Quotes 

• [as The Doctor sings La Donna E Mobile in the mess hall, Tuvok begins to cry] 

  Tom Paris : [quietly]  Tuvok...

  [Tuvok goes from crying to laughing uncontrollably, then grunting, as if in pain] 

  Tom Paris : Tuvok.

  [Tuvok starts thrashing around] 

  Captain Janeway : [clicks her combadge]  Janeway to Security, get a team to the mess hall right away!

  The Doctor : Stand back! He's been seized by the pon farr! A neurochemical imbalance is driving him to mate. We won't be able to reason with him!

  The Doctor : [starts singing to the melody of the music]  Tuvok, I understand / you are a Vulcan man. / You have just gone without / For seven years, about. / Paris, please find a way / To load a hypospray. / I will give you the sign / Just aim for his behind. / Hormones are raging, / Synapses blazing. / It's all so veee-...

  [Tom loads and throws the hypospray to the Doctor, who catches it while sustaining a note] 

  The Doctor : ...hery illogical.

  [injects Tuvok in the butt with the hypospray; Tuvok collapses] 

  The Doctor : [finishing the song]  Illogical. Iii-ll... illogical.

• The Borg : You will be assimilated.

  The Doctor : Over my dead program.

• [last lines] 

  Seven of Nine : Congratulations, Doctor.

  [she kisses him on the cheek] 

  Seven of Nine : That was a platonic gesture. Don't expect me to pose for you.

  The Doctor : Noted.

• The Doctor : The Borg, the Hierarchy, it's all the same to me - just another bully who didn't know when to back off.

• The Doctor : Thank you for this opportunity, Captain. All I've ever wanted was to live up to my full potential, to hone all my skills, expand my abilities, to help the people I love.

• [first lines] 

  The Doctor : Somewhere, in that totality known as the universe, is a galaxy called the Milky Way. Tucked into the corner of that galaxy is a planet named Earth. On that planet is a city called Mantua. Go straight ahead, past the fountain, turn right, then left, and right again. You'll find yourself walking along the water, listening, as a man sings of his beloved's unfaithful heart. And even the fish begin to weep. Quando La Donna E Mobile.

• [while daydreaming, the Doctor walks into a force field] 

  The Doctor : Pardon me, miss.

• The Doctor : Tuvok! Activate the photonic cannon!

  [everyone else looks at each other, stunned] 

  The Doctor : Tuvok, that was an order!

  Tuvok : Activating the photonic cannon... sir.

• The Doctor : Doctor to the bridge. I'm daydreaming again. Somebody deactivate me.

• The Borg : We are the Borg.

  The Doctor : I know very well who you are. Stand down your weapons.

  The Borg : State your designation.

  The Doctor : Emergency Command Hologram, at your service.

  The Borg : Designation unknown.

  The Doctor : Not for long.

• [the crew is monitoring the Doctor's daydreams] 

  The Doctor : Computer, activate the Emergency Command Hologram.

  Harry Kim : This is the part I like.

• The Doctor : [in his daydream]  Computer, activate the ECH.

• The Doctor : I have to save the ship! I have to save the ship!

• Phlox : The Hierarchy does not tolerate mistakes or misinformation. If they learn of my error... I'll lose my livelihood.

  The Doctor : Well, that's what you get for being a peeping Tom.

• The Doctor : He mistakenly informed his superiors that I was in command of Voyager. To keep himself from being demoted, he wants us to maintain that fiction. When they open a channel, I have to be sitting in the captain's chair.
