• Captain Kathryn Janeway : Am I the only one who's so intent on getting home? Is it just me? Am I leading the crew on a forlorn mission with... no real hope of success?

  Commander Chakotay : You're not alone. I wanna get home too. And there's not a day that goes by when I don't hear someone mention Earth.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : The people here have built a new Earth. We could stay, help them build a human civilization in the Delta Quadrant. Isn't that an exciting prospect, shouldn't we be grateful for the opportunity they're giving us?

  Commander Chakotay : It is a tempting prospect. But when I hold it up against the prospect of seeing the sun rise over the Arizona desert, or swimming in the Gulf of Mexico on a summer's day - there's just no comparison. I wanna go home.

• John Evansville : The 37's were brought here 15 generations ago by the Briori.

  Commander Chakotay : Who are the Briori?

  John Evansville : They're an alien race. They abducted over 300 people from Earth in the year 1937, brought them here, turned them into slaves. But those slaves revolted, killed the Briori, took their weapons and technology, and survived! Now there are over 100,000 of us. The Briori never came back.
