Robert Beltran: Cmdr. Chakotay

Quotes 

• [Janeway suggests an alliance with other aliens to try and escape the Void with combined forces] 

  Chakotay : Then who are we going to form an alliance with?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Anyone who agrees to play by our rules: no killing, no stealing, and no giving up.

• Chakotay : We may not like Valen's tactics, but he and his crew are still alive after five years in here.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I was thinking about that myself. I thought maybe I could get some guidance from the Federation Charter. I was hoping I'd find a loophole that would allow us to... take actions we ordinarily wouldn't take.

  Chakotay : Any luck?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : The Charter's a statement of principles, not a practical document.

  Chakotay : No section on how to exist in a void.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : No, but I've become convinced that we've got to stick to our principles, not abandon them.

  Chakotay : Should the crew be ready to die for those principles?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : If the alternative means becoming thieves and killers ourselves, yes, but I'm betting that our principles are going to keep us alive.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : It was almost like being part of a federation again.

  Chakotay : The real one's only 30,000 light years away.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Then what are we standing around for?

• Neelix : [Seven has prepared a gourmet meal for some of the senior officers]  Pinot noir, Commander?

  Chakotay : I'll have another glass of the Chardonnay.

  Seven of Nine : Each course has been paired with a specific wine. Substitutions are not recommended.

  Chakotay : The Pinot noir sounds perfect.
