- [Cpt. Janeway and several crew members are listening to a very boring presentation by the Doctor on the holodeck]
- Harry Kim: [on the bridge] 2100 hours, Commander. All systems reporting normal.
- Chakotay: Acknowledged.
- Harry Kim: Like I said, it's 2100 hours.
- Chakotay: I heard you the first time, Harry.
- Harry Kim: They've been in there over an hour.
- Chakotay: I'm aware of that.
- Harry Kim: Didn't the Captain ask you to rescue them after 30 minutes?
- Chakotay: Harry, you and I were lucky enough to enjoy the Doctor's scintillating exhibition for two full hours. Would it really be fair of us to deny our friends the same unforgettable experience?
- Harry Kim: [smiling] Of course not, sir.
- [at the end of the Doctor's slide show, his audience appear rather miffed]
- B'Elanna Torres: What happened to going to yellow alert after half an hour?
- Tuvok: Commander Chakotay appears to have disobeyed a direct order.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Definitely grounds for court martial!
- Dr. Crell Moset: How do you suppose your own database was developed? Hm? My God, half the medical knowledge acquired on Earth came through experiments on lower animals.
- The Doctor: But not people!
- Dr. Crell Moset: It's convenient to draw a line between higher and lower species, isn't it?
- [Kim has concerns when realizing that the Medical Consultant Program is a Cardassian]
- The Doctor: I don't care if he's the nastiest man who ever lived, as long as he can help us save B'Elanna.
- [last lines]
- Dr. Crell Moset: Where was your conscience when B'Elanna was dying on that table? Ethics? Morality? Conscience? Funny how they all go out the airlock when we need something. Are you and I really so different?
- The Doctor: Computer - delete Medical Consultant Program and all related files.
- B'Elanna Torres: You had no RIGHT to make that decision for me!
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm the Captain. You're my crewman. I did what I thought best.
- Tom Paris: [to Torres, who is paralyzed with an alien on her chest] I just think, I could force you to listen to rock 'n roll all day and you wouldn't be able to do a thing about it.
- The Doctor: [of B'Elanna Torres] When I told her that we'd used Moset's program, she was unhappy, to put it mildly. I nearly had to sedate her.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Sounds like her Klingon temper has fully recovered.
- The Doctor: Practically qualifies as a chronic condition.
- Dr. Crell Moset: I'm sure you've made your share of breakthroughs.
- The Doctor: Naturally. Unfortunately, no one from Starfleet ever hears about them. I toil in obscurity.
- Dr. Crell Moset: I've already outlined a paper that you and I will one day present to the Federation Medical Academy: "Total Systemic Invasion of a Klingon-Human Hybrid by a Cytoplasmic Pseudo-Parasite." Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
- The Doctor: Are we also going to tell them where you honed your surgical techniques? A footnote perhaps: "For further details, see Cardassian death camps."
- Dr. Crell Moset: Delete my program and you violate the first oath you took as a physician: 'Do no harm.'
- The Doctor: "Do no harm." You have no right to say those words.
- Ensign Tabor: [about Crell Moset] I can still remember the sounds his instruments made, the screams of his patients, the smell, chemicals and dead flesh. He operated on my grandfather, exposed his internal organs to nadion radiation. It took six days for him to die. He blinded people so he could study how they adapted, exposed them to polytrinic acid just to see how long it would take for their skin to heal.
- The Doctor: Ensign, the man you're accusing cured the Fostossa virus. He stopped an epidemic that killed thousands of Bajorans.
- Ensign Tabor: By infecting hundreds of people so that he could experiment with different treatments - old, helpless people, like my grandfather, because he considered their lives worthless.
- The Doctor: How do you know this?
- Ensign Tabor: Everybody knew.
- [Paris, Torres and Neelix are talking about the Doctor's slideshow]
- B'Elanna Torres: I thought some of those pictures were pretty funny.
- Neelix: You mean like the one where Tom slipped into a mud pit?
- B'Elanna Torres: [to Paris, laughing] You're famous!
- Neelix: Then of course there's the one depicting a certain Chief Engineer, with her foot stuck in a plasma injector.
- B'Elanna Torres: WHAT?
- Tom Paris: Really? Why, I seem to have missed that one.
- Neelix: The Doctor must have taken it out of the exhibition.
- Tom Paris: Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on it. Maybe I can distribute it to everyone's personal database.
- B'Elanna Torres: Try it and I'll kill you - right after I finish deleting the Doctor's program.
- B'Elanna Torres: [on Crell Moset] Hologram or not, he's Cardassian. As far as I'm concerned, they're all cold-blooded killers.
- Tom Paris: I understand how you feel. Unfortunately, that cold-blooded killer may be the only one who can save your life.
- Ensign Tabor: Crell Moset killed thousands of people in his hospitals. As long as we're willing to benefit from his research, we're no better than he is.
- Seven of Nine: It is curious. The Borg are accused of assimilating information with no regard for life. This Cardassian did the same; and yet his behavior is tolerated.
- Dr. Crell Moset: You're a physician. You know there's always a price to pay for the advancement of medical science.
- The Doctor: Sometimes that price is too high. Torture?
- Dr. Crell Moset: Your word, not mine.
- Dr. Crell Moset: It's an unfortunate reality. Sometimes even enlightened races can't find common ground.
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: I know you're angry, but we need to put this behind us, understood?
- B'Elanna Torres: Is that an order?
- Captain Kathryn Janeway: Yes.
- B'Elanna Torres: You can't order someone to get rid of an emotion, Captain.
- The Doctor: It is my judgment that the Medical Consultant Program and all the algorithms contained therein shall be deleted from the database. In light of recent evidence, I cannot in good conscience utilize research that was derived from such... inhuman practices.
