Quotes 

• The Doctor : If I see you in here again for an exercise-related injury, I'll have to discuss the matter with your superior officer.

  Lieutenant Walter Baxter : [bewildered]  Yes... sir.

  The Doctor : You're fine now. You may leave.

  Lieutenant Walter Baxter : [abashed]  Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

  [leaves] 

  Kes : I don't think he'll make the mistake of ignoring you again.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Many of the crew have complained that the Doctor is brusque, even rude, that he lacks any bedside manner. We've been talking about re-programing him.

  Kes : You can do that? It doesn't seem right.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Kes, he's only a hologram.

  Kes : He's your Medical Officer, he's alive.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : No, he's not.

  Kes : He's self-aware, he's communicative, he has the ability to learn.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Because he's been programed to do that.

  Kes : So because he's a hologram, he doesn't have to be treated with respect, or any consideration at all?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Very well. I'll look into it.

  Kes : Thank you, Captain.

• Kes : [to the Doctor]  Thank you for everything.

  [on the prospect of leaving Voyager - and the Doctor - for good] 

• The Doctor : Captain Janeway has made me realize that I must function as more than an emergency medical replacement. I must think of myself as a... member of the crew.

  Kes : You're absolutely right.
