• [last lines] 

  Human B'Elanna Torres : I do know that right now - the way I am... I'm more at peace with myself than I've ever been before. And that's a *good* feeling.

  Commander Chakotay : But?

  Human B'Elanna Torres : I'm incomplete. It doesn't feel like me. I guess I've had someone else living inside of me for too long to feel right without her.

  Commander Chakotay : I'd have to say that you two made quite a team down there.

  Human B'Elanna Torres : I know. I came to admire a lot of things about her. Her strength - her bravery... I guess, I just have to accept the fact that I'll spend the rest of my life fighting with her.

• Klingon B'Elanna Torres : [to her Human counterpart]  You showed true courage. It makes my death an honorable one.

  [dies] 

• 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.

• Klingon B'Elanna Torres : I know I'm the first Klingon you've ever seen. So I'll tell you that Klingons find honor as warriors on the battlefield - not as guinea pigs in a laboratory!

• Klingon B'Elanna Torres : Did you know that Klingon females are renowned in the Alpha Quadrant not only for their physical prowess, but for their... voracious sexual appetites as well? Why not let your creation out of her harness? Study her in action?

• Sulan : [Comes into the science lab with a human face grafted over his]  I thought that this might make you feel more comfortable?

  Klingon B'Elanna Torres : You killed him!

• 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.

• [while trying to contact the ship, Torres is seized by two Vidiian guards] 

  Human B'Elanna Torres : Where are you taking me?

  Guard #1 : For a shower and a hot meal!

• Klingon B'Elanna Torres : It's going to take more than an infection to kill me!

• Human B'Elanna Torres : [to her Klingon counterpart]  That's the way you respond to every situation, isn't it? If it doesn't work, hit it; if it's in your way, knock it down. No wonder I got kicked out of the Academy.
