Robert Beltran: Cmdr. Chakotay

Quotes 

• B'Elanna Torres : When I was six, my father walked out on me. When I was 19, I got kicked out of Starfleet. A few years later, I got separated from the Maquis. And just when I start to feel safe, you tell me that all of our old friends have been slaughtered. The way I figure it, I've lost every family I've ever had.

  Chakotay : B'Elanna - you have a new family now, here on Voyager. And you're not gonna lose us. You're stuck with us.

  B'Elanna Torres : You can't promise me that.

  Chakotay : No, I suppose I can't. Losing people's inevitable; and sometimes it happens sooner than we expect. But I can promise you that the people on this ship aren't about to let you stop living your life, or break your neck on the holodeck. You're gonna have to find another way to deal with this.

• Chakotay : Maybe you're afraid if you let yourself start to feel something, you might not be able to stop. You can't just shut off your emotions, B'Elanna. Sooner or later, you're gonna have to let yourself grieve.

• Cmdr. Chakotay : You created a program to watch all our Maquis friends get slaughtered. What I want to know is why!

  Lt. B'Elanna Torres : I thought we came down here to talk about safety protocols.
