Jadzia Dax quotes from Deep Space Nine

Jadzia Dax

So, what do you plan on doing for the next couple of hours?

Benjamin Sisko

I hadn't given it much thought.

Jadzia Dax

Maybe now would be a good time to contact your father.

Benjamin Sisko

Maybe.

Jadzia Dax

Benjamin, you haven't spoken to him for months. And Jake is his grandson.

Benjamin Sisko

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

Jadzia Dax

You'll think of something. You always do.

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.

Benjamin Sisko

I haven't met Worf's son yet. What's he like?

Martok

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.

—but when he ordered me to bring the system back on line, I thought he was still talking about the hydrostatic system, so—

Jadzia Dax

You didn't engage the pumps while the check valves were open?

Worf

He did.

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.

Sisko

Sometimes life seems so complicated; nothing is truly good or truly evil. Everything seems to be a shade of grey. And then you spend some time with a man like Dukat, and you realize that there is such a thing as truly evil.

Jadzia Dax

To realize that is one thing. To do something about it is another. So what are you going to do?

Sisko

I'll tell you what I'm not going to do. I'm not going to let him destroy Bajor. I fear no evil. From now on, it's him or me.

Julian Bashir

This conduit’s filthy, Chief. Don’t you ever clean up in here?

Jadzia Dax

All right, all right. Let’s not badger the Chief.

Miles O’Brien

Thank you!

Julian Bashir

I’m sorry. It was very small of me.

Worf

"This is the story of a little ship that took a little trip." What do you think?

Jadzia Dax

[struggling] It’s, uh... well, it rhymes. [grabs the padd from him] There’s nothing on this padd!

Worf

I have a sense of humor. On the Enterprise, I was considered to be quite amusing.

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.

A Klingon. Why did they have to send a Klingon?

Jadzia Dax

I'm a Trill. Does that make you feel any better?

Are you trying to be funny?

Jadzia Dax

Not at all. [nods to Worf] He's the funny one.

Worf

Your problem is that you can't accept change.

Jadzia Dax

I can't accept change?

Worf

That's right.

Jadzia Dax

You've got to be kidding. I've changed bodies six times!

Jadzia Dax

By the way, what does "gung-gung-gung" mean?

Worf

[suddenly intrigued] Why do you ask?

Jadzia Dax

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?

Jadzia Dax

He seemed to be getting a kick out of it. What does it mean?

Worf

That is between Yoshi and me.

Jadzia Dax

Well, you two are awfully quiet.

Julian Bashir

Uh, look, um, I don't want to dampen your spirits, Jadzia, but I told you before you were married that, from a medical point-of-view, it wouldn't be easy for a Trill and a Klingon to have a child.

Quark

And I'm worried the kid'll end up looking like his father.

Jadzia

[offended] Well, I hope she does. [makes a face and walks off in a huff]

Bashir

A baby.

Quark

It's bad enough she married that Klingon psychopath.

Bashir

A baby. Do you have any idea what that means?

Quark

That their marriage is gonna last. A lot longer than we thought.

Jadzia

[weakly] I'm... I'm sorry.

Worf

Save your strength.

Jadzia

Our baby... would've been so beautiful.
