- Neelix: I'm not a fighter. I'm just a cook - who sometimes imagines himself to be a diplomat.
- Tuvok: On the contrary, Mr. Neelix, you are much more than that. You are perhaps the most resourceful individual I have ever known.
- Neelix: I'm gonna make it my personal mission to get you to dance at least once before we reach Earth.
- Tuvok: Then I suggest you find a more productive hobby.
- Tom Paris: If you two don't stop it, I'm gonna come back there and separate you.
- Neelix: In honor of the 315th anniversary of his ancestors' arrival on Earth, I've asked Mr. Tuvok to recite the first words spoken to humans by a Vulcan. Commander?

- Neelix: You promised.
- Tuvok: Very well.
- [he performs the Vulcan salute]
- Tuvok: "Live long and prosper."
- Tuvok: [at a First Contact Day celebration party] Vulcans do not dance.
- Neelix: But it's tradition.
- Tuvok: There is no tradition, Mr. Neelix. This ceremony is entirely your invention.
