Someone To Watch Over Me (1999)

Robert Duncan McNeill: Ensign Tom Paris

Quotes 

• Neelix : [as Tomin lies in sick bay]  I thought synthehol wasn't supposed to have this effect on people.

  The Doctor : Most people. The enzyymes that break down synthehol aren't present in his bloodstream.

  Neelix : Can you counteract the effects?

  The Doctor : I can synthesize the enzymes, but that'll take days.

  Neelix : Days? The Captain will be back in the morning.

  Lt. Tom Paris : Maybe he needs a cold shower.

  Neelix : If his superiors find him like this, he'll be banished from the colony, and our trade agreement will go right out the airlock!

  Tomin : Oh, Seven of mine...

  Seven of Nine : It may be possible to encode some of my nanoprobes to assimilate the synthehol molecules.

  Tomin : Assimilate me!

• [Paris tells hologram jokes to amuse Tomin] 

  Tom Paris : How do you bend a hologram's ear? Use a prism. What did the councilor say to the hologram? "You're projecting!"

• Tom Paris : You're teaching Seven how to date? Ha! Talk about the blind leading the blind.

• Tom Paris : A hologram and a Borg? Stranger things have happened. Just look at me and B'Elanna.

• [the Doctor has taken Seven out to Ambassador Tomin's reception] 

  Tom Paris : Impressive. You're actually taught her to be polite, but don't think you've won our bet. She was supposed to bring a REAL date.

  The Doctor : Photons and force fields, flesh and blood - why quibble over details?

• Tomin : [shouting across the mess hall]  Ensign Paris, tell us another one of those hologram jokes!

  The Doctor : You've been stealing my material?

  Tom Paris : That guy's so lubricated, he'll laugh at anything.

• The Doctor : Are you implying that Seven couldn't get a date?

  Tom Paris : What, are you kidding? Half the men on this ship would jump at the chance; but, getting a date is one thing. Keeping it from turning into a disaster is another.

• Tom Paris : Put your latinum where your mouth is.
