- Chakotay: [reading from the inscription on the memorial] "Words alone cannot convey the suffering. Words alone cannot prevent what happened here from happening again. Beyond words lies experience. Beyond experience lies truth. Make this truth your own."
- Tom Paris: [after waking up from a violent nightmare] They always said television was a bad influence.
- B'Elanna Torres: [as Tom intently watches a hockey game on TV] It was a shame that we had to cut the lecture short, but the warp core overloaded and then the Borg invaded and...
- [B'Elanna snorts]
- B'Elanna Torres: ...we were all assimilated.
- Tom Paris: [unconcerned] M-hm.
- B'Elanna Torres: You haven't heard a single thing I've said, have you?
- Chakotay: [of Captain Bathar] He's a merchant. Claimed to have a formula that stops the aging process.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Oh, you didn't happen to buy any, did you?
- Chakotay: It was only a tripolymer enzyme. Makes a great shoe polish, though.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: If this massacre really happened, someone is to blame. I wanna be certain that it wasn't us.
- Neelix: Seven... when you were a Borg, you were involved in some... unpleasant activities.
- Seven of Nine: I helped to assimilate millions.
- Neelix: I don't mean to be insensitive, but... do you ever feel shame... about what you did?
- Seven of Nine: Frequently.
- Neelix: How do you manage to keep going, knowing that you've done such horrible things?
- Seven of Nine: I have no choice.
- Neelix: Guilt is irrelevant?
- Seven of Nine: On the contrary. My feelings of remorse help me remember what I did and prevent me from taking similar actions in the future. Guilt can be a difficult but useful emotion.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: We murdered these people!
- Saavdra: In self-defense!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: If that were true you wouldn't be vaporizing the evidence!
- [Chakotay has suggested they shut down the memorial's transmitter that has caused their war memories]
- Neelix: Someone put a lot of time and care into building that transmitter. We can't just deactivate it, we don't have the right!
- Harry Kim: Did they have the right to force us to relive all that?
- Neelix: They wanted others to know what it was like, in the hopes that nothing like it would happen again.
- Chakotay: Why should anyone have to experience an atrocity they didn't commit?
- Neelix: Because that's how you learn not to make the same mistake. If we destroy the evidence, we're no better than Saavdra.
- Neelix: This isn't about logic! It's about remembering!
- Chakotay: Some things are best forgotten.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Not this. I stood by once before and did nothing. Not again.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: The obelisk at Khitomer, the fields of Gettysburg - those were other people's memories, too, but we don't honor them any less. The eighty-two colonists who died here... they deserve their memorial.
- [Janeway, Chakotay, Paris, Kim and Neelix have refitted the memorial with new power cells]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I know this was hardest on the four of you, but if you hadn't stopped at this planet, all the people who died here would have been forgotten, and if they could, I know they'd thank you.
- [Chakotay, Paris, Kim and Neelix return from an away mission with the Delta Flyer]
- Harry Kim: If I ever volunteer for a two-week away mission again, would somebody please confine me to sickbay?
- Chakotay: Too much togetherness for you, Harry?
- Harry Kim: Nothing personal, Commander.
- Neelix: To tell you the truth, I've enjoyed our little junket together. It's given the four of us a chance to bond.
- Harry Kim: The bonding stopped when the sonic shower went offline.
- Neelix: Naomi must be terrified of me... after what happened in the galley.
- Seven of Nine: She's concerned about YOU. She told me she wants to visit you.
- Neelix: No. Not like this.
