• Chakotay : Couldn't we just extract their violent subroutines?

  B'Elanna Torres : [assuming]  It's possible.

  The Doctor : That would be like declawing a cat. We'd be taking away any chance they have of defending themselves!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : We'd also be preventing them from doing any more harm.

  The Doctor : You wouldn't even be considering this if they were flesh and blood!

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I'm not gonna let you turn this into an argument about holographic rights.

  The Doctor : Why not? That's exactly what it is.

• Chakotay : [on the dead Hirogen found on a Hirogen training facility]  Most of them were killed by facsimiles of Alpha Quadrant weapons - Romulan disruptors, Klingon bat'leths...

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Starfleet phasers?

  Chakotay : I think we'll find they all came from the holo-technology we gave the Hirogen three years ago.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : They obviously missed the point. We gave them that technology so they could hunt holographic prey, not get themselves killed.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : I could accept that the Doctor has sympathy for these... people, but I can't accept that he would deliberately risk the lives of this entire crew. We're his family.

  Chakotay : Maybe that's how he started to think of these holograms.
