Quotes 

• Chakotay : It's not an hallucination, not a visionquest. It's a prizefight!

• Chakotay : When I was a boy, my grandfather started seeing things nobody else could see, hearing what nobody else could hear. He refused treatment. A couple of hyposprays a day, that's all he would have needed, but he was stubborn. He said his spirit was in pain, but that the wound must be honored. Crazy old man.

• The Doctor : [treating Chakotay's battered face]  I've got a good mind to use a needle and thread, add a little authenticity to your fun.

  Chakotay : Be my guest.

  The Doctor : You'd like that - a manly scar above your eye. Chakotay, The Maquis Mauler.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Tuvok tells me you've got a mean left jab.

  Chakotay : [laughs]  Never spar with a Vulcan.

• The Doctor : Even if this is some kind of alien communication, it could harm him, permanently.

  [...] 

  Chakotay : Captain! When have we ever turned away from a first contact?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [to the Doctor]  Send him back in the ring.

• [before the fight] 

  Chakotay : I'm afraid.

  Boothby : I know you are. You'd be a liar if you said anything else.

  Chakotay : But I've always been afraid.

  Boothby : I know that too.

• The Doctor : How's the headache?

  Chakotay : It hurts.

• Chakotay : There's nothing like a good fight, Doctor.

• Seven of Nine : The Borg have been aware of this phenomenon for many years. It's a zone where the laws of physics are in a state of flus - 'chaotic space."

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Why didn't sensors warn us in time?

  Seven of Nine : Chaotic space appears randomly and unexpectedly. The Borg have observed it throughout the galaxy

  Tuvok : Then why hasn't a Federation starship encountered anything like this?

  Seven of Nine : No doubt some have.

  Chakotay : Think of all the Strafleet vessels that disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

  Seven of Nine : Borg vessels are more advanced, but only one cube had survived an encounter with chaotic space.

• [first lines] 

  Chakotay : [Chakotay is in hysterics and lying on a bio-bed]  NO! Make them STOP!

  The Doctor : [to Seven]  Anything?

  Seven of Nine : Nothing of relevance. His neural pathways are still fluctuating.

  Tom Paris : Doc! Can't you do something? Look how much he's suffering.

  The Doctor : If I sedate him we could lose any chance of making contact with the aliens!

  Chakotay : Get them OUT!

  The Doctor : Commander, can you hear me? Focus on the sound of my voice!

  Chakotay : I can't understand them! They won't SYOP TALKING!

  The Doctor : What are they saying?

  Chakotay : I DON'T KNOW! MAKE THEM STOP, PLEASE!

• Tuvok : [taking aim at Chakotay's boxing opponent]  Thompson and Sharr, target the midsection. Ensign MacAlister, you and I will aim for the head.

  Chakotay : Set your phasers to kill!

  Boothby : Not exactly the Marquis of Queensberry rules now, is it? "Set to kill?" That's not even Starfleet. Put down the weapons, son.

  Tuvok : Tactical advice from an Academy groundskeeper?
