• [Seven blames Torres for being careless with her thoughts] 

  Neelix : B'Elanna's not used to being around telepaths. That doesn't make her guilty.

  Seven of Nine : Then her crime was ignorance - a common affliction among your crew.

  Neelix : What's that supposed to mean?

  Seven of Nine : You make contact with alien species without sufficient understanding of their nature. As a result, Voyager's directive to "seek out new civilizations" often ends in conflict.

  Neelix : What you call ignorance, we call exploration, and... sometimes it means taking a few risks, but it's-it's certainly better than assimilating everything in your path.

  Seven of Nine : Your goal is to share knowledge. Assimilation is the perfect means of attaining that goal.

  Neelix : "Perfect."

• [Neelix is telling Paris about his idea of a romantic evening with his love interest] 

  Tom Paris : Sounds like a good strategy.

  Neelix : Do you really think so? I mean... you used to be quite the ladies' man.

  Tom Paris : Used to be?

  Neelix : Well... well, I mean, you're involved now, so of course you won't be availing yourself of all the beautiful, fascinating and very open-minded Mari women.

  Tom Paris : Neelix, are you trying to depress me?

• Tom Paris : The best advice I can give you is to just be yourself.

  Neelix : Right. Be myself.

  Tom Paris : Actually, that's the second best piece of advice.

  Neelix : What's the first?

  Tom Paris : Go a little easier on the musk.
