It is clear to me that none of you are worthy of my blood or my life, but I will stand for you.
S5 E21Soldiers of the Empire
May glory and honor follow you on your journey.
S5 E22Children of Time
[Worf's young descendant is awestruck by him]
YBYoung boy
Are you the son of Mogh?
Yes.
YBYoung boy
Is it true you can kill someone just by looking at them?
Only when I am angry.
Our enemy is time.
S5 E23Blaze of Glory
Did you catch him?
We caught him. Or rather, Major Kira caught him.
I didn't really do anything. I was in the Bajoran shrine, meditating, and he burst in, stark naked, fell to his knees, crying out to the Prophets for protection!
Morn, of all people. Who would've thought he'd just snap like that?
Certainly not me. Which leads me to wonder, what could have pushed him over the edge? [looks pointedly at Quark]
Why are you looking at me? I'm the victim here! [Odo scoffs] He hit me with a bar stool!
Why did he hit you?
I don't have the faintest idea.
Think harder.
Witnesses say you were talking to him right up until the moment he went berserk.
Of course I was talking to him. That's what bartenders are supposed to do—talk to their customers.
What exactly was it that you were talking to him about?
All I said was that the military personnel on this station were starting to look a little nervous. When they get nervous, I get nervous.
And that's all you said?
Basically. [beat] I might've done some harmless theorizing.
About what?
Oh, something like it was only a matter of time until the Dominion launched a full-scale assault on the Federation, and when that happened, this station would undoubtedly be their first target. [long pause] And I might've idly suggested that there wasn't a chance in hell of any of us getting out of here alive.
And that's when Morn hit you with a bar stool and ran onto the Promenade screaming, "We're all doomed"?
...Some people just don't react well to stress.
[Eddington and Sisko, forced to work together to thwart a Maquis missile attack on Cardassia, get into an argument]
You're the one who made it personal. You could've looked the other way. You could've left the Maquis alone, but you didn't do it. You hunted us, hounded us, fought us every chance you got. And in the end, you set us up for the slaughter. I expected better of you than that. So did a lot of people. People like Cal Hudson. I bet you haven't heard that name in a while.
You're right about that.
He told me the two of your were friends at the Academy.
And a long time after.
Until he joined the Maquis.
He betrayed his oath to Starfleet.
If it makes you feel any better, he paid for his sins. He was killed in a skirmish with the Cardassians.
[sombre] He was a good man.
He felt the same about you. He thought you were wrong about the Maquis, but he forgave you, which is ironic considering you never forgave him. You can't forgive any of us. And not because we betrayed Starfleet or the Federation, but because we betrayed you. That's what this is all about. Your ego. Where Benjamin Sisko leads, all must follow.
[incredulous] Is that what you really believe?
It's the truth, isn't it? The Maquis were never much of a threat to the Federation, but we were a threat to you. We were a stain on your record and you couldn't have that. Not when you were so busy measuring yourself for an admiral's uniform. [an enraged Sisko gets to his feet]
You want to blame me for what happened to the Maquis? Fine. Go ahead, blame me. Blame Starfleet. Blame the Federation. Blame everyone except Michael Eddington.
The Maquis won its greatest victories under my leadership.
[scoffs] Your leadership. Your shining moment of glory. Michael Eddington gets to take off his gold uniform and play hero. That's what you always wanted, to lead troops in a glorious cause. Well, you had your chance and look where you led them. Right into their graves.
They died because I wasn't there when they needed me most, because you put me in jail.
They died because you filled their heads with false hopes! Sold them dreams of a military victory when what they needed was a negotiated peace!
We had the Cardassians on the run!
And they ran right into the arms of the Dominion! End of story.
(Sisko and Eddington are being attacked by Jem'Hadar)
Take this [phaser]. I'll go around—try to draw their fire. Should be able to catch them off-guard when they go after me.
I can barely see two meters in front of me. How will I know what I'm aiming at?
I'll be the one holding the pipe.
(sarcastic) Attacking two Jem’Hadar soldiers with a pipe. That's a brilliant plan.
It could be worse.
I know—it could be me holding the pipe.
Exactly. (runs off with pipe)
(After Eddington shoots a Jem'Hadar about to kill Sisko)
You have sharp eyes.
Not really; I just saw which of you was knocked down first and then I shot the one still standing.
Thank you for your vote of confidence.
(Sisko opens fire on a seemingly empty room, killing two cloaked Jem'Hadar)
I'm glad one of us remembered they can do that.
(Trying to fight off the Jem'Hadar, Eddington is mortally wounded)
Rebecca.
S5 E24Empok Nor
Asking a Ferengi to play a Cardassian game is like asking a Klingon to chew with his mouth closed.
S5 E25In the Cards
We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.
What does that mean exactly?
I haven't done anything wrong, and I won't be hounded by you and your soulless minions of orthodoxy.
Since you are not, in fact, working for the soulless minions of orthodoxy that have hounded my work and plagued my existence, I have decided to open negotiations regarding the sale of a mint condition 1951 Willie Mays rookie card—without the original packaging or chewing gum.
And while the soulless minions of orthodoxy refused to follow up on his important research, I could hear the clarion call of destiny ringing in my ears.
