Quotes 

• [Torres reacts warily when seeing Seven in Engineering] 

  Seven of Nine : Don't worry, Lieutenant; the son of K'Vok will not be joining us.

  B'Elanna Torres : Glad to hear it. Does this qualify as our second date?

  The Doctor : Just think of me as your chaperon.

• The Doctor : Has any drone ever experienced symptoms like these before?

  Seven of Nine : The Collective does not tolerate imperfection. Any drone with a malfunction as serious as mine would be destroyed immediately.

  The Doctor : Lucky for you, this crew is a little more tolerant.

• Captain Janeway : We haven't had the best of luck with the Borg.

  Seven of Nine : Nor have I.

• [Seven is experiencing another personality disorder] 

  Seven of Nine : Name your price. Captain...?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Janeway. And you are?

  Seven of Nine : DaiMon Torrot.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : You're Ferengi.

  Seven of Nine : Of course I'm Ferengi! Is that some kind of insult about the size of my ears?

• Seven of Nine : [catching Naomi, who has been following her, off-guard]  Naomi Wildman, sub-unit of Ensign Samantha Wildman, state your intentions.

  Naomi Wildman : [startled]  I... I...

  Seven of Nine : Very well, you leave me no choice but to report your activities to the Captain.

  Naomi Wildman : Please don't. I was just... observing you.

  Seven of Nine : Explain.

  Naomi Wildman : Well, Neelix told me that the Borg do a lot of things they do because they're trying to be perfect. And even though you're not really a drone anymore, you still try to be perfect. Don't you?

  Seven of Nine : Correct.

  Naomi Wildman : Well, if I can learn to be perfect too, then Captain Janeway will have to make me her bridge assistant.

  Seven of Nine : No such rank exists aboard this vessel.

  Naomi Wildman : Not yet.

• [last lines] 

  Seven of Nine : I require your assistance.

  Naomi Wildman : [amazed]  Me?

  Seven of Nine : I wish to participate in recreational activities.

  Naomi Wildman : Great.

  Seven of Nine : Kadis-kot. Instruct me how to play.

  Naomi Wildman : I will comply.

• Seven of Nine : When you took me from the Borg and began to turn me into an individual, I found the silence of my own mind difficult to bear. I missed the voices of the Collective, but now that I am an individual, those same voices... frighten me.

• Seven of Nine : [recognizing the source of the Borg interlink frequency]  It's a Borg vinculum.

  Cmdr. Chakotay : Vinculum?

  Seven of Nine : The processing device at the core of every Borg vessel. It interconnects the minds of all the drones. It purges individual thought and disseminates information relevant to the Collective.

  Capt. Kathryn Janeway : It brings order to chaos.

  Seven of Nine : Precisely.

  Capt. Kathryn Janeway : Looks like this one has established a link to your cortical implant.

  Seven of Nine : I believe it has identified me as an errant drone. It is attempting to reintegrate me into the Collective. The vinculum is malfunctioning. It is sending me erratic commands.

  Lt. Tuvok : Bringing chaos to order.

• Seven of Nine : The members of this crew put themselves at risk to help me. I am unsure how to reciprocate.

  Capt. Kathryn Janeway : Let's start with something small, like a recalibration of the EPS manifolds.

• Seven of Nine : Voices... I hear voices...

• Seven of Nine : This isn't medicine. It's torture! I'll sue for malpractice!

• Seven of Nine : [as Maryl, with an unconscious crewman on the floor]  Did I do something bad?

• The Doctor : It was hardly your fault. You're ill.

  Seven of Nine : Irrelevant. I am Borg. I should be able to adapt.

  The Doctor : Surprise. You aren't invincible. I suppose that's something we'll have to tackle in our next social lesson.

• [Seven hands over star charts and sociological data for Naomi Wildman to study] 

  Seven of Nine : As Bridge Assistant, you will find this information relevant.

  Naomi Wildman : Consider it assimilated.
