Roxann Dawson: Lt. B'Elanna Torres

Quotes 

• Chakotay : If there's an intelligent species down there, we'll be able to track their development, not just for days or weeks, but for centuries.

  B'Elanna Torres : Watch them discover new and better ways of beating each other over the head.

  Chakotay : They won't necessarily follow the Klingon model.

  B'Elanna Torres : As opposed to the human model?

• [Chakotay asks Torres to send a probe out in order to study the planet's development] 

  B'Elanna Torres : It'll take a few hours to make the adjustments.

  Chakotay : A few hours? We might miss the rise and fall of a civilization.

  B'Elanna Torres : So we'll watch the next one.

• [the Doctor is being prepared to go to the planet's surface] 

  B'Elanna Torres : I'm giving you access to your facial and epidermal parameters. You should be able to mimic the appearance of whoever's down there in a matter of seconds.

  The Doctor : What if they're big purple blobs of protoplasm?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Then you'll be the best-looking blob on the planet.

• The Doctor : [realizing he's been beamed back aboard the ship]  Captain! Lieutenant!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [the Doctor gives Janeway a HUGE hug]  OOF!

  The Doctor : I thought I'd never see you again!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Are you all right?

  The Doctor : I've had a few close calls over the years, but all in all...

  B'Elanna Torres : Years?

  The Doctor : It's been over three. But at least I knew you hadn't left me behind. All I had to do was look up, and there you were, the brightest star in the sky.
