The Doctor • ECH
- [as The Doctor sings La Donna E Mobile in the mess hall, Tuvok begins to cry]
- Tom Paris: [quietly] Tuvok...
- [Tuvok goes from crying to laughing uncontrollably, then grunting, as if in pain]
- Tom Paris: Tuvok.
- [Tuvok starts thrashing around]
- Captain Janeway: [clicks her combadge] Janeway to Security, get a team to the mess hall right away!
- The Doctor: Stand back! He's been seized by the pon farr! A neurochemical imbalance is driving him to mate. We won't be able to reason with him!
- The Doctor: [starts singing to the melody of the music] Tuvok, I understand / you are a Vulcan man. / You have just gone without / For seven years, about. / Paris, please find a way / To load a hypospray. / I will give you the sign / Just aim for his behind. / Hormones are raging, / Synapses blazing. / It's all so veee-...
- [Tom loads and throws the hypospray to the Doctor, who catches it while sustaining a note]
- The Doctor: ...hery illogical.
- [injects Tuvok in the butt with the hypospray; Tuvok collapses]
- The Doctor: [finishing the song] Illogical. Iii-ll... illogical.
- [last lines]
- Seven of Nine: Congratulations, Doctor.
- [she kisses him on the cheek]
- Seven of Nine: That was a platonic gesture. Don't expect me to pose for you.
- The Doctor: Noted.
- The Doctor: The Borg, the Hierarchy, it's all the same to me - just another bully who didn't know when to back off.
- The Doctor: Thank you for this opportunity, Captain. All I've ever wanted was to live up to my full potential, to hone all my skills, expand my abilities, to help the people I love.
- [first lines]
- The Doctor: Somewhere, in that totality known as the universe, is a galaxy called the Milky Way. Tucked into the corner of that galaxy is a planet named Earth. On that planet is a city called Mantua. Go straight ahead, past the fountain, turn right, then left, and right again. You'll find yourself walking along the water, listening, as a man sings of his beloved's unfaithful heart. And even the fish begin to weep. Quando La Donna E Mobile.
- The Doctor: Tuvok! Activate the photonic cannon!
- [everyone else looks at each other, stunned]
- The Doctor: Tuvok, that was an order!
- Tuvok: Activating the photonic cannon... sir.
- The Borg: We are the Borg.
- The Doctor: I know very well who you are. Stand down your weapons.
- The Borg: State your designation.
- The Doctor: Emergency Command Hologram, at your service.
- The Borg: Designation unknown.
- The Doctor: Not for long.
- [the crew is monitoring the Doctor's daydreams]
- The Doctor: Computer, activate the Emergency Command Hologram.
- Harry Kim: This is the part I like.
- Phlox: The Hierarchy does not tolerate mistakes or misinformation. If they learn of my error... I'll lose my livelihood.
- The Doctor: Well, that's what you get for being a peeping Tom.
- The Doctor: He mistakenly informed his superiors that I was in command of Voyager. To keep himself from being demoted, he wants us to maintain that fiction. When they open a channel, I have to be sitting in the captain's chair.
