Quotes 

• [Tuvok has used the Vulcan neck pinch on Commander Rand to obtain her clothes] 

  Captain Janeway : We could have just asked her.

  Tuvok : Asking female officers for their clothing could lead to misunderstanding.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Mr. Tuvok, if I didn't know you better, I'd say you miss those days on the Excelsior.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : On the contrary. I do not experience feelings of nostalgia, but there are times when I think back to those days, of meeting Kirk, Spock and the others, and I am pleased that I was part of it.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : In a funny way... I feel like I was a part of it, too.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : Then perhaps you can be nostalgic for both of us.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : It was a very different time, Mr. Kim. Captain Sulu, Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy - they all belonged to a different breed of Starfleet officer. Imagine the era they lived in: the Alpha Quadrant still largely unexplored, Humanity on verge of war with Klingons, Romulans hiding behind every nebula. Even the technology we take for granted was still in its early stages: no plasma weapons, no multiphasic shields; their ships were half as fast.

  Ensign Harry Kim : No replicators; no holodecks. You know, ever since I took Starfleet history at the Academy, I always wondered what it would be like to live in those days.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Space must have seemed a whole lot bigger back then. It's not surprising they had to bend the rules a little. They were a little slower to invoke the Prime Directive, and a little quicker to pull their phasers. Of course, the whole bunch of them would be booted out of Starfleet today, but I have to admit I would have loved to ride shotgun at least once with a group of officers like that.

• Tuvok : I've observed that Captain Sulu drinks a cup of tea each morning. I thought he might enjoy a Vulcan blend.

  Commander Janice Rand : Oh, I see. Trying to make lieutenant in your first month? I wish I'd have thought of that when I was your age. Took me three years just to make ensign.

  Tuvok : I assure you, I have no ulterior motive.

  Commander Janice Rand : Whatever you say, Ensign. See you on the bridge.

  [leaves] 

  Captain Janeway : You've never brought ME tea.

• The Doctor : I think we may be dealing with a repressed memory. The memory engrams in the dorsal region of the hippocampus are being disrupted. It's causing physical damage to the surrounding tissue. In Vulcan medicine this is known as t'lokan schism. It means that the subject is inhibiting a traumatic memory, which is beginning to resurface.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : And that's causing brain damage?

  The Doctor : Strange, I know. In human subjects, repressed memories are nothing more than psychological traumas, which can be dealt with with standard trerapeutic techniques, but in Vulcans there is a physical reaction to the battle between conscious and the unconscious. In extreme cases, the mind of the patient can literally... lobotomize itself.
