- Captain Carol Freeman: We need to fire a graviton pulse to punch a hole out. On my mark. Mmm...
- Shari Yen Yem: Say mark, *say mark*! What are you waiting for?
- Captain Carol Freeman: Just making sure you're as scared as you're gonna get.
- Shari Yen Yem: You're fucking crazy!
- [Captain Freeman has just ordered Boimler to stay in his drill simulation in order to thwart Shari Yn Yem]
- Shari Yen Yem: You know you've already lost, right? All you're doing is torturing that young officer.
- Captain Carol Freeman: He'll be fine. He's one of our best.
- Ensign Beckett Mariner: He is?
- [In the Borg holodeck simulation drill, Boimler has been captured by the Borg and strapped to an assimilation table]
- Boimler: [whimpering, as he's watching Borg preparing tools to assimilate him] Mariner, I really need to get out of here. Like now!
- [the Borg Queen bends over him and blows seductively on his face]
- Boimler: Ooh! *chuckle* Kinda tickles.
- Borg Queen: A remarkable creature. Your design very nearly passes as human.
- Boimler: I... am human.
- Borg Queen: Oh! Wow! Then you need to drink more water. Your skin is a mess.
