TV show quotes
So, what do you plan on doing for the next couple of hours?
I hadn't given it much thought.
Maybe now would be a good time to contact your father.
Maybe.
Benjamin, you haven't spoken to him for months. And Jake is his grandson.
How do I explain that I evacuated every Federation citizen off Deep Space Nine except his grandson?
You'll think of something. You always do.
Are things really as bad as the news services say?
Maybe worse.
Well, you certainly know how to comfort a frightened old man.
You didn't raise me to be a liar.
I raised you to be a chef, for all the good it did me.
You know, there's something I just don't understand. You're always telling me that space is big, that it's an endless frontier, filled with infinite wonders.
It's true.
Well, if that's the case, you would think it would be more than enough room to allow people to leave each other alone.
[sighs] It just doesn't work that way. It should, but it doesn't.
[The crew stand on the shore of a desolate planet, in enemy territory, and watch as their wrecked ship sinks below the water].
Oh, no.
What?
I don't believe it!
What?
I tore my pants.
[Laughing] You tore your pants?
Yeah, I tore my pants. [Laughing] I guess, I guess I'm really in trouble now, huh?
You can walk in front of me, or beside me, but I won't turn my back on you again.
Cadet, there may be hope for you yet.
I assume you've brought along one of those famed Starfleet engineers who can turn rocks into replicators.
(as he is preparing for surgery on Keevan, several Jem'Hadar soldiers gather around) I'm not going to hurt him.
They're not here to protect me. They've just never seen what the inside of a Vorta looks like.
And when they've reached this point, we'll have them in a crossfire.
They won't have a chance.
That is the point. In case you've forgotten, we're in a war.
There are rules, Garak, even in a war.
Correction. Humans have rules in war. Rules that tend to make victory a little harder to achieve, in my opinion.
So we just shoot them down?
They wouldn't hesitate if the situation was reversed.
But we're not the Jem'Hadar. It is our duty to—
This isn't a vote. The decision's mine. And Mister Garak is right. We are at war. Given the choice between us or them, there is no choice. Let's move out.
I have my orders.
Keevan doesn't deserve the unwavering loyalty you're giving him.
He does not have to earn my loyalty, Captain. He has had it from the moment I was conceived. I am a Jem'Hadar. He is a Vorta. It is the order of things.
Do you really want to give up your life for the order of things?
It is not my life to give up, Captain. And it never was.
I tell you, Worf, war is much more fun when you are winning. Defeat makes my wounds ache.
You see. They (the crew) have accepted him.
They have accepted him (Alexander) as the ship's fool.
Do you ask this of every crew member?
I do not need to ask them. I look into their eyes and I know they have answered the call of Kahless.
Well, so have I.
Lie to yourself if you must, but not to me.
We will fight, and we will keep on fighting, until we can't fight anymore!
[drunk and miserable] I tried. I tried my best to run my establishment under this occupation. But you know what? It's no fun. I don't like Cardassians. They're mean and arrogant. And I can't stand the Jem'Hadar. They're creepy. They just stand there like statues, staring at you. That's it. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing business with these people. I want the Federation back! I want to sell root beer again!
Are you two ever gonna be finished?
Just a few more minutes, Commander.
That's 'Captain'. It's an old naval tradition. Whoever's in command of a ship, regardless of rank, is referred to as 'Captain.'
You mean if I had to take command, I would be called 'Captain,' too?
Cadet, by the time you took command, there'd be nobody left to call you anything.
