Neelix:
"The
morale of the crew will suffer if we leave them behind."
Tuvok:
"Not if, Mr. Neelix. When, we leave them
behind.
The decision has been made."

Janeway:
"Maybe you should call me Kathryn."
Chakotay:
"Give me a few days on that one, okay?" |
|
|
|
Janeway:
"Building? What could you be building? And why can't you
tell me?"
Chakotay:
"You can't stand it, can you? You're like a little kid
wheedling!" |

Janeway:
"This is Kathryn Janeway. I've never liked saying
goodbye, so I'll make this brief. But I want you all to
know that serving as your captain has been the most
extraordinary experience of my life. No captain can ask
for more than what this crew has given...bravery,
compassion and strength in character. But I think what
I'll miss most is the fun...the times we joked together,
the games on the holodeck. I'll remember the laughter
more than anything. Although Commander Chakotay and I
won't be with you for the rest of your journey, we know
you'll be the same steadfast crew for Mr. Tuvok as you
have been for us. We wish you a safe and speedy journey
home. Our thoughts will be with you. Janeway out." |

Tuvok:
"Ensign, you are relieved of duty. Leave the bridge at
once or I will have you put in the brig." |
|
|
|
Chakotay:
"I can't sacrifice the present waiting for a future that
may never happen." |

Kim:
"Sir, I think you should know how many people on this
ship disagree with you. Everyone I talk to thinks we
should give this a try."
Tuvok:
"The people you talked to do not have the
responsibility of commanding this vessel. I do. The
safety this crew is paramount, and I must do whatever I
can to ensure that safety."
Kim:
"But if we're willing to take the risk in
order to help the Captain..."
Tuvok:
"Ensign, I'm going to say this once and
once only. If you ever question my orders again, you
will be relieved of duty permanently. The next words I
expect to hear from you are "Yes, Sir"."
Kim:
"Yes. Sir!"

Tuvok:
"If you are suggesting that I am not sensitive to the
situation, nothing could be further from the truth. I
have lost a valued friend. I am not immune to the
effects of that loss."
Kes:
"Then try to imagine what it's like for those
of us who feel things deeply." |

Chakotay:
"I'm not sure I can define parameters... but I can tell
you a story. An ancient legend among my people about a
angry warrior who live his life in conflict with the
rest of his tribe. A man who couldn't find peace, even
with the help of his spirit guide. For years, he
struggled with his discontent, but the only satisfaction
he ever got came when he was in battle. This made him a
hero among his tribe. But the warrior still longed for
peace within himself. One day he and his war party were
captured by a neighboring tribe led by a woman warrior.
She called on him to join her, because her tribe was too
small and weak to defend itself form all its enemies.
The woman warrior was brave and beautiful and very wise.
The angry warrior swore to himself that he would stay by
her side, doing whatever he could to make her burden
lighter. From that point on, her needs would come first.
And in that way, the warrior began to know the true
meaning of peace."

Janeway:
"Is that really an ancient legend?"
Chakotay:
"No. But it made it easier to say." |
