Quotes 

• [the Doctor has restored Seven of Nine's human appearance] 

  The Doctor : I also took the liberty of stimulating your hair follicles - a vicarious experience for me, as you might imagine.

• The Doctor : [removing a Borg implant from Seven of Nine]  It's like peeling an onion.

• The Doctor : I'm afraid we have a decision to make, a difficult one. Her human immune system has reasserted itself with a vengeance. Body armor, Borg organelles, biosynthetic glands - they're all being rejected. Her life is in danger. I have little recourse but to remove the Borg technology.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Which is the last thing Seven of Nine would want.

  The Doctor : Hence the difficult decision. If a patient told me not to treat them, even if the situation were life-threatening, I would be ethically obligated to honor that request.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : This is no ordinary patient.

• The Doctor : [having removed a Borg implant from Seven of Nine]  Store it in a biostasis chamber. It may still be active. If you think there's a risk, Mr. Tuvok, you can throw one of your little forcefields around the chamber.

  Tuvok : A prudent security measure, for a doctor.

• Tuvok : [after her recent experience with Species 8472, Kes' psychic abilities are increasing]  Perhaps she's experiencing an after-effect of some kind.

  The Doctor : A reasonable diagnosis, for a security officer.
