Quotes 

• B'Elanna Torres : When I was six, my father walked out on me. When I was 19, I got kicked out of Starfleet. A few years later, I got separated from the Maquis. And just when I start to feel safe, you tell me that all of our old friends have been slaughtered. The way I figure it, I've lost every family I've ever had.

  Chakotay : B'Elanna - you have a new family now, here on Voyager. And you're not gonna lose us. You're stuck with us.

  B'Elanna Torres : You can't promise me that.

  Chakotay : No, I suppose I can't. Losing people's inevitable; and sometimes it happens sooner than we expect. But I can promise you that the people on this ship aren't about to let you stop living your life, or break your neck on the holodeck. You're gonna have to find another way to deal with this.

• B'Elanna Torres : Actually... I was hoping for banana pancakes.

  Neelix : Huh, I-I-I don't think I ever heard of 'banana pancakes' before.

  B'Elanna Torres : My grandmother used to make them for me when I was a kid. It's always put a smile on my face.

  Neelix : Well, then - one smile coming right up.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : B'Elanna, I'm worried about you. If there's something wrong, I want to help.

  B'Elanna Torres : Nothing's wrong. Okay?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : No, it's not okay. And until you decide to be more forthcoming, you'll remain under the Doctor's supervision. Which means you're off the shuttle project. I'm sorry.

  B'Elanna Torres : I'm not.

  [Janeway looks Torres in the eyes] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Now I know there's something wrong.

• B'Elanna Torres : I'm not trying to kill myself. I'm trying to see if I'm still alive.

• B'Elanna Torres : Chakotay - what you did down in the holodeck today... Thanks. But if you ever do anything like that again, I'll break your neck.

• Seven of Nine : You are putting *me* in charge?

  B'Elanna Torres : Problem?

  Seven of Nine : No. Just unexpected.

• B'Elanna Torres : Computer, disengage safety protocols.

  Voyager Computer : [bleeps]  Warning! Disengaging safety protocols presents extreme risk of injury.

  B'Elanna Torres : Override.

• [Vorik is using a noisy laser welder] 

  B'Elanna Torres : Vorik, turn that damn thing off! I can't hear myself think.

• Cmdr. Chakotay : You created a program to watch all our Maquis friends get slaughtered. What I want to know is why!

  Lt. B'Elanna Torres : I thought we came down here to talk about safety protocols.
