Lines by Odo 12

Odo

Doctor, most people, in my experience, wouldn’t know reason if it walked up and shook their hand.

Odo

I don’t know where I came from, no idea if there are any others like me. All my life, I’ve been forced to pass myself as one of you, always wondering who I really am.

Odo

I’ll never understand this obsession with accumulating material wealth. You spend your entire life plotting and scheming to acquire more and more possessions until your living areas are bursting with useless junk. Then you die, your relatives sell everything and start the cycle all over again.

Odo

Procreation does not require changing how you smell, or writing bad poetry, or sacrificing various plants to serve as tokens of affection!

Odo

Well, if you won't talk about it, perhaps you should consider doing something about it.

Odo

[To Kira] Well, I was hoping that our relationship would be a long and happy one, but I suppose I'm willing to settle for short and exciting.

Odo

[to Sisko] Interesting, isn't it? The Federation claims to abhor Section 31's tactics. But when they need the dirty work done, they look the other way. It's a tidy little arrangement, wouldn't you say?

It's really quite simple, Quark. You're not going to leave.

Not going to leave? But we're packed and ready to go.

Unpack.

I don't understand, Commander. Why would you want me to stay?

Odo

I'm curious myself. The man is a gambler and a thief.

I'm not a thief.

Odo

You are a thief!

If I am, you haven't been able to prove it for four years.

Commander, I've made a career out of knowing when to leave. And this provisional government is far too provisional for my taste. And when governments fall, people like me are lined up and shot.

There is that risk, but then, you are a gambler, Quark.

Odo

And a thief.

You know, Quark, that poor boy is about to spend the best years of his life in a Bajoran prison. I'm a father myself. I know what your brother must be going through. The boy should be with his family, not in some cold jail cell. Think about it. It's up to you.

[He exits]

Odo

You know, at first, I didn't think I was going to like him.
