Chakotay: "Like it or not, it seems we're in a situation where the rules have changed and maybe if we're going to survive out here, we have to start changing too. Starfleet works well in the Alpha Quadrant. But out here, maybe we should be thinking more like the Maquis. The Maquis had to survive on their own. We were up against insurmountable odds. We had to create our own opportunities for success because nobody was willing to help us. Sound like anybody you know?"   
   
Janeway: "I'll destroy this ship before I turn any part of it over to the Kazon." 
   
Chakotay: "Make a deal...an alliance."
Janeway: "With the Kazon?
   
Janeway: "You can't have it both ways, Commander. If you want to get in the middle with the Kazon, you can't start complaining that you might get dirty."   
   
Janeway: "Cullah, I found the idea of an alliance with you distasteful. I was willing to explore the possibility, but now I see my instincts were dead-on. this meeting is over!"
   
Torres: "Who are you to be second-guessing Captain Janeway? The hardest thing you have to worry about is keeping that dilithium chamber filled. She's doing the best she can to get us home, and if you don't like the way she's doing it, I really don't want to hear about it."     
   
Janeway: "The only thing the Kazon agree on now is that we are their common enemy. It's hard to imagine it getting much worse."
   
Cullah: "A woman and a trabe...how can we listen to them?"
   
Mabus: "You're naive, Captain. It's clear that you have no understanding of the harsh realities of this part of space. What I tried to do was done as much for you as it was for us."  
   
Janeway: "In a part of space where there are few rules, it's more important than ever that we hold fast to our own. In a region where shifting allegiances are commonplace, we have to have something stable to rely on. And we do...the principles and ideals of the Federation. As far as I'm concerned, those are the best allies we could have."
