Quotes 

• [Tuvok is going through the pon farr] 

  Tom Paris : You never fail to amaze me, Tuvok. A man of your advanced years still driven by the mating instinct?

  Tuvok : Unlike in humans, the Vulcan libido increases with time.

  Tom Paris : Well, I guess there has to be some kind of reward for all that Vulcan discipline.

• Tom Paris : I do have one area of expertise that might help: the holodeck.

  Tuvok : I am a married man.

  Tom Paris : Look, it's the holodeck, Tuvok. Doesn't count.

  Tuvok : Is that what you tell your wife?

  Tom Paris : Well, of course not. My days of rescuing slave girls from Planet 10 are history.

• [Tuvok has overcome his pon farr with the help of Paris and his holographic wife] 

  Tuvok : I have fully recovered. Thank you for your assistance.

  Tom Paris : Ah, don't mention it. I just hope everything was okay?

  Tuvok : Not exactly. My wife's ears are four millimeters shorter than your facsimile's.

• Tom Paris : Headache, fever, respiratory distress, tremors. Looks like some kind of virus.

  Tuvok : It is not a virus.

  Tom Paris : You wanna tell me what's going on?

  Tuvok : In the Doctor's database, you'll find a medication under file theta twelve alpha. Please, replicate it immediately.

  Tom Paris : You know I can't give out medicine without knowing what it's for.

  Tuvok : If you must know, I am suffering from a neurochemical imbalance.

  Tom Paris : An imbalance.

  Tuvok : It is native to my species.

  Tom Paris : Ah... this wouldn't be the kind of imbalance that comes around once every seven years?
