Quotes 

• Seven of Nine : All of these elaborate rituals of deception... I didn't realize becoming human again would be such a challenge. Sexuality is particularly complex. As Borg, we had no need for seduction, no time for single-cell fertilization. We saw a species we wanted and we assimilated it. Nevertheless, I am willing to explore my humanity. Take off your clothes.

• Seven of Nine : I may be new to individuality, but I'm not ignorant of human behavior. I've noticed your attempts to engage me in idle conversation, and I see the way your pupils dilate when you look at my body.

  Harry Kim : [nervously]  I don't know what you're talking about.

  Seven of Nine : Obviously you've suggested a visit to the holodeck in the hopes of creating a romantic mood. Are you in love with me, Ensign?

  Harry Kim : Well... no.

  Seven of Nine : Then you wish to copulate?

  Harry Kim : No!

  [laughs awkwardly] 

  Harry Kim : I mean, I... I-I don't know what I mean.

• [Harry and Seven have to remove a Borg component] 

  Seven of Nine : I suggest a radical dislocation.

  Harry Kim : A what?

  Seven of Nine : We need to pull it out.

  [Harry sniggers] 

  Seven of Nine : Assist me.

  Harry Kim : Okay, on three.

  Seven of Nine : Three?

  Harry Kim : On the count of three, we pull together.

  Seven of Nine : Crude, but effective.

• Seven of Nine : The last time we worked together, I struck you at the base of your skull and attempted to contact the Collective.

  Harry Kim : These things happen.

  Seven of Nine : I assure you it will not happen again.

  Harry Kim : That's good to know.

• Seven of Nine : I understand the concept of humor. It may not be apparent, but I am often amused by human behavior.

• Seven of Nine : I've been damaged.

  Harry Kim : Ooh. That looks pretty bad. You better get to Sick Bay.

  Seven of Nine : As a drone, I would have regenerated within seconds. I've become weak.

  Harry Kim : No more than the rest of us. You'll be fine. C'mon, I'll walk you there.

  Tom Paris : [in Sick Bay]  'Nother half a millimeter and you would have severed the carpal nerve. Might have had to operate. You are a mere mortal now. As your family doctor, I'd suggest you be more careful. There. Good as new.

  Harry Kim : I'll see you back in the cargo bay.

  Harry Kim : [after Seven of Nine leaves]  What kind of bedside manner was that?

  Tom Paris : What are you talking about?

  Harry Kim : Can't you see she's feeling vulnerable, and here you are going on about severed nerves and major surgery?

  Tom Paris : Would you take it easy? I was just trying to lighten the mood. She wasn't upset by it.

  Harry Kim : Yes, she was! I could see it on her face!

  Tom Paris : You seem a little protective. This morning you were dreading being in the same room with her.

  Harry Kim : Well, I've... gotten to know her a little better. I don't think most people realize she's not just some Borg automaton. She's actually very... complex.

  Tom Paris : Oh, really?

  Harry Kim : Yes, she is. She's even got a sense of humor. It's offbeat, a bit subtle, maybe - and she's incredibly intelligent.

  Tom Paris : Well, she ought to be. She assimilated enough people.

  Harry Kim : See? See what I mean? It's Borg this, Borg that. You can't resist making a joke. There's a woman in there, if you'd take the time to look.

  Tom Paris : Harry, you've got a crush on her, don't you?

  Harry Kim : What? No. Not at all. Maybe just a little.

  Tom Paris : I've seen this look in your eyes right before you fall head over heels. You always go for the tough ones. What was it last time, a hologram? I don't know much about Borg women, but my advice to you is: Don't.

  Harry Kim : Just trying to make her feel like part of the team.

  Tom Paris : "Part of the team?" You sound like Chakotay. Look, she's beautiful and she's smart - and I'm sure she's a wonderful... conversationalist - but a month ago she was Borg. You don't really know who she is. It's great that you're trying to make her feel comfortable. Just be careful.

  Harry Kim : Thanks for the advice.

  Tom Paris : [after Harry leaves]  I just hope you take it.

• Harry Kim : I-I always wanted to learn Borg.

  Seven of Nine : That is difficult to believe.

  Harry Kim : I was kidding.

• Seven of Nine : Beauty is irrelevant - unless you wish to change the nature of our affiliation.

• Seven of Nine : Comfort is irrelevant. We're here to work.

• Seven of Nine : I may no longer possess Borg perfection, but my experience as a drone has taught me to be efficient and precise.

  Harry Kim : Actually, you misaligned this optical assembly.

  Seven of Nine : Impossible.

  Harry Kim : Take a look. It's off by .5 degrees.

  [Seven of Nine checks the assembly; Kim is correct] 

  Seven of Nine : It must have been my humanity reasserting itself.
