- Neelix: I'm ready for my lesson!
- Seven of Nine: I've concluded that teaching you to sing is an inefficient use of my time.
- Neelix: But I... I've... I've been practicing.
- Seven of Nine: In your case, practice is irrelevant. Your vocal cords are incapable of producing basic diatonic tones, not to mention your rhythmic shortcomings.
- Neelix: [sighs, disappointed] I sound so good in the sonic shower.
- Seven of Nine: Perhaps you should confine your efforts to that location.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: Did you just move in?
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: No, no. I've been here, uuuh... almost two years. I just haven't had a chance to unpack.
- Admiral Owen Paris: Why the long face, Mr. Barclay?
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: Because... because it's over, sir.
- Admiral Owen Paris: No, Lieutenant. I'd say that Project Voyager is just beginning - thanks to you.
- Tom Paris: To... my dad - it's nice to know he's still there - and to the newest honorary member of the Voyager crew, Reginald Barclay, whoever you are.
- Commander Pete Harkins: What would you like me to do with him, Admiral? He broke into the lab, accessed the Midas Array, and resisted arrest.
- Admiral Owen Paris: You've put me in a difficult position, son. I was hoping we'd be able to -
- [an alert sounds]
- Technician: We're receiving a transmission.
- Admiral Owen Paris: From where?
- Technician: Coordinates 343.6 by 27.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: [Everyone looks at Barclay] The wormhole.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Starfleet Command, come in.
- Admiral Owen Paris: Voyager!
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: Has it ever occurred to you that a tachyon beam directed at a class B itinerant pulsar could produce enough gravimetric energy to create an artificial singularity?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I can't say it has.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: You know what I always say: if you can't stand the heat...
- Holographic Harry Kim: ...get out of the warp core!
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: Ever since I... I left the Enterprise, things haven't... haven't been the same. It's as if... I lost my family.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I've decided to ask Captain Picard for a temporary leave of absence - to spend some time with an old friend.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: Oh, Deanna, y-you... you-you don't, you don't have to do that.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: Try and stop me!
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: Admiral, uh... than-thank you, er, for seeing me...
- Admiral Owen Paris: You're frightening my secretary, Mr. Barclay. You have five minutes.
- [Barclay is stammering his way through his explanation about how to establish a two-way communication link with Voyager]
- Admiral Owen Paris: I can't give you high marks for clarity, Lieutenant, but you've certainly got my attention.
- Commander Pete Harkins: Take the rest of the day off, Reg.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: But...
- Commander Pete Harkins: That was not a suggestion.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: I know that I haven't explained myself, uh, very well, but with all due respect, sir, what do we have to lose by trying? I think we're forgetting that there are 150 *people* stranded in the Delta Quadrant!
- Admiral Owen Paris: I have a son on that ship, Lieutenant. I haven't forgotten that fact for a single moment.
- [in Starfleet's lab]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [over comm] This is Captain Kathryn Janeway. Do you read me?
- Commander Pete Harkins: I think she's talking to you.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: Captain? This is Lieutenant Reginald Barclay at Starfleet Command.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: [on Voyager] It's good to hear your voice, Lieutenant. We've been waiting a long time for this moment.
- Holographic Tom Paris: [on Barclay's multiple commitments] Velocity, hoverball, warp core recalibrations - Reg, I don't know how you do it.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: [conspiratorially] Letja in on a little secret: there's two of me!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: A micro-wormhole?
- Seven of Nine: I believe a message is being transmitted through it... on a Starfleet emergency channel...
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: I've lost myself, Deanna.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: Lost yourself?
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: [nods] In Voyager. I've become obsessed... with Voyager.
- Lt. Reginald Barclay: Now where's um, Tuvok?
- Holographic Lt. B'Elanna Torres: He said it's illogical to continue losing to a clearly superior player.
