Quotes 

• B'Elanna Torres : I've been a coward about everything... everything that really matters.

  Tom Paris : No, you're being a little hard on yourself.

  B'Elanna Torres : No. I'm gonna die... without a shred of honor, and for the first time in my life that really bothers me.

• Neelix : Lieutenant... without knowing why there's a black cloud hanging over your head, may I suggest something?

  B'Elanna Torres : Go right ahead.

  Neelix : You have a... bit of a temper... that you keep reined in, and sometimes it builds up inside you until you explode at someone.

  B'Elanna Torres : I'd say that about sums it up.

  Neelix : I'm offering to be a pressure valve.

  B'Elanna Torres : A what?

  Neelix : You may use me to blow off steam. When you're angry, come see me, call me names, insult me, question my parentage - I won't take it personally, and you won't need to keep things bottled up inside anymore.

  B'Elanna Torres : That may be the nicest offer I've had in a long time.

• B'Elanna Torres : I have to tell you the truth.

  Tom Paris : The truth about what?

  B'Elanna Torres : I... I love you.

  [Paris doesn't reply] 

  B'Elanna Torres : Say something.

  Tom Paris : You picked a great time to tell me.

• Tom Paris : I tried to find you before, but you were on the holodeck.

  B'Elanna Torres : That's right.

  Tom Paris : You know, you left it running, and... there was a Klingon in there who didn't look too happy.

• B'Elanna Torres : Let me access your controls.

  Tom Paris : I thought you'd never ask.

• B'Elanna Torres : Welcome to the worst day of my life.

• Tom Paris : Why is it we have to get beamed into space in environmental suits before I can initiate first contact procedures?

  B'Elanna Torres : Why is it that, if we're alone for more than thirty seconds, you start thinking about contact?

• Tom Paris : When we first met, you didn't have a very high opinion of me.

  B'Elanna Torres : That's putting it mildly. I thought you were an arrogant, self-absorbed pig.

  Tom Paris : [chuckles]  Flattery won't get you any more oxygen. Do you think I've changed?

  B'Elanna Torres : A lot. Now you're a stubborn, domineering pig.

• B'Elanna Torres : I overslept this morning because I forgot to tell the computer to wake me, and then the acoustic inverter in my sonic shower blew out...

  Tom Paris : That'll make your hair stand on end.

• B'Elanna Torres : [discussing Seven of Nine]  Bottom line is, I don't want her working in Engineering.

  Chakotay : The bottom line is, I'm giving you an order and you're gonna follow it, Lieutenant.

• Moklor : How have YOU proven yourself worthy?

  B'Elanna Torres : Um, I haven't built any empires, and I can't say that I've personally defeated any enemies in battle, but you have to realize I'm not living among warriors.

  Moklor : N'aww, then how do you expect to distinguish yourself?

  B'Elanna Torres : I don't know. I guess I'm doing the best I can.

  Moklor : Heh! A pitiful reply.

• B'Elanna Torres : Tell me something. When you hear about people like the Caatati, do you have any feelings of remorse?

  Seven of Nine : [after a pause]  No.

  B'Elanna Torres : That's it? Just "no"?

  Seven of Nine : What further answer do you require?

  B'Elanna Torres : Oh, maybe some kind of acknowledgement of the billions of lives you helped destroy? A justification for what you did? Maybe... a little sense of guilt?

  Seven of Nine : Guilt is irrelevant.

  B'Elanna Torres : Heartwarming.

• Moklor : [guiding B'Elanna through the Klingon Day of Honor]  A warrior must endure great hardship. To test YOUR mettle, you will endure the ritual of twenty painstiks. After that, you will engage in combat with a master of the bat'leth. Finally, you will traverse the sulfur lagoons of Gorath!

  B'Elanna Torres : You know, I don't think so. I didn't want to do this BEFORE you described it. Certainly not now. I'm leaving.

  Moklor : Not until you have completed the ceremony, p'tahk.
