Quotes 

• The Doctor : It's the crew's reputations that are at risk.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I'm not so sure. I think it's your reputation that's on the line here. You have the same rights as every other member of this crew, and I'm not going to let this publisher say otherwise.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Your Honor, centuries ago, in most places on Earth, only landowners of a particular gender and race had any rights at all. Over time, those rights were extended to all humans, and later, as we explored the galaxy, to thousands of other sentient species. Our definition of what constitutes a person has continued to evolve. Now, we're asking that you expand that definition once more - to include our Doctor. When I met him seven years ago, I would never have believed that an EMH could become a valued member of my crew - and my friend. The Doctor is a person, as real as any flesh and blood I have ever known. If you believe the testimony you've heard here, it's only fair to conclude that he has the same rights as any of us.

• [Publisher Broht has refused to recall the copies of the Doctor's holo-program, which he has distributed prematurely] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I don't see that you have a choice, Mr. Broht. Authors have rights.

  Arden Broht : Not in this case.

  The Doctor : What do you mean?

  Arden Broht : The Doctor is a hologram.

  The Doctor : So?

  Arden Broht : According to Federation law, holograms *have* no rights.

• The Doctor : Do you think I'll be able to find another publisher?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : There's one thing I've learned about you, Doctor, is that you can do just about anything you set your mind to.
