Quotes
-
[first lines]
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [looking over Rebi's and Azan's science project] Why potatoes?
Seven of Nine : Their first idea was to clone Naomi, but I suggested they start with something smaller.
-
Seven of Nine : Anyone who values their own goals over the safety of their children is irresponsible.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Are we talking about Icheb's parents or yours?
Seven of Nine : Both.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : It's not like you to admit to something like that.
Seven of Nine : It would be naive for me to claim objectivity in this case, but I'm not prepared to return Icheb to parents who may be as careless as my own.
-
[Mezoti has created a cube-shaped terrarium with a Teirenian ant colony]
Mezoti : The drones produce a fluorescent enzyme that's activated by the queen.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : "Drones and queens?" I thought we were trying to get these children away from the Borg.
Seven of Nine : The project was Mezoti's idea. I didn't want to discourage her individuality.
Mezoti : I like bugs.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Well done. Let me know before you take up bee-keeping.
-
Seven of Nine : I know what you're thinking, that I'm having emotional difficulty accepting my separation from Icheb - and you're correct - but if there's a possibility he's in danger, even a remote one, I have to do whatever I can to protect him. If I don't, I'll be no better than my own parents.
-
[Icheb has defended his parents' plan to use him as a weapon against the Borg]
Seven of Nine : I know how difficult it is to acknowledge your parents' faults, but what they did was wrong. You don't have to forgive them.
Icheb : Do you think they will ever forgive me?
Seven of Nine : For what?
Icheb : I could have destroyed that sphere. I failed them.
Seven of Nine : You would have been reassimilated.
Icheb : I know, but...
Seven of Nine : But what?
Icheb : Maybe it was my destiny.
Seven of Nine : Maybe. In the future, you may choose to fight the Borg, but you'll do it in your own way. You're an individual, and you have the right to determine your own destiny.
-
The Borg : We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Seven of Nine : Perhaps not.
-
[Icheb's family has been found]
Seven of Nine : It won't be easy for him to accept. He's adapted to life on Voyager.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : And you've adapted to having him here.
Seven of Nine : My feelings are irrelevant.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Are they?
-
Mezoti : If you find my parents, will I have to go with them?
Seven of Nine : We'll discuss that when and if the time comes.
Mezoti : I hope you don't find them.
-
[last lines]
Seven of Nine : It's time to regenerate.
Icheb : And if I prefer to continue studying?
[Seven pauses for a moment]
Seven of Nine : It's your decision.
-
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [after several warnings] Wait for me in my ready room.
Seven of Nine : Captain...
Captain Kathryn Janeway : [growled] Now.
-
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Your attitude is making a difficult situation worse.
Seven of Nine : I was simply attempting to insure Icheb's well-being.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : By insulting his parents?
Seven of Nine : Those issues needed to be discussed.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : You could have done it with a little more tact.
