- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [at Neelix's suggestion to leave Voyager] You can't just walk away from your responsibilities because you made a mistake. You're part of a family now, and you have obligations.
- Neelix: But... I can't guide you. I can't advise you. I don't know what's coming.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Well, that's not the point... is it? None of us knows what's coming. That's what Starfleet is all about. We are all in this together, Neelix, and we have to be able to count on each other, no matter how hard it gets.
- Neelix: Ensign Vorik.
- Ensign Vorik: Yes, Mr. Neelix?
- Neelix: You're quite young. Is it difficult for you being so far away from everything that's familiar?
- Ensign Vorik: Had I been given the choice, I might not have chosen to explore the Delta Quadrant; however, since we are here, I must say the challenges are intriguing.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: You've been on this ship for two years. I think by now you'd have learned that the first duty of any Starfleet officer is the truth. You violated that duty, Neelix. And there will be consequences.
- Neelix: I've heard you were in some trouble in the past. Spent time in prison.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: That's right.
- Neelix: Do you...? Would you... tell me how you got in trouble?
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: I've thought a lot about that, and it comes down to one simple fact: I didn't tell the truth. I made a mistake - which happens to people - but if I'd admitted that mistake, it would have been a lot better, but I lied about it and it nearly ruined my life.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [to Neelix] You've been one of my most trusted advisers since we began this journey. How can I ever trust you again? How can I ever listen to you without wondering whether you're telling the truth or not?
- [Chakotay and Paris have been arrested and charged with murder]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I want my security officer present during all interrogations.
- Bahrat: I'll take that into consideration, but make no mistake about this: someone will serve fifty years of cryostatic suspension for that murder. If I were to let this go unpunished, there would be anarchy on this station within days.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [firmly] You make no mistake about this: I won't allow members of my crew to be condemned for a crime they did not commit.
- [last lines]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Report to deuterium maintenance at 0400 hours tomorrow morning. You're going to spend the next two weeks scrubbing the exhaust manifolds. That should give you time to think about what I said. Dismissed.
- Neelix: [Neelix was supposed to steal some warp plasma from Voyager so he and Wixiban could appease some Kolaati traders] I couldn't do it. I just couldn't.
