Neelix: Why I certainly don't mean to intrude on your friendships. You can spend time with anyone you want.
Kes: As long as I still spend most of it with you.
Neelix: It's not a duty or an obligation.
Kes: Well, sometimes it feels that way.
Kes: It might be a good idea for both of use to spend some time apart.
Tiernan/Kes: When did corruption become so commonplace? My people are crying out for moral leadership.
Tiernan: What I need from you I already have. Your body and your mind.
Kes: You many have my body, but you will never have my mind.
Kes: How can I go back to my normal life as if nothing ever happened?
Tuvok: You cannot. This experience will force you to adapt. You are no longer the same person, and the course of your life will change as a result. Where that new course leads you is up to you.
Tieran about Kes: Who would have imagined that such fierce determination existed within that deceptively frail body?
