Neelix: Do you...would you tell me how you got in trouble?
Paris: I've thought a lot about that and it comes down to one simple fact. I didn't tell the truth. I made a mistake...which happens to people but if I'd have admitted that mistake it would have been a whole lot better. But I lied about it and it nearly ruined my life.
Neelix: We have to tell the truth. It's the only way to make things right.
Janeway: I won't allow a member of my crew to be condemned for a crime they didn't commit.
Tossin: Then you will die with me, little man.
Neelix: No problem at all if it will get rid of an Orillian maggot like you.
Janeway: Well, do you have anything to say for yourself?
Neelix: Only that I'm terribly sorry.
Janeway: Oh, you're sorry. Is that supposed to make everything better. I don't really care if you're sorry or not, Neelix. At this point it doesn't really matter.
Neelix: I've never been dishonest with you before, Captain. I just took one step, a step that seemed perfectly reasonable and that step led to another and another and before I knew it, I was involved in something I didn't know how to handle.
Janeway: What was it? What was so important that you were willing to throw away your principles?
Neelix: I needed a map.
Janeway: A map?
Janeway: We're all in this together, Neelix. And we have to be able to count on each other no matter how hard it gets.
