Ethan Phillips: Neelix

Quotes 

• Neelix : Coffee, anyone? Captain?

  Capt. Kathryn Janeway : No thanks, I've had enough. One more cup and I'll jump to warp.

• Naomi Wildman : [of Trevis, the tree monster]  He turned out to be very nice. His bark was worse than his bite.

  Neelix : [laughs]  Where did you learn to make such silly puns?

  Naomi Wildman : You.

  Neelix : Oh.

• Harry Kim : How is she?

  Neelix : On the Naomi anxiety scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is a touch of insomnia and 10 is a panic attack - 'bout 5.

• Capt. Kathryn Janeway : I realize you care about Naomi, and you're only trying to protect her, but you've got to tell her the truth.

  Neelix : "Good morning, Naomi. Would you like some papalla juice with your cereal? And, oh, by the way, your mother is buried under thirty kilotons of rock."

• Neelix : When my family was killed, I lost everything. I... still have nightmares. It hasn't been easy. I don't want Naomi to go through what I did.

  Capt. Kathryn Janeway : I understand, and you're right, but this situation is different.

  Neelix : How so?

  Capt. Kathryn Janeway : Naomi has you.

• Naomi Wildman : I don't like sickbay.

  Neelix : Why not?

  Naomi Wildman : It's full of creepy things - alien organs and hyposprays...

  Neelix : Well, that's not true.

  Naomi Wildman : The Doctor talks too much.

  Neelix : Well, that's his way.

  Naomi Wildman : Can't you reprogram him or something?

• Naomi Wildman : [on her mother]  Has anybody talked to her?

  Neelix : Well... n-not in a day or two, but...

  Naomi Wildman : Starfleet Regulation 476-9: "All away teams must report to the bridge at least once every 24 hours."

  Neelix : You really are gonna make an excellent Captain's assistant.

• Neelix : Do you miss your parents?

  Seven of Nine : I barely remember them.

  Neelix : Maybe that's a blessing.

  Cmdr. Chakotay : [over comm]  Rescue Team Alpha to Seven of Nine.

  Seven of Nine : Yes, Commander.

  Cmdr. Chakotay : We need that data.

  Seven of Nine : I will meet you at the transporter site.

  Seven of Nine : [exiting but then turning back to Neelix]  I adapted. The child, Naomi, will adapt as well.

  Neelix : Borg wisdom.

• Neelix : I... I never told you this before; but, when I was much younger, I lost my mom in a terrible war. My father and my sisters, too. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me - always wondering, how did they die? Were they worried about me? Could they still be alive? I thought if I could just keep you from wondering, you wouldn't have to feel what I did.

  Naomi Wildman : You were pretending that nothing was wrong, that nothing bad happened. Do you ever pretend that nothing bad happened to YOUR family?

  Neelix : Sometimes.

  Naomi Wildman : Does it help?

  Neelix : Not really.
