Quotes 

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : [at Neelix's suggestion to leave Voyager]  You can't just walk away from your responsibilities because you made a mistake. You're part of a family now, and you have obligations.

  Neelix : But... I can't guide you. I can't advise you. I don't know what's coming.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Well, that's not the point... is it? None of us knows what's coming. That's what Starfleet is all about. We are all in this together, Neelix, and we have to be able to count on each other, no matter how hard it gets.

• Neelix : Ensign Vorik.

  Ensign Vorik : Yes, Mr. Neelix?

  Neelix : You're quite young. Is it difficult for you being so far away from everything that's familiar?

  Ensign Vorik : Had I been given the choice, I might not have chosen to explore the Delta Quadrant; however, since we are here, I must say the challenges are intriguing.

• Neelix : I've heard you were in some trouble in the past. Spent time in prison.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : That's right.

  Neelix : Do you...? Would you... tell me how you got in trouble?

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : I've thought a lot about that, and it comes down to one simple fact: I didn't tell the truth. I made a mistake - which happens to people - but if I'd admitted that mistake, it would have been a lot better, but I lied about it and it nearly ruined my life.

• Neelix : Voyager is a wonderful place to be. People here are very fortunate.

• [Neelix has decided to tell Bahrat the truth about the murder] 

  Wixiban : We'll end up in his cryostatic prison for decades.

  Neelix : Not if he agrees to my plan.

  Wixiban : Your plan is crazy. It's worse than prison - it's a death sentence!

  Neelix : That would be better than living a lie.

• Neelix : If we are able to turn them over to you, will you agree not to charge us with a crime?

  Bahrat : It's no risk to me. You'll undoubtedly perish in this ridiculous scheme.

• Neelix : [Neelix was supposed to steal some warp plasma from Voyager so he and Wixiban could appease some Kolaati traders]  I couldn't do it. I just couldn't.
