- Lieutenant Tuvok: What is the lunch special today?
- Neelix: Well, actually, I didn't get around to making a lunch special. But we have some lovely gabarosti stew left over from last night.
- Lieutenant Tuvok: Very well. It will do.
- Neelix: I've... had quite a run on it, as a matter of fact. It seems very popular.
- Lieutenant Tuvok: If it is all you are serving, that would stand to reason.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Good work, Commander. In the future, if I have any questions about mating behavior, I'll know where to go.
- The Doctor: Her unusual appetite may merely indicate a nutrient deficiency. It is not unusual for humanoids to crave foods that are rich in the very vitamins and minerals that their bodies are lacking.
- Kes: You... you can't mean my body lacks dirt?
- Neelix: [about Paris] I see the way he looks at you. I used to look at women that way, I know what it means.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [about intimate relationships among the crew] We're a long way from home. Everyone is lonely, and... all we have is each other. I think, eventually people will begin to pair off.
- Commander Chakotay: Including you?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: As Captain, that's a luxury I don't have.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: What was that all about?
- Commander Chakotay: I'd call it an example of indiscreet shipboard fraternization.
- Lieutenant Tom Paris: Really. Sorry I missed it.
- Neelix: Captain, may I speak with you? It's a matter of some urgency.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: What is it, Neelix?
- Neelix: I have been thrown out of sickbay!
- [Kes has locked herself in the Doctor's office]
- Neelix: Kes, please come out. You can eat anything you want.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Who'd have thought we'd be considering a generational ship when we were ordered on a three-week mission?
