Robert Duncan McNeill: Ensign Tom Paris

Quotes 

• [Paris observes Seven preparing several containers for an away mission] 

  Tom Paris : How long are you planning on being gone?

  Seven of Nine : Approximately 48 hours.

  Tom Paris : [laughs]  Just like B'Elanna.

  Seven of Nine : Clarify.

  Tom Paris : Well, she overpacks, too.

  Seven of Nine : I haven't overpacked. I simply wish to be prepared for any contingency.

  Tom Paris : [holds up a piece of equipment]  And... what contingency is this for?

  Seven of Nine : That's an isomodulator, enhanced to correct hull ablation in the event we encounter a meteoroid stream.

  Tom Paris : Well, couldn't you just replicate an isomodulator?

  Seven of Nine : I prefer this one.

  Tom Paris : Oh, I get it. You like to have your own things with you. B'Elanna's the same way. You know, she'd never admit it, but she still takes a stuffed animal with her whenever she's gonna be away for more than a day. 'Toby the Targ.'

  Seven of Nine : Can Toby the Targ correct hull ablation? Your comparison is flawed.

• [Harry considers challenging Chakotay to a boxing match] 

  Harry Kim : I can take a punch.

  B'Elanna Torres : Careful, Harry. Legend has it that the Tattooed Terror has put more men in sickbay than the Ankaran flu.

  Tom Paris : Yeah, you wouldn't want to bruise your clarinet fingers.
