Quotes 

• Q : I know that you're probably asking yourself "Why would a brilliant, handsome, dashingly omnipotent being like Q want to mate with a scrawny little bipedal specimen like me?"

  Captain Janeway : Let me guess: no one else in the universe will have you!

  Q : Nonsense! I could have chosen a Klingon targ; the Romulan Empress; a Cyrillian microbe.

  Captain Janeway : Really? I beat out a single-celled organism? How flattering!

• Q : Besides, you have no idea what you're missing. Foreplay with a Q can last for decades.

  Captain Janeway : Sorry, but I'm busy for the next sixty or seventy years.

• Captain Janeway : [seeing the Q mate, merely by the touch of their index fingers]  That was it?

  Q : You had your chance. Don't go crying about it now.

• Q : I look at the universe in an entirely different way now. I mean, I can't go around causing temporal anomalies or subspace inversions without considering the impact it'll have on my son.

  Captain Janeway : I'm glad to hear you intend to set a good example.

  Q : By the way, did I tell you how smart he is? I've already taught him how to knock small planets out of orbit.

• Q : [referring to Chakotay]  I was wondering, Kathy, what could anyone possibly see in this big oaf anyway? Is it the tattoo? Because MINE'S BIGGER!

  Captain Janeway : Not big enough.

• Q : [about the civil war of the Q]  It's terrible, isn't it? But it's also a wonderful opportunity.

  Captain Janeway : I fail to see anything wonderful about a war.

  Q : War can be an engine of change. War can transform a society for the better. Your own Civil War brought about an end to slavery and oppression.

• Captain Janeway : I want you out, but first, get rid of this bed.

  Q : I've no intention of getting between those Starfleet-issue sheets. They give me a terrible rash!

  Captain Janeway : Well - since you won't be getting in the bed, I wouldn't worry about it.

• Q : Oh, I see. This is one of those silly human rituals - you're playing hard to get.

  Captain Janeway : As far as you're concerned, Q, I'm impossible to get.

  Q : Goody! A challenge! This is going to be fun!

• Q : Oh, Kathy, don't be such a prude. Admit it - it has been a while.

  Captain Janeway : And it's gonna be a while longer.

• Q : I want you to help me transform the Continuum in the same way your Civil War transformed a nation.

  Captain Janeway : By mating with you?

  Q : I know - it's brilliant, isn't it?

• Captain Janeway : I don't see how a baby is going to end a war being fought by a race of omnipotent being!

• Captain Janeway : The only thing that interests me right now is the welfare of my ship and crew.

  Q : [referring to Chakotay]  Well, I'm sure your first officer - "Chuckles," is it? - I'm sure he's got everything under control for the moment.
