SESKA: Tell me, is it within your program's capabilities to lie or be deceptive?
"Basics" Line-by-Line!

The Doctor: I've learned that a bedside manner occasionally requires me to, how should I put it? Soft peddle the truth. But bald-faced lying, calculated deceit? I really don't have much experience with that sort of thing. But my program is adaptive, if you really need me to be deceptive, I'm sure I could learn.
SESKA: It's not exactly what I meant. I think we'll keep you just as you are.
SESKA: Ah, you don't know how primitive Kazon medicine is. I'm sure Chakotay would be glad to know you're looking after his son.
SESKA: But you're wrong, Doctor. I impregnated myself with his DNA.
The Doctor: That may have been your intention, but it certainly wasn't the result. Here. See for yourself.
The Doctor leads Seska to the medical console and shows his scan on the monitor screen.
The Doctor: Your child has Cardassian DNA strands here and Kazon DNA here. Human DNA has a significantly different nucleotide sequence.

SESKA: But I was so certain. He, he looks....
SESKA: Maje Culluh will be so pleased. End Medical Holographic Program.
Seska leaves, after a second, the Doctor reappears.
The Doctor: Medical log: Stardate 50032.7. I have determined that Commander Chakotay is not the father of Seska's child. I only wish there was some way to inform him. What am I supposed to do? Lead a revolt with the gang from Sandrine's? Conjure up holograms of Nathan Hale and Che Guevara? I'm a Doctor, not a Counter Insurgent. Get ahold of yourself, you're not just a hologram, you're a Starfleet Hologram. Maybe, maybe I could access the Tactical database, teach myself guerrilla warfare. But that would take time. Computer, what is the current crew compliment?

COMPUTER: There are eighty nine Kazon....
COMPUTER: and one Betazoid on board.
Nice how it forgot to mention the one and a half Cardassians on board.
