- [Chakotay has gone off on a suicide mission, asking Voyager not to try a rescue attempt]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: My gut tells me we should go after Chakotay. But my better judgment... tells me we should honor his request.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: I would never want you to ignore your judgment, Captain. But let me ask you this: in your judgment, how would the loss of our First Officer affect this crew? What would it do to the morale on this ship? Maybe this is an instance when your gut is giving you better advice.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Tell me this: how do you expect me to keep order when the First Officer takes it upon himself to run off like some cowboy because he decides it's a good idea? What you did was commendable; the way you did it was not. You set a terrible example. And on a personal level, you've made my job more difficult.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: [referring to Seska manipulating the Voyager crew] You're taking this all very personally, aren't you?
- Commander Chakotay: Why shouldn't I?
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: You are not responsible for what happened.
- Commander Chakotay: Oh, no? I let her join the Maquis. I took her into my confidence. I even got... intimately involved with her.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: So you have lousy taste in women.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: [on the "illegal" use of the transporter during warp speed] When you're a Maquis, you don't always have the luxury of following protocols.
- Lieutenant Tuvok: Please stay where you are. You will find that our transporters have rendered your weapons useless.
- Commander Chakotay: I had you right where I wanted you.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: What're you talking about? I was ahead - nineteen-seven.
- Commander Chakotay: I was just lulling you into a false sense of security.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: [sardonically] Sure you were.
- Commander Chakotay: I'll win the next couple of points, then you'll start to tense up.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: I do not tense up!
- Commander Chakotay: Easy, B'Elanna - it's only hoverball.
- [last lines]
- Seska: [in an automated message] Hello, Chakotay. Congratulations on your victory. I look forward to our next meeting. Oh, and there's something you should know: while you were unconscious, I took the liberty of extracting a sample of your DNA. I impregnated myself with it. So, I guess, more congratulations are in order. You're going to be a father!
- Ensign Harry Kim: [Voyager has detected a Federation communication signal] They must be looking for us!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Your optimism may be premature, Mister Kim...
- Ensign Harry Kim: Sorry, Captain.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: ...but it's also infectious!
