- Lieutenant Tom Paris: I don't see what's so bad about being you. You're good at your job, everybody likes you.
- Ensign Harry Kim: Being likable is fine, but sometimes I wish I could be more bold, confident with women, more like you.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Like me? You might want to reconsider that, Harry. There could be prison time involved. Actually, since I've been on Voyager, I've tried to be more like you.
- Ensign Harry Kim: That'll be the day.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: Harry... What happened to your face?
- Ensign Harry Kim: We're still trying to figure that out.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: It's kind of cute, makes you look like a speckled targ.
- Ensign Harry Kim: [referring to B'Elanna, who got severely injured] Is she gonna be all right?
- The Doctor: Yes. Another patient snatched from the jaws of death.
- Ensign Harry Kim: Was anything you told me true? About Taresians being born on other worlds? About my being one of you?
- Malia: It's true male children are very rare here and that we seek out new DNA to sustain our race. We need males of other species, like you, who can be transformed into compatible mates.
- Ensign Harry Kim: Transformed. That's what these genes are doing to me?
- Malia: You'll be celebrated for your contribution.
- Ensign Harry Kim: Don't count on it!
- [Kim is encircled by ten Taresian women]
- Lyris: Harry, there is nowhere to go.
- [Kim is beamed out of their midst]
- Lieutenant Tuvok: Perhaps you're experiencing a paradoxical state-dependent associative phenomenon.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [translating] Déjà-vu.
- [Kim has developed a rash]
- Ensign Harry Kim: Last night, I had a dream about being sick with the Mendakan pox when I was nine. Do you think this could be a recurrence?
- The Doctor: I've never considered dreams as a diagnostic tool before.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Is this the standard "welcome home" reception?
- Taymon: For males, it is. They're very rare. Our population is 90% female.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: [very interested] Really?
- The Doctor: I've treated you for second and third degree burns and several broken ribs. I expect you'll make a full recovery...
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: [Torres tries to get up] OW!
- The Doctor: ...after you've spent at least one more day in Sickbay.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: [lying back down] This time, Doctor, I'm not gonna argue with you.
- Malia: Any father should be willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of his children, for the continuation of his race.
- Ensign Harry Kim: But how could I know so much about a place I've never been?
- Lyris: It's been coded into your Taresian genes. As you've gotten closer to home and seen familiar sights, your dormant genetic memory has been reawakened.
- Rinna: You'll remember more about us as you spend time here.
