Kathryn Janeway quotes from Star Trek: Voyager

Seven of Nine

Your Starfleet directive is no longer relevant: I have found a way to control Omega.

Janeway

I don't care if you can make it sing and dance, we're getting rid of it.

The Doctor

[To Quarren] I want to see your version of what happened.

Tom Paris

We've already drained two phaser banks, and it hasn't did anything!

Tuvok

Perhaps if you looked at your console once in a while instead of chasing the female ensigns, you'd see otherwise.

Harry Kim

Tom's right; this war was supposed to be over in five minutes!

Chakotay

[To Tom Paris] You have a better idea, lieutenant?

Tom Paris

As a matter of fact, I do: fighter shuttles. A direct assault.

[To Tom Paris] Led by you? Good luck.

Tom Paris

Watch your mouth, hedgehog!

Chakotay

I haven't heard a single good idea.

Tom Paris

Then propose something, first officer! Earn your rank for once! [Chakotay punches Tom Paris in the stomach while Neelix, Harry Kim and Tuvok try to separate them]

Kathryn Janeway

Gentlemen... [the fight continues] Gentlemen! [Captain Janeway pulls her phaser out and shoots a console, which breaks the fight] Save it for the holodeck! We've got a war to fight. We've only been attacking the Kyrian military instillation--a mistake. We should target the general population.

Excellent idea, captain. I've examined the Kyrian genome and they'd be vulnerable to any number of biological weapons.

Kathryn Janeway

How soon could you have one ready?

Within the hour.

Kathryn Janeway

Dismissed.

Kathryn Janeway

Have you encountered his species before?

Seven of Nine

Species 116.

Is that what you call us?

Seven of Nine

The Borg has never been able to assimilate them. [Turns to Arturis] Not yet.

Kathryn Janeway

Seven!

Seven of Nine

Intuition?

Kathryn Janeway

It's intuition if I'm right.

Nothing's wrong. Okay?

Kathryn Janeway

No, it's not okay, and until you decide to be more forthcoming, you'll remain under the Doctor's supervision. Which means you're off the shuttle project. I'm sorry.

B'Elanna

I'm not.

Kathryn Janeway

Now I know there's something wrong.

Neelix

Coffee, Anyone... Captain [Offering coffee]

Kathryn Janeway

No Thanks, I've had enough. One more cup and I'll jump to warp.

Kathryn Janeway

Looks like we've got a guardian angel.

Kim

Oh, I wish I could believe that.

Janeway

Believe it. His name is Harry Kim.

Captain Janeway

Coffee, black.

Neelix

I'm sorry, Captain. We've lost another two replicators –

Kathryn Janeway

Listen to me very carefully because I'm only going to say this once. Coffee – black.

Kathryn Janeway

Let me get this straight: trans-dimensional aliens have mistaken your Captain Proton simulation for reality.

Tom Paris

Yes ma'am.

Kathryn Janeway

And now an armed conflict has broken out between these aliens, and Chaotica's holographic army.

Tom Paris

Yes ma'am. His army of evil.

[after sampling coffee] You actually enjoy this?

Kathryn Janeway

It's an acquired taste.

When it rains, do you run from doorway to doorway, trying to stay dry, getting wet all the while? Or do you just accept the fact that it's raining and walk with dignity?

Janeway

I carry an umbrella.

Janeway

Space. Literally it means "nothing," a vacuum between stars and planets, but by the same token it means "everything." It's what connects all our worlds—Vulcan, Qo'noS, Talax, Earth. Centuries ago, mankind sent its first wave of explorers into that void, astronauts like Mr. Kelly. They paved the way for the first colonies, the first starships for those of us who've made space our home. We commend the spirit and the bravery of Lieutenant John Mark Kelly as we commit his body to space. He will not be forgotten.

Seven of Nine

I did not know this individual. Had I encountered him while I was a Borg I would have found his technology unworthy of assimilation, but we are more alike than one might think. In a sense, his desire to explore was not unlike a quest for perfection. His contribution helped secure Humanity's future, and in some ways my own. [she leans over Kelly's coffin and whispers] The Yankees. In six games.

[to Commander Harkins] You've put me in a difficult position, son. I was hoping that we'd be able to-

We're receiving a transmission.

From where?

Coordinates 343.6 by 27.

The wormhole.

Capt. Janeway

[cuts in audio] Starfleet Command. Come in.

[soft voice] Voyager.

Reg, give me a hand clearing up the signal. [Paris gestures Barclay to do it]

Lower the filter band by 0.3 kilohertz.

Janeway

This is Capt. Kathryn Janeway, do you read me?

[to Barclay] I think she's talking to you.

Captain, this is Lt. Reginald Barclay at Starfleet Command.

Janeway

It's good to hear your voice, Lieutenant. We've been waiting a long time for this moment.

The feeling is mutual. Unfortunately, the micro-wormhole is collapsing. We have only a few moments.

Janeway

Understood. [signals Tuvok] We're transmitting our ship's logs, crew reports, and navigational records to you now.

Acknowledged. And we're sending you data on some new hypersubspace technology. We're hoping eventually to use it to keep in regular contact, and we're including some recommended modifications for your comm system.

Janeway

We'll implement them as soon as possible.

There's someone else here who would also like to say something.

This is Admiral Paris.

Janeway

Hello, sir.

How are your people holding up?

Janeway

Very well. They're an exemplary crew. Your son included.

Tell him... Tell him I miss him. And I'm proud of him.

Janeway

He heard you, Admiral.

The wormhole is collapsing..

I want you all to know we're doing everything we can to bring you home.

Janeway

We appreciate it, sir. Keep a docking bay open for us. We hope to see you - [signal is cut]

That's it. They're gone.

You did it, Reg. I'm sorry I doubted you.

Why the long face, Mr. Barclay?

Because... because it's over, sir.

No, Lieutenant. I'd say that "Project: Voyager" is just beginning. Thanks to you.

Kathryn Janeway

I've become romantically involved with a hologram. If that's possible.

The Doctor

Tell me what happened.

Kathryn Janeway

Oh you know the story. Girl meets boy. Girl modifies boy's subroutines.

Kathryn Janeway

They are not exactly drones. Mature Borg are predictable. They ignore you or assimilate you, but these juveniles, they are unstable.

Tuvok

They are contemptuous of authority, convinced that they are superior. Typical adolescent behaviour - for any species.
