- [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?
- Nar: [after knocking Zet down with one of his collected engine components] Guess this wasn't so useless after all.
- [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.
- [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.
- [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.
- Lt. Tuvok: [bumps into the Doctor, disguised as Torres, in the hallway] Lieutenant.
- The Doctor, as B'Elanna Torres: [trying to mislead Tuvok] I think the Doctor's heading for the escape pods.
- [Tuvok puts his tricorder away and points his phaser at the Doctor]
- The Doctor, as B'Elanna Torres: You wouldn't shoot a pregnant woman, would you?
- Lt. Tuvok: Come with me, Doctor.
- [the Doctor jumps off the wall, grabs Tuvok's phaser, and stuns him]
- 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.
- Chakotay: Computer, locate Captain Janeway.
- The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway: Computer, belay that. My quarters, now. Really, Chakotay, sending the Doctor to check up on me?
- Chakotay: I'm concerned.
- The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway: Then why didn't you come to me directly? I thought we trusted each other.
- Chakotay: So did I. Something happened on that away mission that you're not telling me.
- The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway: I've told you everything you need to know.
- Chakotay: You've consulted me on every major decision over the last seven years except this one. Why?
- The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway: There are some decisions a captain has to make on her own.
- Chakotay: I understand that, but every instinct tells me what you're doing is wrong. Don't you remember what happened on Lessek Prime?
- The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway: I don't see how that's relevant.
- Chakotay: I think you do. Fifteen years ago, you were the lieutenant who was kept in the dark. If you hadn't questioned your captain's orders, the entire away team would've been lost.
- The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway: This situation's entirely different.
- Chakotay: You never told me that story. I made it up.
- [presses his combadge]
- Chakotay: Chakotay to Tuvok.
- The Doctor, as Capt. Kathryn Janeway: I've erected a dampening filed around these quarters. I'm sorry, Commander.
- [the Doctor sedates Chakotay]
- Ensign Harry Kim: Whoever sent this transmission knew how to cover his tracks. The holodeck logs have been erased.
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: Doesn't look like we'll get any answers here.
- Ensign Harry Kim: I might be able to find some residual photonic displacement.
- [a blurry holographic image appears]
- Ensign Harry Kim: There we go. I think I can clarify the image with a recursive algorithm.
- [isolates the alien hologram The Doctor created]
- Ensign Harry Kim: Our alien's a hologram. The question is, who programmed him?
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: Good work, Ensign. I'll take it from here.
- Ensign Harry Kim: Wait a minute. I'm picking up two holographic signatures. It looks like a second image was superimposed over an existing template. I'll see if I can isolate the first image.
- [the Doctor sedates Kim]
- 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]
- 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]
- Ensign Harry Kim: Kim to Chakotay. Can you come to Astrometrics?
- The Doctor, as B'Elanna Torres: [in Chakotay's voice] Harry, I'll be right there. Chakotay out.
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: You wanted to see me?
- Lt. Tuvok: I've completed the diagnostic as you requested. The Flyer's com system is functioning normally.
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: You find that unusual?
- Lt. Tuvok: The Captain did report that it was damaged during the attack by the R'Kaal.
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: I'll have a talk with her. Did you find anything else out of the ordinary?
- Lt. Tuvok: No.
- Zet: Get out of there before you arouse suspicion.
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: I'll be on the Bridge if you need me.
- 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]
- Ensign Harry Kim: [about the R'Kaal transmission they received earlier] The transmission was encoded with a false subspace signature.
- Seven of Nine: The signal didn't originate on another vessel. It came from inside Voyager.
- Ensign Harry Kim: We traced it to Holodeck 2.
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: Do you know who sent it?
- Ensign Harry Kim: I'm on my way to check the access logs.
- The Doctor, as Cmdr. Chakotay: I'll go with you.
- Lt. Tuvok: [after the Doctor escaped with the warp core] It is logical to assume the Captain never returned from the away mission.
- Chakotay: Do you have any idea where the Flyer is?
- Lt. Tuvok: The Doctor masked his ion trail.
- B'Elanna Torres: Engineering to Chakotay.
- Chakotay: Go ahead.
- B'Elanna Torres: We're ready to restart the impulse reactors.
- Chakotay: Acknowledged.
- [Engineering restores power and a discordant version of The Blue Danube starts playing all over the ship]
- Lt. Tuvok: It's playing on every com channel on the ship.
- Chakotay: Computer, pause music.
- Voyager Computer: Unable to comply.
- Chakotay: Didn't the Doctor play this at his recital last month?
- Lt. Tuvok: Yes, and as I recall, he performed the piece flawlessly.
- Chakotay: Maybe the recording was damaged by the power loss.
- Lt. Tuvok: Or perhaps the Doctor altered the music deliberately.
- Chakotay: Why would he do that?
