Quotes 

• Marayna : Are you two friends?

  Lieutenant Tuvok : [simultaneously]  No.

  Ensign Harry Kim : [simultaneously]  Yes.

• [at the luau] 

  Marayna : You're the only one here not wearing a garland.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : Given the decor, it seems somehow excessive.

  Marayna : I don't believe you.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : I beg your pardon?

  Marayna : I think you're trying to isolate yourself and make a public protest at the same time.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : Explain.

  Marayna : You didn't want to be here in the first place. Being the only one without a lei sets you apart from the others, allowing you to symbolically maintain your solitude; and, since everybody can see that you're the only one without a lei, you're letting them know that you'd rather be somewhere else.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : [impressed]  Your logic is impeccable.

• Marayna : There's a luau tonight. You're coming, aren't you? Both of you?

  Lieutenant Tuvok : No.

  Ensign Harry Kim : Yes.

  Marayna : You've got to stop doing that.

• Marayna : Imagine this: that you - with your logic and your reason - are skimming atop endless waves of emotion. You believe you're in control, but you know that control is an illusion. You believe that you understand the depths beneath you, but that, too, is an illusion.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : I can see why Ensign Kim finds you... compelling.

• Marayna : But what about you, Tuvok? Will you always be alone?

• Marayna : Ready to get your ears wet?

  Lieutenant Tuvok : Vulcans do not hydro-sail.
