Quotes 

• Lieutenant Tom Paris : [on Seska]  You should never have crossed her, Tuvok.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : *She* has been dead for over a year now. There would have been no way to predict this turn of events.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : I guess we should've known Seska wouldn't let a little thing like death stop her from getting even.

• "Ensign" Tom Paris : It's been over an hour already, I'm getting bored.

  Tuvok : I am not concerned with your amusement, Ensign. We are in a crisis situation and we will follow procedure, and procedure dictates that we wait for the right opportunity to attempt an escape, whether it takes an hour or a week.

  "Ensign" Tom Paris : A week? Who wrote this stuff?

• [last lines] 

  Neelix : I've got a great idea for a holo-novel about a daring trader who becomes a cook on a starship. Eventually he rises to...

  Lieutenant Tuvok : Mr. Neelix, if Mr. Paris and I do create another work of holo-fiction, I assure you, we will choose a subject much less close to home.

• Neelix : I would never presume to interfere in the creative process. It's more of a comment, really. About the Neelix character...

  Lieutenant Tuvok : How surprising.

  Neelix : He would never betray the Captain the way he does in that story. Er, no offense, Mr. Vulcan, but I don't think you understand my character very well.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : Tuvok, did you forget to follow the Dictates of Poetics?

• Lieutenant Tuvok : Need I remind you that it was I who first began the scenario?

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : And you think I'm compromising your creative vision?

  Lieutenant Tuvok : In so many words, yes.

• [Paris and Tuvok are working on a continuation for the holo-novel] 

  Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : Now, up until now, the story's been nothing but action - which is fine - but what it needs is a little heart, a little emotion.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : We are not writing a romance novel, Lieutenant.

• [Tuvok explains that he thought he had deleted the holo-scenario permanently] 

  Captain Janeway : Apparently you didn't account for B'Elanna's exceptional computer skills.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : Nor her somewhat excessive curiosity.
