Tim Russ: Lt. Tuvok

Quotes 

• Neelix : I'm not a fighter. I'm just a cook - who sometimes imagines himself to be a diplomat.

  Tuvok : On the contrary, Mr. Neelix, you are much more than that. You are perhaps the most resourceful individual I have ever known.

• Neelix : I'm gonna make it my personal mission to get you to dance at least once before we reach Earth.

  Tuvok : Then I suggest you find a more productive hobby.

  Tom Paris : If you two don't stop it, I'm gonna come back there and separate you.

• Neelix : In honor of the 315th anniversary of his ancestors' arrival on Earth, I've asked Mr. Tuvok to recite the first words spoken to humans by a Vulcan. Commander?

  Tuvok : Is this really necessary?

  Neelix : You promised.

  Tuvok : Very well.

  [he performs the Vulcan salute] 

  Tuvok : "Live long and prosper."

• Tuvok : [at a First Contact Day celebration party]  Vulcans do not dance.

  Neelix : But it's tradition.

  Tuvok : There is no tradition, Mr. Neelix. This ceremony is entirely your invention.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : This is an official ship function, Commander. Don't make me order you to dance.

• Tuvok : Vulcans don't experience fear.

  [on Neelix' notion that Tuvok was afraid to dance in front of a crowd] 

• [last lines] 

  Tuvok : Mr. Neelix...

  [steps forward and executes a dance-like wiggling with his foot] 

  Tuvok : Live long and prosper.

• Tuvok : [to Neelix]  You do have some annoying habits; however, during your time on Voyager, you've developed many valuable skills, skills that would serve you well if you ever decided to assume a leadership role.
