Quotes

Doctor Zimmerman : Look at all this useless information floating around your buffer! Friendships with the crew, relationships with... women?
[gives the Doctor a scrutinizing look]
Doctor Zimmerman : Do they find you attractive?
-
Doctor Zimmerman : You've filled your memory with nonsense!
The Doctor : It was only during my off-hours.
Doctor Zimmerman : You're supposed to be off during your off-hours!
-
The Doctor : I demand you tell me my name!
-
Doctor Zimmerman : [on Kes's suggestion to replace the EMH's holo-matrix with the diagnostic program's] I must point out that you would no longer have a diagnostic program for the EMH.
Kes : If we don't do this, we won't have an EMH to diagnose.
Doctor Zimmerman : Hm. Good point.
-
Doctor Zimmerman : It wasn't programmed to be a tenor, it was programmed to be a physician!

[Dr. Zimmerman's hologram is about to overlay his own matrix onto the Doctor's]
Doctor Zimmerman : Well, it's been a brief existence, but, apparently, a noble one. Computer, initiate program Zimmerman Alpha-1.
-
The Doctor : I've recently begun a thorough study of opera. I find it quite satisfying, but I am having difficulty finding a holographic partner for the role of Mimi. All the soprani seem to have the most irritating personalities. These women are arrogant, superior, condescending. I can't imagine anyone behaving that way.

[Torres has activated the hologram of Dr. Zimmerman, the gruff creator and look-alike of the Doctor]
B'Elanna Torres : I can see where you get your charming personality.
The Doctor : Not to mention my hairline.
-
Doctor Zimmerman : I am a diagnostic tool, not an engineer.
-
The Doctor : He's a very sick man.
[on Chardis, after he has died in sickbay]
-
The Doctor : [after being upset by the hologram of his partnering soprano Giuseppina Pentangeli] Addio, madam. Next time I'll take my chances with Maria Callas. Computer, delete the diva.
-
Doctor Zimmerman : There's nothing more I can do. Either re-initialize it or live with the knowledge that eventually this EMH will end up with the intellectual capacity of a parsnip.
-
The Doctor : May I remind you that I am, in a way, your patient? Who's suffering from an unknown and obviously debilitating condition? I would think you'd be a little more sensitive to my needs.
B'Elanna Torres : You are questioning *my* bedside manner?
-
Doctor Zimmerman : [the Doctor] It... he, means a great deal to you, doesn't he?
Kes : Yes, he does.
