Capt. Kathryn Janeway
- [first lines]
- Captain Janeway: Captain's log, stardate 54129.4 - It's a bittersweet day for the crew of Voyager. We've finally found a home for some of our most precious cargo.
- The Doctor: You were summoned, too?
- Captain Janeway: Icheb doesn't seem to have grasped the chain of command yet.
- The Doctor: Remind you of anyone we know?
- Seven of Nine: Every person on this list died under your command. You accepted their deaths, but I don't believe you'll accept mine.
- Captain Janeway: That's presumptuous.
- Seven of Nine: I'm not being egotistical. On the contrary, I'm trying to make a point.
- Captain Janeway: Which is?
- Seven of Nine: All of these crew members came to Voyager with unique personalities, but I've required your constant assistance to develop my individuality.
- Captain Janeway: And you've come a long way.
- Seven of Nine: But not far enough. I've disappointed you. You feel your task is incomplete. That's why my death will be difficult for you to accept.
- Captain Janeway: Is that what you think, that you haven't lived up to my expectations?
- Seven of Nine: Clearly I haven't, but I want you to know... that the failure has been mine, not yours.
- Captain Janeway: You haven't failed, Seven. You've exceeded my expectations. You've become an individual, an extraordinary individual. If I'm having trouble accepting your condition, it's only because I don't want to lose a friend.
- Icheb: [to Seven] If the Captain were dying, you'd risk your life to save her, wouldn't you?
- Icheb: [to Janeway] And when you respond to a distress call, you're risking the life of everyone on this ship, to respond to the aid of strangers!
- Captain Janeway: He's right.
- Seven of Nine: Captain, he's just a child!
- Captain Janeway: I don't think he is. Not anymore.
- Seven of Nine: Doctor!
- The Doctor: Don't look at me.
- Icheb: Please - just let us help you.
- Seven of Nine: You refuse to acknowledge the severity of my condition - just as I did at first.
- Captain Janeway: Are you giving up?
- Seven of Nine: I'm merely accepting reality.
- Captain Janeway: If I'd accepted reality six years ago, I'd have settled on the first M-class planet we came across. Instead, I'm 30,000 light years closer to Bloomington, Indiana.
- Seven of Nine: Minus several members of your crew.
