- The Doctor: What happened to you?
- Harry Kim: I cut myself shaving.
- The Doctor: Is that a bite mark?
- Harry Kim: One of the Klingons attacked me.
- The Doctor: Did you do something to provoke him?
- Harry Kim: Not him, her, and she wasn't provoked. She was... aroused.
- The Doctor: Ah. I'm not surprised. I've studied the section on Klingon mating rituals in their cultural database.
- Harry Kim: Then maybe you can tell me how to convince a female twice my size that I'm not interested!
- The Doctor: Hm - you probably can't.
- Harry Kim: Great.
- The Doctor: As I understand it, you have two options: Kill her... or mate with her. Since the first option is clearly unacceptable...
- [hands Kim a PADD]
- Harry Kim: What's this?
- The Doctor: Authorization for you to engage in intimate relations with a member of an alien species. Be sure to get the Captain's approval as well.
- Tom Paris: I was hoping our daughter would be special, but I never dreamed she'd turn out to be the Klingon messiah.
- [B'Elanna is beaming herself into her quarters]
- Tom Paris: When you said "Be there in a minute," you weren't kidding.
- B'Elanna Torres: A group of Klingons ambushed me outside of Engineering. I decided transporting myself would be easier than running the gauntlet.
- [last lines]
- Tom Paris: You know, this is one special kid we're gonna have.
- B'Elanna Torres: You're just figuring that out?
- Tom Paris: Well, I was hoping for an artist or maybe a musician, but she's already the savior of an entire race.
- B'Elanna Torres: You don't really believe that.
- Tom Paris: I don't know. There're a lot of coincidences to explain. I mean, what were the odds that they'd run into the one ship in the whole quadrant with a Klingon aboard?
- B'Elanna Torres: Probably about the same odds that you and I would get married.
- Tom Paris: Maybe we should name her 'Kuvah'magh' - just to be safe.
- B'Elanna Torres: Put it on the list.
- Kohlar: I hope someday you'll tell her about us.
- B'Elanna Torres: I will.
- Kohlar: Qapla', B'Elanna Torres.
- B'Elanna Torres: Qapla'.
- [Torres is telling the Klingons a "colorful story"]
- B'Elanna Torres: Tuvok and Neelix fought valiantly, but there were too many Hirogen. I had to face ten of their fiercest hunters - alone!
- Tom Paris: [aside, to Neelix] Is that how you remember it?
- Neelix: Exaggeration is part of Klingon custom. She's doing great.
- Kohlar: It is possible that the sacred scrolls were scrawled by a madman in a cave - or perhaps they really WERE divinely inspired. Either way, they've guided us for over a century. If my people start to believe that the sacred scrolls have led them astray, there may be violence.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Is that a threat?
- Kohlar: Merely a fact. You're doing everything you can to get your people home, Captain. That's all I'm doing for mine.
- Kohlar: [contemplating B'Elanna's quarters] Where are the images of Kahless? Where is your family crest?
- B'Elanna Torres: They clashed with the carpet.
- T'Greth: Grant me a warrior's death. I beg of you.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Sorry. No mercy killings on my bridge.
- Tom Paris: Paris to Torres.
- B'Elanna Torres: I'm almost finished.
- Tom Paris: You said that an hour ago.
- [having studied Klingon etiquette, Neelix steps into a Klingon fight]
- Neelix: You shouldn't quarrel over food! Save your strength for battle, to fight those who would challenge you!
