- Neelix: So, I'm going to become a security officer. How about that?
- Lieutenant Tuvok: Fortunately, Mr. Neelix, what Kes has been describing is merely one possible future. On each occasion that she jumped to a previous time, her subsequent actions most likely altered the future from that moment on.
- Neelix: Good point, Tuvok. Maybe I'll turn out to be Chief Security Officer.
- Neelix: [cutting into a Jimbalian fudge cake] You know, I haven't made one of these since... well, since I became Security Officer.
- Lieutenant Tuvok: Perhaps you would care to relinquish your commission and return to the scene of your former triumphs.
- Neelix: You keep working on that sense of humor, Commander Vulcan. You'll get it one of these days.

- Kes: If there's one thing that this experience has taught me, Captain, it's that there's no time like the present.
- Ensign Harry Kim: So, how does it feel to be a grandfather?
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: A lot better than it does to have you for a son-in-law.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Let me get one thing straight, Doc - is it possible, if this keeps happening to Kes, that she might actually jump back into a time before she knew any of us?
- The Doctor: Worse than that, Mr. Paris. It's possible she may eventually jump back to a time... before she even existed.
- Kes: It's not as if I've seen everything that's going to happen over the next six years. I only remember short periods I experienced between jumps.
- Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: Even so, I bet you found out some pretty interesting things.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Yeah, Kes. Tell us what you know.
- Commander Chakotay: Careful, Tom. You may find out that you leave Voyager only to join a monastery.
- Linnis Paris: Well, I... seem to be much more comfortable with a molecular scanner than I am with a diaper.
