Quotes 

• Seven of Nine : My designation is Seven of Nine, but the others are gone. Designations are no longer relevant. I am... one.

• [last lines] 

  Seven of Nine : Red.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : What?

  Seven of Nine : The child you spoke of, the girl. Her favorite color was red.

• Seven of Nine : Your attempts to assimilate this drone will fail. You can alter our physiology, but you cannot change our nature. We will betray you. We are Borg.

• [Janeway shows Seven of Nine the picture of a little girl] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Do you remember her? Her name was Annika Hansen. She was born on Stardate 25479, at the Tendara Colony. There's still a lot we don't know about her. Did she have any siblings? Who were her friends? Where did she go to school? What was her favorite color?

  Seven of Nine : Irrelevant! Take me back to the Borg!

• Harry Kim : So what's it like out there in Galactic Cluster III?

  Seven of Nine : Beyond your comprehension.

  Harry Kim : Try me.

  Seven of Nine : Galactic Cluster III is a transmaterial energy plane intersecting twenty-two billion omnicordial life forms.

  Harry Kim : Oh. Interesting.

• Seven of Nine : You have imprisoned us in the name of humanity, yet you will not grant us your most cherished human right: to choose our own fate. You are hypocritical, manipulative. We do not want to be what you are! Return us to the Collective!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : You lost the capacity to make a rational choice the moment you were assimilated. They took that from you, and until I'm convinced you've gotten it back, I'm making the choice for you. You're staying here.

  Seven of Nine : Then you are no different than the Borg.

• Seven of Nine : We fully recall the engineering specifications of your vessel.

  B'Elanna Torres : Good. Can you also recall the way it looked before you turned it into a Borg circus?

• Seven of Nine : You are an individual. You are small. You can not understand what it is to be Borg!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : No, but I can imagine. You were part of a vast consciousness, billions of minds working together, a harmony of purpose and thought, no indecision, no doubts, the security and strength of a unified will - and you've lost that.

  Seven of Nine : [taking this in]  This drone is small now. Alone. One voice. One mind. The silence is unacceptable! We need the others!

• Seven of Nine : Do not engage us in superficial attempts at sympathy.
