Quotes 

• Clown : How am I supposed to negotiate if I don't know what you're thinking?

  The Doctor : I have a very trustworthy face.

• Clown : Well, you certainly know how to bring a party to a halt.

  The Doctor : I don't get out very much.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Isn't there more to fear than a simple demand to exist? Why do people enjoy dangerous sports, or holodeck adventures with the safety off? Why, after all these centuries, do children still ride on rollercoasters?

  The Doctor : Fear can provide pleasure. To seek fear is to seek the boundaries of one's sensory experience.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : But what does fear seek... at the end of the ride?

• Clown : [of Janeway]  Who is SHE to tell me what I have to do?

  The Doctor : She's the one out there with the off switch in her hand.

• Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : There is no way an artificial intelligence can replace actual brain functions.

  The Doctor : I'll choose not to take that personally, Lieutenant.
