Jadzia Dax quotes from Deep Space Nine

Jadzia Dax

It's never a good day to lose a friend.

Jadzia Dax

If you want to know who you are, it's important to know who you've been.

Jadzia Dax

I think we've solved the mystery of our young visitor, Benjamin. He's a Jem'Hadar.

Jadzia Dax

[after punching out Bareil] Sorry, Benjamin. He was just beginning to annoy me.

Jadzia Dax

Just sit comfortably and release your tension into my hands.

Julian Bashir

Your hands—they're cold.

Jadzia Dax

It's a peculiarity of the Trill.

Julian Bashir

Cold hands, warm heart.

Jadzia Dax

Concentrate on the sphere. Clear your mind. This requires focus and clarity of thought.

Julian Bashir

I understand completely. What is that exotic scent you're wearing?

Jadzia Dax

Focus and clarity of thought.

Jadzia Dax

I forgot how different it was.

Kira Nerys

How different what was?

Jadzia Dax

Being female. I haven't been one for over eighty years. All this attention...

Kira Nerys

I imagine it must take some getting used to.

Jadzia Dax

Actually, I find it quite enjoyable.

Benjamin Sisko

Major, I gave you a direct order.

Kira Nerys

Court-martial me.

Benjamin Sisko

I can't. You're not in Starfleet.

Jadzia Dax

If I were your superior officer, I'd court-martial both of you.

Julian Bashir

She has a sense of humor, as I've always imagined you do.

Jadzia Dax

I could use one about now.

Jadzia Dax

Without navigational sensors—

Kira Nerys

We'll have to fly by the seat of our pants.

Jadzia Dax

Great! Seat-of-pants technology.

Kira Nerys

You Starfleet types are too dependent on gadgets and gizmos. You lose your natural instincts for survival.

Jadzia Dax

My natural instincts for survival told me not to climb aboard this thing. I'd say they're functioning pretty well.

Jadzia Dax

[scared by a crawling animal] Oh! Whoa! What's that?! Is that a spider or a dog?

Kira Nerys

Palucko. The Bajoran moons are full of them.

Jadzia Dax

Oh. I suppose you used to make them your pets, and sing songs about them ‘round the campfire.

Kira Nerys

No. We used to eat 'em.

Jadzia Dax

I've been a mother three times and a father twice.

Benjamin Sisko

Which was easier?

Jadzia Dax

Actually, I wasn't very successful either way.

Jadzia Dax

Kang and Koloth don't want me to come with you.

Kor

Well, Kang thinks too much. Koloth doesn't feel enough.

And where do you stand?

Kor

[distracted] Huh? Hmm? Oh, of course you should come. The splendor of fighting and killing, a blood bath in the cause of vengeance. Who wouldn't want to come?

Julian Bashir

Well, I guess this means the end of our Starfleet careers.

Well, I wouldn't worry about that, Doctor.

Jadzia Dax

That's easy for you to say.

Oh, you misunderstand me, Lieutenant. All I meant was, it's a little foolish to worry about your careers at a time like this, when there's a good chance we're all about to be killed.

Jadzia Dax

And as the 34th Rule of Acquisition states: "Peace is good for business."

Quark

That's the 35th Rule.

Jadzia Dax

Oh, you're right. What's the 34th?

Quark

"War is good for business." It's easy to get them confused.

Benjamin Sisko

[discussing Curzon Dax] Let me tell you something about Curzon. He was my friend, he was my confidant, in a way he was my teacher as well. But he was also manipulative, selfish, and arrogant. Most people let him get away with it because he was so charming. Sometimes I let him get away with it too. But from time to time, he'd push me too far, and I'd have to stand up to him. Tell him he'd crossed the line.

Jadzia Dax

And how would he react?

Benjamin Sisko

Sometimes he'd just laugh and admit it. Sometimes he'd be furious. But either way, he'd back off because he knew he was wrong.
