- The Doctor: [to Tuvok] With all of these new personalities floating around, it's a shame we can't find one for you.
- [Torres reacts warily when seeing Seven in Engineering]
- Seven of Nine: Don't worry, Lieutenant; the son of K'Vok will not be joining us.
- B'Elanna Torres: Glad to hear it. Does this qualify as our second date?
- The Doctor: Just think of me as your chaperon.
- The Doctor: Has any drone ever experienced symptoms like these before?
- Seven of Nine: The Collective does not tolerate imperfection. Any drone with a malfunction as serious as mine would be destroyed immediately.
- The Doctor: Lucky for you, this crew is a little more tolerant.
- [Seven doesn't feel well]
- Neelix: [to Seven] I have some wonderful medicinal teas. Maybe I could prepare one for you.
- The Doctor: Talaxian homeopathy. I don't think we're quite that desperate yet.
- [Seven is experiencing another personality disorder]
- Seven of Nine: Name your price. Captain...?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Janeway. And you are?
- Seven of Nine: DaiMon Torrot.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: You're Ferengi.
- Seven of Nine: Of course I'm Ferengi! Is that some kind of insult about the size of my ears?
- Chakotay: Meet anyone interesting?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Just finished swapping jokes with a Bolian manicurist. Before that, I was debating the finer points of temporal physics with a Krenim scientist.
- [on Seven's multiple personalities]
- The Doctor: [on Vulcan mind meld] Captain, you can't actually be considering this Vulcan mumbo-jumbo!
- Seven of Nine: [catching Naomi, who has been following her, off-guard] Naomi Wildman, sub-unit of Ensign Samantha Wildman, state your intentions.
- Naomi Wildman: [startled] I... I...
- Seven of Nine: Very well, you leave me no choice but to report your activities to the Captain.
- Naomi Wildman: Please don't. I was just... observing you.
- Seven of Nine: Explain.
- Naomi Wildman: Well, Neelix told me that the Borg do a lot of things they do because they're trying to be perfect. And even though you're not really a drone anymore, you still try to be perfect. Don't you?
- Seven of Nine: Correct.
- Naomi Wildman: Well, if I can learn to be perfect too, then Captain Janeway will have to make me her bridge assistant.
- Seven of Nine: No such rank exists aboard this vessel.
- Naomi Wildman: Not yet.
- [last lines]
- Seven of Nine: I require your assistance.
- Naomi Wildman: [amazed] Me?
- Seven of Nine: I wish to participate in recreational activities.
- Naomi Wildman: Great.
- Seven of Nine: Kadis-kot. Instruct me how to play.
- Naomi Wildman: I will comply.
- [Neelix hands Seven a drawing]
- Neelix: It's from Naomi Wildman. It's a drawing of Voyager. Or... maybe it's an asteroid belt. I'm not sure.
- Neelix: It seems we had another incident in the mess hall last night.
- B'Elanna Torres: Return of the midnight snacker?
- Seven of Nine: When you took me from the Borg and began to turn me into an individual, I found the silence of my own mind difficult to bear. I missed the voices of the Collective, but now that I am an individual, those same voices... frighten me.
- [the Doctor is fitting Tuvok with a cortical inhibitor]
- The Doctor: This will allow me to monitor your neural activity for the duration of the meld. At the first sign of trouble...
- Tuvok: You will do nothing.
- The Doctor: I beg your pardon?
- Tuvok: There will undoubtedly be many signs of trouble. You must have faith in my ability to endure them.
- The Doctor: I'll try. I just hope my faith doesn't leave the two of you brain damaged.
- Seven of Nine: [recognizing the source of the Borg interlink frequency] It's a Borg vinculum.
- Cmdr. Chakotay: Vinculum?
- Seven of Nine: The processing device at the core of every Borg vessel. It interconnects the minds of all the drones. It purges individual thought and disseminates information relevant to the Collective.
- Capt. Kathryn Janeway: It brings order to chaos.
- Seven of Nine: Precisely.
- Capt. Kathryn Janeway: Looks like this one has established a link to your cortical implant.
- Seven of Nine: I believe it has identified me as an errant drone. It is attempting to reintegrate me into the Collective. The vinculum is malfunctioning. It is sending me erratic commands.
- Lt. Tuvok: Bringing chaos to order.
- Naomi Wildman: I'll be bridge assistant for a while, then I'll be promoted to ensign. It'll be lieutenant after that, and by the time we reach the Alpha Quadrant - Captain Wildman.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [referring to Seven] Keep a close eye on her, Doctor, in case she has any more unexpected 'visitors'.
- Seven of Nine: The members of this crew put themselves at risk to help me. I am unsure how to reciprocate.
- Capt. Kathryn Janeway: Let's start with something small, like a recalibration of the EPS manifolds.
- The Doctor: It was hardly your fault. You're ill.
- Seven of Nine: Irrelevant. I am Borg. I should be able to adapt.
- The Doctor: Surprise. You aren't invincible. I suppose that's something we'll have to tackle in our next social lesson.
- [Seven hands over star charts and sociological data for Naomi Wildman to study]
- Seven of Nine: As Bridge Assistant, you will find this information relevant.
- Naomi Wildman: Consider it assimilated.
