Torres: You're not going to learn anything from these lollipops.
Doctor: Hello, I'm.....home.
Doctor: I have analyzed the situation and come up with a solution. There should be no more problems.
Paris: You make it sound like you're treating a patient. I'm not sure you can diagnose and treat a family.
Jeffrey: This whole meeting is a Vulky idea.
Paris: This may save us all from Neelix's pleeka rind casserole after all.
Janeway: We'll all thank you for that.
Doctor: I shut down the program. I'm not going back.
Paris: Maybe you should think about that, Doc.
Doctor: I couldn't begin to face it. It was too difficult.
Paris: I guess all of us would avoid that kind of pain if we could. But most people don't have that choice.
Doctor: Well, fortunately I do.
Paris: Is it so fortunate? You created that program so you could experience what it's like to have a family...the good times and the bad. You can't have one without the other.
Doctor: I fail to see why not.
Paris: Well, think about what's happened to us here on Voyager. Everyone left people behind and everyone suffered a loss but look how it's brought us all closer together. We've found support here and friendship and we've become a family in part because of the pain we share. If you turn your back on this program, you'll always be stuck at this point. You'll never have the chance to say goodbye to your daughter or to be there for your wife and son when they need you and you'll be cheating yourself of the chance to have their love and support. In the long run, you'll miss the whole point of what it means to have a family.
