Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Seven of Nine : I've spent the last three years struggling to regain my humanity. I'm afraid I may have lost it again in that arena.

  Tuvok : You're experiencing difficult emotions.

  Seven of Nine : Guilt... shame, remorse.

  Tuvok : Then you haven't lost your humanity. You have reaffirmed it.

• Seven of Nine : Two hours, thirty-seven minutes, thirteen seconds. That's how long we've gone without verbal communication.

  Tuvok : Why is that remarkable?

  Seven of Nine : The Doctor encourages me to engage in conversation during awkward silences.

  Tuvok : Did you find the silence awkward?

  Seven of Nine : No.

  Tuvok : Nor did I.

• [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.

• The Champion : You're no bigger than a Tarkanian field mouse. Penk's insulting me by putting you in the Pit to face me.

  Seven of Nine : I must warn you: I possess superior strength.

  The Champion : I'm trembling.

• The Doctor : I was wondering if you'd care to join me on a tour of Norcadia's cultural hotspots. I hear their museums are among the finest in this sector.

  Seven of Nine : I'm busy.

  The Doctor : With what?

  Seven of Nine : Commander Tuvok and I are leaving to study a collapsing micro-nebula.

  The Doctor : During shore leave? I thought we discussed this.

  [he takes her luggage from her and puts it down] 

  The Doctor : Shore leave is a perfect opportunity for you to spend time with other members of the crew to develop your social skills.

  Seven of Nine : Then I suppose I'll have to develop them with Commander Tuvok.

  The Doctor : Vulcans aren't exactly known for their winning personalities.

  Seven of Nine : You'd prefer I spent my time with more sociable individuals, such as yourself?

  The Doctor : You could do worse.

  Seven of Nine : In that case...

  [she picks up her luggage again and dumps it into the Doctor's arms] 

  Seven of Nine : ...perhaps you'd care to join us?

  The Doctor : To study the micro-nebula?

  Seven of Nine : You can assist us with our analysis of veridium oxide particulates.

  The Doctor : On second thought, you and Tuvok have a good time.

  [hands Seven back her luggage] 

  Seven of Nine : I'll give the Commander your regrets.

  [moves on] 

  The Doctor : [shouts after her]  Eh, do that. And if the nebula isn't as riveting as you'd hoped, try to remember lesson 36: Pleasant Parlor Games to Pass the Time!

  The Doctor : [under his breath]  You'll need it.

• [Seven has to fight against the Pendari Champion] 

  Seven of Nine : I assure you, resistance is futile.

  The Champion : So is all your talk.

• Seven of Nine : The idea of killing someone for the entertainment of others is detestable.

  Tuvok : Is the idea of losing your own life for the entertainment of others more palatable? As a drone, you took many lives.

  Seven of Nine : I was acting as part of the Collective.

  Tuvok : You're worried you won't have the strength to accomplish the task on your own?

  Seven of Nine : I'm worried that I will.

• Hirogen Hunter : With the proper training, you could become a champion.

  Seven of Nine : Until our ship comes to rescue us, my only goal is to survive.

  Hirogen Hunter : Do you know the difference between a survivor and a champion here? There isn't one.

• [the Hirogen fighter bests Seven in a sparring fight] 

  Seven of Nine : That was not one of the thirty-three sanctioned maneuvers.

  Hirogen Hunter : There must be thirty-four.

  Seven of Nine : I was unprepared for your attack.

  Hirogen Hunter : Is that what you're going to say to your opponent? Stop thinking like a drone! "Sanctioned maneuvers, perfecting defenses." You cannot assimilate Tsunkatse from a book! You must live it, feel it...

  [he thrusts his hand toward her chest] 

  Hirogen Hunter : ...in here.

• [the Hirogen has completed Seven's training] 

  Hirogen Hunter : When your opponent enters the arena, what do you see?

  Seven of Nine : My prey.

  Hirogen Hunter : And what do you do to your prey?

  Seven of Nine : Hunt it down and kill it.

• Seven of Nine : We can still find another way out of this.

  Hirogen Hunter : There is no other way.

• [Seven and the Hirogen Hunter are being treated in sickbay after being rescued from Penk's ship] 

  Seven of Nine : Would you excuse us?

  The Doctor : [with a wary glance at the Hirogen]  Very well, but if you should need anything - an analgesic, a phaser rifle - don't hesitate to ask.

• Hirogen Hunter : I've been wondering. Would you have killed me?

  Seven of Nine : [after a pause]  I don't know.

  Hirogen Hunter : [smiles, knowingly]  Ehh... Fortunately, you were right. There was another way out.
