-: It's typical of Kes
that she would befriend someone like you,
someone who really needs a friend.
And I guess I just got a little jealous.
I got more than a little jealous.
I realized now I was wrong.
-: Neelix, I told you the truth
when I said that nothing happened between me and Kes.
-: I know.
-: And I promise you nothing ever will.
But you weren't wrong about me.
-: What do you mean?
-: Well, I guess the only way to say it
is to say it.
I am attracted to Kes.
-: Oh.
-: To be honest, if you weren't around,
I'd be knocking at her door
but I respect you Neelix and that's that.
Everything you heard those guys saying about me,
well, it was true, but it's not who I am anymore.
At least not who I wanna be.
This upside down mission to the wrong side of the galaxy
has given me a second chance and I don't intend to blow it.
