• Clown : [to Harry and B'Elanna]  If you leave, one of them will die! One of them will die. Try it and see. If you leave...

  [points at the Kohl physician] 

  Clown : ...he dies.

  Viorsa : He can do it. He's already killed two of our colleagues.

  Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : How is that possible?

  Clown : I cut off their heads.

  Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres : But none of this is real!

  Clown : Of course it's real. It's as real as a nightmare.

  Ensign Harry Kim : The two we found dead both suffered from massive heart attacks.

  Clown : Heart attack. Now, what might cause a heart attack? Hmm. Unmanageable stress, perhaps? Unmanageable fear? The fear of losing a head, perhaps?

  Ensign Harry Kim : You scared them to death.

  [the Clown takes a bow] 

• Viorsa : I deeply regret very much what has happened to you. You came to help. You didn't deserve this. I regret so many things.

  Ensign Harry Kim : Look, we don't have time for regret. My people are working on a way right now to get us out of here, and we have to help them if we can.

  Viorsa : You'll leave hope behind after a few months of this.

  [the Clown laughs hysterically with the executioner] 

  Ensign Harry Kim : Why does he do it?

  Physician : We're his canvas, his blocks of marble. With us he practices his ghastly art.
