I haven't met Worf's son yet. What's he like?
Well, he's a fine boy—dedicated, eager. He has the heart of his father. But he's not the best soldier I've ever seen.
[cut to Alexander telling a story in Quark's]
ARAlexander Rozhenko
—but when he ordered me to bring the system back on line, I thought he was still talking about the hydrostatic system, so—
You didn't engage the pumps while the check valves were open?
WorfHe did.
AAlexander
I flooded the entire deck with superheated hydraulic fluid. It took me three days to clean up! But I swear, it still smells like burned dog hair in there.
[At Deep Space 9, after Worf aborts the mission to rescue a Dominion defector to get Jadzia medical treatment]
Worf
She is still in surgery, but Doctor Bashir is hopeful she will make a full recovery.
Lasaran's dead. Starfleet Intelligence intercepted a transmission saying that he'd been killed trying to re-enter the base at Soukara. Could you have made the rendezvous?
Worf
Yes.
Yet you turned back to save Jadzia?
Worf
Yes.
Were you aware that the information that man had could have saved millions of lives?
Worf
Yes.
Worf
You may not understand.
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 created them. I have 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.
As your captain, it is my duty to tell you that you made the wrong choice. I don't think Starfleet will file any formal charges. Even a secret court martial would run the risk of revealing too much about their intelligence operations. But this will go into your service record, and to be completely honest, you probably won't be offered a command on your own after this.
Worf
I understand.
I have also issued new orders. You and Jadzia are not to be assigned to a mission on your own ever again. And 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.
By the way, what does "gung-gung-gung" mean?
Worf
[suddenly intrigued] Why do you ask?
It was the strangest thing. When I was taking Yoshi home, he kept shaking his rattle and saying "gung-gung-gung."
Worf
[brightening] He did?
He seemed to be getting a kick out of it. What does it mean?
Worf
That is between Yoshi and me.
[weakly] I'm... I'm sorry.
Worf
Save your strength.
Our baby... would've been so beautiful.
[Jadzia dies. Worf howls in rage and to warn the afterlife that a Klingon warrior has arrived.]
* Jadzia Dax's final words in the series.
[Odo declares that Worf has struck out]
Worf
WHAT?! What are you talking about?! That ball was at least half a metre out! How could you call it a strike?! REVERSE THE CALL! REVERSE THE CALL!
[rushes over] Are you blind?! That was low and outside!
Worf
The ball was clearly outside!
What the hell were you looking at?! You can't tell me that ball was over the plate! What were you doing—REGENERATING?!
[calmly] Caught the outside corner.
[Worf and Sisko continue to protest over each other]
Worf
THE OUTSIDE CORNER?! THE CORNER OF THE DUGOUT, PERHAPS! MAYBE THE CORNER OF THE STADIUM! BUT NOT THE CORNER OF THE PLATE!
THE CORNER, MY FOOT! THAT WAS A BALL, AND YOU KNOW IT! WE SHOULD HAVE TWO MEN ON! TWO MEN ON! TWO MEN ON!
Gentlemen, you are trying my patience.
You stole the run from us! You stole it, just as if you reached up and tore it off the score board!
[Begins poking Odo in the chest]
“No player shall at anytime make contact with the umpire in any manner. The prescribed penalty for the violation is immediate ejection from the game.” Rule number 4.06, subsection A, paragraph four. Look it up, but do it in the stands. YOU'RE GONE!
[Sisko walks off]
[Muttering to himself] It was a ball. It was no strike. I know it was a ball.
I think that means you're in charge now.
You're right. [To the team] What are you standing around for? You never seen a man thrown out of a game?
How could he do this to me? How could he leave me adrift, mid-river, without a paddle?
What river would that be?
You know, the Great Material Continuum.
That river. It can be very treacherous.
Tell me about it. Well, I suppose the good news is with Nog gone, nothing else can go missing.
[in a cargo bay, General Martok knocks over a crate]
Where is my case of bloodwine?!
Worf
I do not know, General, but I promise you I will find out.
(as Worf is departing to lead a suicide mission) I came to wish you well. I look forward to seeing you at the gates to Sto-Vo-Kor.
Worf
As do I.
Do you have any message you would like me to convey to Jadzia?
[He presses a hypospray to Worf's neck, knocking him unconscious.]
When I reach the halls of the hallowed dead, I will find your beloved, and remind her that her husband is a noble warrior, and that he still loves no one but her. Goodbye, my friend. Live well.
(Kor's ship has saved the rest of the Klingon Fleet)
KKolana
He's done it. The Jem'Hadar are out of time. They can no longer overtake us before we reach the Defiant.
How? How did that pompous old man hold off an entire Jem'Hadar fleet with only one ship?
Worf
Does it matter?
Darok, give me that bottle! [seizes a bottle of bloodwine from one of his subordinates and knocks the top off it with his dagger] To Kor! The Dahar Master, and noble warrior to the end!
[Worf has just killed Weyoun Seven. Damar checks for a pulse and, after confirming Weyoun is dead, bursts into laughter]
[to Weyoun Seven's corpse] Overconfidence... the hallmark of the Weyouns. Maybe the Founders should eliminate that from your genetic recipe next time! [to Worf] They'll just make another copy of him, you know. You should have killed me; there's only one Damar.
Worf
I will keep that in mind.
