Quotes
-
Seven of Nine : You would deny us the choice as you deny us now. You have imprisoned us in the name of humanity yet you will not grant us your most cherished human right - to choose our own fate. You are hypocritical, manipulative. We do not want to be what you are. Return us to the Collective!
Captain Janeway : You lost the capacity to make a rational choice the moment you were assimilated. They took that from you. And until I am convinced you've gotten it back, I'm making the choice for you. You're staying here.
Seven of Nine : Then you are no different from the Borg.
-
Tom Paris : Well, Harry and I wanted to explore the station. We wanted to broaden our understanding of alien cultures and...
Captain Janeway : Skip the recruiting speech, you were looking for a bar.
-
Captain Janeway : Mind melds... the last time I heard the words "my mind to your mind", I had a headache for two weeks.
-
[Last line of the series]
Captain Janeway : Set a course for home.
-
Captain Janeway : Dismissed. That's a Starfleet expression for "get out".
-
Captain Janeway : There are three things to remember about being a starship captain: Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew.
-
Chakotay : ...If Neelix has another Talent Night I hope you'll reprise it.
Captain Janeway : Oh no, not until certain other people take their turn, the ship's first officer, for instance.
Chakotay : Me, get up in front of people and perform? I don't think so.
Captain Janeway : Come on, Chakotay. There must be some talent you have that people would enjoy. Maybe I could stand with an apple on my head and you could phaser it off.
Chakotay : Sounds great. If I miss I get to be captain.
-
[When attacked by a fleet of small ships]
Captain Kathryn Janeway : It's like being pecked to death by ducks.
-
Captain Janeway : We're Starfleet officers. Weird is part of the job.
-
[20th century clothes]
Captain Janeway : What will we need to pass as locals in this century?
Tom Paris : Simple. Nice clothes, fast car, and LOTS of money.
-
Captain Janeway : Mr Kim, can you give me an estimate on repairing the dilithium matrix?
Harry Kim : How does 72 hours sound?
Captain Janeway : Like 24 hours too long.
-
Captain Janeway : I have a boyfriend that malfunctions.
-
Captain Janeway : Who wanted to muck around in the dirt when you could be studying quantum mechanics?
-
[In reference to the Qomar]
Tuvok : They are interfering with normal ship business.
Captain Janeway : Since when has business on this ship ever been normal?
-
Captain Janeway : I won't be your prisoner. You'll have to kill me.
VoyagerComputer : Acknowledged.
-
Seven of Nine : Take me back to my own kind!
Captain Janeway : You ARE with your own kind - humans.
Seven of Nine : I don't remember being human. I don't know what it is to be human!
-
[Talking about the hologram she has become interested in]
Captain Janeway : You know the story. Girl meets boy, girl changes boy's subroutines.
-
Captain Janeway : Doctor, I forgot about you.
The Doctor : How flattering.
-
Chakotay : Captain.
Captain Janeway : Is there something wrong?
Chakotay : I wanted to talk to you about Lieutenant Paris. His attitude lately has been less than professional.
Captain Janeway : I've noticed.
Chakotay : I know crew discipline's my responsibility, but in this case I thought I should let you get involved before I took any action. In a way, Paris has been your personal reclamation project.
Captain Janeway : I appreciate your bringing this to my attention, Commander, but I trust you to handle the problem any way you see fit.

Seven of Nine : [Janeway and Seven are behind a forcefield on the bridge of the Dauntless, an alien ship disguised as a Starfleet vessel with Arturis, their deceiver at the helm] Where are you taking us?
Arturis : [without turning around] Home.
Captain Janeway : How'd you create the Starfleet Bridge? Holograms?
Arturis : Particle synthesis. Beyond your understanding.
Captain Janeway : Is this what your people do? Prey on innocent ships?
Arturis : Innocent? Typical of Captain Janeway... self-righteous.
Captain Janeway : [that gives Janeway pause for thought] If I've offended you or your people in some way... please tell me.
Arturis : [wheeling around] Diplomacy, Captain? Your diplomacy destroyed my world!
Captain Janeway : [aghast] What? What are you saying?
Arturis : [slowly approaches them both] You negotiated an agreement with the Borg Collective - safe passage through they're space... and in return, you helped them defeat one of they're enemies.
Seven of Nine : Species 8472.
Arturis : In your colourful language, yes... Species 8472.
[back to Janeway]
Arturis : Did it ever occur to you that there were those of us in the Delta Quadrant with a vested interest in that war?
[months of suppressed anger now comes pouring out of him]
Arturis : Victory would have meant annihilation of the Borg... but you couldn't see beyond the bow of your own ship!
Captain Janeway : In my estimation, Species 8472 posed a greater threat than the Borg.
Arturis : Who were you to make that decision? A stranger to this quadrant!
Captain Janeway : There wasn't exactly time to take a poll - I had to act quickly.
Arturis : My people managed to elude the Borg for centuries. Outwitting them... always one step ahead. But in recent years, the Borg began to weaken our defences... they were closing in... and Species 8472 was our last hope to defeat them. You took that away from us! The outer colonies were the first to fall. 23 in a matter of hours. Our sentry vessels tossed aside... no defence against the storm... and by the time they had surrounded our star system... hundreds of Cubes... we had already surrendered to our own terror. A few of us managed to survive. 10... 20,000. I was fortunate. I escaped with a vessel. Alone... but alive.
[pointing at Seven but still talking to Janeway]
Arturis : I don't blame them. They were just drones... acting with they're collective instinct. You... you had a choice!
Captain Janeway : [more sympathetic now] I'm sorry for what happened to your people but try to understand... I couldn't have known.
Arturis : It took me months to find you. I watched... and waited for my opportunity to make you pay for what you'd done. Then, the Starfleet message... and I knew that you're selfish desire to get home would surface again. That I could lure you to this vessel... that I could see to it that you'd all be assimilated and spend the rest of eternity as Borg. I was hoping to get your entire crew... but I'll settle for the two of you.
[he returns to the helm]
Arturis : In a matter of hours, this ship will return to my homeworld... inside Borg space.
Seven of Nine : When that happens, you will be assimilated as well.
Arturis : That's irrelevant.
[to Seven]
Arturis : This is what you wanted all along, isn't it... to go back to your Collective? You should thank me.
[focuses all his attention on piloting the Dauntless now, oblivious to a worried Janeway and a pensive Seven]

B'Elanna Torres : [last lines in "Barge of the Dead"] Mother? Oh god, I'm alive!
[throws her arms around Janeway]
Captain Janeway : [hugs B'Elanna] Welcome back.
-
Captain Janeway : [tapping her comm badge after the ship shakes] Janeway to Bridge.
Chakotay : We're under attack, Captain.
Captain Janeway : I'm on my way.
Leonardo da Vinci hologram : Earthquakes... and idiots.
Leonardo da Vinci hologram : Florence be damned.
