	Season 7 / Episode 25: - Endgame, Part 1 The Doctor: You're experiencing false labor, Lieutenant. Tom Paris: Again? The Doctor: As I explained the last time, it's a common occurrence, especially among Klingons. B'Elanna Torres: I want this thing out of me NOW! The Doctor: Misdirected rage. Another common occurrence among Klingons.
	Season 7 / Episode 25: - Endgame, Part 1 The Doctor: Try to relax, Lieutenant. B'Elanna Torres: If you tell me to relax one more time, I'm gonna rip your holographic head off! The Doctor: I hope you don't intend to kiss your baby with that mouth.

	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: I'd never admit this to anyone else, but there was a time when I would have given anything to be flesh and blood.

	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: Voyager can survive without a warpcore, but not without a captain. Captain Kathryn Janeway: Now it doesn't have either!

	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: [to Captain Janeway] I've had something on my conscience for a long time. After I was first activated, I kept a record of what I considered to be your most... questionable command decisions. It's in my personal database. I hope you'll delete the file without reading it. The Doctor: [to Tuvok] Mr Tuvok. I violated the most sacred trust between a physician and his patient. I told Mr Neelix about the cutaneous eruption you developed on your... The Doctor: That was indiscreet. I hope you can forgive me. The Doctor: [to Harry] Ensign. At your recital last month, I told Lieutenant Torres that your saxophone playing reminded me of a wounded targ. I should have put it more delicately! I'm sorry! The Doctor: [pushing Kim aside] Seven. Seven of Nine: You should remain still. The Doctor: You have no idea how difficult it's been, hiding my true feelings all these years, averting my eyes during your regular maintenance exams! The Doctor: [falling on his knees] I know you could never have the same feelings for me, but I want you to know the truth. I love you, Seven! Seven of Nine: Your cognitive algorithms are malfunctioning. The Doctor: [stands up and waves the others goodbye] Goodbye, my friends! Speak well of me! Captain Kathryn Janeway: Is he...? B'Elanna Torres: No, I've got him. The Doctor: What happened? B'Elanna Torres: I deleted the extraneous subroutines. The Doctor: I'm not going to decompile?

	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man Captain Kathryn Janeway: Now, when you're on the holodeck with the Captain, there are two rules you have to follow. The Doctor: I understand.

Tom Paris: [to the Doctor] Will you excuse us? [Tom and B'Elanna walk outside] Neelix: Any bets on this one? Chakotay: My money's on B'Elanna.
	Season 7 / Episode 21: - Friendship One The Doctor: When you need to infiltrate a toxic environment, it helps to be a hologram.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: In the beginning, there is darkness, the emptiness of a matrix waiting for the light. Then, a single photon flares into existence, then another. Soon, thousands more. Optronic pathways connect, subroutines emerge from the chaos, and a holographic consciousness is born. I awaken into this world fully programed, yet completely innocent, unaware of the hardships I'll endure, or the great potential I will one day fulfill. - Computer, save revisions and open Chapter One.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author Tom Paris: [about the Doctor's holo-program] What's it called? The Doctor: "Photons Be Free". Tom Paris: Catchy.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: My publisher assures me he won't distribute the program until he receives the revised version. B'Elanna Torres: That must be the one where we assimilate the Borg and take over the quadrant.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: I could use your help with the rewrites. Tom Paris: Really? You realize, as a writer I'm a little unsophisticated. The Doctor: No; I believe the phrase you're looking for is 'lowbrow'.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: [from his introduction] You're about to take part in a thrilling first-person narrative. You will take on the role of an Emergency Medical Hologram, the Chief Medical Officer aboard the starship Vortex. Tom Paris: "Vortex"? The Doctor: As our story begins, an anomaly has hurled your ship thousands of light years across the galaxy. Your mission: to uphold your medical and ethical standards, as you struggle against the crew's bigotry and intolerance. Persons with vascular disorder should consult a physician before running this program.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author Tom Paris: You set your story on a starship lost in the Delta Quadrant! The Doctor: What would you have me write about? Palace Intrigue on the Klingon Homeworld?
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author Holographic Tom Paris: [from Tom's introduction] You are about to embark on a remarkable journey. You will take on the role of a medical assistant aboard the starship Voyeur. The Doctor: 'Voyeur'?

	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author Tom Paris: Your program's about as subtle as a... Ferengi mating dance. The Doctor: My program is a serious attempt at social commentary.

For one thing, he has much more hair.

	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author Captain Kathryn Janeway: Authors have rights. Arden Broht: Not in this case. The Doctor: What do you mean? Arden Broht: The Doctor is a hologram. The Doctor: So? Arden Broht: According to Federation law, holograms have no rights.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: It's just frustrating to be told I have no more legal standing than a replicator.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: It's the crew's reputations that are at risk. Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm not so sure. I think it's your reputation that's on the line here. You have the same rights as every other member of this crew. And I'm not going to let this publisher say otherwise.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: Do you think I'll be able to find another publisher? Captain Kathryn Janeway: If there's one thing I've learned about you, Doctor, it's that you can do just about anything you set your mind to.
