Star Trek: Voyager (TV Series)

Alice (1999)

Ethan Phillips: Neelix

Quotes 

• Seven of Nine : Cultural artifacts.

  Neelix : According to Abaddon, they're lost treasures of the Delta Quadrant. If you ask me, they're worthless trinkets.

  Seven of Nine : [examining one of the artifacts]  Perhaps not. This crystal is beryllium.

  Neelix : Valuable?

  Seven of Nine : Beryllium is the standard currency in spatial grid 5-3-9. There are species that would trade an entire fleet of starships for this "trinket."

  Neelix : If Abaddon knew about this, he'd never have traded it for a few plasma couplings. Maybe I should return it.

  Seven of Nine : Need I remind you: "All trades are final."

• Neelix : There's nothing like having your own ship. I remember when I first laid eyes on my little freighter, Baxial.

  Tom Paris : No, don't tell me - love at first sight!

  Neelix : Actually, I thought she was the ugliest thing I ever saw.

  [both laugh] 

  Neelix : But she grew on me. Eventually, I, I couldn't imagine being without her. You know, she's still down in the shuttle bay. Why don't we get her and Alice together and go on a double date?

  Tom Paris : Yeah. You pack the picnic basket, I'll bring the deuterium.

• Chakotay : I'm Commander Chakotay, this is Mister Neelix.

  Neelix : Welcome to Voyager!

  Abaddon : "Neelix", is it? You wouldn't be a fellow trader, would you?

  Neelix : What makes you say that?

  Abaddon : Cheerful demeanor, furtive eyes... it's obvious you're a man of commerce!

• Abaddon : She doesn't like being manhandled.

  Neelix : Temperamental?

  Abaddon : Sensitive. She demands respect, like any fine piece of machinery.

  Lt. Tom Paris : Sounds like you're sorry to let her go.

  Abaddon : Well, in some ways, she's like the daughter that I couldn't marry off - but that doesn't mean I'd trade her to just anyone.
