Quotes 

• Human B'Elanna Torres : I grew up in a colony on Kessik IV. My mother and I were the only Klingons there; and... that was a time when... relations between the homeworld and the Federation weren't too cordial. Nobody ever said anything, but... we were different. And I didn't like that feeling. Then, my father left - when I was five years old. One day he was there and the next he wasn't. I cried myself to sleep every night, for months. Of course I never told anybody. And then I finally decided... that he left because I looked like a Klingon. And so I tried to look Human.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : Looks like you finally got what you wanted.

• Lieutenant Tom Paris : [to a Talaxian inmate in a Vidiian prison]  I though those Vidiians were into organ harvesting. How come we're still in one piece?

  Talaxian Prisoner : The disease makes them weak. They need someone to dig they're tunnels. That's us. The best way to stay alive around here... is to stay strong.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : Thanks for the advice.

  Talaxian Prisoner : No, don't thank me. They'll get around to gutting you eventually. There were 23 people from my ship. I'm the last one left.

• Human B'Elanna Torres : I think that... when they extracted my Klingon DNA, they turned me into some kind of... a coward.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : Sometimes fear can be a good thing - keeps you from taking unnecessary chances. Courage doesn't mean that you don't have fear. It means that you've learned to overcome it.

• Lieutenant Tom Paris , Lieutenant Peter Durst : [respectively, to each other]  They're the ones with the guns, remember?
