- B'Elanna Torres: [crew raises coffee mugs] To distant friends.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Hear, hear.
- Harry Kim: Cheers.
- Seven of Nine: Yes.
- [cut to Kim taking a sip]
- Neelix: [anxious] Well?
- Tuvok: [pauses] Interesting.
- Harry Kim: Not bad. Not bad at all!
- B'Elanna Torres: What is it, exactly?
- Neelix: I call it "the Elixir of Endurance." It's loaded with amino acids, carbohydrates, all the nutrients necessary for the crew to withstand these stressful conditions.
- B'Elanna Torres: Ration cubes...
- Neelix: Well, yes, yes. But this time, pureed and mixed with water and enhanced with Talaxian spices.
- Seven of Nine: It is offensive. Fortunately taste is irrelevant.
- [last lines]
- Annorax's Wife: Good morning.
- Annorax: Good morning.
- Annorax's Wife: Join me for breakfast?
- Annorax: In a little while. I still have a... few more calculations.
- Annorax's Wife: There are always a few more calculations. It's a beautiful day. Spend it with me.
- Annorax: I suppose I can make the time.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Tuvok, I can hear your objections already. I am not leaving.
- Tuvok: Given Voyager's damaged state, the probability of your surviving an armed conflict... is marginal.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Oh, I know the odds. But I have to stay. Voyager's done too much for us.
- Tuvok: Curious. I have never understood the Human compulsion to emotionally bond with inanimate objects. This vessel has done nothing. It is an assemblage of bulkheads, conduits, tritanium. Nothing more.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Oh, you're wrong. It's much more than that. This ship has been our home. It's kept us together. It's been part of our family. As illogical as this might sound, I feel as close to Voyager as I do to any other member of my crew. It's carried us, Tuvok - even nurtured us. And right now, it needs one of us.
- Tuvok: I respect your decision.
- Tuvok: [performs the Vulcan salute] Live long and prosper, Captain.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Same to you - old friend.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: If that ship is destroyed, all of history might be restored. And this is one year I'd like to forget.
- Chakotay: You've been at this for 200 years, Annorax. What makes you think you're ever going to succeed?
- Annorax: What makes you think Voyager will ever reach Earth? The odds against you are astronomical. Yet you keep trying.
- Chakotay: You're right. But we don't destroy everything that stands in our way.
- Annorax: [after Chakotay has eradicated a comet in a simulation to change Voyager's history] Congratulations. You almost wiped out 8,000 civilizations.
- Annorax: I have collected artifacts from... hundreds of worlds. This vessel is more than a weapon. It's a museum of lost histories.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [after the Doctor has officially relieved her of command] How do you plan to implement this protocol, Doctor? Mr. Tuvok doesn't have a security team, both the brigs have been destroyed, and with the internal force fields offline, you'll have a hell of a time keeping me confined. You'd better grab a phaser; because before I give up command, you'll have to shoot me.
- The Doctor: You realize this incident will be noted in my official logs. By refusing my orders, you risk a general court martial.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Compared to what I've been through the past few months, a court martial would be a small price to pay. If we make it back home, I'll be happy to face the music.
- Seven of Nine: [after questioning Captain Janeway's decisions in front of the crew] As a Borg, I submitted to a single authority, the Collective. Over the past several months, I've been encouraged to think and act as an individual. It is difficult to know when to restrain myself.
- Tuvok: Remember this guideline: the Captain is always right.
- Seven of Nine: Even when you know her logic is flawed?
- Tuvok: Perhaps.
- Annorax: Beyond study and instrumentation, there is instinct. Not everyone has the ability to truly perceive time - its colors, its moods.
- Tom Paris: He's lost his family. Okay, that's a terrible thing. But so has everyone else on this ship. And frankly, so have we!
- Annorax: When I tell you that time has moods, a disposition to be intuited, I'm not speaking metaphorically.
- Chakotay: What *do* you mean?
- Annorax: Anger is one of its moods - anger, and the desire for retribution, vengeance. Time itself has tried to punish me for my arrogance. It has kept me from my wife, denied me my future!
- Annorax: You can't imagine the burden of memory that I carry. Thousands of worlds, billions of lives, gone, brought back, gone again... I try to rationalize the loss. They're not really being destroyed, because they never existed. Sometimes I can... almost convince myself.
- Tom Paris: This guy thinks that time has a personal grudge against him. That's called paranoia, Chakotay, with a hint of megalomania.
