Quotes 

• Chakotay : Seven of Nine said that we lacked the cohesion of a collective mind, that one day it would divide us and destroy us - and here we are, proving her point.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I'll tell you when we lost control of this situation, when we made our mistake. It was the moment we turned away from each other. We don't have to stop being individuals to get through this; we just have to stop fighting each other.

• Chakotay : I want you to know that disobeying your orders was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I understand, and I respect the decision you made, even though I disagree with it. What's important is that, in the end, we got through this, together. I don't ever want that to change.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : [of Seven of Nine]  I wonder what's left under all that Borg technology, if she can ever become human again.

  Chakotay : You plan to keep her on board?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : We pulled the plug. We're responsible for what happens to her now.

  Chakotay : She was assimilated at a very young age. The Collective's all she knows. She might not want to stay.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I think she might. We have something the Borg could never offer - friendship.

• [Tuvok suggests using Voyager's photon torpedoes equipped with nanoprobes against Species 8472] 

  Seven of Nine : Your torpedoes are inadequate. They lack the necessary range and dispersive force.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Do you have a better idea?

  Seven of Nine : We are Borg.

  Tuvok : [to Janeway]  I take that as a yes.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : What's YOUR... designation?

  Seven of Nine : Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One, but you may call me Seven of Nine.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : You're asking me to give up my only guarantee that you won't assimilate us. I won't risk it.

  Seven of Nine : Are you willing to risk a direct confrontation with us? If we transport 500 drones onto your vessel, do you believe you could offer sufficient resistance?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : We'd die trying.

• [suffering from neural damage, Janeway puts Chakotay in charge of the ship and the mission] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : [lying on what could be her deathbed]  They'll push you, they'll threaten you, but they need you. They need this alliance. You have to make this work. I want you... to make this work. Get this crew... home.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Bridge to Chakotay: Scorpion.

• Captain Janeway : This is the plan: we engage the enemy here, in their space. We show them what they're up against. If they have any sense of self-preservation they'll back off, pull their ships out of the Delta Quadrant. That's provided the weapons are effective; if they aren't...

  Captain Janeway : [to Seven of Nine]  ... it's been nice working with you.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : There are two wars going on, the one out there and the one in here and... we're losing both of them.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : You're human, aren't you?

  Seven of Nine : This body was assimilated 18 years ago. It ceased to be human at that time.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I'm curious. What was your name?

  Seven of Nine : Do not engage us in further irrelevant discourse.

• Seven of Nine : All remaining bioships in the Delta Quadrant are returning to their realm. The Borg have prevailed.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : With a little help from us.
