- Seven of Nine: Holodecks are a pointless endeavor, fulfilling some human need to fantasize. I have no such need.
- The Doctor: What you need is some editorial skill in your self-expression. Between impulse and action, there is a realm of good taste begging for your acquaintance.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: We've come 15,000 light years. We haven't been stopped by temporal anomalies, warp core breaches or hostile aliens, and I am damned if I'm gonna be stopped by a nebula!
- The Doctor: If the mobile emitter goes offline while I'm out of sickbay, my program may be irretrievable.
- Seven of Nine: Don't panic. It's counterproductive.
- The Doctor: That's easy for you to say. You're not facing cybernetic oblivion!
- Borg Drone: Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01. You have left the Collective. It was a foolish decision. Now you are alone. You have lost the many. You are only one. You've become human, weak, pathetic. Humans do not have our strength. They are imperfect. Now you are imperfect as well.
- Seven of Nine: No.
- Borg Drone: You will not survive. You cannot survive without the Collective.
- Seven of Nine: I will adapt.
- Borg Drone: By becoming weaker, less perfect.
- Seven of Nine: I will adapt as an individual.
- Borg Drone: One. One alone. A Borg cannot be one.
- Seven of Nine: I will become stronger.
- Borg Drone: A Borg cannot be one. She will die as one.
- [last lines]
- Tom Paris: Just think - we could have died in those coffins.
- Seven of Nine: I suspect you would have found a way out before that, Lieutenant.
- Harry Kim: What do you mean?
- Seven of Nine: Lieutenant Paris refused to stay confined. On four separate occasions, the Doctor and I had to put him back into his stasis unit.
- Harry Kim: Were you, um... locked in dark closets or something as a child?
- Tom Paris: I just don't like closed places. I never have, I-I don't know why.
- Seven of Nine: Perhaps you dislike being alone.
- [the Doctor tries unsuccessfully to teach Seven manners in social activities]
- Seven of Nine: I believe I am overdue for my weekly medical maintenance. We should go.
- The Doctor: Seven, you've never volunteered for a check-up before.
- Seven of Nine: It is preferable to remaining here.
- The Doctor: [when finding Paris outside his stasis unit] Leave it to Mr. Paris to be just as much trouble now as when he's awake.
- Seven of Nine: You knew this might happen. Why complain about it?
- The Doctor: If you had even the slightest sense of humor, you'd realize I was making a small joke.
- Seven of Nine: Very small.
- Harry Kim: Neelix, this soup is great. What is it?
- Neelix: It's my secret recipe. I've never told anyone what's in it.
- Tom Paris: Why does that make me nervous?
- B'Elanna Torres: Oh, come on, Tom, where's your sense of adventure?
- Tom Paris: Not in my stomach.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [referring to the Doctor] He tells us you've had quite an adventure.
- Seven of Nine: It was... interesting.
- Chakotay: But my concern isn't about going into stasis. It's about who you're leaving in charge.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: You're worried about Seven.
- Chakotay: Maybe you need to step outside yourself for a minute, look at the fact that here's someone who's butted horns with you from the moment she came on board, who disregards authority and actively disobeys orders when she doesn't agree with them.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: And this is the person I'm giving responsibility for the lives of this entire crew. I suppose you want me to tell you I'm not crazy.
- Chakotay: In a nutshell.
- Borg Collective: Seven of Nine. Resistance is futile.
- The Doctor: You've been getting more irritable and short-tempered with each passing day.
- Seven of Nine: So have you.
- The Doctor: That's only because I'm having to put up with you!
