Threshold Line-by-Line

Hardlight: That's my theory. The only difference between natural evolution and what happened to Mister Paris is that his changes took place over a twenty four hour period. Somehow, travelling at infinite velocity accelerated the natural human evolutionary process by millions of years. It's possible that Mister Paris represents a future stage in human development, although I can't say it's very attractive.
 
The Doctor: I think my antiproton approach was correct. However, I'll need to intensify the treatment to restore his original DNA.
 
That guy who works on the bridge [OC]: Bridge to Chakotay.

(Living through this episode again, the silliness of the technobabble is just...breathtaking. Award-worthy. I mean, someone shoulda called the Hugos.)
 
Harry [OC]: I think I've found the shuttlecraft, Commander. It's on the 4th planet, in one of the jungles near the equator.
 
[Planet surface]

(Night. A pair of giant salamanders are lying on the shore by a river. Tuvok and Chakotay, and two security guards, beam down. The salamanders react to their flashlights, and Chakotay stuns them.)

SALAMANDER ZAPPER: "There are traces of human DNA. It's them. But I have to admit, I'm not sure which one is the Captain."
 
(Three baby salamanders emerge from a hole in the sand and slither off into the water.)
Chakotay: I don't know how I'm going to enter this into the log.
 
First Officer's log, supplemental. We've transported the Captain and Mister Paris back to Sickbay. As for their offspring, I've decided to leave them in their new habitat.
 
[Sickbay]

EMH: I've eradicated all traces of the mutant DNA from your system and restored your original genome. Congratulations. You're human again.
 
NOT THE COWBOY: "Captain, it'll take some time for your genetic codes to stabilise. I'd like you to remain in Sickbay for the next three days, just to be safe."
 
PARIS: Captain, I'm sorry. I, I don't know what to say, except I don't remember very much about, er, you know
