Memorial (2000)

Ethan Phillips: Neelix

Quotes 

• Neelix : Seven... when you were a Borg, you were involved in some... unpleasant activities.

  Seven of Nine : I helped to assimilate millions.

  Neelix : I don't mean to be insensitive, but... do you ever feel shame... about what you did?

  Seven of Nine : Frequently.

  Neelix : How do you manage to keep going, knowing that you've done such horrible things?

  Seven of Nine : I have no choice.

  Neelix : Guilt is irrelevant?

  Seven of Nine : On the contrary. My feelings of remorse help me remember what I did and prevent me from taking similar actions in the future. Guilt can be a difficult but useful emotion.

• [Chakotay has suggested they shut down the memorial's transmitter that has caused their war memories] 

  Neelix : Someone put a lot of time and care into building that transmitter. We can't just deactivate it, we don't have the right!

  Harry Kim : Did they have the right to force us to relive all that?

  Neelix : They wanted others to know what it was like, in the hopes that nothing like it would happen again.

  Chakotay : Why should anyone have to experience an atrocity they didn't commit?

  Neelix : Because that's how you learn not to make the same mistake. If we destroy the evidence, we're no better than Saavdra.

• Neelix : This isn't about logic! It's about remembering!

  Chakotay : Some things are best forgotten.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Not this. I stood by once before and did nothing. Not again.

• [Chakotay, Paris, Kim and Neelix return from an away mission with the Delta Flyer] 

  Harry Kim : If I ever volunteer for a two-week away mission again, would somebody please confine me to sickbay?

  Chakotay : Too much togetherness for you, Harry?

  Harry Kim : Nothing personal, Commander.

  Neelix : To tell you the truth, I've enjoyed our little junket together. It's given the four of us a chance to bond.

  Harry Kim : The bonding stopped when the sonic shower went offline.

• Neelix : Naomi must be terrified of me... after what happened in the galley.

  Seven of Nine : She's concerned about YOU. She told me she wants to visit you.

  Neelix : No. Not like this.

• Neelix : [enthusiastically]  Think of the great explorers that came before us. They survived without creature comforts.

  Harry Kim : I wouldn't want to bunk with them, either.
