Quotes 

• [the Doctor is creating an antigen to combat the virus] 

  The Doctor : As for the larger versions of the viruses - what I've termed the 'macrovirus' - I would suggest a fly swatter.

• [Captain Janeway and the Doctor are using the ship's conduits to get through the ship] 

  Captain Janeway : Take Jefferies tube 11.

  [the Doctor looks unsure] 

  Captain Janeway : What's wrong?

  The Doctor : I've been studying the ship's infrastructure, and I'm familiar with most of it, but how do I get there from here?

  Captain Janeway : [indicating an access tube]  Jefferies tube 11. Take a left at section 31, and straight down past the tractor beam emitter until you hit deck 10. Get out at section 3 and follow the corridor all the way around until...

  The Doctor : ...until I hit the shuttle bay. Then I crawl through access port 9, go past three airlocks, and then two decks down. Environmental control's at the end of the hall. Now I remember!

  [walks on, but turns around] 

  The Doctor : Who designed this ship, anyway?

• The Doctor : [after injecting a macro-virus with an antigen]  One down, ten billion to go.

• Tom Paris : [noticing a deep humming]  What... What is that?

  The Doctor : You don't want to know.

• The Doctor : [after almost shooting Janeway]  Captain! Needless to say, I... I thought you were something else.

• The Doctor : [one of the infected miners runs into the Doctor]  Hold on. Stop.

  Garan Miner : [barely conscious]  You... you've got to help us.

  The Doctor : I intend to but first I must return to my ship and prepare an antidote.

  Garan Miner : Take me with you.

  The Doctor : I'm afraid that's not possible. We'd risk infecting the crew.

  Garan Miner : You can't leave me... please.

  [the miner loses consciousness] 

  The Doctor : [via the comm]  Commander Chakotay, perhaps if we established a forcefield around Sickbay and beamed victims directly to...

  Commander Chakotay : [over the comm]  I'm sorry but I'm afraid we can't take the chance.

  The Doctor : [more forcefully]  But these people need...

  Commander Chakotay : [sternly but sympathetically]  Doctor, Away team guidelines specifically forbid the transport of unknown infectious...

  The Doctor : ...of unknown infectious agents onto a starship without establishing containment and eradication protocols. I understand.

  [to the miner] 

  The Doctor : I'll do my best to help you.

  [barely acknowledging]
