[last lines]
Tom Paris : From now on, I promise, no more affairs with strange ships.
B'Elanna Torres : What about the Delta Flyer?
Tom Paris : We're just friends.
-
B'Elanna Torres : So, I finally get to meet the other woman.
Tom Paris : Well, don't be too critical; she's a long way from finished.
B'Elanna Torres : When have you ever known me to be critical?
Tom Paris : [laughs] Is that a trick question?

[first lines]
Tom Paris : All right, all right, hold on - if you were married in 2304 and your daughter was conceived during your eleventh pon farr, that would make you... 162 years old.
Tuvok : Incorrect.
Harry Kim : Come on, Tom, the man's not a day over 140. We know you were at least 100 when you joined Starfleet the second time, so I'm guessing you're around... 133?
Tuvok : Also incorrect. I'm afraid you both lack sufficient data to reach a logical conclusion.
Tom Paris : Come on, Tuvok, tell us.
Tuvok : I see no reason to enlighten you.
Harry Kim : Don't tell me Vulcans are embarrassed about their age.
Tuvok : On the contrary. We value the wisdom that comes with advancing years.
Tom Paris : In that case, how *wise* are you?
Tuvok : Wise enough to end this inquiry.
-
Tom Paris : Look at those lines. It's a work of art. That ship wasn't assembled, it was sculpted. I think I'm in love...
[on seeing 'Alice' for the first time]

Neelix : There's nothing like having your own ship. I remember when I first laid eyes on my little freighter, Baxial.
Tom Paris : No, don't tell me - love at first sight!
Neelix : Actually, I thought she was the ugliest thing I ever saw.
[both laugh]
Neelix : But she grew on me. Eventually, I, I couldn't imagine being without her. You know, she's still down in the shuttle bay. Why don't we get her and Alice together and go on a double date?
Tom Paris : Yeah. You pack the picnic basket, I'll bring the deuterium.

[Paris tells Alice about his very first flight experience]
Tom Paris : ...But then... came this moment of clarity, when suddenly everything made sense.
Alice : The clouds parted.
Tom Paris : I was flying! - No matter how many starships I've piloted since then, I'm still chasing that feeling.
Alice : Tomorrow you'll catch it. Only this time, there won't be any clumsy controls to get in the way. Just you - me - and the stars.
-
Tom Paris : I'm sorry - for everything.
B'Elanna Torres : It wasn't your fault.
Tom Paris : But I remember all of it - everything I said, everything I did... It was like I was sleepwalking.
B'Elanna Torres : The important thing is, you woke up.
Tom Paris : Yeah... Thanks for being my alarm clock.
-
Tom Paris : Congratulations, Tuvok. You just saved us from a flotilla of hostile trash.
[after Tuvok has raised shields and charged weapons against a junkyard]

Abaddon : She doesn't like being manhandled.
Neelix : Temperamental?
Abaddon : Sensitive. She demands respect, like any fine piece of machinery.
Lt. Tom Paris : Sounds like you're sorry to let her go.
Abaddon : Well, in some ways, she's like the daughter that I couldn't marry off - but that doesn't mean I'd trade her to just anyone.
