Quotes
-
Captain Janeway : Four years ago I released you from prison and gave you a fresh start. Until now you've been a fine officer; your service on this ship has been exemplary. I really believed you were past this kind of conduct.
Lt. Tom Paris : I've never been very good at playing by the rules. That doesn't mean that serving under your command hasn't changed me - for the better. At least, this time I broke the rules for a reason, for something I believed in.
Captain Janeway : I admire your principles, Tom, but I can't ignore what you've done.
-
Lt. Tom Paris : Ah, boson. Ready to shove off?
Seven of Nine : What are you talking about, Lieutenant?
Lt. Tom Paris : Call me 'Skipper.'
Harry Kim : [repeating Tom's earlier words] Sailor talk. Eh, you'll get used to it.
Seven of Nine : I think not.
-
[the Doctor treats Paris, who has knocked his head during abrupt flight maneuvers]
The Doctor : There we are.
Tom Paris : That's it? Aren't you gonna run a neurological scan? Maybe I should be granted a medical reprieve.
The Doctor : Your injury was what Naomi Wildman refers to as a 'boo-boo.'
-
Tom Paris : So, did you ask the warden about those holodeck privileges?
Neelix : Uh, she said, and I quote: "Tell Mr. Paris this is punishment, not shore leave."
Tom Paris : Was worth a try.
Neelix : Well, see you next meal.
Tom Paris : Wait, leaving already? Uh... pull up a chair. Stay awhile.
Neelix : Sorry. "No non-essential conversation with the prisoner."
Tom Paris : Do the words 'cruel' and 'unusual' mean anything to her? I'm telling you, Neelix, the inmates are getting restless. She's gonna have a full-blown prison riot on her hands.
[Paris is the only prisoner in the brig]

[last lines]
Tom Paris : [in his letter to his father] "I honestly don't know if I'll ever understand you, or what went wrong between us, but I hope this letter helps you understand me a little better." Computer, file letter in my personal database, and transmit when we're within range of Earth.
-
Lt. Tom Paris : Well, you've done it again, Harry.
Harry Kim : What?
Lt. Tom Paris : Fallen for the unattainable woman. First it was a hologram, then a Borg, and now the wrong twin.
Harry Kim : At least I'm consistent.
-
[Paris is unsure whether to finish his letter to his father]
Harry Kim : You'll feel better getting it off your chest.
Tom Paris : Are you bucking for ship's counselor, Harry?
Harry Kim : What're you gonna do? Delete the letter? THAT would be pointless.
Tom Paris : At least I'm consistent.
Harry Kim : Tom...
Tom Paris : [firmly] Thanks for the visit, Harry.
Harry Kim : [leaving] See you in fourteen.
Harry Kim : [once outside the brig] What was it you once told me, that your father used to say you never finished anything?
-
Tom Paris : They're the Delaney sisters, Harry. They're twins.
Harry Kim : Are you kidding? They're nothing alike. Jenny's aggressive and sometimes annoying, but Megan, she's quiet, artistic, and she's got that cute little dimple in her right cheek.
Tom Paris : [confused] Jenny doesn't have the dimple?
Harry Kim : No dimple.
-
Tom Paris : You don't understand what it's like being down here all day every day. I'm going crazy.
The Doctor : Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the idea?
-
Lt. Tom Paris : Thanks, but Captain Proton's not gonna be able to save the day this time, is he?
B'Elanna Torres : What about Tom Paris?
-
Lt. Tom Paris : Those structures, what are they?
Riga : It's our main oxygen refinery and desalination plant.
Seven of Nine : [analyzing] Corrosion-resistant alloys; variable density ballast. An efficient design.
Harry Kim : That means she's impressed.
