Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Damar:
You don't have anything to hide, do you? [Looks at Leeta as she walks past] You certainly don't.

Odo:
You're still disgusting!

Quark:
Wouldn't have it any other way!

Doctor Bashir:
[Shoots at Garak and inspects the injury] You'll be fine, it's just a flesh wound.

Garak:
That was awfully close. What if you killed me?

Doctor Bashir:
What makes you think I wasn't trying?

Garak:
Doctor, I do believe there's hope for you yet.

Gowron:
Think of it! Five years ago no one had ever heard of Bajor or Deep Space Nine, and now, all our hopes rest here!

Major Kira:
[Dukat's ship is pursuing the Dominion fleet] Dukat! Stop trying to be a hero, get back to the station!

Gul Dukat:
Your concern is touching, Major. But I'm afraid you misunderstand me. I'm not attacking the Dominion fleet, I'm joining it.

Garak:
[Cornered by a group of Klingons in his store] Well, let me guess! You're either lost, or desperately searching for a good tailor.

Chief O'Brien:
Four weeks! Are you telling me I've been hanging around a Changeling for over a month?

Doctor Bashir:
And you never suspected it wasn't me?

Odo:
I have my eye on you, Quark.

Quark:
[Jadzia Dax walks by] And I have my eye on you, Jadzia.

Dukat:
What happened to that brave officer I served with? The one who stood at my side while we fought the entire Klingon Empire with a single ship?

Damar:
Those were simpler times.

[Ezri tells Worf about a dream where she is chased by a Breen]

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
Anyway, I got away from him; but then there was nowhere to run. And then, just when I thought he was about to kill me, he reached up and took off his helmet...

Lt. Commander Worf:
And?

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
And... it was Julian.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Dr. Bashir?

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
Isn't that strange? I wonder what it meant.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Dr. Bashir is a Breen.

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me that I need to... confront emotions that I've repressed since birth. But which one? I've been born nine times...

Captain Sisko:
I can't. I can't go against the Prophets.

Captain Sisko:
[about the Prophets] To them I'm the Sisko, an instrument to carry out their wishes. But they forget that I am also human, with dreams and wishes of my own. They say that marrying Kasidy is a mistake, and maybe it is. But it's my mistake to make.

Sarah Sisko:
Be careful... my son.

Admiral Ross:
One of the most pleasant duties of a senior officer is the privilege of joining two people together in matrimony. Today I have the honor to unite Kasidy Danielle Yates and Benjamin Lafayette Sisko in marriage.

Kasidy Yates, Captain Sisko:
[respectively] With this ring, I thee wed.

Kai Winn:
Your pagh is strong, Anjohl. I've been waiting for you.

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
I wonder what the Breen look like under those helmets.

Lt. Commander Worf:
They say no one has ever seen one and lived to speak of it.

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
Maybe they're all furry. It's supposed to be very cold on Breen.

Lt. Commander Worf:
One thing is certain...

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
They're horrible cooks?

[last lines]

Weyoun:
You should be honored. You're witnessing an historic moment - the birth of the alliance between the Dominion... and the Breen. Changes everything, doesn't it?

Jake Sisko:
Who cares about anomalies? People want stories about things they can relate to - life and death, good and evil. An outbreak of Cartalian fever would be just the thing. The brave doctor battles the deadly virus! Listen to me, I'm actually rooting for a plague.

Jake Sisko:
"Surgery under fire!" Now we're talking!

[Quark has tried to replicate a decaffeinated variety of raktajino, yet with little success]

Quark:
The removal of caffeine from beverages has plagued bartenders and restaurateurs for centuries. You can't expect me to solve it overnight.

Chief O'Brien:
I'm not paying for that!

Odo:
So much for 'Quarktajino'.

Odo:
Solid! I wonder why my people use that term. Humanoid bodies are so fragile.

Captain Sisko:
Yes, they are... And there are a lot of ways you can get hurt.

Odo:
I never realized how stressful it is to be a parent. I have to say, I don't think it's for me.

Captain Sisko:
That's your choice. But you don't know what you're missing.

Captain Sisko:
It seems... just yesterday, he was five years old... clinging to me, because he'd just scraped his knee. And I was the only one in the world who could make it better. I remember sometimes getting up in the middle of the night and slipping into his room, just to make sure he was all right. And I'd sit there and watch him sleep. And I'd think to myself... that no matter what, I wasn't going to let anything bad happen to this child. And now he's a sector away in a warzone, and there is nothing I can do to protect him.

Jake Sisko:
I've been on the station when it was under attack plenty of times. But somehow the danger never seemed as real as it does here. Maybe it's because I spent all day seeing first hand what the Klingons are capable of. Or maybe it's because for the first time in my life my father's not here to protect me.

Jake Sisko:
[writing] Triage, the sorting of the wounded, forces decisions that - I gotta get a grip. Focus! - decisions that test what it means to be a doctor...

[Jake runs out of the replimat being sick]

Nurse:
His first day?

Kirby:
Yeah.

Bolian:
Pass the salt.

Jake Sisko:
I keep turning it over in my head. The shelling. Losing sight of Bashir. Running. And I keep trying to make sense of it all - to justify what I did. But when it comes down to it there's only one explanation: I'm a coward!

Jake Sisko:
I couldn't stand hearing him apologize to me like that - not after what I'd done to him.

[Jadzia tells Ben Sisko about a serious illness one of her - Audrid Dax's - daughters had to go through once]

Captain Sisko:
So, how did it turn out with Neema?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
She pulled through.

Captain Sisko:
Phew! I was hoping you were going to say that. Because if this story had an unhappy ending I would have never forgiven you.

Ensign:
The Klingons had us pinned down. We were done for, we all knew it. Hendriks and Pajal, they got scared, they ran. They ran! Then Sully got hit in the leg... and the medics pulled him off the line. And all I could think was... I wish I were him. And I took my phaser...

[he starts to sob]

Ensign:
Oh God! What did I do to myself? What did I do?

Jake Sisko:
I wonder if Kirby knew that the whole time we were talking, all I could think about was how close the Klingons were. He didn't seem that worried. No one else seems to be losing sleep over it. So why is it the only thing I can think about?

Jake Sisko:
Some people say that you don't know what you're really made of until you've been in battle.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, let me tell you, Jake. There are many situations in life which test a person's character. Thankfully, most of them don't involve death and destruction.

Ensign:
It's funny - one minute your life's moving along, just like you always thought it would. And the next you do somethin'... that changes everything - that makes you realize you're not who you thought you were. At the Academy, I did really well in the battle simulations; I never had any problems. But when you're out there, and the live shells are detonating all around you, it's a whole different thing.

Jake Sisko:
All you can think about is getting away from the explosions...

Ensign:
I don't deserve to be in Starfleet. Therapy won't change what I did. Nothing will. I just wish I'd aimed that... phaser a little higher.

Doctor Bashir:
Simulations can't prepare you for the real thing. Nothing can.

[after saving everyone in the hospital from the invading Klingons by chance, Bashir calls Jake a hero]

Jake Sisko:
More than anything, I wanted to believe what he was saying. But the truth is, I was just as scared in the hospital as I'd been when we went for the generator. So scared, that all I could think about was doing whatever it took to stay alive. Once that meant running away, and once it meant picking up a phaser.

Jake Sisko:
The battle of Ajilon Prime will probably be remembered as a pointless skirmish. But I'll always remember it as something more - as the place I learned that the line between courage and cowardice is a lot thinner than most people believe.

[last lines]

Captain Sisko:
Anyone who's been in battle would recognize himself in this. Most of us wouldn't care to admit it. It takes courage to look inside yourself, and even more courage to write it for other people to see. I'm proud of you, son.

Quark:
Back home, pregnancy is considered a rental.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax, Major Kira:
"Rental"?

Odo:
I'll never understand the humanoid need to... 'couple.'

Quark:
You've never... coupled?

Odo:
Choose not to. Too many compromises. You want to watch the karo-net tournament; she wants to listen to music, so you compromise - you listen to music. You like Earth Jazz; she prefers Klingon Opera so you compromise - you listen to Klingon Opera. So here you were ready to have a nice night watching the karo-net match and you wind up spending an agonizing evening listening to Klingon Opera.

Doctor Bashir:
What is this?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
An Altonian brainteaser.

Doctor Bashir:
A brainteaser?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
A puzzle.

Doctor Bashir:
A puzzle?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
Mmm...

Doctor Bashir:
I love puzzles. How does it work?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
It responds to neural theta-waves. The goal is to turn the sphere into a solid color.

Doctor Bashir:
And that's all?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
That's all. I've been trying to master it on and off for... oh, 140 years. Would you care to try?

Sisko:
[to Odo] If you can't work within the rules I'll find someone who can.

Commander Sisko:
I've missed your steamed Azna.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
You must miss Curzon too.

Commander Sisko:
He was... You were - are - a mentor. Another father to me.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
This happens to Trills, Benjamin. Sometimes our friendships with other species don't survive because of the change.

Commander Sisko:
It won't be that way with us. It's just, er... a little uncomfortable right now.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
I suggest that you allow yourself to feel comfortable with your discomfort. Time can do the rest.

Commander Sisko:
Mr. Odo, you're not going to take the law into your own hands.

Odo:
The law? Commander, laws change, depending on who's making them - Cardassians one day, Federation the next. But justice is justice.

Major Kira:
Wait a minute - Ibudan goes into the holosuite alone, locks the door. Nobody transports in, a few minutes later he is murdered. How's that possible?

Odo:
It's not. Unless the murder was committed by someone who could get through the cracks in the door - say, a shape-shifter.

Commander Sisko:
What the hell do you people intend to accomplish here?

Bajoran #1:
We want the shape-shifter!

Commander Sisko:
And what do you think you're gonna do to him *if* you get to him?

Zayra:
[sarcastic] He's right. How do you get a rope around the neck of a shape-shifter?

Quark:
[about Odo] He's an ill-tempered, overbearing, cross-patch. But he was no Cardassian collaborator, and he's no killer.

Zayra:
I can't believe you're defending him, Quark. You're his worst enemy.

Quark:
Guess that's the closest thing he has in this world to a friend.

Odo:
Quark - think you could use a shape-shifter in your organization?

Quark:
[looks at Odo puzzled, then laughs nervously] You had me going.

Odo:
I did, didn't I?

[last lines]

Keiko O'Brien:
My name is Keiko O'Brien, I'll be your teacher. Why don't we turn on our computers and access the files on Bajor to find out a little bit more about the people and history of this world?

Sisko:
[Keiko has come to Sisko to broach the idea of opening a school on the station after seeing Jake and Nog get into trouble] You won't get any argument from me, Mrs. O'Brien. When I heard what happened this morning on the promenade...

Jake Sisko:
[interrupting] We weren't doing anything!

Sisko:
[giving him a Look] I don't want to talk about this now.

Sisko:
[referring to Nog] If I *hear* of you hanging around with him...

Jake Sisko:
[getting ready to run for his life] I thought you didn't want to talk about this now!

Odo:
What do you want me to do again?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Save the Queen.

Sorm:
[after vaporizing Tauvid Rem] I thought it was on stun.

Arissa:
I didn't realize I tripped an alarm.

Odo:
You didn't. You're good.

Arissa:
I still got caught.

Odo:
I've been following you.

Arissa:
I didn't know.

Odo:
I'm good too.

Odo:
Are you waiting for someone?

Arissa:
You. Where have you been all my life?

Odo:
Pardon me?

Arissa:
Isn't that what you were hoping I'd say?

Odo:
It's just that you keep glancing at the door.

Arissa:
I'm waiting for someone.

Odo:
That's all I meant.

Arissa:
Sorry, I thought you had other things on your mind. Must be those bedroom eyes of yours.

Arissa:
I was a net-girl. I told myself I wasn't selling my body since there was no actual contact. But I was. I let men into my mind for money. Draim was one of them. That's how we first met. Before I knew it I was working for him. He payed me more than I'd ever seen before. I was so far removed from the consequences of what I was doing, it was easy to pretend that I wasn't hurting anyone. I'd hear things now and then... Some businessman Draim had me investigate would disappear. I tried to convince myself it had nothing to do with me. But after a while I couldn't pretend anymore. I wanted out. I guess I'm finally going to get my wish. Only problem is, I'll be dead. Oh, I don't want to cry. The dead don't cry.

Odo:
Isn't that the woman I was supposed to steal away from Falcon?

Doctor Bashir:
Well, uh... yes, but, um... since you didn't show up...

Odo:
...you swept her off her feet.

Doctor Bashir:
You didn't come here to talk to me about women. Did you? Aah! This is about 'Bedroom Eyes', isn't it?

Odo:
Who told you about her? Kira?

Doctor Bashir:
Nope.

Odo:
Dax?

Doctor Bashir:
Actually it was Miles.

[O'Brien - playing Falcon in one of Bashir's holonovels - dupes Bashir threatening him with a gun]

Doctor Bashir:
This isn't fair, Odo and I were talking.

Chief O'Brien:
[as Falcon] Didn't anyone ever tell ya? You shouldn't stop for hitchhikers!

Arissa:
Why are you doing this?

Odo:
Doing what?

Arissa:
Helping me.

Odo:
Why not?

Arissa:
You mean you're just doing this out of the kindness of your heart?

Odo:
I... don't have a heart.

Arissa:
You could have fooled me.

Odo:
I've done things in my life I'm not proud of too. You worked for Draim; I worked for the Cardassians. I never had the courage to walk away. You did. I admire that.

Arissa:
I've never been admired for anything other than the way I look.

Odo:
Most people can't see past the surface - especially when what they see is so beautiful.

Doctor Bashir:
You can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway.

Odo:
So, did you find anything in Tauvid's locker?

Arissa:
Would you believe me if I said no?

Odo:
Actually, I'd have you strip searched.

Arissa:
That might be fun.

Arissa:
You keep threatening to have me stripped down and examined. I'm trying not to read too much into that.

Captain Sisko:
Where is Odo? He asked me to arrange a conference with Starfleet Intelligence at 0800.

Major Kira:
I guess he's running late.

Captain Sisko:
He's never late.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
He's never spent the night with a woman before.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Odo and a woman - it was bound to happen sooner or later, right?

Major Kira:
I suppose.

Lt. Commander Worf:
[interrupting, slightly disgruntled] You can begin your experiment at any time!

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I'm talking to Kira.

Lt. Commander Worf:
You're not talking, you're gossiping. And besides, Odo is quite capable of taking care of himself.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Don't shout across the room. If you want to... "gossip" with us, then come down here.

Odo:
I fell in love with a woman who never really existed.

Arissa:
She did exist. She was real. And she loved you. In a way, she still does.

[last lines]

Arissa:
I'll never forget you, Odo. Never.

Major Kira:
What do you think is gonna happen here, Dukat? That you're gonna wear me down with your charming personality? That I'm gonna be swept off my feet by that insincere smile? Are you really so deluded that you actually believe that we're gonna have some kind of intimate relationship?

Gul Dukat:
Oh, we already do.

Gul Dukat:
Oh, I could make things very pleasant for you here, Kira.

Major Kira:
You could start by doing something about your breath.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
So, what do you plan on doing the next couple of hours?

Captain Sisko:
I haven't given it much thought.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
Maybe now would be a good time to contact your father.

Captain Sisko:
Maybe.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
Benjamin, you haven't spoken to him for months. And Jake is his grandson.

Captain Sisko:
How do I explain that I evacuated every Federation citizen off Deep Space Nine except his grandson?

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
You'll think of something. You always do.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
[on a traditional Klingon wedding ceremony] First we'll shed blood, and then we'll feast.

Worf:
As it should be.

Captain Sisko:
Take it from me, old man: a small wedding is the way to go.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
You get married the way you want, and I'll get married the way I want. I'll see you later, Captain. [leaves with Worf]

Captain Sisko:
Try not to break any bones!

Captain Sisko:
How is the restaurant doing?

Joseph Sisko:
All right. It's been three weeks since I poisoned anyone.

Garak:
Ever since it's become public knowledge that you're genetically engineered, you used every opportunity to show off.

Doctor Bashir:
I have nothing to hide anymore. I might as well use what I have.

Garak:
Well - what are our chances? Over fifty percent?

Doctor Bashir:
Thirty-two... point seven.

Garak:
I'm sorry I asked.

Garak:
You're not genetically engineered; you're a Vulcan.

Doctor Bashir:
If I'm a Vulcan, then how do you explain my boyish smile?

Garak:
Not so boyish anymore, Doctor.

[Quark serves Kira a drink]

Quark:
This one's on the house.

Major Kira:
What do you want, Quark?

Quark:
The usual: peace, love and understanding - not to mention a generous profit margin.

Quark:
You know, I never expected to say this, but as occupations go - this one's not so bad.

Major Kira:
Yeah, I suppose that's true if all you're worried about is a monthly balance sheet.

Quark:
I'm not just concerned with profit, Major. Look around: do you see any ghetto fences dividing the promenade? Or exhausted Bajoran slave laborers sprawled on the ground after a grueling day in the ore processing center? Do you hear the cries of starving children? I don't. Now don't get me wrong; I miss the Federation too. All I'm saying is: things could be a lot worse.

Joseph Sisko:
Are things really as bad as the news service claims?

Captain Sisko:
Maybe worse.

Joseph Sisko:
Well, you certainly know how to comfort a frightened old man.

Captain Sisko:
You didn't raise me to be a liar.

Joseph Sisko:
I raised you to be a chef, for all the good it did me.

Joseph Sisko:
You know, there's something I just don't understand. You're always telling me that space is big, that it's an endless frontier, filled with infinite wonders.

Captain Sisko:
It's true.

Joseph Sisko:
Well, if that's the case, you would think it would be more than enough room to allow people to leave each other alone.

Captain Sisko:
It just doesn't work that way. It should; but it doesn't.

Nog:
I still don't see why we couldn't install a few chairs on the bridge.

Chief O'Brien:
Because this ship wasn't designed for chairs.

Nog:
Well, my feet aren't designed to stand for long periods of time. They get tired.

Chief O'Brien:
Maybe we should leave you behind.

Nog:
My feet might like that, but I wouldn't.

Chief O'Brien:
It's not your feet you need to worry about, it's your stomach. Have you noticed? There isn't a single food replicator anywhere on this ship.

Nog:
That shouldn't be a problem. Captain Sisko said there'll be plenty of field rations.

Chief O'Brien:
Try eating field rations for three weeks, and then tell me it isn't a problem.

Doctor Bashir:
I'm so glad that you find the lack of proper medical facilities amusing; but if trouble breaks out, it's not a viewscreen or a chair or even a sandwich you'll be wanting. It's a bio-bed, with a surgical tissue regenerator.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
Maybe. But right now I would settle for a viewscreen.

Nog:
Or a chair.

Chief O'Brien:
Or a sandwich.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
Twenty-two seconds until the explosion.

Nog:
Twenty-two seconds - that's plenty of time!

Chief O'Brien:
See, Cadet, there's nothing to worry about.

Martok:
Klingons make great warriors, but terrible doctors.

[During a secret mission, Sisko and his crew lose their warp drive]

Garak:
Forgive my ignorance, but if we don't have warp drive, how long is it gonna take us to reach the closest Federation starbase?

Captain Sisko:
A long time, Mr. Garak.

Garak:
How long?

Doctor Bashir:
Seventeen years, two months and three days - give or take an hour.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
Let's see... a radial geodesic in a thirty-nine Cochrane warp field contracts normal space at a rate of...

Doctor Bashir:
[with confident authority] Full impulse one point three seconds before the bomb detonates.

Captain Sisko:
Dax?

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
[off her console] The computer agrees with Julian.

Garak:
Of course it does... they think alike.

Major Kira:
Who are you?

Akorem Laan:
I am the Emissary.

[O'Brien and Bashir are straightening up the O'Brien's quarters for Keiko, who is returning after two months]

Doctor Bashir:
It is sort of a shame to pack this stuff away.

Chief O'Brien:
Wish we didn't have to.

Doctor Bashir:
It's like a sculpture, a monument to your year as a bachelor.

Chief O'Brien:
I suppose it is.

Doctor Bashir:
Who are we to dismantle this piece of art?

Chief O'Brien:
I don't know. But if we don't, Keiko will dismantle me.

Keiko O'Brien:
The one good thing about going away is coming home.

Molly O'Brien:
Daddy, Daddy, I have a little brother!

Chief Miles Edward O'Brien:
Really? [points at Molly's doll] Is that him?

Molly O'Brien:
No, he's in there.

[She points at her mum's belly. O'Brien looks up]

Keiko O'Brien:
Surprise!

Doctor Bashir:
Quark, did you hear? Chief O'Brien is having a baby!

Quark:
I thought your females carried your young.

Quark:
I remember when my nephew Nog was a baby. Cutest thing you ever saw! You know babies - every little thing they pick up goes straight into their ears.

Quark:
Did you hear? Keiko's gonna have another baby!

Lt. Commander Worf:
[alarmed] Now?

Chief O'Brien:
No! Seven months.

Lt. Commander Worf:
I see...

Chief O'Brien:
[to Bashir] Worf delivered Molly, you know.

Doctor Bashir:
Really?

Chief O'Brien:
The Enterprise was damaged. Keiko and he were trapped together when her time came.

Doctor Bashir:
[to Worf] Oh well, I'll, uh, be sure and call you, when she's ready to deliver; you can lend a hand.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Seven months? Unfortunately I will be away from the station at that time... Far away... Visiting my parents, on Earth... Excuse me.

[leaves in a hurry]

Captain Sisko:
[on relinquishing his role as Emissary] No more ceremonies to attend; no more blessings to give; no more prophecies to fulfill. I'm just a Starfleet officer again. All I have to worry about are the Klingons, the Dominion, and the Maquis. I feel like I'm on vacation!

Captain Sisko:
I remember when I got promoted to lieutenant; it took me a while to get used to being called 'sir' by my friends who were still ensigns.

Odo:
Forgive me, Major, I don't mean to be difficult, but your faith seems to have led you to something of a contradiction.

Major Kira:
I don't see it as a contradiction.

Odo:
I don't understand.

Major Kira:
That's the thing about faith. If you don't have it you can't understand it, and if you do - no explanation is necessary.

[Kira has suggested Major Jatarn as new first officer for Sisko]

Major Kira:
If, um... if you don't hit it off with Major Jatarn, um, I can think of a few other people. Shouldn't be that hard to find someone to replace me.

Captain Sisko:
I don't doubt that I can find someone to fill your post. But to replace you...

Chief O'Brien:
[pointing at Morn] I see you found someone to play darts with... I've set up a board in our quarters so Molly and I can play.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, Morn's, um... he's pretty good.

Chief O'Brien:
So's Molly.

[both sighing]

Chief O'Brien, Doctor Bashir:
[simultaneously] It's not the same!

Kai Opaka:
[as prophet] Who are you?

Captain Sisko:
Don't you know me?

Kai Opaka:
[as prophet] Know you? How can I know someone who doesn't know himself?

Major Kira:
[as prophet] You are the Sisko.

Kai Opaka:
[as prophet] We are of Bajor.

Captain Sisko:
What does that mean?

Kai Opaka:
[as prophet] You are of Bajor.

Akorem Laan:
[to Sisko] Your pagh is strong. I see now why Kai Opaka believed you were the Emissary. And why Winn fears you.

[Sisko is criticizing Akorem's plan to bring back Bajor's ancient traditions]

Akorem Laan:
Must I remind you, Captain? I'm merely fulfilling the will of the Prophets.

Captain Sisko:
How do you know that?

Akorem Laan:
I'm the Emissary.

Captain Sisko:
And what you've done with the position has made me wish I had never given it up.

[Kira places a crude clay sculpture in front of Sisko]

Major Kira:
I want you to have this. It's an original Kira Nerys. Could be very valuable one day.

Captain Sisko:
I hear she didn't make many.

Captain Sisko:
I was just reading one of Akorem's poems, "The Call of the Prophets".

Major Kira:
Oh, that's one of my favorites. It's a shame he never finished it.

Captain Sisko:
He did. Look.

[he hands her the PADD with the poem]

Major Kira:
Now, this is confusing. The last time I read this poem, it ended after the 12th stanza. If the timeline's been changed, then why do I remember things the way they used to be?

Captain Sisko:
The Prophets work in mysterious ways.

Chief O'Brien:
Wanna try for twins?

Keiko O'Brien:
I don't think it works that way. You'd better brush up on your biology.

Chief O'Brien:
Teach me!

[first lines; Bashir and O'Brien enter the O'Briens' quarters, wearing bomber jackets]

Doctor Bashir:
I thought you said you'd started straightening this place up!

Chief O'Brien:
You should have seen it earlier.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, Keiko's shuttle will be here before we know it. We should have left the holosuite hours ago.

Chief O'Brien:
What, and let the Jerries cross the Channel? Never!

Ezri Dax:
It's a strange sensation, dying. No matter how many times it happens to you, you never get used to it.

[first lines]

Ensign Ezri Dax:
It's funny. Before yesterday, I'd never set foot on this station, but... it's as familiar to me as the back of my hand. Isn't that odd?

Jake Sisko:
[about Ezri Dax] She is cute.

Captain Sisko:
She is also about 300 years too old for you.

Quark:
So, what do you think?

Doctor Bashir:
About what?

Quark:
About her.

Doctor Bashir:
About who?

Quark:
Dax!

Doctor Bashir:
...Oh, Ezri. She seems... nice.

Quark:
Meaning what?

Doctor Bashir:
Meaning... nice.

Quark:
Oh, come on, Doctor. I know the way you felt about Jadzia.

Doctor Bashir:
She's not Jadzia.

Quark:
She's the next best thing. So - are you interested?

Doctor Bashir:
Sounds to me like you're the one who's interested, Quark.

Quark:
It's not every day you get a second chance with a woman.

Doctor Bashir:
It's not the same woman!

Quark:
She's still Dax, isn't she?

Doctor Bashir:
More or less.

Quark:
Well, that's good enough for me. Ready for a little competition?

Doctor Bashir:
You're insane.

Quark:
And you... are going to lose!

Captain Sisko:
What are you gonna learn in the next few months that you haven't already learned in the last 300 years?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
Oh, how to keep from breaking into tears for no reason... How to resist the urge to stand on my head - things like that.

Captain Sisko:
Why are you standing on your head, by the way?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
Emony used to do it.

Captain Sisko:
The gymnast?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
She found it relaxing.

Captain Sisko:
Do you?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
Actually, it's giving me a headache.

Quark:
Remember all those late night tongo games?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
Who could forget?

Quark:
Mmm...

Ensign Ezri Dax:
Wait a minute... You owe me ten strips of latinum from our last game!

Odo:
Why don't you join us for dinner tonight?

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
I don't want to put you out.

Colonel Kira:
Oh no, please come; it'll take the pressure off me. All he does is sit there and count how many times I chew.

Ensign Ezri Dax:
I told him all about Trill traditions - Jadzia did. We discussed them - *they* discussed them.

Captain Sisko:
I understand.

Ensign Ezri Dax:
These pronouns are going to drive me crazy!

Garak:
Look at you. You're pathetic! A confused child, trying to live up to a legacy left by her predecessors. You're not worthy of the name 'Dax'. I knew Jadzia. She was vital, alive, she owned herself; and you - you don't even know who you are. How dare you presume to help me? You can't even help yourself! - Now get out of here, before I say something unkind.

[Garak has tried to force open the door of an airlock]

Garak:
I can't believe the way I humiliated myself back there. I just... wanted to get out. I couldn't breathe.

Ensign Ezri Dax:
If you were looking for fresh air, you sure were knocking on the wrong door.

Ezri Dax:
Do you remember anything traumatic happening to you when you were young? Something involving being trapped in a confined space?

Garak:
If I had been that careless, my father would have left me there, to teach me a lesson.

Garak:
They have no idea that I broke their code. All those Cardassians are going to die because of me!

Ensign Ezri Dax:
I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

Garak:
What other way is there?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
That by helping to end the war, you'll be saving lives.

Garak:
Save lives? And what lives would I be saving? Human? Klingon? Romulan?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
And Cardassian.

Garak:
No, not Cardassians! They're going to fight to the bitter end; the Dominion will see to that. Don't you understand? Don't you see? I wanted to believe that I was helping my people, liberating them. But all I've done is to pave the way for their annihilation. I'm a traitor!

[Dax has decided to leave Starfleet]

Captain Sisko:
Well, if you're leaving Starfleet, you'll have to find something to do. Let's see. Maybe you could become one of the people who take care of the symbiont pools. It's quiet in those caves, no one around, no one expecting great things of you. You could spend the rest of your life underground, in the dark, stirring mud. Eighty or ninety years of that just might be what you need. And as for Dax, that symbiont had eight amazing lives. So what if the ninth was a waste?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
It means a lot to me that you want me to stay, but... I can't.

Captain Sisko:
Because of Worf?

Ensign Ezri Dax:
Mostly.

Captain Sisko:
Well... you just say the word, and I will intimidate him for you.

[Dax has been promoted to full counselor]

Captain Sisko:
[to Dax] Congratulations, Lieutenant. I want you to take a good look around. You have just agreed to take responsibility for the mental health of everyone in this room. You have your work cut out for you.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, I'm glad they made you a lieutenant. It would've been hard taking advice from an ensign.

Chief O'Brien:
Since when did you take advice from anyone?

Chief O'Brien:
So, let me get this straight: all we have to do is get past an enemy fleet, avoid a tachyon detection grid, beam into the middle of Klingon headquarters and avoid the Brotherhood of the Sword long enough to set these things up and activate them in front of Gowron?

Lt. Commander Worf:
If we succeed, there will be many songs sung in our honor.

Chief O'Brien:
Let's hope we're there to hear them.

Gul Dukat:
Major, I must say I'm shocked. You use my daughter to lure me here, you're asking me to risk my ship on some fool's errand into the Klingon Empire, and you're pregnant. I hope First Minister Shakaar appreciates what a lucky man he is.

Major Kira Nerys:
Shakaar's not the father.

Gul Dukat:
Then who is?

Major Kira Nerys:
Chief O'Brien.

Major Kira Nerys:
[pointing at her pregnant belly] Don't forget, this... is still your fault. [Siddig is the real life father of Visitor's baby]

Doctor Bashir:
My fault?

Major Kira Nerys:
You performed the transfer from Keiko to me.

Doctor Bashir:
After you volunteered.

Major Kira Nerys:
After you put the idea in my head.

Doctor Bashir:
After you flew the runabout into an asteroid field.

Major Kira Nerys:
After you insisted we check on those anomalous bio-scans.

Doctor Bashir:
That was Keiko!

Major Kira Nerys:
Well, that's right, it was, but I'd rather blame you.

Doctor Bashir:
Whatever makes you happy.

Chief O'Brien:
I hate prototypes.

Quark:
Captain! You're just in time for happy hour.

Captain Sisko:
Do I look happy, Quark?

Quark:
[about Odo] We all have our failures, and he's mine. Ever since he lost his shapeshifting abilities, I haven't been able to get a smile out of him.

Captain Sisko:
Where is he?

Quark:
I'm telling you, Captain, that's one depressed ex-Changeling. He's upstairs at his usual table. Just follow the black cloud.

Captain Sisko:
Starfleet's sending an infiltration team to Klingon territory. Their orders are to do whatever it takes to prove that Gowron's a shapeshifter.

Major Kira Nerys:
Tough assignment. Who're they sending?

Captain Sisko:
Me.

Jake Sisko:
[about his father] Sometimes, I wish that he wasn't so good at his job. That way, maybe every once in a while they'd give someone else the tough assignments.

Jake Sisko:
You know, you can tell a lot about people's moods just by watching them walk on the Promenade. When things are going good, people take their time, window-shop, talk to their friends. [sighs] And then there's days like today...

Doctor Bashir:
Everybody's in a hurry.

Jake Sisko:
They can feel the Klingons breathing down their necks.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, I shall have to remember to walk a little slower. Show no fear - that's my motto.

Major Kira Nerys:
It's hard to believe one Changeling could cause so much chaos.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
He can if he's impersonating the leader of the Klingon Empire.

Captain Sisko:
Starfleet has ordered us to try to expose the Gowron Changeling. I want you to come with us.

Odo:
Hm... Maybe it would be better for you to take Deputy Yndar. There's nothing I can do that he can't.

Captain Sisko:
I don't need Yndar, I need you.

Odo:
What you need is someone who can turn into Gowron's pet targ. I can't do that anymore.

Captain Sisko:
[as Jodmos] What's wrong, Dukat? Haven't you ever seen a Klingon before?

Chief O'Brien:
[as Pahash] It's not easy being funny wearing these teeth.

[Worf is testing his comrades' Klingon reactions]

Lt. Commander Worf:
Are you a Klingon warrior or an Alverian dung beetle?

Odo:
[as Kodrak] I really don't see the point.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Do not look away from me! I called you a dung beetle.

Odo:
I heard you.

Lt. Commander Worf:
And what is your response?

Odo:
You should have your eyes examined.

[Sisko/Jodmos hits Worf with the back of his hand]

Captain Sisko:
[as Jodmos] Are you questioning the validity of my plan?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Very convincing, Captain. But was it your intention to challenge me to a battle to the death?

Captain Sisko:
[surprised] No, not at all.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Then next time, do not strike me with the back of your hand. Use your fist.

Chief O'Brien:
You know, I think I'm actually beginning to like bloodwine.

Odo:
It's really not too bad - except for the taste.

Odo:
[about his drink] It's a pity it doesn't have any bubbles.

[when encountering another Bird-of-Prey, Dukat destroys it with a couple of photon torpedoes]

Captain Sisko:
Was that really necessary?

Gul Dukat:
It was either that or trust in Mr. Worf's ability to lie. And frankly, I have more faith in my weapons.

Gul Dukat:
[to Sisko] And now, Jodmos, son of Kobor - your medal awaits you.

Gowron:
You want to kill me, Worf? You're welcome to try.

Gowron:
[to Worf] You should have killed me when you had the chance. I promise, you won't get another.

Captain Sisko:
Where Gowron leads, the Council will follow.

[Sisko has reverted to his Human self]

Doctor Bashir:
Now, that's better, isn't it?

Captain Sisko:
I don't know. I could do without the ridges, but I kind of miss the fangs.

Martok:
[watching Worf fight Gowron] What's he doing? Why doesn't Sisko just shoot him?

Odo:
I have a better question. Why isn't Gowron letting his bodyguards kill Worf? I'll tell you why: Klingon honor, a concept you should be very familiar with. My people, on the other hand, don't care about honor. What was it you said "There will be no honorable combat, no formal challenges"? Hardly the words of a Klingon. Tell me, general, did Gowron destroy the polaron emitters or did you?

Martok:
[gives a look that tells us he knows he's been made]

Captain Sisko:
[after defeating a Klingon in a wrist-wrestling match] Captain of the Academy wrestling team! [rubs his shoulder] Twenty-two years ago. Ow.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Getting close to Gowron will not be easy. He is guarded around the clock by the Yan-Isleth.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
The Brotherhood of the Sword.

Doctor Bashir:
I don't know if you'd noticed but T'Lani women are quite attractive.

Chief O'Brien:
I'm not blind, you know.

Doctor Bashir:
Course not. But you are married.

Quark:
To our dear departed comrades. We may have had our differences but I'll say this for them men - it's the highest tribute I can think of: they were good customers. They always paid their bar bills on time.

Quark:
At times like this, I'm reminded of the 57th Rule of Acquisition: "Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treasure them!"

Chief O'Brien:
You were wrong, you know... about marriage.

Doctor Bashir:
Whatever you say, Chief.

Chief O'Brien:
Listen to me, Julian! You're the one who's always talking about adventure. Huh... adventure... Oh... marriage is the greatest adventure of them all. It's filled with pitfalls and setbacks and mistakes and... But it's a journey worth taking... 'cause you take it together. I know Keiko's been unhappy about us coming to the station... We still argue about it. But that's all right... At the end of the day we both know we love each other. That's all that matters.

[last lines]

Chief O'Brien:
You know... I wouldn't mind a cup of coffee right now.

Keiko O'Brien:
[surprised] Miles, you never drink coffee in the afternoon.

Chief O'Brien:
Sure I do!

Keiko O'Brien:
[stunned] You do?

Chief O'Brien:
Just 'cause you're married doesn't mean you stop looking at women.

Doctor Bashir:
Just as long as you don't let your wife *see* you look.

Doctor Bashir:
[over subspace] The Chief is quite anxious to return back to the station.

Chief O'Brien:
Well, it's been a long week.

Commander Sisko:
Still, I think we can spare you for another day.

Doctor Bashir:
I agree. If that's okay with you, Chief?

Chief O'Brien:
I suppose another day won't kill me.

Doctor Bashir:
Don't worry, Chief. I'm gonna get you home.

Chief O'Brien:
In a box maybe.

Doctor Bashir:
Nonsense. Don't go giving up on me now.

Chief O'Brien:
I'm not giving up. I'm dying.

Chief O'Brien:
The Cardassians used to rig the supplies they left behind with pressure grenades. I've seen more than one soldier permanently use his appetite that way.

Chief O'Brien:
The way I see it, we have only one chance to survive this thing, and that's to stay alive long enough for Commander Sisko to find us.

Doctor Bashir:
But that won't be for at least another day. He still thinks we're celebrating on T'Lani Prime.

Chief O'Brien:
I said it was our only chance. I didn't say it was a good one.

[after destroying the Ganges, presumably with Sisko, Dax, Bashir and O'Brien on board, the T'Lani and Kelleruns realize that the second runabout has disappeared]

Jakin:
I'm picking up a warp signature.

E'Tyshra:
Sisko! Maybe he and the others weren't on that runabout we destroyed.

Jakin:
They could have transported to the other runabout while our sensors were down.

E'Tyshra:
And then piloted the first ship by remote navigation.

Sharat:
[matter-of-factly] But we saw them die.

E'Tyshra:
Did we?

Odo:
Unauthorized access to crew quarters is a crime, Quark. You could have just asked to use the replicators.

Quark:
There's an old Ferengi saying: "Never ask when you can take". Uh... how d'you figure it out?

Odo:
You claimed Rom fixed your replicators?

Quark:
So?

Odo:
Rom's an idiot. He couldn't fix a straw if it was bent.

Quark:
You're right, Rom is an idiot. Remind me to get rid of him tomorrow.

[Quark finds out his food carrier was the shape-shifted Odo]

Quark:
Ah. I thought the front wheels were sticking a bit.

Quark:
You, gold! Owe, MEEEE!

Major Kira:
You look like you could use some sleep.

Chief O'Brien:
Who's time for sleep? I'd settle for five minutes peace and quiet.

[in the background, Sisko is burning his lips on a too hot coffee]

Commander Sisko:
Chief! I thought you were gonna fix the replicators.

Chief O'Brien:
[disgruntled] You're absolutely right, sir, I knew I'd forgotten something! Can't have the operations chief sitting around daydreaming when there's work to be done, can we? Hohohoho, I'll get right on it!

Chief O'Brien:
"Fix the replicators, chief." "My console's offline, chief." Should've transferred to a cargo drone. No people, no complaints.

Major Kira:
I suppose this isn't a good time to tell you that no. 3 turbolift has broken down again?

[O'Brien looks at her confused]

Major Kira:
Joking, Chief.

Chief O'Brien:
Major larks true pepper.

Major Kira:
What?

Chief O'Brien:
Let birds go further loose, maybe. Shout easy play.

Major Kira:
Chief... you're not making any sense.

Chief O'Brien:
Round the turbulent quick - Close the reverse harbor - A-ankle try... sound - R-reset gleaming - Di-dinner to bug.

[he moves away from her]

Major Kira:
Chief, wait!

Chief O'Brien:
When?

[Quark is testing his dabo wheel when Odo enters]

Quark:
Care to place a friendly wager?... If it's your reputation you're thinking about, no one need ever know.

Odo:
It has nothing to do with my reputation. The truth is, I never... learned the game.

Quark:
You mean you sat here for all these years and you don't even know how to gamble?

Odo:
That's correct.

Quark:
No wonder you always look so bored.

Odo:
Quark. Am I to believe that you're volunteering to help?

Quark:
Who said anything about volunteering? We can haggle over price later.

Quark:
Major Kira! Lieutenant Dax! I'd be honored to have you join my little party, as my guests, of course.

Major Kira:
What's all this, Quark? You cheat your 1,000th customer?

Quark:
Who says Bajorans don't have a sense of humor?

[Quark is talking to an aphasia patient with lots of gestures and mimics]

Quark:
Food! Dabo! Drinks! Money! Hand, mine - give!

Commander Sisko:
Well, Quark, I see even you couldn't weasel your way clear of this one.

Quark:
You underestimate the Ferengi immune system, Commander. I'm merely here visiting my less fortunate customers to make sure they're not faking the illness to avoid paying their bills!

Commander Sisko:
No one could be that devious.

Quark:
I am.

Jaheel:
Dark - fellow - distance...

Odo:
Yeah, tell me about it.

Quark:
Odo? Quark to Odo? You're still with us?

Odo:
Try not to sound too disappointed.

Commander Sisko:
We need to find out who created this virus.

Commander Sisko:
[to Kira] You're our best hope.

Major Kira:
Eighteen years is a long time.

Odo:
Besides, even if she finds who did this, that's no guarantee they can help us.

Commander Sisko:
We just have to hope they remember the antidote.

Odo:
That's assuming they ever bothered to create one.

Commander Sisko:
No need to ask how you're doing.

Major Kira:
Chasing after ghosts!

Commander Sisko:
You have twelve hours to catch one.

Major Kira:
And then?

Commander Sisko:
People start dying.

[Sisko has agreed to let Kira take a runabout to get help from Bajor]

Odo:
Let's just hope there's someone left to greet her when she returns.

Major Kira:
Listen, Surmak. I have a station full of dying people, and you are the closest thing there is to an expert on this virus.

Surmak Ren:
I sympathize, Major, but I don't think I can help you.

Major Kira:
All right. Then how about helping yourself?

Surmak Ren:
Meaning what?

Major Kira:
Meaning... I've been infected with your virus, Doctor. So now you're infected too.

Major Kira:
Listen, Doctor, um... I-I'll be in ops. If you need me, use this string impact.

[Surmak looks at her puzzled]

Major Kira:
Lot show red intense.

Surmak Ren:
I think you'd better sit down, Major.

Commander Sisko:
We'll have to get down there and blow it manually.

[he tries to get up but falls back, exhausted]

Odo:
I'll do it.

Commander Sisko:
All right. You can cross barrels. All job appalled.

Odo:
What was that?

Commander Sisko:
Bread - the arrive - seen earlier.

Odo:
Oh, I see...

Odo:
I need to get to docking port V now. That ship's gonna explode in five minutes!

Quark:
I'll beam you over.

Odo:
You?

Quark:
Relax. I served on a Ferengi freighter for eight years.

Odo:
All right.

[he rushes onto the transporter pad]

Quark:
I must have witnessed the procedure hundreds of times!

Odo:
Witnessed? You mean to say you never handled the controls yourself?

Quark:
Energizing!

[waves Odo goodbye as he beams him away]

[last lines]

Commander Sisko:
[after burning his lips on a too hot coffee yet again] O'Brien!

Odo:
[after saving Quark from an abusive diner and throwing the diner out] Well, another satisfied customer.

Doctor Bashir:
A vodka martini. Stirred, not shaken.

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
Right away, sir.

Nog:
The news just keeps getting better, doesn't it?

Captain Sisko:
What news?

Colonel Kira:
Oh... nothing, sir, we're, uh, talking about a holosuite program.

Doctor Bashir:
Vic Fontaine's hotel's just been bought by... gangsters.

Captain Sisko:
I see. When do you plan on going back to work?

Kasidy Yates:
There are times when I just can't figure you out.

Captain Sisko:
Well - maybe that's part of the attraction.

Kasidy Yates:
Believe that if you want to.

Captain Sisko:
You want to know... you *really* want to know what my problem is? I'll tell you: Las Vegas 1962, that's my problem. In 1962, black people weren't very welcome there. Oh sure, they could be performers or janitors, but customers? Never.

Kasidy Yates:
Maybe that's the way it was in the real Vegas, but that is not the way it is at Vic's. I have never felt uncomfortable there, and neither has Jake.

Captain Sisko:
But don't you see? That's the lie. In 1962, the civil rights movement was still in its infancy. It wasn't an easy time for our people, and I'm not going to pretend that it was.

Kasidy Yates:
Baby - I know that Vic's isn't a totally accurate representation of the way things were, but... it isn't meant to be. It shows us the way things could've been - the way they should've been.

Captain Sisko:
We cannot ignore the truth about the past.

Kasidy Yates:
Going to Vic's isn't going to make us forget who we are or where we came from. What it does is reminds us that we are no longer bound by any limitations - except the ones we impose on ourselves.

Doctor Bashir:
Miles - you thinking what I'm thinking?

Chief O'Brien:
It depends on what you're thinking.

Frankie Eyes:
I'm thinking of writing a book.

Colonel Kira:
What's the title?

Frankie Eyes:
Well, maybe you could help me think one up.

Colonel Kira:
My talents lie in other directions.

Frankie Eyes:
Good title! Mind if I use it?

Colonel Kira:
I'd say you already paid for it.

Frankie Eyes:
So what do you say we, uh, hit the roulette table and see if I can't buy Chapter One?

Frankie Eyes:
The name's Frank Chalmers. But everyone calls me Frankie Eyes.

Colonel Kira:
Why is that?

Frankie Eyes:
'cause I don't miss a trick.

Tony Cicci:
That's the problem with our business - too many guys named Paulie.

Tony Cicci:
So where're you from again?

Odo:
Bajor.

Tony Cicci:
That's in Jersey, right?

Odo:
Right.

Vic Fontaine:
There's got to be a way for us to bury the hatchet.

Frankie Eyes:
I already did - in your head.

Chief O'Brien:
Computer, delete characters Frankie Eyes and, er... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Tony Cicci:
Cicci.

Doctor Bashir:
Cicci.

Chief O'Brien:
...Cicci from the holosuite's program.

Tony Cicci:
[to Frankie] What's a 'holosuites'?

Frankie Eyes:
Beats me.

Doctor Bashir:
Where have you been?

Chief O'Brien:
I don't wanna talk about it. [after possibly having been subjected to a strip search]

Chief O'Brien:
Robbing casinos isn't part of any Starfleet job description I've ever read.

Nog:
Uh-oh...

Odo:
What do you mean, "uh-oh"? We don't have time for "uh-oh".

Nog:
Piece of cake!

[when finally cracking the safe after about ten minutes and multiple unsuccessful attempts]

Mr. Zeemo:
Where's my money?

Odo:
Say goodbye to Frankie Eyes.

Quark:
I'm telling you, Morn, something's going on in Vic's that we don't know about.

Colonel Kira:
Mr. Zeemo! It's a great honor to meet you.

Mr. Zeemo:
I know.

Doctor Bashir:
What you have there is a sebaceous cyst.

Chief O'Brien:
I know it's a cyst, but it's getting bigger.

Doctor Bashir:
There's nothing to worry about. Dermatalogically speaking you're perfectly healthy.

Chief O'Brien:
Oh, I'm perfectly healthy, except I've got a disgusting cyst on the back of my neck. Now either I paint a nose, eyes, and mouth on it and pretend I've got two heads or you take it off.

Doctor Bashir:
I'll get you some paint.

Chief O'Brien:
Julian! Get it off me!

Doctor Bashir:
Alright, alright. But you know what they say: two heads are better than one.

Chief O'Brien:
Julian, I'm waiting!

Chief O'Brien:
[with Worf and Bashir in a holding cell] Captain! Can we leave now?

Captain Sisko:
I'll tell Constable Odo to let you go... in the morning!

Lt. Commander Worf:
We are Starfleet officers; and Starfleet officers do not brawl with each other.

Chief O'Brien:
It wasn't much of a brawl really - I grabbed you, you shoved me, and Julian was tossed over a table...

Quark:
I've reconsidered it. My decision stands.

Rom:
But brother...

Quark:
*Don't* "brother" me! In this bar, you are not my brother. You're my employee. And employees have no right to question the management's decisions!

Quark:
Rom, we shouldn't be fighting. We're brothers.

Rom:
Not when it comes to business. We're nothing but employer and employee. You've said so yourself.

Quark:
I was wrong.

Rom:
No. You weren't.

Quark:
The only thing I regret is not being an only child.

Quark:
Rom, you have to listen to me. The FCA does not answer to anyone. And if Brunt decides to get rid of you, I won't be able to stop him.

Rom:
Look at it this way: if Brunt gets rid of me, then all your problems are solved - you always said you wanted to be an only child!

Rom:
You never cared what happened to me before.

Quark:
I always cared about you. I tried to protect you, save you from yourself.

Rom:
How? By telling me I was an idiot my whole life?

Quark:
I had to be tough on you; I was trying to make you a better Ferengi.

Rom:
What you were trying to do was make yourself feel important. Making me feel dumb made you feel smart. But I'm not dumb! And you're not half as smart as you think you are!

Rom:
[reading from Marx's Manifesto] "Workers of the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

Rom:
[of Leeta] She kissed me!

Quark:
There's no accounting for taste.

[Bashir has suggested to Rom to form a bargaining association to prevent exploitation]

Rom:
You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation, we want to find a way to become the exploiters.

Doctor Bashir:
Suit yourself. But I don't see *you* exploiting anyone.

Rom:
We're going to form... a union!

Rom:
It won't happen, unless you make it happen.

Chief O'Brien:
[about his ancestor Sean O'Brien] You know, he had the biggest funeral in all of Western Pennsylvania.

Rom:
[startled] Funeral?

Chief O'Brien:
Mm. They fished his body out of the Allegheny River, a week before the strike ended. 32 bullets he had in him. Or was it 34?

Doctor Bashir:
Well - he died a hero.

Chief O'Brien:
He was more than a hero. He was a union man!

Odo:
[to Quark] From what Chief O'Brien tells me about strikes, they sound like trouble. I don't like mobs. In my opinion, if you need one to get what you want, it's not worth getting.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Mr. Worf, you're in love - with the Defiant.

Lt. Commander Worf:
You exaggerate - as usual.

[Worf has decided to move his quarters to the Defiant]

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
You know, Worf, in the end, living on the Defiant isn't going to change anything. You're still going to have to get used to life on the station.

Lt. Commander Worf:
I am not sure I agree.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Sooner or later, you're going to have to adapt.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Perhaps in the end, it'll be all of you that have to adapt to me.

[Brunt's Nausicaan henchmen are throwing darts at each other's chest]

Quark:
Doesn't that hurt?

Brunt:
I'm sure it does. Most Nausicaan games do.

Captain Sisko:
[to Quark] Maybe I don't know much about Ferengi culture, but I do know who holds the lease on your bar.

[Rom hands out slips of latinum to potential customers of Quark's bar]

Rom:
Thank you for not patronizing Quark's - Thank you for not patronizing Quark's - Thank you for not patronizing Quark's...

Leeta:
I hope Rom's voice holds out.

Grimp:
I hope our latinum holds out.

Grimp:
[Rule of Acquisition #211] Employees are the rungs on the ladder of success. Don't hesitate to step on them.

Rom:
[Rule of Acquisition #263] Never allow doubt to tarnish your lust for latinum.

Quark:
The only thing this Bajoran Cleansing Ritual has cleansed is my profit margin.

[Rom has decided to quit his job at Quark's]

Rom:
[to Quark] Think about it, from my point of view: if I keep working for you, all I have to look forward to is waiting for you to die, so I can inherit the bar.

Rom:
[bashfully] Well, I don't want you to die.

Quark:
Major! I must say, you are looking particularly cleansed today!

Major Kira:
Just get me two mugs of synthale, a double order of hasperat and, uh... hold the conversation.

Quark:
No wonder I missed you.

[Leeta laughs at Miles and Julian as they enter the bar in ancient warrior costumes]

Doctor Bashir:
I feel silly.

Leeta:
I like it. It shows off your legs.

Chief O'Brien:
There, you see? Your public has spoken.

Leeta:
[kisses Julian] Have fun.

[Myles and Julian walk through the bar to a holosuite]

Doctor Bashir:
What'd you call this holosuite program of yours again?

Chief O'Brien:
The Battle of Clontarf. You, me, and a thousand stalwart Irish Warriors against a ravening horde of Vikings. It's like the Battle of Britain, only with swords.

Doctor Bashir:
How come *you* get to be High King?

Chief O'Brien:
I am a direct descendant of King Brian Boru. Besides, it's my program.

Doctor Bashir:
I suppose that's only fair.

[Worf hauls a criminal into Odo's office]

Lt. Commander Worf:
This p'tak just robbed my quarters.

Odo:
[to deputy] Take him to a holding cell.

[the deputy takes the thief away]

Odo:
I'll need a statement.

Lt. Commander Worf:
And you will have one. But I want to know why such a security breach was allowed to occur in the first place.

Odo:
Unfortunately, these things happen.

Lt. Commander Worf:
They did not happen on the Enterprise.

Odo:
Really? Now let me see.

[consults a PADD]

Odo:
Stardate 46235.7: Ferengi privateers led by DaiMon Lurin boarded and seized control of the Enterprise using two salvaged Klingon Birds-of-Prey. Stardate 45349.1: Berlinghoff Rasmussen, a petty criminal impersonating a scientist, committed numerous acts of theft against the crew of the Enterprise. Shall I continue?

Lt. Commander Worf:
That will not be necessary.

Odo:
I know these incidents are the exception rather than the rule, but if security breaches like these could happen on the flagship of the Federation, imagine the difficulty of maintaining security at an open port such as DS9.

Lt. Commander Worf:
I understand. It is just that I find it irritating.

Odo:
So do I, but I'm afraid you're just going to have to get used to it.

Quark:
Captain, believe me, I want this strike settled as much as you do.

Captain Sisko:
Then settle it.

Quark:
It's not that simple.

Captain Sisko:
Make it simple. Sit down with your brother and hammer out an agreement today.

Quark:
Captain, I'm afraid you don't understand what a delicate situation this is. Even talking with strikers would be a violation of the most sacred precepts of Ferengi culture.

Captain Sisko:
Maybe I don't know much about Ferengi culture, but I do know who holds the lease on your bar.

Quark:
The Federation... and I couldn't ask for better landlords.

Captain Sisko:
That's because we don't ask you to pay your rent, or to reimburse us for your maintenance repairs, or the drain on the station's power supply.

Quark:
You're a very generous people.

Captain Sisko:
Until today. [takes out a padd] Let's see. Five years of back rent, plus power consumption, plus the repairs. Do you know how much latinum that is?

Quark:
A lot.

Captain Sisko:
That's right.

Quark:
I'll talk to my brother.

Captain Sisko:
I'm glad we're in agreement.

Doctor Bashir:
I'm sorry, Commander, but I've discovered we can't afford to die here, not even once!

Commander Sisko:
You died before?

Shel-la:
Many times, too many to count.

Shel-la:
Your doctor acts as though he's seen a miracle.

Commander Sisko:
He's not alone.

Commander Sisko:
Dr. Bashir will give you any medical assistance he can, but understand, we can't take sides in your battle.

Shel-la:
It doesn't matter what I understand if the Nol capture you.

Commander Sisko:
We'd be willing to transport all of you away from here, if that's what you want.

Shel-la:
Away from here? To live one life, to die in peace? To us, this is an ancient prayer that had never been answered, Commander.

Major Kira:
Is something wrong, Opaka?

Kai Opaka:
Contemplating prophecy.

Kai Opaka:
Prophecy can often be vague, Commander. That's why we must test it.

Doctor Bashir:
What's going on?

Commander Sisko:
Talks about a ceasefire.

Doctor Bashir:
No kidding! How'd you arrange that?

Commander Sisko:
I told them we'd transport them off this moon.

Doctor Bashir:
Isn't that a bit like assisting a jailbreak?

Commander Sisko:
I don't need you to interpret the Prime Directive for me, Doctor.

Major Kira:
They're content to die. I always fought to stay alive.

[Major Kira has been ranting about the poor defense measures of the Ennis]

Shel-la:
[quietly] We used to defend ourselves better, Major - safety perimeters, counterattacks, preemptive strikes... And then we realized... that it was all pointless. When you cease to fear death, the rules of war change. You'll understand as the years begin to pass, Major.

Shel-la:
[holding up a phaser] This is an energy weapon?

Commander Sisko:
Yes.

Shel-la:
The Ennis stopped using directed energy weapons centuries ago. Not damaging enough.

Shel-la:
You give us a way to reprogram these microbes and we'll put an end to this war.

Major Kira:
You really think the fear of death will end the fighting? It never has in any other war.

Kai Opaka:
You were right. Kira. They don't know how to do anything else but die. They've forgotten how to live.

Kai Opaka:
Don't deny the violence inside of you, Kira. Only when you accept it can you move beyond it.

Major Kira:
I've known nothing but violence since I was a child.

Kai Opaka:
In the eyes of the Prophets, we're all children.

Major Kira:
I'm afraid the Prophets won't forgive me.

Kai Opaka:
They're just waiting for you to forgive yourself.

Kai Opaka:
I didn't know how or why, but when we came through the wormhole, I knew I wouldn't be returning. You must tell our people, Kira, that I have answered the call of the Prophets. I was brought here because it is time for these people to begin their healing process - just as you were brought here to begin yours.

Commander Sisko:
Opaka - if we can ever find a way...

Kai Opaka:
My work is here now, Commander. But your pagh and mine... will cross again.

Captain Sisko:
[holding a spent power cell of the phaser array] Take a good look at this, people. It says something about this ship. It says that we will fight, and we will keep on fighting, until we can't fight any more!

All:
Yes, sir!

Captain Sisko:
You don't just throw something like this away!

All:
No, sir!

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Are you two ever gonna be finished?

Nog:
Just a few more minutes, Commander.

Chief O'Brien:
That's 'Captain'. It's an old naval tradition. Whoever's in command of a ship, regardless of rank, is referred to as 'Captain.'

Nog:
You mean if I had to take command, I would be called 'Captain,' too?

Chief O'Brien:
Cadet, by the time you took command, there'd be nobody left to call you anything.

Rom:
Brother! Are you all right?

Quark:
No, I am not all right. I just shared a bottle of kanar with... Damar.

Quark:
I tried. I tried my best to run my establishment under this occupation. But you know what, it's no fun. I don't like Cardassians. They're mean and arrogant. And I can't stand the Jem'Hadar. They're creepy. They just stand there like statues, staring at you. That's it. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing business with these people. I want the Federation back. I want to sell root beer again!

[Dax is in command of the Defiant]

Captain Sisko:
I wouldn't get too comfortable in that chair, old man. When this war is over, I'm going to want my ship back!

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Fine. When this war is over, I'm going on a honeymoon.

[Damar has been promoted to the rank of gul]

Quark:
Wait a minute - you started a fight in my bar, and now you're getting a promotion? What kind of way is that to run an army?

Odo:
To become a thing is to know a thing.

Female Shapeshifter:
To assume its form is to begin to understand its existence.

Odo:
When you return to the link, what will become of the entity I'm talking to right now?

Female Shapeshifter:
The drop becomes the ocean.

Odo:
And if you choose to take solid form again?

Female Shapeshifter:
The ocean becomes a drop.

Odo:
[of Kira] I'm so vulnerable to her. All she has to do is smile at me and I'm happy beyond reason. A minor disagreement between us and I'm devastated. It's absurd. Sometimes I wish I could reach inside myself and tear out my feelings for her. But I can't.

Major Kira:
Rom is sitting in a holding cell, being interrogated. He was counting on you. *I* was counting on you!

Odo:
I know.

Major Kira:
You know? Do you realize what you just did? You just handed the Alpha Quadrant to the Dominion.

Odo:
I was in the link.

Major Kira:
Are you saying you forgot?

Odo:
I didn't forget. It just didn't seem to matter.

Major Kira:
A lot of people are going to die. Don't you care?

Odo:
It has nothing to do with me.

[last lines]

Female Shapeshifter:
You look troubled, Odo. Did she upset you?

Odo:
No - not really.

Female Shapeshifter:
Ah.

Michael Eddington:
As far as I'm concerned, my life is over. I'm dead.

Captain Sisko:
For a dead man, you talk a lot.

[Sisko learns that the Maquis have allegedly launched missiles on Cardassia]

Captain Sisko:
I knew the Maquis were desperate, but I didn't believe that they would resort to something like this.

Martok:
A sabre bear is most deadly when it is trapped with no hope of escape.

Captain Sisko:
If those missiles hit Cardassia, it could start a war. Billions of people will be killed.

Michael Eddington:
If you expect me to shed a tear, you're going to be disappointed. I used up all my tears, when the Dominion slaughtered the Maquis. I sat here in this cell for three days and listened to the reports as they came in. In those three days, everyone, and everything I cared about was wiped out.

Captain Sisko:
I heard the same reports. It was a tragedy.

Michael Eddington:
Your generosity of spirit touches me. But you don't give a damn about what happened to us. And I don't give a damn about what happens to you.

Captain Sisko:
Do you want your freedom or not?

Michael Eddington:
Freedom, huh? Tell me, if they did release me - where would I go? What would I do?

Captain Sisko:
Anything you want.

Michael Eddington:
What about bringing the Maquis back from the dead? Can I do that? Can you? Can anyone? No. I didn't think so. In that case, I'll tell you what I want. I wanna lie here till the Jem'Hadar blow this place to pieces - and me along with it.

Michael Eddington:
If you can't have victory, sometimes you just have to settle for revenge.

Captain Sisko:
[laughs sarcastically] Is that what you want? To be remembered as the man who helped bring about the worst war in Federation history?

Michael Eddington:
Not quite the legacy I had in mind. But I can live with it.

Captain Sisko:
[sardonically] Can you?

Michael Eddington:
Let's get one thing straight, Captain. I'll get you to the launch site and I'll help you deactivate those missiles. But then you and I are going to have it out, once and for all.

Captain Sisko:
You want a fight, Mister, I will give you one.

Michael Eddington:
I don't intend to fight you, Captain. I intend to kill you.

Captain Sisko:
[about Cal Hudson] He was a good man.

Michael Eddington:
He felt the same about you. He thought you were wrong about the Maquis; but he forgave you. Which is ironic, considering you never forgave him. You can't forgive any of us. And not because we betrayed Starfleet or the Federation. But because we betrayed *you*.

Captain Sisko:
Report.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Do the words "needle in a haystack" mean anything to you?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
[about the cloaked yet still detectable Defiant] It's like a Ligorian mastodon moving through the forest. You may not be able to see it; but it definitely makes the leaves rustle.

[the runabout with Sisko and Eddington is hunted down by two Jem'Hadar ships]

Michael Eddington:
Dissipating our warp signature didn't work.

Captain Sisko:
Don't tell me the Maquis didn't have Plan B.

Michael Eddington:
You're not going to like it.

Captain Sisko:
Half an AU and closing. If you do have a plan, I guarantee I'll learn to love it.

Michael Eddington:
Attacking two Jem'Hadar soldiers with a pipe, that's a brilliant plan.

Captain Sisko:
It could be worse.

Michael Eddington:
I know, it could be me holding the pipe.

Captain Sisko:
Exactly!

[Eddington shoots a Jem'Hadar soldier who has knocked Sisko down during a fight in a badly lit tunnel]

Captain Sisko:
You have sharp eyes.

Michael Eddington:
Not really, I just waited to see which of you was knocked down first, and then I shot the one still standing.

Captain Sisko:
Thank you for your vote of confidence.

Michael Eddington:
You still there, Captain?

Captain Sisko:
Disappointed?

Michael Eddington:
Just checking.

[Nog is attempting to remove a few Klingons from the Promenade]

Nog:
Either move, or I'm going to have to place you under arrest.

Martok:
You are either very brave, or very stupid, Ferengi!

Nog:
Probably a little of both.

Martok:
[laughs] Indeed. Courage comes in all sizes. But don't tempt fate.

Michael Eddington:
The Maquis won its greatest victories under my leadership.

Captain Sisko:
Your leadership, your shining moment of glory. Michael Eddington gets to take off his gold uniform and play hero. That's what you always wanted, to lead troops in a glorious cause. Well, you had your chance. And look where you led them: right into their graves!

Michael Eddington:
They died because I wasn't there when they needed me most. Because you put me in jail.

Captain Sisko:
They died because you filled their heads with false hopes, sold them dreams of a military victory, when what they needed was a negotiated peace.

Michael Eddington:
We had the Cardassians on the run.

Captain Sisko:
And they ran right into the arms of the Dominion. End of story!

Michael Eddington:
I was their leader. I was responsible for them and I failed. I failed them all.

[Morn has hit Quark with a barstool]

Odo:
Witnesses say you were talking to him right up to the second he went berserk.

Quark:
Of course I was talking to him. That's what bartenders are supposed to do - talk to their customers.

Major Kira:
What exactly was it that you were talking to him about?

Quark:
All I said was that the military personnel on this station were starting to look a little nervous. And when they get nervous, I get nervous.

Odo:
And that's all you said?

Quark:
Basically. I might've done a little harmless theorizing.

Doctor Bashir:
About what?

Quark:
Oh, something like... it was only a matter of time before the Dominion launched a full-scale assault against the Federation, and when that happened, the station would undoubtedly be their first target... And I might have idly suggested... that there wasn't a chance in hell that any of us would get out of here alive.

Odo:
And that's when Morn hit you with a barstool and ran onto the Promenade screaming "We're all doomed".

Quark:
Some people just don't react well to stress.

Captain Sisko:
I didn't know you were married.

Michael Eddington:
We've held the ceremony two weeks before you captured me.

Captain Sisko:
Not much of a honeymoon.

[Eddington is the last one to hold out against the invading Jem'Hadar]

Michael Eddington:
Seems like a perfect time for a song. Wish I could think of one. Does anyone know a good song? Something rousing? Too bad!

[he charges the Jem'Hadar and goes down in the blaze of their fire]

Michael Eddington:
[his last words] Rebecca...

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
If you ask me, Eddington couldn't have picked a better way to go - at least from his point of view. He was a romantic, and what is more romantic than a glorious death in defense of a lost cause?

Captain Sisko:
There is something attractive about a lost cause.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Maybe you have more in common with Eddington than you want to admit.

Captain Sisko:
Maybe.

Captain Sisko:
I called him a traitor once. But in a way he was the most loyal man I ever met. He was a Maquis - right up to the bitter end.

Nog:
Squid. My favorite human food. Mmm. Delicious, sir.

Jake Sisko:
Terrific as always, Dad.

Captain Sisko:
I'm glad you like it.

Nog:
Sir, if I may say so, this sauce tastes very familiar.

Captain Sisko:
Well it should. It's puree of tube grubs.

Jake Sisko:
[vomits in napkin] Tube grubs?

Captain Sisko:
I figured if Nog is willing to eat squid, it's only fair that we try tube grubs. Besides, you said it was terrific.

Jake Sisko:
That was before I knew what it was!

Michael Eddington:
It may look like chicken, but it still tastes like replicated protein molecules to me.

[Odo discovers an aged Klingon entered his office undetected while his back was turned]

Odo:
How did you get in here?

Koloth:
I am Koloth.

Odo:
That doesn't answer my question.

Koloth:
Yes, it does.

Kang:
[to the Albino] Look upon your executioners, killer of children!

Kor:
How do we know that he's even inside?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
Good question.

Koloth:
[gets up] Wait here!

Kor:
Where're you going?

Koloth:
I'm going to find out if he's inside.

Kor:
And how do you intend to do that?

Koloth:
I'll *ask* somebody!

Koloth:
[wounded] I didn't see him coming.

Kor:
Even you cannot have eyes in the back of your head, my friend.

Koloth:
[to Kor] I will not die before you do, you thunderous bulk!

Odo:
It's been a Klingon afternoon.

Major Kira:
A Klingon afternoon?

Odo:
Every time Klingons visit the station, I wind up with a Klingon afternoon.

Odo:
Since when did you add ancient Klingon battles to your holosuite programs?

Quark:
The captain of the last Klingon ship that went through the wormhole sold some to me.

Odo:
Uh-huh.

Quark:
I know, I know, it's brutal! It's violent. It's bloody. But to the Klingons, it's entertainment.

Kang:
This time, we will reach the Albino. And when we do, I will cut his heart out, and eat it, while he watches me with his dying breath!

[Quark shuts off the holosuite, and Kor storms out, clutching a bottle]

Kor:
[drunk] You dare interrupt the Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt, you Ferengi k'pekt?

[while Quark cowers, Odo grabs Kor's hand and gently takes the bottle away]

Odo:
The battle is over. The people are waiting to celebrate your victory.

Kor:
[brightens] They are? Lead the way, then!

[Koloth carefully cuts a piece of cake in half]

Kor:
[laughing] Look at him. He practices cuts and thrusts even with his food! Little children do that.

Koloth:
A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye.

Kor:
[to Dax] Oh? It's been forty years since even his good eye was sharp. Ah, it's luck when you hit the plate!

[a slightly drunk Kor sits at the bar, with a young woman on each arm and a mug in front of him]

Kor:
[laughing] I need another arm! Or am I doomed to choose between perfection and palate?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
Let me spare you that decision.

[she lifts his mug to his lips]

[a drunken Kor is passed out in a holding cell]

Odo:
Sir, if you'll wake up, I'll release you into your friend's custody.

Kor:
[looks up] K-Koloth? wIj jup, my old friend. Oh, I knew you'd be here.

Koloth:
You disgrace yourself, and our purpose! I do not go into battle with one whose honor is washed away in Breshtanti ale!

Koloth:
[to Odo] Keep him!

[storms out]

[Dax and he Klingons are preparing to storm the Albino's compound]

Kang:
It will be midday in about an hour. Can you create the diversion in the armory by then?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
I think so.

Kang:
We will be in position at the powerhouse. May Kahless guide us on this day of vengeance!

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
[distracting a guard] Excuse me. Could you tell me where the tennis courts are? I seem to be lost.

[knocks him down]

[first lines]

Quark:
He only paid for one hour. He's been in there for three, fighting the Battle of Klachdachbrach or some such thing over and over.

Odo:
The Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt is a legendary Klingon victory over the Romulans almost a century ago.

Quark:
Well, he's been losing it all afternoon. And he says he's not coming out until he wins! I banged on the door; he sealed himself in. I threatened to shut off the power; he threatened to kill me.

Odo:
[with mock sympathy] Ooh!

Odo:
Shut off the power.

Quark:
He'll kill you.

Odo:
No - he said he'll kill *you*.

Kor:
There is tension on your face, Koloth. You ought to drink more!

Kor:
The only weight I carry now, dear comrade, is... is my own bulbous body. I-I was once, if you remember, far less than you see. And far more than I've become.

Major Kira:
[referring to an earlier question from Dax] Jadzia - your questions about my... experience with killing; if you're wondering what it's like... [pause]

Major Kira:
When you take someone's life... you lose a part of your own as well.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
[to Kang] I'm Dax, godfather of your son.

Koloth:
You are no one's godfather!

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
I am Dax, godfather of your son.

Kang:
So - you are the same Dax who took a blood oath with us, to seek vengeance?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
Don't mistake a new face for a new soul, Kang.

Kang:
The old Klingon ways are passing. There was a time, when I was a young man, the mere mention of the Klingon Empire made worlds tremble. Now, our warriors are opening restaurants and serving racht to the grandchildren of men I slaughtered in battle. Things are not what they used to be, not even a blood oath.

Kor:
Kang thinks to much, Koloth doesn't feel enough.

Major Kira:
Look - you've said yourself, every new life for a Trill has to be a new life. If not, you'd wind up paying off old debts forever. These Klingons can't possibly expect you to keep this oath.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
No, they don't. That's just it. They say I have no obligation to them. But I do. I know it, I feel it. If not to them, I owe it to Curzon.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
The Korvat colony. First day of negotiations, I walked out on you - right in the middle of that long-winded speech of yours. You should have seen the look on your face. Nobody had ever had the kajunpak't to show their back to the great Kang before Curzon did.

Kang:
I almost killed Curzon that day.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
I knew, I had to get you very, very angry, or my mission wouldn't succeed. Getting you angry with me was the only way to begin to create a bond between us.

Kang:
Curzon understood Klingons.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
And he also understood what he was doing when he took a Klingon blood oath.

Kang:
I cannot dishonor myself by allowing you to die in Curzon's place.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
Who's talking about dying? I have no intention of dying. You dishonor yourself already, Kang, by placing your honor above mine. No Klingon warrior would leave a comrade behind while he goes off to battle! Perhaps you're right - Klingon honor isn't what it used to be.

Kang:
Are you trying to anger me again? You think the same trick would work twice?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
I understand Klingons.

Kang:
All right then - it worked. Come and fight with us. Come and be damned!

Kor:
Of course you should come. The splendor of fighting and killing, a blood bath in the course of vengeance, who wouldn't want to come?

Kang:
We will overwhelm them, to glorious victory!

Koloth:
Or a glorious death!

Kor:
It is a good day to die.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
It is a good day to die.

Kang:
If we cannot reach the Albino, we can at least die an honorable death trying to reach him - a death a Klingon Dahar Master deserves.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
You know what, Kang? I think you Klingons embrace death too easily. You treat death like a lover. I think living is a lot more attractive.

Kang:
Perhaps... it is a good day to live.

Kang:
[after killing the Albino] Thank you for... saving the death blow for me. You have honored me one last time... godfather to my son.

[last lines]

Kang:
Where is Koloth?

Kor:
He is dead.

Kang:
[breathes heavily] I was right, Dax. It is a good day to die...

[dies]

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
[whispers] It's never a good day to lose a friend.

[Kor intones a Klingon funeral dirge in honor of his fallen comrades]

Garak:
[to Morn] If you try the trousers on first, you'll see I've added some extra padding to the seat - which should make swiveling on your barstool much more comfortable.

Chief O'Brien:
[about Keiko] Do you know what she wanted to do last week?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
What?

Chief O'Brien:
She wanted to go back to Bajor and rappel down the Cliffs of Undalar, to get a fungus sample. Rappel to get fungus! It's as if I have to remind her that she's pregnant!

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Yeah. I guess the extra weight, the morning sickness, the mood swings, the medical examinations, they aren't reminders enough.

Quark:
It took me my whole life, but I'm gonna die a winner!

Rom:
When you see how much your body is worth you're gonna wish you died years ago - or something like that...

Quark:
Garak, let's talk about death!

Brunt:
You are a disease, Quark, a festering tumor on the lobes of Ferengi society; and it's my job to cut you off!

[Bashir explains the circumstances of the runabout accident and how Kira ended up with Keiko's unborn baby]

Doctor Bashir:
...A fuel pod exploded, and Keiko was thrown against the bulkhead. She had a concussion, broken ribs, internal hemorrhaging. I managed to stabilize her, but the baby's autonomic functions were failing. I had to find another womb for the baby, and the only two people available were Major Kira - and me.

Captain Sisko:
I think you made the right choice, Doctor.

Molly O'Brien:
Are you my aunt?

Major Kira:
W-well...

Chief O'Brien:
Sounds right to me.

Major Kira:
[nods] Aunt Nerys.

[Quark wakes up in the Divine Treasury - as it seems... ]

Quark:
I'm really dead!

[Grand Nagus Gint appears]

Grand Nagus Gint:
You're not just dead, Quark, you're an idiot!

[cackles madly]

Quark:
Take my assets, revoke my Ferengi business license, do whatever you have to do, then get out! And if I ever see you walk into my bar again...

Brunt:
Yes?

Quark:
...you won't walk out.

Quark:
Captain, you can't do this! Not without paying a storage fee... a minimum storage fee, practically nothing.

Captain Sisko:
Send me the bill.

Quark:
I'm nobody - just some bartender with a domineering mother and an idiot brother.

Quark:
I'm a joke on Ferenginar - Starfleet's favorite bartender, the Synthehol King! What a legacy.

[Quark has been diagnosed with the fatal Dorek Syndrome]

Quark:
It strikes only one out of every five million Ferengi. I finally beat the odds!

[the diagnosis turns out to be false]

Quark:
Do you know what that means, Rom?

Rom:
It means you're gonna live!

Quark:
[overjoyed] It means I get to sue Dr. Orpax for malpractice!

[Brunt has come to claim Quark's dessicated remains, according to contract]

Quark:
Maybe I wasn't clear: I'm not dying.

Brunt:
Maybe *I* wasn't clear: I don't care.

[repeated line]

Ferengi:
[Rule of Acquisition #17] A contract is a contract is a contract.

Grand Nagus Gint:
[Rule of Acquisition #239] Never be afraid to mislabel a product.

[Garak sneaks up behind a holographic Quark and breaks his neck]

Garak:
How's that?

Quark:
Awful! Did you hear that sound of bone snapping? I don't want that to be the last thing I hear!

Garak:
It wasn't that loud.

Quark:
You don't have these ears. Snapping vertebrae is out!

Garak:
We're running out of options, Quark. You don't want to be vaporized because you need a body; the disrupter ruined your clothing, the knife was too savage, the nerve gas smelled bad, hanging took too long, and poison... What was was wrong with poison?

Quark:
It doesn't work! If I know the food is poisoned I won't eat it.

[... ]

Garak:
For a man who wants to kill himself you're strangely determined to live.

Quark:
I'm going to die, don't you worry about that. I just want to find the right way.

Garak:
Right way?

Quark:
I don't want to see it coming. Or hear it. Or feel it or smell it. I just want to go on with my life and then...

[snaps his fingers]

Quark:
...I'm dead!

Garak:
Ah!

[snaps fingers too]

Garak:
You want to be surprised!

Quark:
Exactly! I want to wake up in the Divine Treasury and have no idea how I got there.

Garak:
I see. Perhaps that can be arranged.

Quark:
Really?

Garak:
You have my word. You'll never know what hit you.

Quark:
What's the most important thing in my life?

Garak:
Business.

Quark:
[to Rom] That's who I am. That's what I do, I'm a businessman, and more than that, I'm a Ferengi businessman. Do you know what that means? It means that I'm not exploiting and cheating people at random. I'm doing it according to a specific set of rules - the Rules of Acquisition. And I won't disregard them when I find them inconvenient.

Rom:
Inconvenient? You're going to die!

Quark:
Yes. And when I arrive at the gates of the Divine Treasury, the Registrar will accept my bribe and usher me inside; and do you know why? Because I died exactly the way I lived - as a Ferengi!

Rom:
They took everything?

Quark:
M-hm - including this shirt. I'm supposed to send it to Brunt in the morning.

Rom:
Don't worry. I have some old clothes I was gonna throw out.

Quark:
I'd rather be naked.

[last lines]

[the station's personnel is refurnishing Quark's empty bar]

Rom:
Look at them, brother. And you thought you had no assets.

Quark:
Sisko? Dax? Bashir, Morn? The're my assets?

Rom:
To name a few.

Quark:
I guess you're right. Huh... I need a drink.

Quark:
I hear you're taking a little trip to the Gamma Quadrant.

Odo:
Care to come along?

Quark:
Are you kidding? I expect to own this station by the time you get back.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Captain! Was Dax's last host as argumentative as this one?

Captain Sisko:
Worse.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Thank you Benjamin - I think.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Benjamin, someone's requesting permission to come on board.

Captain Sisko:
Who is it?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Garak.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Tell him the ship is off limits to Cardassian spies.

Garak:
Where you offer kindness, I offer mystery. Where you offer sympathy, I offer intrigue. Just give me a seat next to Odo's bed and I promise you I'll conjure up enough innuendos, half-truths and bald-faced lies about my so-called career in the Obsidian Order to keep the Constable distracted for days.

[Major Kira starts having one of her sneezing fits]

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
[counting]... two... three... I say she stops at seven.

Captain Sisko:
I say eight. Mr. Worf?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Ten!

[Kira stops after eight sneezes]

Major Kira:
I hate being pregnant!

Captain Sisko:
I win!

[Worf catches Garak trying to gain access to the ship's weapons]

Garak:
Don't tell me: I overlooked one of the security monitors.

Odo:
I've spent most of my life bringing people to justice. Now that it's my turn, how can I run away?

Garak:
Come now, Mr. Worf! You're a Klingon; don't tell me you'd object to a little genocide in the name of self-defense.

Lt. Commander Worf:
You fight well - for a tailor.

Chief O'Brien:
It's funny - I've served on half a dozen ships, and none of them have had cloaking devices except the Defiant. Now that we're not using it I feel... naked.

Lt. Commander Worf:
It is disconcerting, to say the least.

Captain Sisko:
Gentlemen, I feel the same breeze you do.

[Dax smiles to herself]

Chief O'Brien:
What're you smiling at?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I don't know, I guess it's just being in the same room with so many naked men.

[Garak has called Odo to his shop to introduce him to Chalan Aroya, a Bajoran woman]

Odo:
[after Aroya has left] The next time you call me, it had better be to report a crime.

Garak:
Now that you mention it, I've just witnessed a crime. Letting Aroya walk out of here without arranging a date, you should be locked away for that!

Odo:
[disgusted] You humanoids, you're all obsessed with these convoluted mating rituals.

Garak:
True, but do you think we'd waste so much time on something that wasn't worthwhile?

[Odo suffers from density fluctuations]

Doctor Bashir:
For all I know, this could be a normal biological process, the Changeling equivalent of puberty - or menopause.

Odo:
That's an interesting theory, Doctor - one I suggest that you keep to yourself.

Odo:
The only ones who can help me now... are the Founders.

Garak:
On behalf of my people, I'd like to learn if there were any survivors after our attack on your homeland?

Female Shapeshifter:
Cardassian survivors?

Garak:
Yes.

Female Shapeshifter:
There were no Cardassian survivors.

Garak:
You mean... they're all dead?

Female Shapeshifter:
They're dead. You're dead. Cardassia is dead. Your people were doomed the moment they attacked us.

Female Shapeshifter:
Ah, poor Odo. Perhaps we should have killed you. It would have been far less cruel.

[after the Founders have turned Odo into a "Solid"]

Doctor Bashir:
Physiologically, you're completely Human.

Odo:
Except for my face.

Doctor Bashir:
Yes, I was wondering about that - why they left it unchanged.

Odo:
They left it this way on purpose, to make sure I'd never forget what I was. And... what I've lost.

Odo:
When I joined with the other Changelings in the Great Link I... felt something I never felt before. In that moment, I knew I was home. For the first time I felt that I understood my people - their distrust of the Solids, their... willingness to do anything to protect themselves. And then, in an instant, it was all snatched away. I'm trapped inside this body. I can never rejoin the Great Link. My job is the only thing I have left.

[last lines]

Gowron:
[from a recorded transmission] Archanis is ours and we will take it back. Resist us in any way, and there will be war!

[Quark learns he won't be prosecuted for helping to sell illegal weapons]

Quark:
[to Odo] Better luck next time.

Sisko:
You better hope there *isn't* a next time, Mister! I've cut you a lot of slack in the past; I even looked away once or twice when I could have come down hard on you. But those days are over. Now, we may not be able to get you for selling weapons, but you so much as litter on the Promenade, and I will nail you to the wall!

Major Kira Nerys:
Something to look forward to!

Gaila:
Look out there. Millions and millions of stars. Millions upon millions of worlds. And right now, half of them are fanatically dedicated to destroying the other half. Now - do you think, if one of those twinkling little lights suddenly went out, anybody would notice? Suppose I offered you 10 million bars of gold-pressed latinum to help turn out one of those lights - would you really tell me to keep my money?

Quark:
What do I have to lose?

Gaila:
Weapons is a growth industry. In a month all your debts will be paid. In six months the Ferengi Commerce Authority will be begging to reinstate you. In a year you'll have your own moon.

Gaila:
The riskier the road, the greater the profit

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Isn't this the cousin that tried to kill you?

Gaila:
I see you've heard of me.

Hagath:
You really are quite a find. I'm sure we're going to accomplish great things together.

Quark:
I can't wait.

Hagath:
Uh, just one thing: don't cross me, Quark. Don't... *ever* cross me.

Gaila:
[about Hagath] If he were a bit shorter and his teeth were a little sharper, he'd make a perfect Ferengi.

[Quark has successfully made a weapons deal with an alien customer]

Quark:
How'd I do?

Hagath:
You're a natural salesman.

Quark:
I am, aren't I? It's no different than selling sandwiches.

Quark:
Why did you sell weapons to the Bajorans? They couldn't have had any money...

Hagath:
My dear Quark, not every deal is about making money. Sometimes you have to look at the big picture. And at times gaining a friend is more important than making profit.

Gaila:
It's not the Ferengi way, but it's good business, nonetheless.

[Quark is getting an ear massage from Hagath's girl]

Quark:
That's right... keep going... uhu... Don't stop until you see smoke.

Hagath:
I took the liberty of transferring your earnings directly to your creditors. You'll be happy to know they were most appreciative.

Quark:
I would have paid them their money!

Hagath:
I don't doubt your intentions. But money does strange things to people. I can't afford to have one of my associates distracted with financial difficulties. So, until your debt is paid, you won't be seeing any profit.

Quark:
28 million dead? Can't we just wound some of them?

[in Quark's dream]

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
How much latinum did they pay you?

Major Kira Nerys:
Enough to buy a new conscience?

Quark:
I was drowning; the waters were closing over my head, and just as my lungs were about to burst, my cousin threw me a lifeline. How could I possibly refuse?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Feeling a little guilty, Quark?

Quark:
Guilty? Me? I don't have anything to feel guilty about.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Then why come to me asking for forgiveness?

Quark:
Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I have to do, I have to do alone. One man who's had enough, who's going to stand up and say...

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Good bye, Quark!

[Quark has told Hagath that he won't be able to provide the biological weapon he had promised the Regent]

Hagath:
This isn't good. I've just been telling the Regent that his shipment will be delivered within a week. He's leaving right now; he's not going to be happy, Quaark!

Quark:
I know. He'll be stuck with 28 million people and no way to kill them.

Quark:
Do you think the Regent would be satisfied with only 17 million people killed?

Quark:
[to himself] The worst Hagath could do is kill you. What's one life compared to the lives of 28 million people?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
You always had a knack for getting out of tight spots.

Hagath:
Remember, we sold 150,000 of those to the Manchovites.

Gaila:
And we sold another 100,000 to the other side. Now, there was a beautiful little war.

Hagath:
Too bad about the armistice.

Gaila:
Well - all good things must come to an end.

Sisko:
Chief, why is the baby in the pit?

[Jake has offered to babysit the O'Briens' baby]

Chief O'Brien:
You're sure you're up to it?

Jake Sisko:
Absolutely. I babysat Ensign Pran's hatchlings a couple of times - made sure those little wings didn't get all tangled.

Chief O'Brien:
Kirayoshi doesn't have little wings.

Jake Sisko:
Even better!

Sisko:
Chief, why don't you take off for a few days until Keiko gets back? I think we can manage without you for that long.

Chief O'Brien:
Oh, that won't be necessary, sir. I have the situation well in hand.

Sisko:
What I'm trying to say is that keeping Kirayoshi in the pit is not an acceptable solution. Find another one.

Quark:
So, about those charges... surely we can come to some kind of accomodation?

Sisko:
That depends. [shows him a pad] This is what it's going to cost to repair the cargo bay?

Quark:
That much?

Sisko:
That much.

Quark:
Well... perhaps we could come up with some kind of installment plan?

Sisko:
Works for me!

Quark:
Now, about my tongo wheel...

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
It's not your tongo wheel. You gave it to me, remember?

Quark:
I know that I gave it to you, but at the time I...

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I'm not giving it back! And that's final!

Sisko:
You're facing some serious charges here, Quark. Incitement to riot, endangering the public safety, disregarding...

Quark:
How was I supposed to know everyone was going to start shooting? I just wanted them to cross paths, so that the deal would fall through.

Sisko:
It fell through all right. Hagath and Gaila barely managed to get off the station alive.

Quark:
I hear General Nassuc sent a purification squad after them.

Sisko:
I wouldn't count on seeing your former business partners again.

Quark:
I can live with that.

Sisko:
What about the Regent's death?

Quark:
The Regent's dead?

Sisko:
A purification squad caught up with him this morning.

Quark:
I can live with that, too. And I can think of twenty-eight million other people who won't mind, either.

Sisko:
Twenty-eight million... and one.

Gul Dukat:
For the past few months, I've been conducting secret negotiations between the Dominion and Cardassia. And, as of last week, Cardassia has agreed to become part of the Dominion.

Major Kira:
You can't be serious.

Gul Dukat:
Good bye, Major. You and I on the same side? It never seemed quite... right - did it?

Gul Dukat:
[speaking to his people] You might ask, should we fear joining the Dominion? And I answer you: Not in the least. We should embrace the opportunity. The Dominion recognizes us for what we are, the true leaders of the Alpha Quadrant. And now that we are joined together, equal partners in all endeavors, the only people with anything to fear will be our enemies. My oldest son's birthday is in five days. To him, and to Cardassians everywhere, I make the following pledge: By the time his birthday dawns, there will not be a single Klingon alive inside Cardassian territory. Or a single Maquis colony left within our borders. Cardassia will be made whole, all that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood, for my son, for all our sons.

General Martok:
There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.

Quark:
The Jem Hadar don't eat, don't drink, and they don't have sex. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Founders don't eat and don't drink, and they don't have sex either. Which, between you and me, makes my financial future less than promising.

Ziyal:
It might not be so bad. For all we know, the Vorta could be gluttonous, alcoholic sex maniacs.

Chief O'Brien:
They're still not responding to our hails.

Captain Sisko:
I think they're trying to intimidate us.

Chief O'Brien:
It's working.

Ziyal:
My father says Garak's dead.

Major Kira:
Right now I wouldn't believe your father if he said rain was wet.

Major Kira:
People can find a way to justify any action, no matter how evil.

Ziyal:
You think my father is evil?

Major Kira:
I think - you can't judge people by what they think or say... only by what they do.

Garak:
There must be some misunderstanding. The last time I checked I *was* a Cardassian.

Ikat'ika:
Today we train against a worthy adversary. Observe, analyze, remember. Soon we will face his people in combat. The lessons you learn here will ensure victory. Victory is life!

Jem'Hadar:
Victory is life!

Captain Sisko:
I have a feeling the Klingons' war against the Cardassians has taken a turn for the worse.

Doctor Bashir:
I'm no engineer, and neither is Mr. Worf here. You on the other hand, my dear Mr. Garak, are a man of many hidden talents.

Garak:
Hm...

Doctor Bashir:
If you can't do it, nobody can.

Garak:
It's nice to feel needed.

Garak:
[working in a tight shaft] I only wish I was still a member of the Obsidian Order. This would make a wonderful interrogation chamber. Tight quarters, no air, bad lighting, random electric shocks - it's perfect.

Doctor Bashir:
[from outside] Sounds like you're enjoying yourself.

Gowron:
Think of it... Five years ago, no one had ever heard of Bajor or Deep Space Nine, and now... all our hopes rest here. Where the tides of fortune take us, no man can know.

Captain Sisko:
They're tricky, those tides.

Major Kira:
Klingons helping to protect Deep Space Nine... What an interesting concept.

Captain Sisko:
These are interesting times, Major.

Gul Dukat:
A few days ago, I swore all Cardassia lost would be regained. That space station you're so fond of was built by Cardassia.

Captain Sisko:
Funny, I thought it was built by Bajoran slave labour.

Gul Dukat:
Either surrender the station or I'll take it by force. The choice is yours.

Captain Sisko:
If you want to retake the station, Dukat, you're welcome to try.

Lt. Commander Worf:
First they demand we come out here, then they make us wait.

General Martok:
They're worthy fighters; but they have no sense of honor.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Is there no Jem'Hadar willing to face me?

Deyos:
Fascinating. Even after all he's been through, the Klingon still thirsts for battle. Doesn't he ever tire of it?

Ikat'ika:
I never do.

Deyos:
You fight because that is what you were designed to do. All that motivates him is some barbaric sense of honor.

Ikat'ika:
And that is something you will never understand.

Ikat'ika:
Prepare yourself. I've found you a worthy opponent.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Where is he?

Ikat'ika:
Right in front of you.

[Worf nods]

Ikat'ika:
Victory is life!

Lt. Commander Worf:
Today is a good day to die.

Ikat'ika:
I yield. I cannot defeat this Klingon. All I can do is kill him; and that no longer holds my interest.

Doctor Bashir:
We have to come up with a new escape plan.

Garak:
That won't be necessary. The original one will work; I just have to finish what I started. After all, a verse about the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger would ruin General Martok's song.

General Martok:
That would be unfortunate.

Major Kira:
Take us to warp.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Inside a solar system?

Major Kira:
If we don't there won't be a solar system left.

Captain Sisko:
Tell our friends out there to stand down. Armageddon will have to wait for another day.

General Martok:
Five matches, and five victories! You truly have the spirit of Kahless within you.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
[of the Dominion ships] There sure are a lot of them.

Major Kira:
That'll just make it harder for us to miss.

Gul Dukat:
One man's villain is another man's hero.

General Martok:
Seven battles, and seven victories! What hero of legend could have done as well?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Heroes of legends don't ache so much.

Garak:
Now, if you'll excuse me - my dungeon awaits.

Garak:
[working in the shaft] Tain, I don't know if you can hear me. But if you can, I just want you to know - you may not have been much of a father, but I really wish you were alive right now. That way you could be in here instead of me.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Garak - you did well.

Garak:
So did you.

Chief O'Brien:
Four weeks? Are you telling me I've been hanging around a Changeling for over a month?

Doctor Bashir:
And you never even suspected it wasn't me?

Chief O'Brien:
No. And the worst part is, the clues were right in front of me.

Doctor Bashir:
What clues?

Chief O'Brien:
Well, for one thing, he... was a lot easier to get along with.

[last lines]

Gul Dukat:
What I did, I did to make Cardassia strong again. And mark my words, Captain, I succeeded. You may have escaped defeat this day. But tomorrow...

Captain Sisko:
We will see about tomorrow.

Gul Dukat:
Yes, we will.

Garak:
[Ziyal is sitting in Quark's, only to see Garak walking in] Ziyal? [Smiles] I told you I'd be back.

Ziyal:
[Kisses him] I never doubted it. [They embrace]

Quark:
All I know is that any marriage where the female is allowed to speak and wear clothing is doomed to failure.

Garak:
Let me tell you a story. I once knew a Cardassian, a dashing, handsome young man with a promising career. But one day, through no fault of his own, he found himself exiled and alone, with nowhere to turn. But did he give up? No. He struck upon a brilliant plan. Instead of fleeing for the rest of his life, he sought shelter in the one place no one expected him to go: in a stronghold of his people's most hated enemies. There, surrounded by hostile strangers, he built a life, and there, against all odds, against the merciless logic of the universe itself... he thrived.

Ziyal:
By becoming the greatest tailor in the galaxy!

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Who says there's never a Klingon around when you need one?

Captain Sisko:
One thing I'll say for the Dominion: they're punctual.

Chief O'Brien:
I wish they'd just attack and get it over with.

Captain Sisko:
I have the feeling you're going to get your wish.

Captain Sisko:
One thing is certain: we're losing the peace - which means a war could be our only... hope.

Odo:
The Dominion is making impressive inroads in the Alpha-Quadrant.

Gul Dukat:
Where the Dominion leads I will follow.

Jake Sisko:
Thanks for the invite, Dad. I haven't had a home-cooked meal since...

Captain Sisko:
Since the last time you were here.

Jake Sisko:
You're a public figure, Dad. You're the captain of the most important space station in the entire Federation. You're news!

Captain Sisko:
Don't remind me.

Gul Dukat:
Captain Sisko. I don't suppose you would like to surrender and avoid unnecessary bloodshed?

Captain Sisko:
Absolutely not.

Gul Dukat:
I was hoping you'd say that.

Garak:
I must say, Constable - I admire your composure. You're an island of tranquility in a sea of chaos.

[first lines]

[Rom and Leeta are looking at one of many potential wedding dresses for Leeta]

Rom:
What do you think?

Leeta:
I don't know. What do you think?

Rom:
I like it. Don't you?

Leeta:
Rom, it's two handkerchiefs and a loin cloth!

Rom:
I suppose we could lose the handkerchiefs.

Quark:
[of Rom's and Leeta's marriage] I give it two months.

Rom:
We've barely finished saying our vows - and we're already having our first fight. We're really married!

[Kira tells Jadzia about Odo's feelings for her]

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
That explains a lot.

Major Kira:
It does?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Not really... It... just seemed like the right thing to say.

[Odo explains to Kira that he will refrain from trying to develop their relationship further for the time being]

Odo:
Until the current crisis has passed, we both need our minds to be clear, to be free of any unnecessary distractions.

Major Kira:
That's probably a good idea... So for now, all we need to concern ourselves with is deploying the minefield, maintaining station security and preparing ourselves for a possible invasion.

Odo:
Hm... Well, I don't know about you - but I feel more comfortable already.

Garak:
I don't think I'd be very welcome on Bajor.

Ziyal:
I'm not gonna be very popular there either.

Garak:
My dear, you're half Bajoran. So at least half of you is going to be accepted.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
When all of this is over, we'll get married. And if that doesn't give you a reason to survive, I don't know what will.

Captain Sisko:
As someone once said: these are the times that try men's souls.

Garak:
When the Klingons attacked the station, Gul Dukat and I were fighting side by side. At one point, he turned his back to me, and I must admit that for a moment, he made a very tempting target.

Odo:
You'd shoot a man in the back?

Garak:
Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?

Quark:
Did you think you could just walk back in here and get your old job back?

Rom:
Actually I'm a spy, working for Starfleet. But don't tell anyone!

Quark:
Federation's more desperate than I thought.

Nog:
Hear all, trust nothing. [Rule of Acquisition 190]

Jake Sisko:
I promised the Federation News Service a first-hand account of the battle.

Doctor Bashir:
You'll get it. Just remember - Bashir is spelled with an 'i'.

[Jake has decided to stay behind on the station]

Jake Sisko:
There's a war going on, and... I'm a reporter. This's where I belong.

Rom:
But you're not safe here.

Jake Sisko:
The Dominion knows I'm the Emissary's son. If they hurt me, they risk alienating their new friends, the Bajorans.

Rom:
I hope you're right.

Jake Sisko:
So do I.

Damar:
Sir, the station shields are holding.

Weyoun:
Impossible, Federation shields have always proven useless against our weapons.

Gul Dukat:
I've found it wise to never underestimate the Federation's technical skill - or Captain Sisko's resourcefulness.

Weyoun:
This isn't turning out quite the way I planned.

Rom:
You've got to go, Leeta. The problems of two newlyweds are but a small thread in the tapestry of galactic events. You might not understand that today, or even tomorrow. Someday you will. So get on that shuttle, and don't look back.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
We should rendez-vous with the Federation task force in 48 hours.

Doctor Bashir:
And then what?

Nog:
And then we'll make the Dominion sorry they ever set foot in the Alpha Quadrant!

Captain Sisko:
Cadet, you took the words right out of my mouth.

[Garak tells Odo how he once spared Dukat's life against his better judgment]

Odo:
And now you regret it.

Garak:
Ah, my dear Constable - before this day is over, everyone on this station is going to regret it.

Major Kira:
Captain, as a major in the Bajoran Militia, I must officially protest Starfleet's refusal to turn over the station to my government.

Captain Sisko:
Your protest is duly noted.

Major Kira:
Good. Now, that that's over with - Kira Nerys reporting for duty.

Captain Sisko:
When I first took command of this post, all I wanted was to be somewhere else - anywhere but here. But now, five years later, this has become my home, and you have become my family. And leaving this station, leaving you, is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do -... - No victory can make this moment any easier for me. And I promise, I will not rest until I stand with you again, here... in this place where I belong.

Major Kira:
Dukat wanted the station back? He can have it!

[after destroying the station's computer system]

[last lines]

Weyoun:
I assume Captain Sisko removed or destroyed everything of value?

Gul Dukat:
Not everything.

[he takes Sisko's baseball from the desk]

Weyoun:
What is that?

Gul Dukat:
A message from Sisko.

Weyoun:
I don't understand.

Gul Dukat:
He's letting me know... he'll be back.

Leeta:
Captain! Can we speak to you for a moment?

Rom:
If you're not too busy.

Captain Sisko:
Rom, go ahead.

Rom:
Would you marry me? I mean... us. I mean... would YOU... perform OUR... wedding ceremony?

Major Kira:
You want Bajor to sign the treaty with the Dominion? Why?

Captain Sisko:
Major, when I came here my orders were to protect Bajor and help your people rebuild from the occupation.

Major Kira:
You've succeeded.

Captain Sisko:
And I refuse to see everything we've accomplished torn down again. The sad truth is Major, that if there is a war now, the Federation can't guarantee the safety of Bajor. Which means Bajor must be kept out of the fighting. I don't like this any more than you do, but it's Bajor's only chance for survival.

Tosk:
I am Tosk!

O'Brien:
Hey, barkeep!

Quark:
Don't call me barkeep! I'm not a barkeep! I'm your host, the proprietor, a sympathetic ear to the wretched souls who pass through these portals.

O'Brien:
[to Tosk] And a man who will exploit any vice you may have. Two synthales, barkeep.

Tosk:
[to Quark] I am sorry, I have no vices for you to exploit.

Tosk:
You wear a weapon?

O'Brien:
Defensive purposes only. It may not seem hospitable, but when you go into an alien ship for the first time, you never know what might be in there. You may even find someone who can make himself invisible. Do you know what I mean?

[ignorant that Tosk *can* make himself invisible]

O'Brien:
You know the old saying - a man who's always looking over his shoulder is waiting for trouble to find him.

Tosk:
[on holosuite programs] I have no use for fantasy adventure. I live the greatest adventure one could ever desire.

Tosk:
I am Tosk, the hunted. I live to outwit the hunters for another day, to survive, until I die with honor.

Tosk:
Allow me to die with honor.

O'Brien:
As the Vulcans say, we're here to serve.

O'Brien:
[in Quark's] This is where we do most of our R and R.

Tosk:
What is 'R and R'?

O'Brien:
Rest and relaxation. Downtime. When we're not working.

Tosk:
You sleep a full third of your rotation. You rest and relax while you are awake. Alpha Quadrant has far too much downtime.

Odo:
Nobody's abducting a prisoner out of my brig as long as I'm alive.

Tosk:
[after O'Brien has helped him escape from the station] Now you are Tosk as well, O'Brien.

O'Brien:
[after knocking out the hunter with one punch] Glass jaw. Now I know why you wear a helmet.

Commander Sisko:
You ignored your duty to Starfleet, you took off your com-badge so you can ignore me; you even ignored the Prime Directive by interfering with their damned hunt. Another stunt like this, and your wife won't have to complain about the conditions here anymore, do I make myself clear?

O'Brien:
One day as a Tosk is enough for me.

Tosk:
The hunt... goes on.

Tosk:
Die with honor, O'Brien.

O'Brien:
Die with honor, Tosk.

Elim Garak:
I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences.

Kotan Pa'Dar:
Mister O'Brien, I know very little about Human culture, I don't know how you view the family.

Chief O'Brien:
We'd do almost anything to protect our families. I've a daughter myself; she's four - the same age your son was when you lost him.

Kotan Pa'Dar:
Then I expect you can imagine what I'm feeling right now. On Cardassia, family is everything. We care for our parents and children with equal devotion. In some households, four generations eat at the same table. Family... is everything.

[Garak is repairing the resettlement center's computers himself]

Doctor Bashir:
I continue to underestimate you, Garak.

Elim Garak:
Oh, it's no more difficult than sewing on a button actually. Excuse me.

[He takes an electronic loupe out of his eye]

Doctor Bashir:
You carry this everywhere with you, do you?

Elim Garak:
A simple tailoring tool. You'd be surprised how often someone needs their pants let out.

Quark:
There's nothing quite so depressing as a winning streak that won't stop streaking.

Doctor Bashir:
The damnedest thing just happened - Garak the tailor was attacked.

Odo:
Attacked? Where?

Doctor Bashir:
At the replimat. He was bitten in the hand.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
Another unsatisfied customer?

Chief O'Brien:
He always cuts the pants too long.

Doctor Bashir:
[on Gul Dukat, after a conversation with him on subspace] He's lying.

Commander Sisko:
Is that an opinion, or do you have evidence to support it?

Doctor Bashir:
I have Garak.

Commander Sisko:
Garak?

Doctor Bashir:
He seems to think there's more going on here than we realize.

Commander Sisko:
What exactly does he think is going on?

Doctor Bashir:
I'm not sure. He doesn't actually tell me what he really thinks. I sort of have to deduce it.

Commander Sisko:
Ah. So, you deduced that Garak thinks Dukat is lying about something you're not sure of, and you proceeded to interrupt my conversation to confront him about whatever that might be.

Doctor Bashir:
[sighs] I'm sorry, Commander. It just seemed an opportune...

Commander Sisko:
Don't apologize. It's been the high-point of my day. *Don't* do it again.

Commander Sisko:
I assume this couldn't wait until morning?

Doctor Bashir:
No, sir. I-I need to use a runabout...

Commander Sisko:
I'm waiting.

Doctor Bashir:
It's Garak, sir. He wants to go to Bajor.

Commander Sisko:
Bajor? For what?

Doctor Bashir:
...He wouldn't tell me.

Commander Sisko:
Well, by all means. Will one runabout be enough?

Elim Garak:
Children without parents have no status in Cardassian society. The situation is most unfortunate, but I don't make the rules.

Doctor Bashir:
But you *do* play the game, don't you, Garak? And there is a game being played right now as we speak, isn't there?

Elim Garak:
There are always games, Doctor.

Doctor Bashir:
The trouble is, I don't have the slightest idea what this game is all about. So you're gonna tell me what's going on inside that plain and simple head of yours, my Cardassian friend, or we're gonna sit here until we rot!

Elim Garak:
Really, Doctor, must we always play this game? I'm no more a spy than you are a...

Doctor Bashir:
...a doctor.

Zolan:
[on Rugal] It must be torture for that boy living like that - hated by people he thinks of as his parents, told day after day he's worthless Cardassian scum, beaten if he even looks the wrong way. Rugal is their revenge - their revenge against all Cardassians.

Rugal:
I wish I wasn't Cardassian.

Elim Garak:
The Cardassians are quite meticulous record keepers, madam. They taught many worlds, including this one, how to keep records. I find it difficult to believe that none exist from that period. Certainly, computer entries were made on a regular basis?

Deela:
I wouldn't know, I wasn't a volunteer then. I was in the underground.

Elim Garak:
Really? Perhaps we *have* met!

Doctor Bashir:
But there's one more question I haven't figured out, Garak. Why did you want to expose Dukat? What's the truth about you and him?

Elim Garak:
Truth, Doctor, is in the eye of the beholder. I never tell the truth because I don't believe there is such a thing. That's why I prefer the straight-line simplicity of cutting cloth.

Doctor Bashir:
[Garak on Dukat] I don't think he likes him very much.

Kotan Pa'Dar:
Mister O'Brien, I know very little about Human customs, I don't know how you view the family.

Chief O'Brien:
We'd do almost anything to protect them. I've got a little girl myself. She's 6, the same age as Rugal was when you lost him.

Kotan Pa'Dar:
Than you can imagine how I feel. On Cardassia, family is everything. We care for our parents and our children with equal devotion. In some houses 4 generations eat at the same table. Family - is everything.

Worf:
I have a sense of humor. On the Enterprise, I was considered to be quite amusing.

Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax:
That must've been one dull ship.

Worf:
That is a joke. I get it. It is not funny, but I get it.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Very well. Room service.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Really?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Really.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Oh, that was easy.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Did you want to fight over it?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
No, it's just, I didn't expect you to surrender so quickly.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Surrender?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Bad word.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Very bad.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
So, how are you enjoying your honeymoon? Are you suffering enough?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Almost.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Is there anything I can get for you?

Lt. Commander Worf:
More pain - less cold.

Chief O'Brien:
[about tongo] You have absolutely no idea how this game is played, do you?

Lt. Commander Worf:
No. But I have developed a new appreciation for it.

Chief O'Brien:
Since when?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Since I married a tongo player.

[Worf and O'Brien are running a bet - for a bottle of blood wine against a bottle of scotch whiskey respectively - about the outcome of a tongo game between Dax and 206-times-winner Quark, during which Dax seems to come out on top]

Lt. Commander Worf:
[cheering, to O'Brien] I like my blood wine very young and very sweet.

Quark:
[at the tongo table] Is he a friend of yours?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Just a fan.

Quark:
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disappoint all your fans. [lays down his cards]

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
[disbelieving] A full consortium?

Chief O'Brien:
[to Worf] 207. A single malt, preferably something from the Highlands.

[O'Brien tries to talk Bashir into playing tongo against Quark, but the Doctor is not interested]

Chief O'Brien:
Think of it as a challenge.

Doctor Bashir:
That's your obsession, Miles, not mine.

Chief O'Brien:
Do it for the latinum.

Doctor Bashir:
Nice try.

Chief O'Brien:
Do it for the satisfaction of the look on Quark's face, when he's beaten at a game of tongo by a lowly "Hew-mon".

Doctor Bashir:
Deal the cards.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Of course, our tricorders will be useless from now on.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
There you go again - looking for the cloud in the silver lining.

Lt. Commander Worf:
I am not complaining. I look forward to walking through the jungle without a map and no idea what lies ahead.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Well, the funny thing is, you probably are.

Lasaran:
A Klingon! Why did they have to send a Klingon?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I'm a Trill. Does that make you feel any better?

Lasaran:
Are you trying to be funny?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Not at all. He's the funny one.

Doctor Bashir:
[after losing to Quark at tongo] Quark, did you really mean all that? About Dax? Being my one last chance for true happiness?

Quark:
Doctor - you don't expect me to show you all my cards, do you?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Your problem is, you cannot accept change.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
*I* can't accept change?

Lt. Commander Worf:
That is correct.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Oh, you've gotta be kidding! I've changed bodies six times, Worf.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Yes, but you are still very set in your ways.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
And look who's talking.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Well, I do not have to sleep on the same side of the bed every night, or brush my hair exactly fifty strokes every night, or eat the same thing for breakfast every day, or read the last page of the book before the beginning, or lift up the...

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I get the point! I don't know how you can live with someone so monotonous.

Lt. Commander Worf:
It is not easy... *That* was a joke.

Lt. Commander Worf:
You were at my wedding. You heard the story of the first two Klingon hearts, and how nothing could stand against them, and how they even destroyed the gods that had created them. I've heard that story since I was a boy; but I never understood it - I mean really understood it. Until I was standing in the jungle, with my heart pounding in my chest. And I found that even I could not stand against my own heart. I had to go back. And it did not matter what Starfleet thought or what the consequences were. She was my wife, and I could not leave her.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I know how much your career means to you.

Lt. Commander Worf:
You come first - before career, before duty, before anything. I do not regret what I did; and I would do it again.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I don't know what to say.

Lt. Commander Worf:
You could say 'thank you for saving my life'.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Thank you for saving my life.

Lt. Commander Worf:
And you could say 'I would do the same for you, Worf'.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Well - I'd have to think about that. My career is very important to me, you know.

[Dax is flying the runabout through an asteroid field]

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Want me to slow down?

Lt. Commander Worf:
No. Unless you think you should.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Not at all. In fact, it could go faster.

Lt. Commander Worf:
By all means.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Oh. A man after my own heart!

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Worf, my love - let me make this very clear: I do not want to spend my honeymoon climbing, hiking, sweating, bleeding or suffering in any way.

Lt. Commander Worf:
All right, what do you want?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Room service.

Lt. Commander Worf:
Room service?

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Room Service. I want to be pampered. I want a staff to cater to our every whim. I want to be embarrassed by the size of our room. I want a balcony, with a view that would make you want to break down and cry from the sheer beauty of it all. And I *don't* want to spend one moment of our honeymoon suffering from anything except guilt about our complete self-indulgence.

[Bashir has lost to Quark in tongo, after some mischievous psycho-babble from the bartender]

Doctor Bashir:
I can't believe I let him get to me.

Chief O'Brien:
Ah, well. Not your fault. Genetically engineered or not, you're still hew-mon.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Worf... it's been a great two months, hasn't it?

Lt. Commander Worf:
Yes.

Captain Sisko:
One last thing - as a man who had a wife. If Jennifer had been lying in that clearing, I wouldn't have left her either.

Gabriel:
Are you the son of Mogh?

Worf:
Yes, I am.

Gabriel:
Is it true you can kill someone, just by looking at them?

Worf:
Only when I am angry.

Captain Sisko:
All right, we'll make a quick survey. But if all we detect is some fungus, we're not beaming down.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
What if it's smart fungus?

Miranda O'Brien:
This settlement was founded by the crew of a Starfleet vessel that crashed on this planet two centuries ago. I realize this is going to be hard for you to accept; but that ship was the Defiant. Two days from now, when you leave here and try to pass through the energy barrier, you'll be thrown back in time 200 years. You'll be stranded here and become the founders of this settlement. We... are your descendants.

Miranda:
[of Miles O'Brien] Molly - this is your grandfather's great-great-great-grandfather.

Molly:
Aren't you gonna help?

Chief O'Brien:
I'm busy.

Molly:
You don't look busy.

Captain Sisko:
[laughs] She's an O'Brien all right.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
[to Lisa] I like your spots.

Doctor Bashir:
[treating Kira on the ship] Apparently the planet is crawling with Bashirs.

Major Kira:
Maybe I'll stay up here.

Major Kira:
Praying over your own grave... it's got to be a new one.

Odo:
Yeah... If the Prophets were listening they're probably very confused.

Major Kira:
I've always believed that we're all given one destiny - one path. And now we're using technology to get around that... I'm not sure how it makes me feel.

Odo:
I know exactly how it makes me feel. You can't know how much it means to me to know you're going home, Nerys. Now, it won't change anything for me. I lost you two hundred years ago. But for the other Odo up on the ship it changes everything. He doesn't have to lose you. And somehow, knowing that makes me feel better.

Brota:
We are the sons of Mogh.

Worf:
You're my descendants?

Brota:
Some by blood, some by choice.

Doctor Bashir:
It would appear that I'm not the only legend around here.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
You betrayed us. You betrayed me. You call yourself Yedrin Dax; but I don't recognize you.

Yedrin Dax:
Because of me, Kira died, and 48 people were stranded here. You don't know what it was like to live with that. For years, Benjamin, every time I looked at you, all I could think about was Jake, and how, because of me, he would never see his father again. Eventually, I had to accept the fact there was nothing I could do to change things; I couldn't bring Kira back. All I could do was look to the future, Benjamin, and make sure that we survived here - no matter what.

Captain Sisko:
I wish there was a way we could help you. But my people have the right to return home to their families, and I will not ask Kira to sacrifice her life for eight thousand people, for eight million! No one has the right to ask that. I'm sorry, old man; but there is nothing I can do.

Major Kira:
The path the Prophets laid out for me ends here.

Brota:
You said there was an enemy for us to fight.

Worf:
They're attempting to plant their fields before the sun sets. Time is their enemy. We should help them defeat it.

Brota:
Tomorrow we will see the sun rise again. But no one here will see it set.

Brota:
Last year I slew a yar-bear, three meters tall. Your Mek'leth was my only weapon. The beast maimed me, and for a time it seemed I would die from my wounds. Now I wish I had. It would have been a warrior's death.

Parell:
He could have taken his place among the honored dead in Sto-vo-kor.

Worf:
Perhaps he will yet.

Brota:
No. Ceasing to exist because my parents were never born - that is not a death worthy of Sto-vo-kor.

Yedrin Dax:
Thank you, Benjamin.

Captain Sisko:
Anything for you... old man!

Major Kira:
[after revealing that she and Shakaar have split up] The way I see it, people are either meant to be together, or they're not.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
I guess I'd rather believe that any relationship can work as long as both people really want it to.

Odo:
There's something else the other Odo wanted you to know... He was responsible for changing the Defiant's flight plan.

[long pause]

Major Kira:
Why?

Odo:
So that you wouldn't have to die.

Major Kira:
I can't believe it. EIGHT THOUSAND PEOPLE!

Odo:
He did it for you, Nerys. He loved you.

Major Kira:
That makes it right?

Odo:
I don't know. He thought so.

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax:
Everyone we met - they never existed.

Captain Sisko:
They exited. As long as we remember them - they always will.

Chief O'Brien:
Where is all this fog coming from?

Odo:
It's not fog; it's Laas.

Chief O'Brien:
Laas?

Doctor Bashir:
What's he doing?

Odo:
Being fog. What's it look like?

Chief O'Brien:
Can't he be fog somewhere else?

Doctor Bashir:
Or at night, when nobody's around?

Odo:
He's not hurting anyone.

Chief O'Brien:
Still - it's kinda creepy.

Doctor Bashir:
Careful, Miles, he might hear you.

Chief O'Brien:
Good!

Odo:
Laas was only doing what comes naturally to us.

Quark:
You never pulled a stunt like that. You're smart enough to know that people don't wanna be reminded that you're different. Who wants to see somebody turn into goo?

Quark:
Don't you get it, Odo? We humanoids are a product of millions of years of evolution. Our ancestors learned the hard way that what you don't know might kill you. They wouldn't have survived if they hadn't jumped back when they encountered a snake coiled in the muck; and now, millions of years later, that instinct is still there. It's genetic. Our tolerance to other life forms doesn't extend beyond the two-arm, two-leg variety. I hate to break this to you; but when you're in your natural state, you're more than our poor old genes can handle.

Laas:
You've given up a great deal to remain here.

Odo:
Yes... Yes, I have. But I won't have anything to do with the Founders and their war.

Laas:
Odo - we linked. I know the truth. You stayed here because of Kira. If it weren't for her, you would be with our people. War or no war, you would be... a Founder.

Odo:
Look at me, Nerys. What do you see?

Colonel Kira:
I see you.

Odo:
No! No, this is... just a form I borrowed. I could just as easily be someone or some*thing* else.

Colonel Kira:
I know that. But... this... is what you have always chosen to be: a man - a good and honest man. A man I fell in love with. Are you trying to tell me that he never really existed?

Odo:
I don't know. - I care for you, more than anyone I've ever known. These last few months have been the happiest of my life. But even so, part of me wishes that Laas and I were out there right now searching for the others, existing as changelings. Because that's what I am. Not a humanoid. I'm a changeling!

Colonel Kira:
Well, then maybe you're right - maybe you do belong out there.

Laas:
The truth is, I prefer the so-called primitive life forms. They exist as they were meant to, by following... their instincts. No words get in the way, no... lies, no deceptions.

Chief O'Brien:
We're not the ones who can disguise ourselves as anything we want.

Odo:
Meaning...?

Laas:
Meaning, shapeshifters are not to be trusted.

Chief O'Brien:
I trust Odo.

Laas:
Of course you trust Odo. Look at him. You've convinced him that he is as limited as you are.

Laas:
They tolerate you, Odo, because you emulate them. What higher flattery is there - "I, who can be anything, choose to be like you"? But even when you make yourself in their image, they know you are not truly one of them. They know that what you appear to be does not reflect what you really are. It's only a mask. What lies underneath is alien to them. And so they fear it; and that fear can turn to hate in the blink of an eye.

Odo:
Laas, humanoids are not the petty, limited creatures you perceive them to be. What Nerys did should prove that even to you.

Laas:
Love conquers all, is that it?

Odo:
I'm sorry you can't understand. You've done many things, been many things. But you've never known love.

Laas:
Compared to the link, it is a pale shadow, a feeble attempt to compensate for the isolation that mono-forms feel because they are trapped within themselves.

Odo:
Perhaps the fact that it's not easy is what makes it worthwhile.

Captain Sisko:
Martok has expressed some concerns about our security arrangements.

Odo:
Meaning?

Captain Sisko:
He's not sure it's appropriate that you should be in charge of the prisoner.

Odo:
May I ask why?

Captain Sisko:
Because you were a witness to the alleged crime.

Odo:
Well, that's a relief. For a moment, I thought you were going to say it's because... I'm a changeling.

Laas:
What are you holding on to? Kira? Even she knows that this is what's best for you. Why else would she have helped me to escape?

Odo:
You really don't know, do you? You've no idea what it means to love someone enough to let them go.

Laas:
She let you go, so that you could find out where you belong.

Odo:
I know where I belong.

Colonel Kira:
I'm sorry I can't link with you.

Odo:
Doesn't matter, Nerys. I love you.

[last lines]

Colonel Kira:
If I ever made you feel that you couldn't be yourself with me, I'm sorry. I want to know you - the way you really are.

[the Klingons have filed charges against Laas]

Captain Sisko:
They claim he surrounded them menacingly.

Odo:
[scoffs] They felt menaced by fog.

Captain Sisko:
They weren't the only ones. There are twelve other people who filed complaints.

Odo:
Is it a crime to shapeshift on the Promenade?

Captain Sisko:
It's not a crime, but it's obviously not a good idea.

Odo:
You'd better go. They're looking for you. Good luck.

Laas:
And to you, Odo. You'll need it more than I.

Sarina:
You... heard me? I... thought... something, and you heard it.

Doctor Bashir:
Sarina - you spoke!

[Bashir finds Sarina in his quarters]

Doctor Bashir:
Sarina? What are you doing here? How did you get in?

Sarina:
It wasn't hard. Your access code only has six digits.

Doctor Bashir:
Everyone, this is Sarina. Sarina, this is everyone.

Sarina:
So, what's a genetically enhanced girl supposed to do when she wakes up from a long sleep? Point to one of those little specks of light out there, pack a bag and go make a life for herself?

Doctor Bashir:
Why does she have to go anywhere at all?

Patrick:
That's a stupid question.

[Jack, Patrick and Lauren have illegally impersonated Starfleet officers]

Doctor Bashir:
Didn't anybody question you?

Jack:
Of course. But when they did, Patrick would say...

Patrick:
That's a stupid...

Lauren:
You'd be surprised how well it works.

Nog:
I'll say.

Chief O'Brien:
Julian, why don't you show everybody how much you love me and order the next round?

Sarina:
If I had to find someone to replace Atlas and hold up the world, it'd be Miles. He'd do it with a smile, too.

Jack:
Your friend was right. You can't break the laws of physics...

Jack, Patrick, Lauren:
[simultaneously] But you can bend them!

Jack:
The fact is-is that the universe is going to stop expanding, and it is going to collapse in on itself. We've got to do something before it's too late.

Patrick:
How much time do we have left?

Jack:
Sixty trillion years, seventy at the most.

Patrick:
Oh, no!

[Jack and Patrick are placing a couch in the middle of the cargo bay]

Patrick:
That's not where it was last time.

Jack:
Oh, what difference does it make?

Lauren:
He's right.

Jack:
Fine.

[he gives the couch a kick, moving it by about a centimeter]

Jack:
How's that?

Patrick:
Much better.

[Sarina has accurately appraised the personality of each of Bashir's friends]

Doctor Bashir:
I can't believe you saw all that after just a few hours with them. I'm gonna have to start putting on my poker face.

Sarina:
Too late. You've already given yourself away.

Doctor Bashir:
Is that right? And how would you describe me?

Sarina:
Compassionate, brilliant, lonely.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, two out of three isn't bad.

Sarina:
Which two?

Doctor Bashir:
Now, that would be telling.

Chief O'Brien:
[referring to Bashir's relationship with Sarina] I haven't seen you like this for a long time; and I'm really happy for you. But don't you think it's all happening just a little too fast?

Doctor Bashir:
We're genetically engineered. We do everything fast.

Sarina:
I'm sorry. I wish I could be the woman you want me to be.

Doctor Bashir:
So here you are - on your way to one of those tiny little specks of light out there.

Sarina:
I guess that's... what a genetically enhanced girl should do when she wakes up from her sleep - go make a life for herself.

[Dukat has accidentally activated an old recording left by his former commanding officer]

Legate Kell:
Dukat, if you are seeing this recording, it means you tried to abandon your post while the station's self-destruct sequence was engaged. That will not be permitted. You have lost control of Terok Nor, disgracing yourself and Cardassia. Your attempt to escape is no doubt a final act of cowardice. All fail-safes have been eliminated. Your personal access codes have been rescinded. The destruct sequence can no longer be halted. All you can do now is contemplate the depth of your disgrace, and try to die like a Cardassian.

Gul Dukat:
[in an automated message] Bajoran workers, your attention please. Your attempt to seize control of this facility is going to fail. You are valuable workers, and we wish you no harm. However, if you do not return control of this unit to your Cardassian supervisors, we will be forced to take action. You have eight minutes to make your decision.

Gul Dukat:
Let me guess: someone tried to duplicate my access code, hm?

Commander Sisko:
You know, I never knew how much this man's voice annoyed me.

[Ops is under phaser fire, although not harming Dukat and Garak]

Garak:
It would appear that the computer is only targeting non-Cardassians.

Gul Dukat:
If you had been on the station when I designed this program, I would have made an exception in your case.

Garak:
Well, you've aways been shortsighted. It's held you back over the years.

Doctor Bashir:
The Cardassians don't miss a trick, do they?

[Dukat has offered to shut down the self-destruct program in return for allowing the Cardassians to establish a permanent garrison on DS9]

Major Kira:
I will destroy this station before I ever give it back to the Cardassians.

Gul Dukat:
Yes... I'm sure you would. But... would you allow 2,000 people aboard this station to die simply because you don't like... us?

[Odo and Quark are trapped in Odo's office]

Quark:
You're telling me I'm stuck here? With you?

Odo:
No. *I'm* stuck here with *you*. Believe me, a far worse fate.

Odo:
I suppose, during the Occupation, the Cardassians considered their Security Chief a security risk.

Quark:
And I know why.

Odo:
Oh, do you?

Quark:
It's because they knew you were an honorable man - the kind of person who would do the right thing regardless of the circumstances. And now, your integrity is going to get us both killed. I hope you're happy.

Quark:
Should've listened to my father. He always warned me this was gonna happen.

Odo:
What? That you'd spend your final hours in jail? I could have told you that.

Quark:
A lifetime of scheming and plotting, wheeling and dealing, and what has it got me? One measly little bar. My uncle Frin owns thirty, and my cousin Gaila...

Odo:
I know, he owns a moon.

Quark:
I told you that?

Odo:
Many times.

Odo:
Quark, I've met a lot of Ferengis in my time. And the truth is, though some of them may have been more wealthy, I've never met one more... devious.

Quark:
Really?

Odo:
Would I lie?

Quark:
[75th Rule of Acquisition] Home is where the heart is, but the stars are made of latinum.

Doctor Bashir:
You know, I've been here nearly three years, and I was just finally starting to think of this place as home.

Major Kira:
Your "home" was built by Cardassians, Doctor. Don't ever forget that.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, there's not much chance of that, is there.

Gul Dukat:
I set up this program, and I assure you, Major, I will find a way to defeat it. There is no dilemma that cannot be solved by a disciplined, Cardassian mind.

Garak:
It's not going to work, you know.

Gul Dukat:
What are you babbling on about now?

Garak:
I'm talking about Major Kira.

Major Kira:
What about her?

Garak:
She's much too busy trying to save this station to be impressed with your incessant posturing.

Gul Dukat:
[outraged] Garak!

Garak:
And even if she weren't, she has much better taste than to be attracted to you - you, a married man.

Gul Dukat:
I should've executed you years ago.

Garak:
Oh, you tried, remember?

[last lines]

Quark:
[checking out Odo's files] "A self-important con artist who's nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is." That's your official security evaluation of me?

Odo:
Quark, I told you to stay away from the computer.

Quark:
Two hours ago, you told me I was the most devious Ferengi you ever met.

Odo:
I thought we were going to die. I was trying to be nice.

Quark:
Name one Ferengi who is more devious than I am.

Odo:
Grand Nagus.

Quark:
All right. Name another.

Odo:
DaiMon Tye.

Quark:
One you personally know.

Odo:
Your brother Rom.

Quark:
My brother?

Odo:
Your uncle Frin.

Quark:
Frin?

Odo:
Your cousin Gaila.

Quark:
Gaila? The one with the moon?

Gul Dukat:
Your hair - you changed it.

Colonel Kira:
Your ear - you've pierced it.

Colonel Kira:
[to Dukat] It makes sense these people would choose you as their leader; they worship evil.

Odo:
I have a feeling it must be very comforting to believe in something more powerful than yourself.

Colonel Kira:
[imitating Vedek Fala] "Nerys, what are the three keys to enlightenment?"

Vedek Fala:
And the answer?

Colonel Kira:
Charity, humility and faith.

Colonel Kira:
The Prophets have a plan for us. It's not always easy to see what it is.

Colonel Kira:
I have always found that, uh, when people try to convince others of their beliefs, it's because they're really just trying to convince themselves.

Odo:
How was it?

Colonel Kira:
Oh, beautiful. Ranjen Telna gave a very moving sermon.

Lieutenant Ezri Dax:
What was it about?

Colonel Kira:
About how important it is to forgive the people who've wronged you.

Colonel Kira:
Some things can't be forgiven.

Vedek Fala:
You know me. Always searching for answers.

Colonel Kira:
That's what makes you different from all the other Vedeks I know. To you, faith is a journey.

[Odo has proposed to accompany Kira to the Bajoran services]

Colonel Kira:
I would love for you to come with me. But I don't think you'll get much out of it if you don't believe in the Prophets.

Odo:
Ah... Perhaps if I had an Orb experience.

Colonel Kira:
It doesn't work like that. Faith has to come first.

Vedek Fala:
This is a special moment. I'm not going to ruin it by arguing with you. You believe the Prophets are the true gods of Bajor, I believe the Pah-wraiths are. Let's just leave it at that.

Colonel Kira:
I'd be happy to. There's just one thing - we can't both be right.

Gul Dukat:
Nerys, I wish I had the words to describe to you what it was like, to have the Pah-wraith within me. I could feel its love, for me and for the Bajoran people. It made me realize I still have a role to play in Bajor's destiny.

Colonel Kira:
You mean besides overseeing an occupation that killed tens of millions.

Vedek Fala:
In ancient times, Bajorans understood the value of denying worldly pleasures. Ironic, isn't it, that a Cardassian would be the one to lead us back to the old ways?

Colonel Kira:
Especially a Cardassian whose appetite for worldly pleasures is legendary.

Vedek Fala:
That was a long time ago, before he felt the kiss of the Pah-wraith.

Colonel Kira:
That was some kiss.

Gul Dukat:
Promazine - developed by the Obsidian Order for use by their operatives in case of capture. Not only is death swift, but it reduces the body to dust within hours, making it unidentifiable to the enemy. Dust - that's all that will remain, of my passage through this misbegotten universe, Nerys. But it doesn't bother me; because I know I'm going to be with the Pah-wraiths.

[after Dukat's betrayal, Fala has taken one of the promazine pills]

Colonel Kira:
Why?

Vedek Fala:
Faith... Nerys... Faith.

[dies]

[last lines]

Colonel Kira:
I know this is gonna sound crazy; but I think Dukat convinced himself that he was doing what the Pah-wraiths wanted.

Odo:
Who knows? Maybe he was.

Colonel Kira:
Either way, he believes. And that makes him more dangerous than ever.

Major Kira:
I've been meaning to ask you, why don't you wear that belt anymore?

Odo:
I don't know. Didn't really serve a purpose. It's not as if I needed it to hold my pants up.

Major Kira:
I just thought it looked good on you, that's all.

Odo:
[pleasantly surprised] Really?

Major Kira:
[smiles] Really.

Odo:
Well... if you say so.

[Odo morphs his waist to include a belt on his uniform]

Odo:
Better?

Major Kira:
Much.

Major Kira:
Do you have to stare like that? I think it's making people nervous.

Odo:
Good.

Chief O'Brien:
[at Shakaar's reception] I don't know why Captain Sisko insists on having *me* here. I'm not a senior officer.

Doctor Bashir:
Well, maybe he just wanted to see you in your dress uniform. It does show off your figure.

Major Kira:
I hope Shakaar's gotten better at speaking in front of groups. He used to mumble his way through mission briefings. Everyone in our resistance cell had to learn to lip-read.

[Quark is complaining about the noise Odo makes at night in his quarters]

Quark:
Do you know what it's like to hear someone practice shape-shifting? Last night, it sounded like a Takaran wildebeest was tromping around up there.

Odo:
That was for all of five minutes. Once you complained, I took the form of a Rafalian mouse.

Quark:
Yeah. Little tiny feet, skittering across the floor, back and forth, back and forth.

Major Kira:
You could hear that?

Quark:
[pointing at his ears] Hello?

Major Kira:
It's just Quark's luck that you would be assigned quarters right above his.

Odo:
"Luck" had nothing to do with it.

Quark:
[to Odo] Anytime there's an unusual crime committed on the station, I run a pool, so that people can bet on how long it'll take for you to catch the perpetrator. It's very popular.

Quark:
The fact that the pool exists says something about you - about who you are. People see you as the guy who always gets his man. Now, you're becoming the guy who tears up his quarters, and sits alone in the rubble. And no one's gonna want to place bets on how long someone's gonna sit around in the dark.

[in a fit of rage, Odo has demolished some of his furnishings]

Quark:
I knew it would come to this. You take the form of an animal, you're gonna end up behaving like one.

Quark:
I must say, I really didn't think you had it in you. It takes passion to do something like this. And I always thought you were colder than a Breen winter.

Shakaar:
I want to stop by the Promenade and visit the temple first.

Odo:
Why wasn't I told about this?

Sarish:
I didn't know myself until a moment ago.

Shakaar:
Is there a problem?

Odo:
I would have posted extra Security on the Promenade.

Shakaar:
Oh, well, we'll just... slip in, I'll stay for a few minutes and then... we'll slip out.

Odo:
[sighs] With all due respect, sir, now that you're First Minister, you can't slip in or out of *bed* without people noticing.

Shakaar:
[laughs] Maybe not. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna stay in bed all day.

Shakaar:
You know, I've been a soldier, and I've been a politician. And I have to say, I'm beginning to think that being a soldier was easier.

Quark:
[to Odo] Frankly, I don't care whether you and Major Kira end up living happily ever after or not. I just want to see the situation resolved. And the way I see it, you've either got to tell her how you feel, or forget about her and get on with your life. Concentrate on the essentials!

Quark:
Well, I've said my piece; sorry for butting in. But I'm just looking out for my business.

Odo:
Funny. For a minute there, I thought you were talking to me as a friend.

Major Kira:
Hey - no belt?

Odo:
I'm just trying to keep to the essentials, Major.

Quark:
I dropped by your quarters this morning.

Odo:
Oh?

Quark:
I heard some noise, and when I went to complain, I found a work crew installing soundproofing in the floor. I have to say, Odo, I'm touched, that you would do something like that for me.

Odo:
I'm having the floor reinforced. The fact that they're soundproofing it as well is incidental. If you think I'd put up with three days of construction for your sake, think again.

Quark:
I guess I should've known. Thanks anyway.

Odo:
Don't mention it.

Doctor Bashir:
I'm glad we're finally doing this.

Major Kira:
What?

Doctor Bashir:
Talking to one another. Finding common interests. Burying the hatchet.

Major Kira:
Hatchet?

Doctor Bashir:
A Human expression. It means that we're finally putting past conflicts behind us.

Major Kira:
Making way for brand-new ones.

Major Kira:
I'm Kira Nerys.

Intendant Kira:
That makes two of us.

Odo:
No jokes. That's my Rule of Obedience number 14.

Major Kira:
I know you don't want to kill me. And you're searching for a good reason not to.

Intendant Kira:
Got any ideas?

["Smiley" O'Brien has refused to help Bashir escape]

Doctor Bashir:
Just tell me where the runabout pads are. I know you, Miles O'Brien. Somewhere inside of you there is a shred of decency. There has to be.

Smiley O'Brien:
I *am* a decent man. I just... I just... You don't understand, I can't help you, I-I can't. They'll kill me.

Doctor Bashir:
You're already dead. I'm sorry you don't see that. The life inside every human being here, every Terran, died a long time ago.

Garak:
He should die for this; we should make an example of him.

Intendant Kira:
You have made a career out of setting examples, Garak. I think you enjoy it too much.

Garak:
He could never have gotten on board that ship without help! This is the third incident in a month; at least allow me to interrogate him.

Intendant Kira:
Fine, interrogate him. But if he dies under your interrogation, I will make you my example, is that clear?

Intendant Kira:
You don't trust me.

Major Kira:
I'm... a little afraid of you.

Intendant Kira:
Then you fear yourself. I don't want your fear; I want your love. If you can't love me, who can?

Intendant Kira:
Benjamin - did I hurt your feelings?

Benjamin Sisko:
I never had any to hurt, Intendant.

Garak:
She'll never let you leave, you know. Can't you tell? She is in love.

Major Kira:
What're you talking about?

Garak:
In love with you, my dear. She's all atwitter about you, can't talk about anyone else. You're the perfect gift for the girl who has everything. She's taken you into her heart, like a Drathan puppy lig left on her doorstep. Who else could she share her deepest secrets with, tell her troubles to, trust with her life?

Major Kira:
All you have to do is take a look at the guard outside to see how much she trusts me.

Garak:
I arranged the guard. Oh, she trusts you. As much as she trusts anyone. So, who better to betray her?

Major Kira:
The Benjamin Sisko I know would never sell his soul, and allow himself to become part of this tyranny against his own people.

Benjamin Sisko:
Terrans don't have souls. We don't believe in them.

Benjamin Sisko:
What do you care about Terrans' freedom?

Major Kira:
I care about freedom! What I don't understand is why you *don't* care. Why the only one on this station I have met who seemed to give a damn was a Ferengi toad named Quark!

Benjamin Sisko:
You're looking in the wrong place for a hero, ma'am. I've made the best of a bad life for my crew. That's my contribution.

Major Kira:
Yes - you charmed your way out of the mines. But you and I both know, you're no less a victim than anyone else here.

Intendant Kira:
[after Benjamin Sisko has turned against her] Have you lost your mind?

Benjamin Sisko:
No - I didn't lose it. I just... changed it.

Intendant Kira:
And you... O'Brien, you... tinkerer and putterer and... fixer of broken things - you've been the perfect theta for years. What could possibly've gotten into you? What were you thinking?

Smiley O'Brien:
Do you want an answer, Intendant?

Intendant Kira:
Yes.

Smiley O'Brien:
[referring to Bashir] This man... this man... is a doctor where he comes from. And there's an O'Brien there just like me. Except he's some kind of... high up Chief of Operations. And they're Terrans. Can you believe that? Maybe it's a fairy tale he made up, but... it started me thinking, how... how each of us might've turned out, if history had been just a little different. I wanted him to take me with him. Because, whatever it's like where he's from, it's got to be better than this. There's got to be something better than this.

Renora:
This will be an informal hearing, so I'm going to start with some informal advice: I am one hundred years old. I do not have time to squander listening to superfluous language. In short, I intend to be in here until supper, not senility.

Ilon Tandro:
[after trying to abduct Dax off the station] My name is Ilon Tandro, special envoy from Klaestron IV, in charge of this extradition procedure.

Commander Sisko:
Extradition? I call this kidnapping and assault.

Major Kira:
You Klaestrons are allies of the Cardassians; your knowledge of the station confirms that. They must have given you the layouts, which not only compromises Bajoran security but also... annoys us.

Odo:
This case has thirty years of dust covering it. The extradition hearing will take about thirty minutes.

Commander Sisko:
I was hoping to make it a little longer than that.

Odo:
Good luck.

[Quark has refused to close his bar for the extradition hearing out of business reasons]

Odo:
Since the provisional government took over, they've got their hands into everything and of course, I'm the one who's expected to enforce their rules here.

Quark:
Ha!

Odo:
You know, I think this bar is just a little too near the exit.

Quark:
This is blackmail.

Odo:
No, it's just business. And "business is business".

Commander Sisko:
I want you to find all the medical evidence you can to support the theory that Jadzia Dax and Curzon Dax are two entirely separate people. Major...

Doctor Bashir:
Excuse me, sir, I-I don't know that there is any medical evidence on that.

Commander Sisko:
Assume there is, then find it.

[Sisko has asked Kira to search for precedents involving Trills]

Major Kira:
Is a Trill responsible for the conduct - for the acts - of its antecedent selves?

Commander Sisko:
Right, that kind of thing.

Major Kira:
What if I find the answer is yes?

Commander Sisko:
Then *that* answer is wrong. From this minute on, our answer is 'no'.

Renora:
The answer seems simple enough to me: split her down the middle, send the symbiont back to stand trial and keep the host here.

Doctor Bashir:
I'm afraid, it's a bit more complicated than that.

Renora:
Oh, what a surprise.

Odo:
It says Dax betrayed the Klaestron government to the rebels.

Commander Sisko:
It's all nonsense, Constable, I'm telling you, I knew the man!

Odo:
But did you know the symbiont *inside* the man?

Major Kira:
What was exactly your relationship with Curzon Dax?

Commander Sisko:
He took a raw young ensign under his wing, and taught me to appreciate life in ways I'd never thought about before. He taught me about art, and science, and diplomacy. Whatever sense of honor I might have today, he nurtured. Treason, murder - he was not capable of those things.

Odo:
Treason plus the murder of his own best friend, huh - strange business. If those charges *are* true, I'd want to hang Curzon Dax up by his heels myself.

Commander Sisko:
Thanks for the confidence.

Renora:
The penalty for these crimes on your planet is death, and that is rather permanent.

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
When one of my kind stumbles, Benjamin, it is a mistake that's there forever. I can't tell you which part of Curzon Dax couldn't stop himself from acting shamefully with another man's wife. I can tell you that he did love her - for whatever that's worth.

Commander Sisko:
Enough to kill her husband?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
So you are questioning?

Commander Sisko:
What else can I do?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax:
Nothing, Benjamin. Nothing at all.

Renora:
Lieutenant Dax, you are either 200 years older than I am or you're about the same age as my great granddaughter. At first I wondered which of those you were; now I am bothered by the likelihood that you may be both.

Enina Tandro:
My husband was not the hero in life that he was in death, Mr. Odo. In death, he became a legend, and I became a legend's wife. There're people who didn't even know my husband, who still contact me. Decades after his death, they still mourn him.

Odo:
But you don't?

Enina Tandro:
No. Because I knew the man before he became a legend. But I also know my place in history. My place is to carry on bravely, never to remarry, to represent my husband at the banquets given in his name, but never, never to talk about who he really was. Because nobody wants to hear that.

Odo:
They may have to hear it now.

Enina Tandro:
[smiling wryly] No matter what is said, they will still embrace his memory. For he was, and always will be, the hero who died for his people.

Enina Tandro:
[after a pause] But perhaps it's time for my place in history to change.

[last lines]

Enina Tandro:
Live, Jadzia Dax. Live a long, fresh and wonderful life.

Thomas Riker:
Looks like you got your evening all planned. Hope you've got room for the unexpected.

Thomas Riker:
Call me Will.
