Jeri Ryan: Seven of Nine

Quotes 

• [Ensign Kim is in command of the Nightingale] 

  Seven of Nine : I've discovered a serious flaw in one of the ship's systems.

  Harry Kim : Which one?

  Seven of Nine : The Captain.

  [Kim looks at her consternated] 

  Seven of Nine : The captain's main function is to issue orders, correct?

  Harry Kim : Right.

  Seven of Nine : And the crew's function is to support the captain and carry out those orders.

  Harry Kim : What's your point?

  Seven of Nine : Every time you give an order, you carry it out yourself. And when someone else makes a suggestion, you dismiss it.

  Harry Kim : These people are inexperienced. They need my help.

  Seven of Nine : When you first came aboard Voyager, did Captain Janeway help you?

  Harry Kim : Sure, she looked after all the junior officers.

  Seven of Nine : By doing your work for you.

  Harry Kim : No. She gave me a lot to do, actually.

  Seven of Nine : Because she felt you were more capable than she was.

  Harry Kim : Of course not. She wanted me to learn, to gain confidence.

  Seven of Nine : Interesting.

• Harry Kim : This is a military mission. We can't get involved.

  Seven of Nine : We've been involved since you first fired on that Annari ship.

  Harry Kim : I thought I was helping people in distress!

  Seven of Nine : Don't they still need your help? Are you abandoning this ship because the mission wasn't what you expected or because being a captain wasn't what you expected?

• Neelix : Didn't we already scan this nebula?

  Seven of Nine : Four times.

  Harry Kim : I thought the Borg were known for being thorough.

  Seven of Nine : The Borg value efficiency, not redundancy.

• Harry Kim : I should've stuck to playing Buster Kincaid.

  Seven of Nine : A holodeck program can be turned off when it no longer suits you. Reality can't.

• Neelix : Oh, I was dreaming we found the dilithium 'n' were back aboard Voyager.

  Seven of Nine : Dreaming is an accurate description.

• Seven of Nine : [to Ensign Kim]  If you really feel responsible for this crew, you'll help them get home, because they won't survive without you.
