Course: Oblivion (1999)

Kate Mulgrew: Capt. Kathryn Janeway

Quotes 

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : We've come too far to be stopped by dust.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : For all we know, the real Voyager's been destroyed, and we're all that's left. For all we know, we're supposed to be living their lives.

  Chakotay : That's a pretty big assumption; and it's putting this crew in danger.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : There's only one thing I know how to be, Chakotay, and that's Kathryn Janeway.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : We've lost Commander Chakotay. Duplicate or not, he was real to me. And he was a fine Starfleet officer. And... he was a friend... who... wasn't afraid to let me know when I am wrong.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : We're gathered here today, not as Starfleet officers, but as friends and family, to celebrate the marriage of two of Voyager's finest. B'Elanna has asked me to forgo the rigors of Klingon painstiks in favor of a more traditional ceremony.

  Harry Kim : They're saving the painstiks for the honeymoon.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : This is it, Tom - your bachelor days are over.

  Tom Paris : Not a moment too soon.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Second thoughts?

  Tom Paris : Second, third, fourth...

• Chakotay : Tom and I aren't the only ones who question your decisions. Now that the truth is known, a lot of people think we should turn around and head for the class Y planet. They're starting to remember their existence before Voyager.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : What? What existence? Pools of biomimetic fluid? We didn't even experience sentience until Voyager came along.

  Chakotay : What good is sentience if we're not alive to experience it?

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : The way I choose to look at it is this: if everything about us was duplicated, that includes our memory engrams, the emotional centers of our brain. So if you feel something, remember something, believe something - I'm not about to tell you it's not real.

• [Janeway has appointed Neelix to be Medical Officer] 

  Neelix : What about my other duties?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Make sickbay your priority. Huh... At this point, morale is a luxury.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : This crew's existence may have been brief; but it's been distinguished. None of you... deserves to be forgotten.

• [last lines] 

  [on board the real Voyager] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Make a note in the ship's record. "We received a distress call at 0900 hours. Arrived at the vessel's last known coordinates at 2120. The ship was destroyed. Cause unknown. No survivors." Mr. Paris, resume course.

  Tom Paris : Aye, sir.
