Someone put the transcript in the comments: Neelix : Did you know the Nygians govern a sector of space occupied by several different humanoid species?

Tom Paris : If we say, "yes" will you feed us?

Neelix : One of those species is the Benkarans. They occupy just 10% of Nygean space but take up nearly 80% of the space in Nygean prisons.

Tom Paris : Maybe they commit more crimes.

Neelix : Not according to Joleg, one of the prisoners.

B'Elanna Torres : You think he was given a harsher sentence because of his species?

Neelix : According to this, Benkarans are 10 times more likely to be executed for their crimes than Nygeans.

B'Elanna Torres : Where did you get that?

Neelix : I contacted the Nygean government. I told them I was interested in a cultural exchange. Among other things, they let me access data on their criminal justice system. It all supports what Joleg told me.

Tom Paris : Neelix...

Neelix : I know what you're thinking.

Tom Paris : That you're the softest touch in the Delta Quadrant.

Neelix : These are the transcripts from Joleg's trial. He was convicted on circumstantial evidence.

Tom Paris : Let me guess. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Neelix : Apparently.

Tom Paris : When I was in the Federation penal colony, everybody had a story. I never put much stock in them. Neither should you.

Neelix : How many of those people were sentenced to die?
