Joleg:
After you're convicted, the family of the victim sentences you.

Neelix:
Well, shouldn't you be sentenced by someone less partial, like a judge?

Joleg:
Vekto valek k'vadim. It's ancient Nygean; it means 'favor the victims'. - What if... I stole your game board? What right would a judge have to assign a value to your loss? To him, it's just a game board. But to you, it might be a priceless family possession. And what if I murdered your child?

Neelix:
I think I get your point.
