Quotes 

• Neelix : It's getting awfully hot in here.

  Captain Janeway : When environmental controls fail, heat from the warp plasma conduits can't be vented. Expect a heat wave before long.

  Neelix : No problem, I'm used to it. I grew up near the Rinax marshlands. Our summers were the hottest in the sector. 50 degrees Celsius at 90 percent humidity, and the most vicious lavaflies you've ever seen.

  Captain Janeway : Summers in Indiana were pretty similar when I was growing up.

  Neelix : Except that we had three suns, and the lavaflies grew to be six centimeters long.

  Captain Janeway : Six centimeters, eh?

  Neelix : Insect repellent was a booming business.

• Captain Janeway : You have a genuine flair for diplomacy, Mr. Neelix. I may have to promote you - from morale officer to ambassador. With all the species we're bound to meet, I could use a man like you at the front door.

  Neelix : Ambassador Neelix - I like the sound of that.

• [first lines] 

  Tak Tak : Good health, strong body, clear mind.

  Neelix : And you - your hospitality, your generosity, your patience - many thanks.

• [Janeway and Neelix are examining a hole in a floor panel, with a mucilaginous substance in it] 

  Captain Janeway : Well, Ambassador - I'd say we've got an unexpected guest.

  Neelix : Somehow I don't think he's the diplomatic type.

• Neelix : [referring to the multiple humming outside the turbo lift]  Uh, Captain - it sounds like our guest has brought a few friends.
