Kes
- The Doctor-Darkling: There's not enough room inside for both of us. One must die. I deserve to exist, more than your Doctor does.
- Kes: Why?
- The Doctor-Darkling: I was born of the hidden, the suppressed. I am the dark threads from many personalities.
- Kes: The historical characters?
- The Doctor-Darkling: None of whom could face the darkness inside, so they denied me, suppressed me, frightened of the truth.
- Kes: What truth is that?
- The Doctor-Darkling: That darkness is more fundamental than light, cruelty before kindness, evil more primary than good, more deserving of existence.
- Kes: Why does it bother you so much when I call you 'Doctor'? You said he was inside you, that he was unconscious. Why are you so afraid of him?
- The Doctor-Darkling: I fear nothing! No one! But he... repulses me.
- Kes: Why?
- The Doctor-Darkling: Because he's as weak as the rest of you. He fails to understand the power of his own holographic nature. He is detestable.
- [the Doctor-Darkling threatens to throw Kes down a precipice]
- Kes: When I walked in on you on the holodeck, you could have killed me, knocked me unconscious.
- The Doctor-Darkling: I needed a hostage!
- Kes: You said you were taking me for my own good, to prevent me from making the wrong decisions. You said I was naive and needed your help. That's not what you say to a hostage. In your own way you've been trying to protect me.
- The Doctor-Darkling: I won't accept that!
- Kes: You've twisted and suppressed all that's good inside of you, but it's still there.
- The Doctor-Darkling: No! I won't hear this anymore!
- Kes: You can't deny it!
- The Doctor-Darkling: Watch me!
- [grabs Kes and plunges with her into the precipice]
- [overtired, Kes hands Janeway a report]
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: An all-nighter, Kes?
- Kes: Uh, Captain?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: The fine art of putting off an important task till the very last minute, then rushing through it. In my Academy days, I was the acknowledged master.
