Quotes 

• [the Doctor has come up with a solution to separate Neelix and Tuvok] 

  The Doctor : I assure you, Mr. Tuvix, there's nothing to worry about. We've accounted for every variable.

  Tuvix : Except one. I don't want to die.

• Tuvix : I know there'll be some people who... will call me a coward because I didn't sacrifice myself willingly - believe me, I've thought of that - but I have the will to live as two men. Look at me, Captain. When I'm happy, I laugh. When I'm sad, I cry. When I stub my toe, I yell out in pain. I'm flesh and blood, and I... have the right to live!

• [Tuvix is to be separated into Tuvok and Neelix and, thus, killed] 

  Tuvix : Each of you... is going to have to live with this - and I'm sorry for that, for you are all good... good people. My colleagues, my friends, I forgive you.

• [the galley is crammed with people] 

  Tuvix : Do you mind telling me what's going on here, Crewman?

  Lieutenant Hogan : We're making dinner.

  Tuvix : I see. All right, everybody out!

  Lieutenant Hogan : On whose authority?

  Tuvix : Chief of Security or Head Chef, take your pick. Out, out, out!

• Tuvix : Captain, has anyone ever told you that you are as fair-minded as you are lovely?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : As a matter of fact, Neelix has told me that occasionally. And if you really do possess his memories - you'd know that flattery will get you nowhere.

• [the crew has made several unsuccessful attempts to reverse the symbiogenesis of a plant] 

  Tuvix : I suppose it would be like trying to extract the flour, eggs and water, *after* you'd baked the cake.

• Kes : So, what should I call you?

  Tuvix : Ah, a name! I hadn't thought of that. What an intriguing question. I can see why the Doctor's finding it so difficult to choose one. A name can have a significant effect upon a person's sense of identity. I've got it!

  Kes : What?

  Tuvix : Why don't you call me... 'Neevok'? Wait... This is better: how about 'Tuvix'?

  Kes : Tuvix it is.

• Tuvix : In the past 24 hours I've undergone rigorous diagnostic testing, submitted to an extensive psychological profile - and I've been poked and prodded in organs that I didn't even know I had.

• Tuvix : Sex!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I beg your pardon?

• Tuvix : Captain, what you're considering is an execution. An execution! Like they used to do to murderers centuries ago. And I've committed no crime at all.

• Tuvix : I feel as though I have been dragged in front of the Numerian Inquisition.
