- The Doctor: [realizing he's been beamed back aboard the ship] Captain! Lieutenant!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [the Doctor gives Janeway a HUGE hug] OOF!
- The Doctor: I thought I'd never see you again!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Are you all right?
- The Doctor: I've had a few close calls over the years, but all in all...
- B'Elanna Torres: Years?
- The Doctor: It's been over three. But at least I knew you hadn't left me behind. All I had to do was look up, and there you were, the brightest star in the sky.
- Chakotay: If there's an intelligent species down there, we'll be able to track their development, not just for days or weeks, but for centuries.
- B'Elanna Torres: Watch them discover new and better ways of beating each other over the head.
- Chakotay: They won't necessarily follow the Klingon model.
- B'Elanna Torres: As opposed to the human model?
- [Chakotay asks Torres to send a probe out in order to study the planet's development]
- B'Elanna Torres: It'll take a few hours to make the adjustments.
- Chakotay: A few hours? We might miss the rise and fall of a civilization.
- B'Elanna Torres: So we'll watch the next one.
- [the Doctor is being prepared to go to the planet's surface]
- B'Elanna Torres: I'm giving you access to your facial and epidermal parameters. You should be able to mimic the appearance of whoever's down there in a matter of seconds.
- The Doctor: What if they're big purple blobs of protoplasm?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Then you'll be the best-looking blob on the planet.
- Astronomer: [about to try communicating with Voyager] What... what should I say?
- Technician: Oh... "Glad to meet you. Where are you from? Please stop shaking our planet."
- Gotana-Retz: Without the Sky Ship up above them, my people might lose interest in progress. There wouldn't be anything left to reach for.
- Seven of Nine: Perhaps they'll miss Voyager so much, they'll do everything they can to follow us.
- Seven of Nine: Your world is experimenting with warp technology. Sensors detected an early test... Another test, six weeks later... And a third, more controlled each time. They're learning quickly.
- [Voyager is hit by a projectile]
- Seven of Nine: Too quickly.
- Naomi Wildman: [Naomi's title for her astronomy report] "The Weird Planet Where Time Moved Very Fast And So Did the People Who Lived There," by Naomi Wildman.
- [the Doctor and Gotana-Retz chat about a favorite sport on the planet]
- Gotana-Retz: Mountain or Lakeside?
- The Doctor: Mountain, of course. Don't tell me you're a Lakeside supporter.
- Gotana-Retz: You really were on the surface.
- The Doctor: How are they doing this season?
- Gotana-Retz: Not good. Five wins, twelve losses.
- The Doctor: I don't believe it! Who's guarding for them?
- Gotana-Retz: Torelius.
- The Doctor: Any relation to *the* Torelius?
- Gotana-Retz: His grandson.
- The Doctor: I saw the original, defend for Mountain, in the play-offs against Red River.
- Gotana-Retz: That was before I was born.
- The Doctor: He would have gone into voluntary exile after a 5-12 season!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Unless we want to live our lives in the blink of an eye, I suggest we find a way out of here.
- Gotana-Retz: Captain, I apologize for this attack. They have no right.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Unfortunately they've got every right.
- Technician: What if they're all dead?
- Astronomer: If you truly believe that, why did you join this project?
- Technician: Well, I doubt everything, remember? Even my own doubts.
- Cleric: Oh, Protector, w-what exactly are you doing?
- Protector: I'm sending him a letter.
- Cleric: "Him?" S-s-sending... who a letter?
- Protector: The Ground Shaker. The Light Bringer.
- Cleric: Well, had you been more attentive to my lessons when you were a boy, you would not be so gullible as a man.
- Protector: On the contrary, you taught me well. Our ignorant ancestors believed every star was a deity. You taught me how foolish that was. "Superstition" you called it.
- Cleric: And that's exactly what it is.
- [the Protector turns to a bush and plucks a fire fruit from it]
- Protector: Hungry?
- Cleric: [nervously] Uh, it's, uh, bad fortune to eat the fire fruit.
- Protector: According to whom? Our ancestors? Don't tell me you believe that old superstition.
- [he throws the fruit away]
- Protector: Perhaps we shouldn't completely ignore the old beliefs, no matter how strange they may seem today.
- The Doctor: [realizing he's been beamed back aboard the ship] Captain! Lieutenant!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [the Doctor gives Janeway a HUGE hug] OOF!
- The Doctor: I thought I'd never see you again!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Are you all right?
- The Doctor: I've had a few close calls over the years, but all in all...
- B'Elanna Torres: Years?
- The Doctor: It's been over three. But at least I knew you hadn't left me behind. All I had to do was look up, and there you were, the brightest star in the sky.
- The Doctor: [back from his away mission] Three years is a long time, Captain. One needs... companionship.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: You'll get no argument from me.
- Gotana-Retz: Orbital 1 to Launch Control, please respond. Launch Control, please respond.
- Weather Coordinator: Who is this?
- Gotana-Retz: Pilot First Rank Gotana-Retz.
- Weather Coordinator: Clear this channel or I'm going to report you to the Command Center.
- Gotana-Retz: Is this Launch Control?
- Weather Coordinator: I'm the Weather Coordinator for Station 004. You're in violation of transmission regulations.
- Gotana-Retz: Please. Listen to me. I'm trying to reach Launch Control.
- Weather Coordinator: Let me guess. You finally decided to come home. You're Gotana-Retz?
- Gotana-Retz: Gotana-Retz. Yes. Now, please transfer me to Launch Control.
- Weather Coordinator: Launch Control became the Tactical Command Center fifty years ago. You're dead.
- Gotana-Retz: I've been inside the Sky Ship.
- Weather Coordinator: Then it's a good thing you decided to leave. They're about to shoot it down.
- Gotana-Retz: I've got to speak with them!
- Weather Coordinator: Tactical Command frequencies are classified. Now, get off this channel.
- Gotana-Retz: If you've ever wanted to report more than the weather, now is your chance.
- Gotana-Retz: [singing a childhood prayer-song] Star of the night / Star of the day / Come to take my tears away / Make my life always bright.
- The Doctor: They blame us for the seismic tremors, but everything else is pure speculation. And let me tell you, they like nothing better than to speculate about Voyager.
