Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Come on, Chakotay. I cheated death. That's worth a celebration, don't you think? Bottle of champagne, moonlight sail on Lake George. How does that sound?

  Commander Chakotay : Like something worth living for.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Come on, Chakotay, there must be some talent you have that people would enjoy. Maybe I could stand with an apple on my head and you could phaser it off.

  Commander Chakotay : Sounds great. If I miss, I get to be Captain.

• [the alien urges Janeway to come with him into his matrix] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Let me tell you this: we can stand here for all eternity, and I will never choose to go with you.

  Admiral Edward Janeway/Alien : You're in a dangerous profession, Captain. You face death every day. There'll be another time, and I'll be waiting. Eventually, you'll come into my matrix... and you will nourish me for a long, long time.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Go back to hell, coward!

• [after a - seemingly fatal - shuttle accident, Janeway looks upon her crew as a disembodied presence] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I have to know what's going to happen to them. To see Kes continue to grow and learn. To know if Tom and B'Elanna will ever stop sparring with each other and develop a real friendship.

  Admiral Edward Janeway : You can only be an observer of their lives, never a participant.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I don't care. I'd rather be here in spirit than not at all. A captain doesn't abandon ship!

• Admiral Edward Janeway : I'm trying to spare you unnecessary pain.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : My father would never act like this. He always believed I had to learn my own lessons, make my own mistakes. He never tried to shield me from life. Why would he try to shield me from death? You're not my father.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : [to the alien]  And you don't strike me as any kind of good Samaritan. You're more like a vulture, preying on people at the moment of their death when they're most vulnerable.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : That's the real me, isn't it, lying on the ground on that planet, dying? And this is the hallucination. THIS isn't real.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : He wanted to take me into another place.

  Commander Chakotay : Another place? Some kind of afterlife?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Maybe. But I can tell you this: from what I saw, it's certainly not where I'd like to spend eternity.
