[Bashir has shot Garak, who is lightly bleeding from his neck]
You'll be fine. It's just a flesh wound.
That was awfully close. What if you'd killed me?
What makes you think I wasn't trying?
[Brightening] Doctor, I believe there's hope for you yet.
S4 E10Our Man Bashir
CCaprice
Thank you, Mister— Mister—
Bashir. Julian Bashir.
[They kiss]
Is that your plan?
Shut up!
Baccarat and geology are my life.
NNoah (holographic Sisko)
If you think you are gonna destroy my keyboard, you are wasting your time!
FFlacon (holographic O'Brien)
It's working just as you planned! You've done it, doctor."
NNoah (holographic Sisko)
"Yes. But somehow, I didn't expect to win."
S4 E11Homefront
I'm not sleeping. I was checking my eyelids for holes.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, Constable... but there are times when I wish you'd never found your people.
Believe me, Captain, sometimes I feel the same way.
[In Ops, the DS9 crew discuss the strange activity of the wormhole]
When was the last time the wormhole opened?
Twelve hours ago.
Perhaps it has returned to normal?
I suppose so.
You sound disappointed, Major.
I guess I am. Part of me was hoping that the Prophets were behind it, that they were finally going to show themselves to the Bajoran people.
I prefer Klingon beliefs.
I suppose your gods aren't as cryptic as ours.
Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth. [Kira and O'Brien exchange looks]
I don't think I'll ever understand Klingons.
Don't worry about it, Major. Nobody does. That's the way they like it.
You probably wouldn't understand this, Quark, but when you care about a place and it's in trouble and you want to do something about it, and you can't, it's very frustrating.
I know exactly what you mean! When the Great Monetary Collapse hit Ferenginar, I was hundreds of light-years away serving as a ship's cook on a long-haul freighter. I can't tell you the heartbreak I suffered, knowing that rampant inflation and currency devaluation were burning like wildfires through the lush financial foliage of my home. It still depresses me, even today. I remembered thinking my accounts needed me and there was nothing I could do! I felt so... so helpless. So you see, I do understand.
Somehow, you telling me that doesn't make me feel the least bit better.
I've got a dermal regenerator under the...(Joseph notices Sisko staring at the blood, and realises what he's wondering about) Benjamin Lafayette Sisko! What the hell has gotten into your head? You actually thought I was one of them, didn't you?
Sisko (desperate, upset): I don't know. I wasn't sure.
This business has got you so twisted around you can't think straight. You're seeing shape-shifters everywhere. Maybe you ought to think about something for a minute. If I was a smart shape-shifter, a really good one, the first thing I would do would be to grab some poor soul off the street, absorb every ounce of his blood, and let it out on cue whenever someone like you tried to test me. Don't you see? There isn't a test that's been created a smart man can't find his way around. You aren't going to catch shape-shifters using some gadget.
FPFederation President Jaresh-Inyo
Earth is in your hands, gentlemen. Do what needs to be done.
S4 E12Paradise Lost
There comes a time in every man’s life when he must stop thinking and start doing.
I'm sorry, Captain, the names of Red Squad members are supposed to be secret.
But you know who they are?
Hee-hee. It's not easy keeping secrets from a Ferengi, and I feel funny telling anyone else. Besides, if they found out I told you, I'd never get in.
Cadet, you are obviously under the mistaken impression that I am asking a favor. [increasingly hostile voice] I want a name and I want it now and that is an order. Understood, Mr. Nog?
Yes, sir.
[Sisko interrogating a Cadet]
CSCadet Shepherd
...and our role would go unrecognized, at least for now.
Maybe if you had done your job right it would have. But you fouled it up, didn't you? You cadets did some sloppy work—some damn sloppy work.
[Sisko enters Leyton's office pointing a phaser at him]
ALAdmiral Leyton
Are you planning on using that?
Against a fellow officer? I hope not. [Takes off Leyton's combadge] But I will have to ask for your resignation.
ALAdmiral Leyton
You'll forgive me if I don't leap at the opportunity.
I have enough evidence to convict you of treason. We have Lieutenant Arriaga in custody on the Defiant, and he is ready to admit that under your orders, he attached a subspace modulator to the relay satellite on the far side of the wormhole. That's why it was opening and closing at random.
ALAdmiral Leyton
Why would anyone want to do that?
To make it look like a cloaked Dominion fleet was coming through the wormhole. That way, when Earth's power relays were sabotaged, people would think that an invasion was imminent.
ALAdmiral Leyton
That's a very interesting theory, but it's not going to do you much good. Lieutenant Arriaga isn't going to get to Earth. I've sent the Lakota to intercept the Defiant.
You really think one Starfleet starship will fire on another?
ALAdmiral Leyton
As far as Benteen's crew is concerned, the Defiant isn't a Starfleet ship. They've been told that everyone on the Defiant 's been replaced by Shapeshifters.
