- Chakotay: What's so different about us, aside from the fact that I keep saving your life and you keep threatening to kill me?
- [Kar is showing Chakotay several trophies]
- Kar: This is debris from a Nistrim frigate. The man you are demanding to see destroyed it, killing more than 100 in a single shot. Before that, his name was only Ra. Now he is called Jal Razik. And this tunic belonged to a Relora warrior. He was killed by the bare hands of another Ogla, called only Hali. Now that man is called Jal Haliz, one of our greatest fighters. And this bracelet belonged to the man who killed my brother. My brother - Jal Kinell. Who earned his Ogla name by dying bravely in battle. But I, I will never earn my name in life *or* in death. And I have *you* to thank for that!
- [Chakotay is performing the Pakra, a ritual commemorating the anniversary of his father's death]
- Chakotay: A-koo-chee-moya. I pray on this day of memories, to speak to my father - the one whom the wind called... Kolopak. Though I'm far from his bones, perhaps there is a spirit in these unnamed skies who will find him, and honor him with my song. A-koo-chee-moya.
- Chakotay: My people taught me, a man does not own land. He doesn't own anything but the courage and loyalty in his heart. That's where *my* power comes from.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I choose to believe Chakotay made it to that moon.
- Razik: You may not think you're at war with us, Federation Commander Chakotay. But everything you are is a threat to us. The Kazon fought long and hard for their independence from uniforms like yours.
- Chakotay: Uniforms maybe. But not like mine.
- Razik: Your uniforms. Your laws. Your technology. You are not welcome here.
- [Kar was about to kill Chakotay in his sleep, but has backed down at the last moment]
- Chakotay: Why didn't you go through with it?
- Kar: I am a coward.
- Chakotay: I don't believe that. I don't believe you do either. I think maybe you're beginning to realize I'm not your enemy. And only a fool would kill a friend.
- Kar: If you are my friend, then you're my only one.
- Razik: [to Kazon youngsters] You may think I want your friend Kar to die; but you'd be wrong. I've seen too many Ogla die at the hands of our enemies. That is why you must learn there are no second chances in battle. That is why... Kar must die.
- [last lines]
- Chakotay: A-koo-chee-moya. I pray on this day of memories, to speak to my father - the one whom the wind called Kolopak. Father, if you can hear me among these unnamed stars, I ask you to continue to watch over me as you've always done. I ask you also to watch over a boy called Karden, who has a difficult path to travel. A-koo-chee-moya.
- Razik: Let Kar do it this time.
- Haliz: He's not ready!
- Razik: He thinks he is. He's been demanding a chance for weeks to earn his name.
- Haliz: Do you really believe he can do this?
- Razik: Can you honestly say you knew you were ready for your first mission, Haliz? Tell him. Tell him today is the day he will finally be called Ogla.
