• [Tal is examining the shuttle controls] 

  Derran Tal : [pushing a button]  Navigation?

  Harry Kim : Oh-oh, careful! That's the weapons array. You know, you almost vaporized your living quarters.

  Derran Tal : Oh! Well, they could use a good cleaning.

• [Kim is making an unauthorized shuttle flight with Tal, when an alarm goes off] 

  Derran Tal : Problem?

  Harry Kim : Stray radiation from the nebula. I thought it was the proximity alarm.

  Derran Tal : You said we had a couple of hours. No one's gonna come looking for us.

  Harry Kim : Now, you don't know Commander Tuvok. If he sees one electron out of place, he calls for red alert!

• Harry Kim : I've got to be honest, I wasn't expecting something so... different.

  Derran Tal : Neither was I. Our species look so similar. Well, at least on the surface.

  Harry Kim : I would have never guessed when it came down to the basics. Well, let's just say... the birds and bees will be very confused.

  Derran Tal : Birds and bees?

• Harry Kim : Do me one favor.

  Derran Tal : Anything.

  Harry Kim : Next time you run across a class 3 nebula... think of me.

• Derran Tal : Are all Humans so jumpy?

  Harry Kim : No. Only me.

• [after a romantic hour with Tal, Kim is late for duty and hurrying to get into his trousers] 

  Harry Kim : What're you waiting for?

  Derran Tal : To see what you look like in my uniform.

• Derran Tal : If you believe in something strongly enough, you can't ignore it - even if it means breaking a few rules.

  Harry Kim : Well, that's why I took this shuttle. But every time I break a rule, I feel like my skull's gonna decompress.

• Derran Tal : [as Kim stares out of a window]  If you're planning on leaving through the viewport, you might wanna get dressed. The interstellar vacuum might get a little chilly.

• Derran Tal : In fact, I envy your freedom. I mean, your crew's mission - to seek out life - what could be more liberating? You explore the unknown. Don't be afraid to explore what's happening between us.

• Harry Kim : Where would you most like to be, right now?

  Derran Tal : Besides your quarters?

  Harry Kim : Besides my quarters.

  Derran Tal : Hmm... On a distant moon, where the air is warm and the gravity is light. No bulkheads around me. Where, if I walk too quickly, I can almost fly.

• Harry Kim : It's an old story - boy meets girl from the wrong side of the galaxy. Boy loses girl.

  Derran Tal : And girl loses boy.
