Kate Mulgrew credited as playing...
Capt. Kathryn Janeway
- Captain Janeway: Four years ago I released you from prison and gave you a fresh start. Until now you've been a fine officer; your service on this ship has been exemplary. I really believed you were past this kind of conduct.
- Lt. Tom Paris: I've never been very good at playing by the rules. That doesn't mean that serving under your command hasn't changed me - for the better. At least, this time I broke the rules for a reason, for something I believed in.
- Captain Janeway: I admire your principles, Tom, but I can't ignore what you've done.
- Captain Janeway: [after Paris speaks out of line] I know you're upset, Lieutenant, but when you're in a room with me, you check that attitude at the door. Understood?
- [first lines]
- Captain Janeway: Lieutenant Thomas Eugene Paris, I hereby reduce you to the rank of ensign, and I sentence you to thirty days solitary confinement. Take Ensign Paris to the brig.
- [Janeway intends to intercept the Delta Flyer with a photon torpedo]
- Harry Kim: Captain, this is Tom we're talking about. We're not gonna open fire, are we?
- Captain Janeway: As far as I'm concerned, he forfeited his status as a protected member of this crew the second he launched that shuttle.
