Tom Paris : [receiving the instructor] It's an honor to meet you, sir. May I show you to the Delta Flyer?
Kleg, Flying Instructor : Why?
Tom Paris : Um... so you can explain what I did wrong and then administer the test.
Kleg, Flying Instructor : It sounds to me like you need lessons in patience as well.
B'Elanna Torres : [ironic] Oh, Tom is very patient, sir.
Neelix : [likewise] Never impulsive.
Harry Kim : Take all the time you need. He'll enjoy the extra attention.

[Paris has to interrupt his flight test after being recalled to duty, performing some audacious maneuvers in the process]
Kleg, Flying Instructor : I am sorry to inform you, Mr. Paris, but you have failed this examination! You will no longer be allowed to operate a vessel within Ledosian space.
Tom Paris : Something tells me that's not gonna be a problem.

[as a penalty for a flight infraction, Paris has to take flight lessons]
Harry Kim : Tom! You joining us? Oh, that's right, you have to go to pilot school!
B'Elanna Torres : I hear the course takes days.
Tom Paris : Yeah, for most people, but I did a little research. If the instructor agrees, you can skip the lessons and go right to the test, so I will be seeing you in a couple of hours.
Neelix : [to Torres] You have to admire his optimism.

Tom Paris : [Paris has broken a local traffic law, and has just been informed by Janeway that he's been sentenced to...] Piloting lessons?
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Well, apparently, the standard penalty for your infraction is a three-day course in flight safety followed by a test.
Tom Paris : Well, did you explain to them that we wouldn't be here that long?
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Well, actually, while you were completing your mission, Seven was invited to a four-day conference.
Tom Paris : Here on Ledos?
Captain Kathryn Janeway : I decided to give the entire crew shore leave. It'll give you plenty of time to brush up on your piloting skills.
Tom Paris : I don't need lessons.
Captain Kathryn Janeway : Apparently, the authorities disagree.
Tom Paris : But, Captain...
Captain Kathryn Janeway : You may not have known the Ledosians' rules, but you know ours. Comply with local law. Understood?
