Kate Mulgrew: Capt. Kathryn Janeway

Quotes 

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Doesn't it look like Christmas morning in here, Commander?

  Chakotay : You have to admit, the generosity of our guests is very impressive.

  Tuvok : As is their proclivity for criminal behavior. This morning's Security report.

  [he hands Janeway a PADD] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [going through it]  Broken ODN line, some missing personal items, damaged scanner relay - all in all not that bad.

  Tuvok : There is a second page to the report.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [continues reading]  Hmm, some of these incidents ARE a little more serious, but on balance, I still think we did the right thing.

  Tuvok : There is a third page.

  Chakotay : Come on, Tuvok. After all the xenophobic races we've run into, don't you find it just a little refreshing to meet some people who value openness and freedom?

• [Tom Paris and Harry Kim both have black eyes after a visit on a space station] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : A "friendly game?"

  Tom Paris : Well, that's how it started.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I see. Perhaps you could explain to me how this friendly game turned into a street brawl?

  Tom Paris : [clears throat]  Well, Harry and I... wanted to explore the station. Um... we wanted to broaden our understanding of alien cultures, and, uh...

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Skip the recruiting speech. You were looking for a bar.

• [Tom and Harry are answering for turning a Kinbori game into a fistfight] 

  Harry Kim : And then, uh... well, things got a little out of hand.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : "A little out of hand."

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [reading from a PADD]  Seven Voyager crewmen, including two bridge officers, along with thirteen Kinbori and one Morphinian cafe owner, all arrested. The charges range from disorderly conduct to assault on a Security officer.

  Harry Kim : But th... that one's not true.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [sarcastically]  Oh, thank you, Mr. Kim, I'll note that exception in my log. You're both confined to quarters until further notice, AFTER you report to sickbay. That's all.

  [Tom sighs, and the men turn to leave] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Well, didja win?

  Tom Paris : Oh, yes, ma'am.

  Harry Kim : We kicked their... racquets.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : [tangled up by a plant she received as a gift]  The station manager didn't tell me the vines were prehensile. I went to put some water in the pot and it grabbed me!

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : It's got me by the hair!

• Seven of Nine : I do feel compelled to help them. But I am uncertain as to the correct course of action.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Let me ask you something. Do you think of these people... as family?

  Seven of Nine : Is it relevant?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : There's an old saying: "Blood is thicker than water." It means that the ties of family run deeper than any other kind of relationship. We'll often do things for members of our family we'd never dream of doing for anyone else.

• Chakotay : This is a gift from the Kinbori Delegation. I don't know it's name, only that it's used in one of their sacred games - and it's very heavy.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Well, put it down anywhere.
