Doctor : I'd consider it a personal favor if you do it yourself, Lieutenant.

  B'Elanna Torres : I'll be there in five minutes.

  The Doctor : Thank you. Janeway out.

  [normal voice] 

  The Doctor : Computer, access Lieutenant Torres' holographic template and download the physical parameters into my program.

  [adjusts his holo-emitter to transform into Torres] 

  The Doctor, as B'Elanna Torres : [notices the Torres hologram is missing the baby bump]  Computer, access medical file: Torres-3 and update her holographic template.

  [the baby bump appears]
