| Janeway : | "What's that?" |
| Seven : | "You made me into an individual. You encouraged me to stop thinking like a member of the collective... to cultivate my independence... my Humanity. But when I try to assert that independence, I am punished." |
| Janeway : | "Individuality has its limits. Especially on a starship, where there's a command structure." |
| Seven : | "I believe that you are punishing me because I don't think the way that you do... because I'm not becoming more like you. You claim to respect my individuality... but in fact, you are frightened by it." |
| Janeway : | "As you were." |
