Quotes 

• Captain Janeway : There's coffee in that nebula.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Neelix - do we have any coffee left?

  Neelix : No. But we have something even better!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I don't want something even better, I want coffee!

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : So - has Neelix concocted anything interesting this morning?

  Ensign Harry Kim : There's an ancient Chinese curse, Captain: "May you live in interesting times". Mealtime is always interesting, now that Neelix is in the kitchen.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : [after 'escaping' Neelix's 'even better than coffee'-substitute]  Yes, Commander?

  Commander Chakotay : There was no need for you to come to the bridge, Captain.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Yes, there was.

• The Doctor : I'm curious, Captain. Exactly what're you looking for?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I need to know if we did serious harm to this life-form.

  The Doctor : Let's see - you ran your ship through it, fired phasers at it and blew a hole in it with a photon torpedo. I'd say it's a pretty good chance that you did...

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Computer, mute audio.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : [after Neelix has requested to stay behind during the 'nebula'-mission]  All our crews are busy preparing for this mission. I'm not pulling them off their duties to prepare your ship for launch, and I'm not gonna drop you off on the side of the road every time we hit a bump. When we're finished, if you wanna leave, that's your business. But for the moment, find yourself a seat with a good view; because - just like Jonah and the whale - you're going in.

  Neelix : Is that final?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Dismissed.

  [Neelix stays put, confused] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : That's a Starfleet expression for 'get out'!

• [first lines] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Personal log, stardate 48546.2 - Our journey home is several weeks old now, and I have begun to notice in my crew, and in myself, a subtle change, as the reality of our situation settles in. Here, in the Delta Quadrant, we are virtually the entire family of man. We are more than a crew, and I must find a way to be more than a captain to these people. But it's not clear to me exactly how to begin. At the Academy, we're taught that a captain is expected to maintain a certain distance. Until now, I've always been comfortable with that distance. -... - Maybe this is just the way it works. Maybe the distance *is* necessary. Maybe more than ever, now, they need me to be larger than life. I only wish I felt larger than life. Computer, delete last sentence.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : The Commander was introducing me to my animal guide.

  Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : I hope that you have better luck with yours than I had with mine.

  Commander Chakotay : B'Elanna's the only one I know who tried to kill her animal guide.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : What do you make of it, Mr. Tuvok?

  Lieutenant Tuvok : I am unable to offer an identification, Captain.

  Ensign Harry Kim : [activating his communicator]  Kim to Tuvok. In other words, you've never seen anything like it. Oh, I promise not to tell the junior officers!

• Captain Janeway : I'm just gonna have to give up coffee. That's all there is to it.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : A-koo-chee-moya. We are far from the sacred places of our grandfathers and from the bones of our people. But perhaps there is one powerful being who will embrace this good crew and give them the answer they seek.
