Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: DS9: DS9 Kitchen Sink: *** Old Sinks ***: Quotes!
By Lea Frost on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 12:11 am:

I'm a hopeless quote maven, DS9 probably has the best dialogue on Trek, and this is far more fun than doing Latin homework. So here are a few of my favorite DS9 quotes, in no particular order...

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.
Quark: I never thought of that!
-- "By Inferno's Light"

May I speak freely, sir? What the HELL is wrong with Starfleet?
-- Kira, "The Search Part I"

O'Brien: I don't believe it!
Sisko: What?
O'Brien: I tore my pants!
Sisko: You...you tore your pants?
O'Brien: Yeah! I tore my pants! I guess I'm really in trouble now!
-- "Rocks and Shoals"

Tell me, Weyoun, have you ever been diagnosed as anhedonic?
-- Dukat, "Sacrifice of Angels"

So, I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all -- I think I can live with it, and if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing -- a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I *can* live with it. Computer, erase that entire personal log.
-- Sisko, "In the Pale Moonlight"

Weyoun: Prophets and Paghwraiths -- all this talk of gods strikes me as nothing more than superstitious nonsense.
Damar: You believe the Founders are gods, don't you?
Weyoun: That's different.
Damar: In what way?
Weyoun: The Founders are gods.
-- "Tears of the Prophets"

This is no time for a Changeling Pride demonstration on the Promenade.
-- Quark, "Chimera"

Kilana: Do you have any gods, Benjamin Sisko?
Sisko: There are things I believe in.
Kilana: Duty? Starfleet? The Federation? You must be very pleased -- you have this ship to take back to them. I hope it was worth it.
Sisko: So do I.
-- "The Ship"

Sisko: Do you really want to give up your life for the order of things?
Remata'klan: It is not my life to give up, Captain, and it never was.
-- "Rocks and Shoals"

I've always admired a well-tailored gown.
-- Mirror Garak, "Crossover"

Dukat: War is such thirsty work, wouldn't you agree?
Weyoun: Perhaps if you didn't talk so much your throat wouldn't get so dry.
-- "Sacrifice of Angels" (for that matter, that whole scene is incredibly quotable)

You're the kind of person that you either love or you hate. When I first met you, I hated you. And now I...don't.
-- O'Brien under the influence of a few pints, "Explorers"

And of course, one of the all-time classics:

Time to start packing!
-- Weyoun, "Sacrifice of Angels"


By D.K. Henderson on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 5:20 am:

Here's one I like--paraphrased a bit.

Quark: "I suppose you want blood wine."

Worf: "Prune juice. Chilled."

(By the way, did he ever drink prune juice after that line?)


By Rene on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 11:45 am:

"On the Enterprise, I was considered to be quite
humorous." - Worf

"That must have been one dull ship." - Jadzia

"You see! You see! That was joke. I get it.
It wasn't very funny, but I get it." - Worf

(I forget the title of the episode)


By Rene on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 11:48 am:

"I thought you said a bartender's life was
a lonely one." - Quark

"I did...but I'm not a bartender." - Vic

("What You Leave Behind", last episode of
DS9)


By Len on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 12:01 pm:

To the best of my memory--

From "Improbable Cause" :

Bashir: And what lesson do you derives from The Boy Who Cried Wolf?"

Garak: "Never tell the same lie twice!"


From "Trials and Tribble-ations":

Jadzia (or Bashir?): "Worf, Are those really Klingons??"

Worf: "It's a private matter- something we don't discuss with outsiders!"


By Aaron Dotter on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 12:37 pm:

From "Treachery, Faith, & The Great River":

"Of course I'm paranoid, everyone's trying to kill me!"- Weyoun-(what number?)


By rachgd on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 7:45 pm:

All time favourite DS9 quote -

"You hit me! Picard never hit me! - Q ("Q-Less")


By Matthew Patterson (Mpatterson) on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 8:09 pm:

I love this one:

"I see. And when were you planning to get back to work?"- Sisko, "Badda-bing, Badda-bang."


By Lea Frost on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 8:48 pm:

Rene: The episode is "Change of Heart."

Aaron: That was Weyoun Six. (That's a great line too! And a great episode. Can't believe I forgot that one...)

More quotes, since I'm bored. :-)

This is a very entertaining story, but why am I listening to it?
-- Dukat, "Defiant"

I can't wait to get back to Deep Space Nine and see your face when you find out that I never existed!
-- Bashir, "Trials and Tribble-ations"

The entire future of the galaxy may depend on us tracking down Willie Mays...and stopping him.
-- Jake, "In the Cards"

Herb [Quark]: Will someone please shoot me and put me out of my misery?
Jules [Bashir]: Oh, how I long for a gun.
-- "Far Beyond the Stars"

Dukat: A true victory is to convince your opponents they were wrong to oppose you in the first place -- to force them to acknowledge your greatness.
Weyoun: Then you kill them?
-- "Sacrifice of Angels"

Tell them we look like writers -- poor, needy, and incredibly attractive.
-- K.C. Hunter [Kira], "Far Beyond the Stars"

How many lives have you saved over your career, Doctor? Hundreds? Thousands? Do you think those people give a d*mn that you lied to get into Starfleet Medical? I doubt it.
-- Sloan, "Inquisition"

Gods don't make mistakes -- though sometimes, I think it would be nice to be able to carry a tune.
-- Weyoun, "Favor the Bold"

I forgive you, too.
-- Dukat to Sisko, "Sacrifice of Angels"


By Matthew Patterson (Mpatterson) on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 9:15 pm:

"I wish you hadn't done that."
-Female Founder, What You Leave Behind.

Just the way she says this line is so perfect. Her empire's collapsing around her, her palace has just been compromised, and she can still get exasperated at Garak for killing the last of the Weyouns…


By Amy on Tuesday, October 05, 1999 - 11:26 pm:

First Omet'iklan:
"I am first Omet'iklan and I am dead. We are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives..."

O'Brien:
"I am Miles Edward O'Brien. I am very much alive and I plan to stay that way!"

From "To the Death"


By Anonymous on Friday, October 08, 1999 - 12:01 pm:

Don't remember the name of the episode, but it's where Sisko, Worf, Odo and O'Brian are posing as Klingon warriors at a ceremony in order to get close to Gowron because they think he is being played by a Changeling. A Klingon commander is bragging about having destroyed a Federation ship and her entire crew, a ship which, we find out, was captained by a good friend of Sisko. We see the look of pure anger burn in Sisko's eyes as he walks over to the commander. The other three eye each other warily, wondering what Sisko is up to. They and we find out quickly as Sisko just hauls of and beats the total stuffing out of the Klingon with a punch or two. There is horror on the part of Worf, Odo and O'Brian - and us! - as we all think 'well, Sisko has gone and lost his temper and he's going to get them all killed.' Then Sisko yells the line that I never could have come up with in a month of Sundays

"Brag all you want...but don't get between me and the bloodwine!!!"


By Davey on Friday, October 08, 1999 - 12:45 pm:

Anonymous, it's "Apocalypse Rising."

"Actually the truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination."--Garak, "Improbable Cause"

"Gods don't make mistakes!!"--Weyoun, "Favor the Bold"=>The way he says this is priceless.

Way of the Warrior was loaded with good quotes:

Sisko: "...This is exactly what the Founders want--Klingons against Cardassians; Federation against Klingons. The more we fight each other, the weaker we'll get, and the less of a chance we'll have against the Dominion."

Martok: "But we can still win!!"

Sisko: "Not before those reinforcements get here. Now what do you want me to tell them? To stand down or to come in firing?"


"A Starfleet officer--that's what I am. That's what I always will be."--Sisko


Kira: "It looks like the Klingons are here to stay."

Sisko: "Maybe they are, but so are we."


By cableface on Sunday, October 17, 1999 - 2:18 pm:

Whispers, during O'Briens physical.
O'Brien: I don't have a sense of humour.
Bashir: Cough.
O'Brien:(Coughs)
Bashir:How's the sex life?
O'Brien: I don't have a sense of humour.


By Aaron Dotter on Sunday, October 24, 1999 - 6:43 pm:

I don't know if this has been said, but I liked Sloan's line from "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges":

..."I'll spare you the ends justify the means speech if you spare me the we must do what's right speech."


By cableface on Wednesday, October 27, 1999 - 1:43 pm:

The House Of Quark
Grilka:"I really am very grateful for all you've done Quark.That is why I'm going to let you take your hand off my thigh instead of shattering every bone in your body."


By D.K. Henderson on Thursday, October 28, 1999 - 5:23 am:

"DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION!"


By Mark Swinton on Wednesday, November 10, 1999 - 12:00 pm:

DUKAT: You don't like the dress?
KIRA: The dress is fine, I just don't like you.
(Bit more unpleasant dialogue, then Kira storms out with Dukat calling after her. He gives up, goes back into the room and picks up the dress. Then Ziyal comes in.)
ZIYAL: What was that, Father?
DUKAT: It's a gift... (thinks quickly then cracks me up whenever he says the next bit) It's a little something for you to wear at the party tonight...
(Sons and Daughters)


By Lea Frost on Monday, January 10, 2000 - 12:23 am:

Calm down, dear boy! We're writers, not Vikings.
-- Jules (Bashir), "Far Beyond the Stars"

Weyoun: Just keep smiling! We have to let them see we're still allies.
Dukat: I AM smiling.
-- "Behind the Lines"

Come in, come in! I was just oozing around the room.
-- Odo as Curzon, "Facets"

I can see two possibilities: either I'm more feeble-minded than you ever realized, or you're not as smart as you think you are.
-- O'Brien, "Statistical Probabilities"

If I had had just two more vials of White, you never would have had a chance.
-- Keevan, "Rocks and Shoals"

Maybe it's just being in the room with so many naked men.
-- Dax, "Broken Link"

You saved my life, and for that you have my gratitude...and my blessing.
-- Odo to Weyoun Six, "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River"

Ezri: That's ambitious -- the solos are scored for a tenor!
Worf: The acoustics were very favorable.
-- "Penumbra"

Would this be more aesthetically pleasing if it were blue?
-- Weyoun, "Favor the Bold"


By Mark Stanley on Monday, January 10, 2000 - 1:47 am:

From "Past Prologue":

Garak: "I'm so glad to have made such an *interesting* new friend today."

From "Cardassians":

Bashir: "... so you're going to tell me what's going on inside that plain and simple head of yours, my Cardassian friend, or we're going to sit here until we rot!"

(Whenever I watch this little scene in the runabout, I always follow up this line with an enthusiastic "Yeah!" Which was a bit embarrassing at a con I was at with both Andy and Sid -- my voice carried while we were watching episode clips and got a bit of a laugh from the room.)

From "The Wire"

Bashir: "Why are you telling me all this, Garak?"

Garak: "So that you can forgive me, why else? I need to know that someone forgives me."

Bashir (smiling down at him and taking his hand) "I forgive you. For whatever it is you did."

(Actually, the whole episode is one huge favorite quote, but I won't put you through that.)

From "Our Man Bashir":

Garak: "Another decorator's nightmare... this era had a distinct lack of taste."

~~~

That's all I can think of simply from memory, that's short enough to include, that someone else hasn't listed already. I may be back with more.


By Mark Swinton on Thursday, January 13, 2000 - 6:10 pm:

...but it's Quark!
(Brunt, on seeing "Lumbaa" in the episode nobody likes- "Profit and Lace")


By Plantman on Saturday, April 22, 2000 - 8:55 am:

Ezri to Bashir-- "I've never been into battle with someone I've slept with before" (What You Leave Behind)

Quark about Odo-- "That man loves me! Couldn't you see it? It was written all over his back." (What You Leave Behind)

Worf-- "Find him and kill him!" (Take Me Out to the Holosuite)

Sisko to Quark-- "I care about every single crewmember under my command. EVERY.. SINGLE... ONE!" (Siege of AR-558)

Quark-- "But when we were trapped in your office you said I was the most devious Ferengi you had ever met!"
Odo-- "I thought we were going to die. I was trying to be nice." (Civil Defence)


By Jayson Spears on Sunday, April 23, 2000 - 6:13 pm:

My favorites:

Martok: "By the hand of Kahles, get us outta here!!" -Once more unto the breach

Weyoun: "oh my, that is Quite toxic" (after he drinks the poisoned kanar in "Ties of blood and water"

Sisko: "You accused the Kia of burglury and kidnapping??!!!!"- Sisko to Jake and nog "in the cards"

Jadzia: " Thats the first smart thing you've done since you came over here!" Dax to Kira "equalibrium"

Damar: "Well hello old Friend"-damar to Weyoun after Worfs kills the last one


By Tom Kun on Monday, April 24, 2000 - 7:57 pm:

Great scene in at the beginning of "The Dogs of War" as O'Brien and Worf are watching Bashir and Dax having a bit of trouble trying to talk to each other.

Worf: "He is an overgrown child, and she is . . . confused."

(short pause)

O'Brien: "It could still work."


By Tom Kun on Monday, April 24, 2000 - 8:06 pm:

And while I'm at it . . .

"Couldn't you just take my word for it?"
--Quark, "Shadows and Symbols"

Rom: "We could..." (insert technobabble here)
Quark: "Wow! You're a genius!"
Rom: "Really?"
Quark: "How should I know? I don't have a clue what you just said."
--"Little Green Men"


By Jayson Spears on Saturday, April 29, 2000 - 8:40 am:

I have some more:
Gowron: "A charge has been made that you used MONEY to bring down a great house!!!"-(The house of Quark)

Klingon Helm officer: "But sir...they have a garrison of Ten thousand!" (after Kor orders to send a bording party abord the dominion outpost) (once more unto the breach)

O'Brien: "Major larks true pepper" (Babel)

O'Brien: "Who the hell ARE you people?" (whispers)

Sisko: "I have no interest in discusing the Klingons!"-to the Jem-haddar captor (The Jem-Haddar)


By Quark's Quoteman on Sunday, May 21, 2000 - 12:17 pm:

Quark: "If they complain that you don't spend enough time with them, threaten to spend even less. If they think they need more gifts, take some of the ones you already gave her away." (Quark on Females in "Indiscretion")

Quark: "Hew-mons! All you care about is yourselves. (Unknown Episode)

Grand Nagus: "Quark! What are you doing here!?"
Quark: "Grand Nagus!!!"
(he shuts the door)
Quark: "The Grand Nagus knows I'm here! I've got leave Ferenginar immediately before...
(he pauses)
Quark: "Wait a minute! What is the Grand Nagus doing in my closet!?"
(From "Ferengi Love Songs" [I think])

Come to Quarks! You'll have fun! Come to Quark's! Don't just walk, run!


By Tom Kun on Monday, June 12, 2000 - 8:56 pm:

"Who the hell are you?!"
--Odo upon first meeting Sisko, "Emmisary"

"Where's my Marauder Moe Action Figures?"
--Quark, "Ferengi Love Songs"

"But at this rate it'll take us weeks to get back to the station!"
"Actually, it'll take about five years."
--Nog and Jake, "The Jem'Hadar"

This next one is a reconstruction from memory, so it might be a bit inaccurate:

Worf: "Why do you stand so far from me, and speak in a low voice? Are you dishonoured by my presence or are you afraid of me? Now, I just called you a dung beetle. What is your response?"
Odo: "You should have your eyes examined."
O'Brien: [laughs]
Worf: "This is not working. Perhaps--"
(Sisko backhand slaps Worf across the face.)
Sisko: "Are you questioning the validity of my plan?!"
Worf: "Very convincing Captain. But, was it your intention to challenge me to a fight to the death?"
Sisko: "Of course not."
Worf: "Then I suggest you do not strike with the back of your hand. It implies such a challenge."
--"Apocalypse Rising"

Here's another from that same episode:
"Of course the stimulant is working, otherwise you would be so drunk you would not be able to stand."
--Worf

The best quote ever is from "Rocks and Shoals." To bad I seem to have misplaced the tape. When I find it, I'll post the quote, but it's going to be a long while.


By Ed Watson on Tuesday, June 13, 2000 - 10:47 am:

I've been reading through these lines. What fun! I miss DS9. I'm surprised to see only one of my two favorites. The first one is Garak's:

"The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination."

The one I don't see here (my absolute favorite) is a scene where Quark goes to visit the Nagus in his official chambers or something like that. Anybody know the ep? I don't remember.

Quark enters:

Zek: (in an annoyed voice) "What are you doing here Quark!?"
Quark: (nervously) Oh, I just came to pay my respects.
Zek: (pointing to a small recepticle next to Quark) "So PAY THEM!"

At which point, Quark quickly reaches into his pocket, pulls out some strips of latinum and deposits them into the box.

A great Ferengi twist on the old human saying. I'm still chuckling at that one.


By Tom Kun on Wednesday, June 14, 2000 - 3:16 pm:

Well it wasn't a long while. I just found my tape with "Rocks And Shoals" on it, so here it is, the best DS9 quote ever. Nothing else I have previously posted could hold a candle to this one.

The crew is on board their stolen, severely damaged Jem'Hadar ship, being pursued by some more Jem'Hadar ships. O'Brien and Nog are trying to fix the thing.

O'Brien: "Reroute the_damn gyrodyne through the_damn thruster array."
(Bit more dialogue from other characters here)
O'Brien: "Nog, did you reroute that_damn gyrodyne?"
Nog: "I'm trying, but the_damn thruster array won't take the input!"
O'Brien: "Try the lateral impulse thrusters and watch your mouth!"


By Mark Swinton on Thursday, June 15, 2000 - 6:43 pm:

How about this ... from the very first ever episode, "Emissary":

... _bloody Cardassians! I just got the _damn thing fixed!

(O'Brien)


By ScottN on Friday, June 16, 2000 - 9:11 am:

This is a pair of quotes from two different seasons that need to be juxtaposed for full effect:


Past Tense, Part I
Bashir (to Sisko): It makes you wonder... doesn't it? Are humans really any different than Cardassians... or Romulans?... If push comes to shove... If something disastrous happens to the Federation... If we are frightened enough... or desperate enough... How would we react? Would we stay true to our ideals, or would we just stay here, right back where we started?

Sisko replies with some platitude. Fast forward to season 6...

In the Pale Moonlight
Sisko: So, I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover up the crimes of other men. I'm an accessory to murder. And the most damining thing of all is: I think I can live with it. And if I had it to do over again, I would.


By Meg on Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 12:45 pm:

Whoa, ScottN. that's pretty cool

Here's my Quote: I hope it's correct.

"That's why you came to see me--isn't it Captain? because you knew i could do those things you weren't capable of doing. Well, it worked. And you'll get what you want--a war between the Romulans and The Dominion. And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you mat have just saved the enitre Alpha Quardrant, and all it cost was the life of one Romulan senator, one criminal, and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you, but i'd call that a bargain."
Garak--In the Pale Moonlight


By Lea Frost on Monday, June 19, 2000 - 9:28 pm:

Great quote, Tom! I forgot about that one. Actually, there are a lot of good lines in "Rocks and Shoals" (hey, it is my favorite episode! :-) ). I've already posted a bunch of them -- another good one is Keevan's line "I assume you've brought one of those Starfleet engineers who can turn rocks into replicators."

A few other good quotes...

I knew Brutus was going to kill Caesar in the first act! But Caesar didn't know it until the knife was in his back!
-- Garak expresses his disdain for Shakespeare, "Improbable Cause"

Weak eyes, good ears.
-- Weyoun, "Favor the Bold" (right?)

Kiss my scepter!
-- Quark to Odo, "The Nagus"

Methought I heard a voice cry "Sleep no more! Damar doth murder sleep!"
-- Jack offers a new take on Macbeth, "Statistical Probabilities"

Yes, I know. I honor you with my presence.
-- Odo to Weyoun, "Statistical Probabilities"

They are the Ambassadors of Unhappy!
-- Bashir, "Dramatis Personae"

Dukat: I hope First Minister Shakaar realizes what a lucky man he is.
Kira: Shakaar's not the father.
Dukat: Then who is?
Kira: Chief O'Brien.
-- "Apocalypse Rising" (the look on Dukat's face is just priceless)


By Matt Pesti on Tuesday, July 11, 2000 - 11:27 pm:

The Line has to be drawn here, this far and no further.

-Quark


By Tom Kun on Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 2:35 pm:

"Next time you want to have a baby, leave my girlfriend out of it."
--Shakaar to O'Brien, "The Begotten"

Here's a great one from the end of "Civil Defense":

[Quark is reading a file on Odo's computer in the security office]
Quark (reading the file): "A self-important con artist who's nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is."
Odo: "I told you to stay out of my computer."
Quark: "Two hours ago you told me I was the most devious Ferengi you ever met."
(They walk out of the office)
Odo: "I thought we were going to die. I was trying to be nice."
(The camera moves to the top level of the Promenade and we can just see Quark & Odo walking away in the distance as their voices fade)
Quark: "Name one Ferengi who's more devious than I am."
Odo: "The 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. Your cousin Gaila."
Quark: "Gaila? The one with the moon?"


By Josh Mastin on Tuesday, August 15, 2000 - 11:19 pm:

"What you Leave Behind":
I am happy for you, but I am going to kill him.
-Worf

Brunt: Can't we start with something easier?
Nog: Like what?
Brunt: Like ambushing a couple of Bolians.
Nog: You couldn't ambush a Bolian if he was blindfolded and tied to a tree!

"The Magnificent Ferengi"


By Tom Kun on Wednesday, August 16, 2000 - 9:20 am:

From "Soldiers of the Empire"

O'Brien: "How's the intelligence business?"
Bashir: "Oh, I can't talk about it. All I can do is read these fascinating reports and analyses. And analyses of analyses and then keep it all to myself. Because no one else has a need to know. So I have to walk around this station feeling like I--ah, you don't really care do you?"
O'Brien: "No."


By Josh on Tuesday, September 05, 2000 - 4:21 pm:

I'm not sure if this has been posted:

"Do they still sing songs about the great tribble hunt?"
Odo to Worf, "Trials and Tribbleations"


By Ed Watson on Wednesday, September 06, 2000 - 5:08 pm:

Josh,

That's a great one!! I had forgotten about it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!


By Josh S on Wednesday, September 06, 2000 - 9:08 pm:

"I'm a doctor, not a historian!"
-Dr. Bashir, "Trials and Tribble-ations"

Jake: "We don't use money. Humans now work to better themselves and the rest of humanity."
Nog: "What is that supposed to mean?"
Jake: "It mean, it means we don't use money!"
-"In the Cards"

"Oh, so let me get this straight, the crimes of the Occupation wasn't your fault, it was the Bajorans' fault?"
Sisko to Dukat, "Waltz"

Sisko: "You two are coming with me, are you two crazy?"
Grandpa Sisko: "Apparently it runs in the family."
-"Image in the Sand"


By ScottN on Friday, September 15, 2000 - 9:26 am:

Regarding my post of June 16, does anybody have Sisko's reply to Bashir? I know I have Bashir's quote from Past Tense Pt I correct, but I would really like to find Sisko's reply, as it would be REAAAAALLLLY cool to have in juxtaposition to "In the Pale Moonlight".


By ScottN on Friday, September 15, 2000 - 9:38 am:

Sorry about the triple post. !#$!^#$@!@ Discus...


By Tom Kun on Monday, September 18, 2000 - 9:19 pm:

This isn't really from any Star Trek, but I feel it is worthy of note:

"Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement."
--The Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Californication"


By Owen Morton on Friday, December 01, 2000 - 4:10 pm:

"Minsk" - Worf, What You Leave Behind


By Cynical-Chick on Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 10:15 pm:

I don't know what episode it was, but I like the one where Bashir, O'Brien, and someone else are reciting the poem "The Six Hundred." [or was it 300?]

Nog: "Whatever you all are reciting, I wish you'd stop."


Right now, I'm so tired, I can't think.

Was that "The Charge of the Light Brigade", a poem immortalizing an unspeakable military blunder during the Crimean War? "Theirs not to reason why/Theirs but to do and die. Into the valley of death/Rode the six hundred."

(I also liked a French general's tribute as he watched the doomed men--"It's magnificent, but it's not war.")

Senetor Vreenak (In pale moonlight.). : " To Be honest Captain, my oppinion of starfleet is so low, you'ld have to try very hard indeed to dissapoint me!"


By Cynical-Chick on Monday, June 25, 2001 - 12:29 am:

Yes, it was. Thank you.

Not long after I posted that, I worked on a major English poetry project, and found that.


By Cynical-Chick on Monday, June 25, 2001 - 12:38 am:

In one of the "Millenium" novels [yeah, yeah, I know] that I could swear happened in an episode, but I know didn't:


Jadzia: From another species' point of view, we're aliens.

Jake: So if we're all aliens...

Jadzia: Then that's what makes us all the same.

Worf [just entering]: I hate to interrupt this discussion of Vulcan philosophy, but...


Okay. While Jake & Dax were discussing that, I hear, in the background...

I love you...
You love me...

Come on! That is soo Barney! It's good philosophy, but I think...

Sisko's platitude from "Past Tense":

(after Bashir's question)

Sisko: I don't know, but as a Starfleet officer, it's my job to make sure I never find out.


By ScottN on Wednesday, July 04, 2001 - 12:30 am:

Anyone remember the Vreenak quote from "In the Pale Moonlight", the one about "somehow I thought you'd be taller?"


By ScottN on Wednesday, July 04, 2001 - 12:33 am:

Oh, and thanks, Cynical-Chick.

That platitude makes it even more ironic, because as Vreenak so kindly points out, Sisko is the man who started the war with the Dominion. So even though it's his job to make sure he never finds out, he made it NECESSARY to find out.


By Meg on Sunday, July 08, 2001 - 9:40 am:

So, youre the captain of Deep Space Nine. Emissary to the Prophets, Decorated combat officer, Widower, father, mentor--and oh yes, the man who started the war with the Dominion. Somehow, I thought that you'd be taller.

Vreenak

In the Pale Moonlight


By Meg on Sunday, July 08, 2001 - 10:08 am:

Prophet: then why do you exist here? (Emissary)

Odo: You claimed Rom fixed you replicators.
Quark: So?
Odo: Rom's an Idiot. He couldn't fix a straw if it were bent. (Babel)

I'am Sorry--I have no vice for you to Exploit (captive pursiut) I remember the Quote, i just can't remeber who said it.

Vash: what did they call you--The God of Lies
Q: they meant it affectionately. (Q-less)

Quark: theres nothing wrong with a good Delusion--I sell then upstairs to dozens of people every day (the Passenger)

Sisko: If all else fails just Yell again Doctor (move along Home)

Croden: You can pour your square shape into a round hole, but you don't really fit do you (Vortex)

Kira: if you rlies are going to be this transparent, it's going to be a very short interogation.
Marritza: in that case, I'll try to make my lies more opaque. (duet)

Marritza: you can never undo what i have accomplished-- the dead will still be dead. (duet)

Marritza: i regret alot of what I had to do.
Kira: how convenient of you. (duet, again)

Some fear you as the symbol of the Federation they view as godless. Some fear you as the Emissary who walked with the prophets. And some fear you becasue Vedek Winn told them to. (In the Hands of the Prophets. I forgot who spoke the line.)

Li Nalas: It's all based on a lie.
Sisko: No it's based on a legend, and legends can be a powerful as any truth. (the Homecoming)

Quark to Odo: We've got to leave. Well I do anyway; you can just turn into a couch. (the Circle)

Garak: I am no more a spy than you are...
Bashir: a doctor. (cardassians)

Odo: you're not a stoopid as you look.
Rom: I am too (Necessary Evil)

Sisko: She was wearing RED (second Sight)

Jake: Just becasue you suffered through Kilingon Opera doesn't mean I have to.
Sisko: Yes it does. (the Alternate)

Bashir: I prescribe rest, because it's hard for a doctor to go wrong with that one. (the Alternate)

Joseph: My name's Joseph. Vinod is the one playing with a sharp object. (paradise)

Bashir: if youre not a spy, maybe youre an outcast?
Garak: or maybe I'm an outcast spy.
Bashir: how can you be both?
Garak: Doctor, I never siad I was either. (profit and loss)

Quark: She want's to know if it hurts. Of course it hurts, it's supposed to hurt. it's a PHaser. (Profit and Loss)

Bashir (on a place to eat): there's always Quarks.
Garak: true, but i'm not in the mood for noisy, crowed and vulgar. (the Wire)

Garak: Doctor, did anyone ever tell you that you are an infurianting pest?
Bashir: Chief O'brein, All the time, and I don't pay any attention to him either. ( the Wire)

Bashir: i just want to know--Which story was true?
Garak: my dear doctor, they're all true.
Bashir: even the Lies?
Garak: Especially the Lies (the Wire)

Kai Winn: I know you're under a terribel strain, but if you're wise, you will never speak to me with such disrespect again. (The Collaborator)


By Meg on Sunday, July 08, 2001 - 11:04 am:

Garak: It's a little foolish to worry about your carrers at a time like this, when there's a good chance we're all about to be killed (the Search pt II)

Garak: Major, I don't think I've ever seen you looking so Ravishing (second Skin)

Sisko on Dukat: You know I never knew how much this man's voice annoyed me. (civil Defense)

Dukat: let me guess; someone tried to duplicate my acces code, hmmm? (Civil Defence)

Dukat: Garak, groveling in a corner; this alone make my trip worthwile (civil Defense)

Dukat: Someone has to pay for what's happened here, and I don't want that someone to be me. (defiant)

Bashir: How many games of Raquetball have we played in that last two months?
O'Brien: i don't know... 15 maybe 20.
Bashir: Try 70. I've been keeping track of that. And you know that all those games have proved to me? that i'm a poor substitue for a wife.
O'Brien: I could've told you that 60 games ago. (Fasination)

Sisko: i'm sorry major, but where you see a Sword of Stars, I see a comet; where you see vipers, I see three scientists; and where you see the emissary I see a Statfleet Officer (Destiny)

O'Brein: I HATE Temporal mechanics. ( Visionary)

Garak On Cardassian Mysteries: The challenge is to determine exactly who is guilty of what. (Distant Voices)

Garak: To think, after all this time, all out lunches together, you still don't trust me. There's hope for you yet Doctor (Distant Voices)

Mirror Kira: the only reason I can think of to keep you alive is to infuriate Garak.
Sisko: What better Reason do you need.

Enabrin Tain: So do you want to go back to you shop and hem pants, or shall we pick up where we left off. ( Improbable Cause)

Enabrin Tain: These founders Elim, they're very good. Next time, we should be more careful ( the Die is Cast)

Kira: you know, the way we go through Runabouts it's a good thing that Earth has so many rivers. (Family Business)

Odo: He said, "You're too late, we're Everywhere" (the Adversary)

Garak on Root beer: It's Vile.
Quark: I know, It's so bubbly and cloying and Happy. (the way of the Warrior)

Garak: If a Kilngon were to kill me I'd expect nothing less that an entire opera on the subject. (The Way of the Warrior)

Sisko Reading the acnowledment in Jake's Book: to my father--who's coming Home. (the Visitor)

Kira to Dukat: Sisko's right. You are in love with the sound of your own voice. (Indiscretion)

Kor: Worf, the Traitor, the Pariah. Lowest of the Low. Pleasure to meet you (Sword of Kahless)

Garak: I must say Doctor this is more than i ever wanted to know about you fantasy Life. (our man Bashir)

Changling in the form of O'Brien: We're smarter than solids--we're better than you. And most importantly, we do not fear you the way you fear us. In the end, it's you fear that will destroy you. (Paradise Lost)

Ziyal: when I look at my father, I have a hard time seeing a murderer.
Kira: and when I look at him, I have a hard time seeing anything else. (Return to Grace)

O'Brien: I'm perfectly healthy--except i've got this disgusting cyst on the back of my neck. Now either I paint a nose, eyes and mouth on it and pretend I've got tow head, or you take it off.
Bashir: Well, I'll get you some paint. (Bar Association)

Sisko after he's relinqued the title of Emissary: I'm just a Starfleet officer again. All I have to worry about are the Klingons, the Dominion, and the Maquis. It feel like I'm on Vacation. (accession)

Worf: Life is great deal more complicated in this red uniform
Sisko: wait til you get four pips on that collar--you'll wish you had gone int botany (rules of Engagement)

O'Brein: When we were growing up, they used to tell us Humanity had evolved-that mankind had outgrown hate and rage. But when it came down to it-when I had the chance to show that no matter what anyone did to me, I was still and evolved human being--I failed. i repaid Kindness with blood. I was no better than an animal (Hard time)

Bashir: The Argrathi did everything they could to strip you of your humanity--and in the end, for one brief momnet, they susceeded. But you can't let that brief moment define your entire life. If you do--if you pull that trigger--then the Argrathi will have won. They will have destroyed a good man. YOu cannot let that Happen my Friend. (Hard Time)

Mirror Garak: At least I could please her now and then.
Mirror Worf: you are not my type.
Mirror Garak: I never said I was. (Shattered Mirror)

Sisko on Jake's Manuscript: The dialogue is sharp, the story's involving, the characters are real..the spelling's terrible. (the Muse)

Eddington: Open your eyes, Captian. Why is the Federation obsessed with the Maquis? We've never harmed you, and yet we're constantly arrested and charged with terrorism. Starships chase us through the badlands, and our supportes are harrased and ridiculed. WHY? Becasue we've left the Federation, and that's the one thing you can't accept. Nobody leaved Paradise--everyone should want to be in the Federation. Hell, you even want the Cardassians to join; you're only sending them replicators because one day, they can take their rightful place on the Federtion Council. You know, in some ways, you're worse than the Borg. At least thy tell you about their plans for assimilation. You're more insidious; you assimilate people, and they don't even know it. (For the Cause)

Bashir: I was so arrogant, i thought I could find a Cure in a week.
Dax: Maybe it was arrogant to think that--but it's even more arrogant to think there isn't a cure just because you couldn't find it. (the Quickening)

Quark: maybe I wasn't Clear: i'm not dying
Brunt: maybe i wasn't clear: i don't care. (body parts)

Quark: You weren't always a tailor.
Garak: YOu're right. I used to be a gardener. Now if you want something weeded just let me know (body parts)

Female shapshifter: they're Dead. You're dead. Cardassia is Dead. Your people were doomed the moment they attacked us. I belleve that answers you question (Broken Link)


By Meg on Sunday, July 08, 2001 - 12:13 pm:

O'Brien: I'm not some bloodthirsty Klingon looking for and excuse to murder my friend.
Worf: No, you are just another weak human afraid to face death (the Ship)

Bashir treating Quark and Grilka's injuries): what were you doing?
Quark: You mean "what were we doing?"
Bashir: Nevermind. I don't need that particular Image running around in my head. I'll just treat you.
(worf and Dax walk in sickbay with injuries and smiles)
Bashir: I don't need that image either; in fact i'm going to stop asking that question altogether. People con come in, I will treat them, and that's all. (Looking for Par'mach in all the wrong place)

(Trials and Tribble-ations) The whole script. It just that good.

Quark to Odo on his solid form: I can finally sit in a chair and know with absolute certainty that it isn't you. (the ascent)

Sisko: I almost had it--almost understood it all. now it's gone. (Rapture)

Kira: He wanted to protect the innocent and separte the Darkness from the light. But he didn't realize that light only shines in the darkness and sometimes innocence is just an excuse for the guilty. (the Darkness and the Light)

Bashir: Now that you are a humanoid, you've got to learn to relax.
Odo: That's what you said last week.
Bashir: And?
Odo: And it helped...that and the prune juice. (The Begotten) Kind of wierd if you figure that Bashir was a changeling in this episode.

Mora: If it wasn't for me, you'd still be sitting on shelf somwhere in a beaker labeled Unknown Sample. (The Begotten)

Worf: at the first sign of Betrayal I will kill him--but I promise to return the body intact.
Sisko: I assume that's a joke.
Worf: We will see. ( In purgatory's Shadow)

Worf: Then why all the deception?
Garak: because Lying a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to parctice constantly.
Worf: Practice on someone else.
Garak: Mr. Worf, You're no fun at all (In purgatory's Shadow)

Garak: You've come a long way from the naive young man i met five years ago. You've become distrustful and suspicious. It suits you.
Bashir: I had a good teacher. (in Purgatory's Shadow)

Garak: I'll do what you ask, on one condition: that you don't ask me this favor as a mentor, or as a superior officer, but as a father asking his son. (In Puragotry's Shadow, once again)

Garak: This would make a wonderful interrogation chanber. Tight Quarters, no air, bad lighting, random electric shocks. It's perfect (by Inferno's Light)

Dukat: By the time my son's birthday dawns, ther will not be a single Klingon alive inside Cardassian territory, or a single maquis colony left inside 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 al out sons. (by Inferno's Light)

O'Brien: Think of it Julian: if this thing works, you'll be able to irritate people you've never even met. (Doctor Bashir I Presume)

O'Brien: Then it's true? You're...
Bashir: The workd you're looking for is 'unnatural' meaning not from nature. 'freak' or 'monster' would also be acceeptable. (Doctor Bashir I Presume)

Bashir: You used to be my father. Now you're my architect: the man who designed a better son to replace the defective one he was given (Doctor Bashir I presume)

Girl ( I can't remember her name): I didn't realize I tripped an alarm.
Odo: You didn't. You're good.
Girl: I still got caught.
Odo: I've been following you.
Girl: I didn't know.
Odo: I'm good too. (A Simple Investigation)

In Dr. Bashir's James Bond holosuite Program. O'Brien Opend the door to Bashir's Limo.
O'Brien: Car Trouble Mr. Bashir? Oh, Hi Odo. ( A Simple Investigation)

O'Brien: What are you telling me, My baby's Just Sad?
Bashir: Perhaps he's become prematurely aware of life's existential isolation.
O'Brien: are you sure it's not a rash?
Bashir: Look on the Bright side, He'll probably be a great poet. (Business as usual)

Child: are you the son of Mogh?
Worf: Yes I am.
Child: is it true you cna kill someone just by looking at them?
Worf: Only when i am angry. (Children of Time)

Kira: Praying over your own Grave. That's gotta be a new one.
Odo: If the Prophets were listening I'm sure they're very confused. (Children of time)

Kira: we've got to take the Defiant back in time--other wise we'd be cheating fate.
O'Brien: Yeah, well i wouldn't mind Cheating fate all the way back to the station. (Children of Time)

Odo: There's something else the other Odo wanted you to know. He was responsible for changing the Defiant's flight plan.
Kira: Why?
Odo: So that you wouldn't have to die.
Kira: I can't believe it. Eight Thousand People.
Odo: He did it for You Nerys. He loved you.
Kira: That makes it right?
Odo: I don't know. He thought so. (Children of Time)

Eddington: We had the Cardassians on the Run
Sisko: and look where they ran. Right into the arms of the Dominion. (Blaze of Glory)

Garak: Lately I've noticed that everyone seems to trust me. It's really quite unnerving. I'm still trying to get used to it. (Empok Nor)

Nog: that's not the face of a tailor.
Garak: I'm not a tailor. Not for the moment anyway. (Empok Nor)

Garak: and the worst part is, this isn't a coil spanner (STAB) It's a flux coupler. (Empok Nor)

Garak: Well, it could have been worse. If i'd been any closer to that phaser, it would've killed me.
O'Brien: well, don't take this the wrong was, but, that was the idea. (Empok Nor)

Giger: I havent' done anything wrong, and i won't be hounded by you and your souless minions of orthodoxy. I haven't broken any laws...except of the laws of nature so stay away from me. (in the Cards)

Jake: Lions and Gigers and Bears (in the Cards)

Weyoun: I believe you.
Jake: You do?
Weyoun: I believe your first story. That you're two innocent boys trying to give a gift to captain Sisko. (In the Cards)

Garak to Ziyal: Dear, I find your blind Adoration both flattering and disturbing. (call to arms)

Odo and Kira have discussed putting his feeling for her behind them during the crisis.
Kira: So for now all we need to concern ourselved with is deploying the minefield, maintaining station security, and preparing for a Dominion invasion.
Odo: I don't know about you, but i feel more comfortabel already (Call to arms)

Garak: It's Ironic..When the Klingons were attacking the station, Gul Dukat and I where fighting side by side. At one point he turned his back to me, and i must admit, he made a very tempting target.
Odo: You'd shoot a man in the back?
Garak: It's the safest way isn't it? But then i thought, well, no i can't fight these klingons all by myself, so i let him live.
Odo: and now you regret it.
Garak: My dear Constable...Before this day is over, everyone on this station is going to regret it. (Call to Arms)

Kira: Captain, as a Major in the bajoran Militia, I must officially protest Starfleet's refusal to turn over this station to My government.
Sisko: Your protest is duly noted.
Kira: Good now that that's over with--Kira Nerys reporting for duty. (Call to Arms)

Weyoun:I assume Captain Sisko removed or destroyed anything of value.
Dukat with Sisko's baseball: Not everything.
Weyoun: What is that.
Dukat: A message from Sisko.
Weyoun: i don't understand.
Dukat: He's letting me know--he'll be back.

I'll be back later with seasons 6 and 7 best lines.


By Meg on Sunday, July 08, 2001 - 1:36 pm:

Kira: What do you think is gonna happen here Dukat? That you're going to wear me down with your charming personality? that i'm going to be swept off my feet by that insincere smile? Are you really so deluded that you actually believe that we're going to have some kind of intimate relationship?
Dukat: Oh, We already Do. (A time to Stand)

Keevan: I'm alive
Bashir: No self Diagnosis, please. I'm the doctor here. (Rock and Shoals)

Kira: Half the alpha quadrant is out there right now, fighting for my freedom, but not me. What am I doing? I'm eating a full meal every day, sleeping in a soft bed...even write reports for the murderers who run this station. (Rock and Shoals)

Damar: What can i do for You Major?
Kira: I'm looking for Odo
Damar: (look) (look) well, he's not here. (Beind the Lines)

Female Shapeshifter upon starting to link with Odo: Do you want me to stop? (Behind the Lines)

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 Cardassians; they're mean. And I can't Stand the Jem'hadar; they're creepy. They just stand there like statues, looking at you. (Behind the Lines)

Kira: The Last Five years, your life here, our friendship: none of that matters?
Odo: it did once. (Behind the Lines)

Kira: Let her go.
Damar: And if i don't, what then?
Kira: I was hoping you'd ask that (WHAM! BOFF! KICK!) Sorry got stuck in a batman daze (Favor the Bold)

Dukat: Perhaps the biggest disapointment of my life is that the bajoran people still refuse to appreciate how lucky they were to have me as thier liberator. I protected them in so many ways-cared for them as if they were my own children. But to this day, is there a single statue of me on Bajor.
Weyoun: I would guess not. (Sacrifice of Angels)

Worf: That is a prejudiced, Xenophobic view.
Martok: We are Klingons Worf. (you are Cordially Invited)

Jack: There are rules. Don't talk with your mouth full, don't open an airlock when there's somebody inside, and don't talk about your genetic status (Statisical Probabilities)

Quark: Going somewhere?
Keevan: Apparently not. I couldn't get the impulse engines online.
Quark: that's becasue i had Rom disengage the induction matrix.
Keevan: Then why did you chase me?
Quark: becasue sometimes my brother gets things wrong. (the Magnificent Ferengi)

Sisko: Is there anything I can get you?
Dukat: A bottle of Kanar and an Orion Slave girl would be nice (Waltz)

Bashir: you will forgive me if i don't consider your honor to be worth captain Sisko's life.
Worf: You may leave the bridge doctor. (Waltz)

Dukat: I should have killed them All
(WHAM)
Sisko: And that is why you are not an evil man.

You are the dreamer and the dream (Far beyond the stars)

Jadzia: Let me make this very clear. I do not want to spend out honeymoon climbing, hiking, sweating, bleeding, or suffering in any way.
Worf: Allright, what do you want
Jadzia: Room service (Change of Heart)

O'Brien trying to convince Bashir to play tongo with Quark: Do it for the satisfaction of seeing the look on Quarks face when he's beated at a game of Tongo by a lowly hew-mon
Bashir: Deal the cards (Change of Heart)

Cardassian: I only hope you won't condemn us all for the boorish behavior of one man.
(Dukat repeats the line)
Kira: How did you know he was going to say that?
Cardassian: Let's just say this isn't the first time i've seen this little...Melodrama (Wrongs Darker than Death or Night)

Sisko: So far your case is based on circumstantial Evidence and speculation.
Sloane: What other evidence can I make against a man who covers his tracks so well?
Sisko: That's a circular argument and you know it! (Inquistion)

Weyoun: Do you remember the first time I gave you scones doctor. (Inquistion) Maybe not the best line, but a great delivery.

Sisko: Who's watching Tolar?
Garak: i've locked him in his quarters. I've also left him with the distinct impression that if he attempt to force the door open, it may explode.
Sisko: I hope that's just an impression.
Garak: It's best not to dwell on such Minutiae. (In the Pale Moonlight)

Sisko: Mr. Garak, after having spent a week with you, I have developed a very, very thick skin. (in the Pale Moonlight)

Bashir; Who knows? The rest of the tablet probably says, Go to Quark's, It's happy Hour. (The Reckoning)

Jadzia: During the Reckoning the Bajoran people will either suffer horribly, or eat fruit.
Sisko: Eat Fruit?
Jadzia: Given the tome for the rest of the incriptions, I would bet on horrible suffering (The Reckoning)

Sisko: I just got this uncontrollable urge to smash the tablet.
Jadzia: Oh, I get those urges all the time, but i never act on them (The Reckoning)

Quark: To Failure
Jake: I'm not drinking to that
Quark: Jake, In ten minutes my business partner's ship will dock. In fifteen minutes, Odo will arrest him. In Twenty Minutes, my name will come up and in twenty-five minutes, Odo will walk in here with a warrant. I think you should humor me on this one. (The sound of her Voice)

Dukat: Well, isn't anyone going to welcome me home?
Weyoun: Heroes get welcomed home Dukat, not failures. (Tears of the Prophets)

Weyoun: we're in the middle of a life and death struggle for the control of the entire alpha quadrant and all you can care about is quenching your petty thrish for revenge. You haven't changed a bit have you. (Tears of the Prophets)

Weyoun: You're right Dukat, you have changed. You've gone from being a self-important egotist, to a self-deluded madman. I'd hardly call that improvement. (Tears of the Prophets)

Dukat: I know it's a small comfort, but i never intented you any harm. (Tears of the Prophets)

Kira: I was afraid of that. He's not sure he's coming back.
Odo: What makes you say that?
Kira: His baseball. He took it with him. (Tears of the Prophets)


By Meg on Sunday, July 08, 2001 - 2:57 pm:

Quark: What makes you think she even want to spen eternity there? I know I certanly wouldn't. I magine what is must be like--hordes of rampaging klingons, fighting and singing, sweating and belching...
Bashir: sound like this place on a saturday night.
Quark: would you want to spend eternity here? (Image in the Sand)

Garak: Spar me your insipid psychobabble. I'm not some quivering neurotic who feels sorry form himself just becasue his dady wasn't nice. (Afterimage)

Garak: 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. (Afterimage)

Bashir: What are you eating?
O'Brien: I'm not eating, I'm Chewing
Bashir: Chewing what?
O'Brien: Gum. I'ts Traditional. I had the replicator create me some.
Bashir: They just chewed it?
O'Brien: No, they infused the gum with flavor.
Bashir: What did you infuse it with?
O'Brien: Scotch. (take me Out to the Holosuite)

Kor: Savor the Fruit of life, my young friends. It has a sweet taste when still fresh on the vine. But don't live too long, the taste turns bitter after a time. (Once more Unto the Breach)

Dukat on being one with the Pah-wraiths: it opened my heart.
Kira: what that before or after you killed Jadzia? (Covenant)

Vic: You stay here, you're gonna die. Not all at once, but little by little. Eventually, you'll become as hollow as I am. (It's only a paper Moon)

Ezri: Worf, face it. The guard-my-cellmate-is-ill trick didn't work. Neither did your I'll-make-a-tool-and-short-circuit-the-door idea. (Till Death do Us Part)

Dukat as Anjohl: The prophets may have chosen to speak through him, but he's not really one of us, is he? (Till Death do Us Part)

Weyoun: You're witnessing an historic moment: The birth of the allance between the dominion and the Breen. Changes everything doesn't it? (Till Death do Us Part)

Damar: Well Hello.
Weyoun: I'm glad to see you find the death of my Predasessor so amusing.
Damar: You misjudge me. I miss him deeply. Here, Let's drink to Weyoun 7. (Strange Bedfellows)

Dukat as Anjolh: Stop Pretending to be something your not. (Strange Bedfellows) Great Irony.

Upon learning that Worf and Ezri Escaped
Weyoun: The Founder. She wishes to see me. She has to be told about this.
Damar: Oh, I'm sure they'll understand. But if she doesn't, I look foward to meeting Weyoun 9 (Strange Bedfellows)

Weyoun: There's something different about you today Damar. I can't Quite put my finger on it. It's as if your half dressed.
Damar: What are you talking about?
Weyoun: You don't have a bottle in your hand. (The Changing face of Evil)

Damar: And so, two years ago, our govenrment signed a treaty with the dominion. In it the Dominion promised to extend Cardassia's unfluence throughout the Alpha quadrant. In exchange, we pledged ourselves to join the war against the Federation and it's allies. Cardassians have never been afraid of war--a fact we've proven time and again over these past two years. Seven Million of our brave soilders have given their lives to fulfill our part of the agreement. And what has the dominion given us in return? Nothing. We've gained no new territories, in fact our influence throughout the quadrant has diminished. And to make matters worse, we are no longer masters in our own home. Travel anywhere in Cardassia and what do you find? Jem'hadar, Vorta, and now Breen. Instead of the invaders we have become the invaded. Our allies have conquered us with out firing a single shot. (The Changing Face Of Evil)

Winn: Remember your Place Dukat.
Duakt: I thought my place was in your bed (When it Rains...)

Damar: They weren't a part of this rebellion. The Dominion knew that, the Founder knew that, Weyoun knew that. But to kill her and my son, The casual brutality of it, a waste of life. What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent Women and Children? what kind of people give those orders.
Kira: Yeah Damar, What kind of people give those orders. (Taking into the Wind)

Ezri: How many times have you had to cover up the crimes of Klingone leaders because you were told it was 'for the good of the empire.' I know tis sounds harsh, but the truth is, you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example. Worf--you are the most honorable and decent man that I've ever met, and if you're willing to tolerate men like Gowron, then what hope is htere fo rthe Empire? (Tacking into the Wind)

Odo: I want you to leave
Kira: Why?
Odo: You watched Bareil die in this room. I know how that's haunted you. I don't want your last memory of me to be witnessing my death.
Kira: Isn't that my choice?
Odo: Maybe it is, and maybe i'm being selfish telling you all the things i want, but I don't want the last thing I see to be pain in your eyes. (Extreme Measures)

Quark: As far as I'm concerned, the Ferenginar I knew doesn't exist anymore. No.. I take that back. It will exist, right here in this bar. This establishment will be the last outpost of what made Ferengi great: the Unrelenting Lust for profit. Broik--Water the drinks, Imtella--rig the Dabo tables. Rom--i want to buy back the bar.
Rom: that's okay brother, I'll give it to you.
Quark:I suppose you're gonna let me keep the five thousand bars of latinum too.
Rom: you're my brother
Quark: and you're an Idiot. But i love you. (The Dogs of War)

Sisko: Ensign, I believe you know the way to Cardassia
Nog: If i get lost, i'll just follow the ship in front of me. (What you Leave Behind)

Mila: When you were a small boy i was worried about you. Always getting into trouble, so secretive, so full of deceit. Who would've thought those disgraceful characteristics would be turned into virtues. (What you Leave Behind)

Winn: And stop calling me Adami. that Priviledge is no longer yours
Dukat: How should i address you then?
Winn: from now on, you will address me as 'Eminence.' Is that clear?
Dukat: Perfectly..Eminence (What you leave behind)

Founder: I want the Cardassians exterminated.
Weyoun: Which ones?
Founder: All of them, The entire Population.
Weyoun: That may take some time. (What you Leave Behind)

Garak: all during the years of exile, I imagined what it would be like to come home. I even thought of living in this house again, with Mila. But now she's dead, and this house is about to be reduced to a pile of rubble. My Cardassia is gone.
Someone I don't remember: Then Fight for a new Cardassia.
Garak: I have an even better reason, Commander, Revnege.
That same someone who i don't remember: That work's too. (what you Leave Behind)

Weyoun: Tell me, Where's my old Friend Damar?
Garak: Damar's Dead.
Weyoun: what a Pity.
Garak: He died while trying to free Cardassia.
Weyoun: What's left of it. (What you leave behind)

Garak: I'm going to miss our lunches together.
Bashir: Oh, I'm sure we'll see each other again.
Garak: I'd like to think so, but one can never say. We live in Uncertain Times. (What you Leave behind)

Odo: Nerys, you know my feelings for you will never change, but i have to do this. My people need me, they need to know what i know, to learn what I've learned from living among solids. It's the only way they'll ever learn to trust you. (what you leave behind)

Prophets; You're with us now. (What you leave Behind)

Quark: I knew it. When i saw the two of you slip out, i said to myself, " that no good, misanthropic, cantankerous changling is trying to sneak off the station with out anyone noticing.
Odo: That was the Idea
Quark: We'll it's not going to happen is it?
Odo: Apparently not.

Quark: so now that i'm here is there someting you want to say to me?
Odo: such as?
Quark: such as goodbye, You certanly were a worthy adversary, or maybe something with the words mutual respect in it.
Odo: no.
Quark: No? what do you mean no?
Odo: I mean no. I have nothing I want to say to you
Quark: You're telling me that after all these years, after all we've been through, you're not even going to say goodbye to me?
Odo: that's right (what you leave behind)

I think that that's all that i have which hasn't already been said alredy. Hope you like them

I'am Sorry--I have no vice for you to Exploit (captive pursiut) I remember the Quote, i just can't remeber who said it.

Tosk said to Quark when Quark described his establishment to Tosk.

Some fear you as the symbol of the Federation they view as godless. Some fear you as the Emissary who walked with the prophets. And some fear you becasue Vedek Winn told them to. (In the Hands of the Prophets. I forgot who spoke the line.)

Vedek Bareil said it to Sisko.

Garak: all during the years of exile, I imagined what it would be like to come home. I even thought of living in this house again, with Mila. But now she's dead, and this house is about to be reduced to a pile of rubble. My Cardassia is gone.
Someone I don't remember: Then Fight for a new Cardassia.
Garak: I have an even better reason, Commander, Revenge.
That same someone who i don't remember: That work's too. (what you Leave Behind)


That someone was Kira. The reason Garak referred to her as Commander was because Sisko asked her to wear a Starfleet uniform so as to not upset the Cardassian rebels who had to take orders and instructions from her.


Here are my favorite lines (you left out the two or three you already mentioned, Meg):

The Forsaken
Odo to Lwaxana: "Every 16 hours, I turn into a liquid!"
Lwaxana: "I could swim."

Civil Defense
Quark, reading Odo’s criminal profile of him: " ‘A self-important con artist whose nowhere near as cleaver 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."

Heart of Stone
After Quark complains about the offline replicators, after having failed to heed Rom’s warnings about shutting them down once a week for maintenance:
Nog: "He tried to warn you, uncle Quark. You should’ve listened to him."
Rom: No! It’s my fault. I should’ve explained it better."
Quark: "Of course it’s your fault. Everything that goes wrong here is your fault. It says so in your contract."

Visionary
1. Odo to Sisko, regarding the investigation into who placed a laser beam into a corridor panel that O’Brien saw kill his future self: "Don’t worry. I plan to investigate the Klingons, the Bajorans, Quark, the visiting Tarellians…
Sisko: You think Quark had something to do with this?
Odo (looking surprised): "I always investigate Quark!"

2. Sisko to Odo, after listening to Odo’s detailed, long winded story of how he gradually tracked the jury-rigged transport of the laser into the corridor: "Odo, cut to the chase."
Odo: The three Klingons now on the station, are part of a covert strike force that reports directly to the Klingon High Council."
Sisko: "Why didn’t you just say so?"
Odo: "Well, sometimes, I have to remind you just how good I am."

3. "Oh....Well, who am I to argue with me?" -Bashir to O’Brien, after O’Brien tells him that the Bashir from five hours in the future told him to tell Julian to run a basilar arterial scan on O’Brien. (This episode did have a bunch of great lines, didn’t it? Also noteworthy as a great moment was when Kira told Odo of the Romulans’ suspicion that Odo has feelings for Kira, which made Odo nervous, and caused him to say, "Ridiculous!")

Distant Voices
Bashir to the O’Brien in his mental vision: "You represent my doubt and my disbelief."
O’Brien: "No, I don’t!"

Shakaar
"One of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes, they make the wrong choice." -Odo to Kira, in the beginning of the episode.

The Way of the Warrior
1. Worf: "Curzon’s name is an honored one among my people."
Dax: "Louk, a jeek CHIM-ta law."
Worf: (Somewhat awkwardly)"I suppose so."
Kira: "What did you say to him?"
Dax: "It loses something in the translation."
(Dax actually said, "Yeah, but I’m a lot better looking than he was!")

2. Worf, referring to the good old days when he and O’Brien were
on the Enterprise: "We were like warriors from the ancient sagas.
There was nothing we could not do."
O’Brien: "Except keep the holodecks working right."

3. "How’s a Ferengi supposed to make an honest living in a place
like this?!" -Quark, when the station inhabitants begin to
prepare for imminent invasion by the Klingons.

4. Odo (reading a note by Rom left for Quark, who needs his
disruptor pistol to defend his bar from the Klingons): "Dear
Quark, I used parts of your disruptor to fix the replicators. Will
return them soon. Rom."
Quark: (grabbing the note)"I will kill him!"
Odo: "With what?"

Little Green Men
"How much?" -Worf to Nog, after first appearing disdainful of the young Ferengi’s admittance to Starfleet, now buying an item from his coming of age sale.

Starship Down
"Maybe I should offer them a refund." -The normally humorless Hanok, making a joke to Quark, who pointed out Hanok’s earlier statement that the Karemma don’t sell substandard equipment, after a Jem’Hadar torpedo, which they buy from the Karemma, pierces the Defiant, but turns out to be a dud.

Paradise Lost
"We fight!" -Worf, after the Lakota attacks the Defiant, and O’Brien asks him what they will do.

Accession
"NOW?" -Worf, beginning to panic after Quark tells him Keiko’s going to have another baby, recalling his inexperienced delivery of Molly in the episode Disaster(TNG).

Apocalypse Rising
"This is still your fault." -Kira to Bashir, referring to her carrying Keiko’s child because Bashir was forced to transfer the fetus to her after Keiko was injured, an obvious in-joke reference to the fact that in real life, pregnant actress Nana Visitor (Kira) was carrying actor Alexander Siddig’s (Bashir) child. The two later married in the summer of 1997.

The Ship
"You mean hills, don’t you? They have gently sloping hills in Ireland. No mountains." -Muniz to O’Brien, a possible reference to the film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain, about a group of ego-bruised Irish townsfolk (one of whom was played by Colm Meaney), who scheme to dump dirt on their beloved monument, after an English cartographer (Hugh Grant) determines that it falls short of the required height to be deemed a mountain.

Trials and Tribble-ations
Dulmer: "What was the date of your arrival?"
Sisko: "Stardate 4523.7."
Dulmer: "A hundred and five years, one month, twleve days ago."
Lucsly to Dulmer (as if to clarify Dulmer’s statement): "A Friday."

2. "I’m a doctor, not a historian." -Bashir to O’Brien, after O’Brien expresses surprise that Bashir knows nothing of Kirk’s time period.

Let He Who Is Without Sin…
Jadzia (After Arandis tells Worf she killed Curzon with jamaharon): "Trust me, he died happy."
Arandis: "He was such a sweet old man."
Worf (looking horrified): "I’ll take your word for it." (Worf's expression really makes this line hilarious; the line itself doesn't covey it alone.)

The Begotten
"The center cannot hold." -Quark, quoting William Butler Yeats’ Michael Robartes and the Dancer, from The Second Coming, referring to Odo’s being happy. (By an odd coincidence, the same quote appeared in DC Comics’ The Spectre #51, written by my Writing for the Comics teacher John Ostrander, which was published the exact same week this episode premiered. I guess everyone was going Yeats-happy.) And this from someone who has no love for "hu-mons."

A Simple Investigation
"Tell me more." -Arissa to Odo, after Odo tells her he wants to talk, and then kisses her passionately instead.

Ferengi Love Songs
Ishka: "Don’t you ever think of anyone beside yourself?"
Quark: "Of course I do. I just think of myself first."

Who Mourns for Morn?
"You know Morn. He never shuts up." Quark to Odo, in the teaser.

Treachery, Faith and the Great River
"Of course I’m paranoid. Everyone’s trying to kill me!" -Weyoun 6 to Odo, in the beginning of Act 1.

Tacking Into the Wind
"Kahless said, ‘Great men do not seek power; they have power thrust upon them.’" -Worf to Martok, after Martok tells Worf he does not seek leadership of the Klingon Empire.

What You Leave Behind
"Are you still here?" -Dukat to Winn, after Winn tries to use the book to vanquish Dukat in Act 8, only to have Dukat effortlessly wisk it out of her hands with his powers. (Again, the entirety of the scene is what makes this line so cool. )


By LUIGI NOVI on Monday, July 09, 2001 - 1:24 am:

Sorry, I meant to say I left out the two or three you already mentioned. (Doncha just HATE it when you spot a big mistake like that AFTER you supposedly review the post and hit the "post message" button, and you can't take it back? ARRGH!)


By Meg on Monday, July 09, 2001 - 9:40 am:

it's okay Luigi. we know what you meant.

At least you posts look so much better than Mine. I love the way you format things. It make them look neat, and easier to read.


By Teral on Wednesday, July 11, 2001 - 2:22 pm:

Garak to Tolar in "In the Pale Moonlight" : Why don't you go to your quarters, I will be along shortly to say hello! (Somehow you get the impression that Tolar know exactly what kind of hello Garak will bring, and that he has no way of escaping it)

Garak to the clerk at the resettlement center in "Cardassians": Really, perhaps we have met.
(Garak refuses to fall into the clerks trap and excusing the occupation)

Garak in "Afterimage" : But all I've done is pave the way for their annihilation. I'm a traitor. I've betrayed everything! ( Garak realises on a consciously level the impacts of his actions)

Garak in "In the Pale Moonlight": And the more the Dominion protests its innocence the more the Romulans will believe they are guilty because it is exactly what they would have done in their place.
(Garak explaining the truly beautiful part of his plan)


Okay that was all Garak, so for diversity:

Quark in "Sacrifice of Angels": And now you ruined it.
(Hilarious, bacause these dry, confident snideremarks isn't exactly a Ferengi trait, it's more of a Cardassian trait, and here it's a Cardassian who is at the recieving end (unconscious nonetheless))
