TV show quotes
I thought we could have dinner.
And then what?
I don't know; maybe we could go dancing!
And then I suppose you'll want me to kiss you!
It's possible!
Well, then, who needs dinner? Why don't I just kiss you now and get it over with?!
Well, why don't you?!
[He does]
You're right—who needs dinner?
[She kisses him back]
[discussing Kai Winn] In a way, I feel sorry for her. She spends her whole life in service to the Prophets, and then one day, after years of self-sacrifice and commitment, she gets her reward – she's elected Kai. It should've been the greatest moment of her life.
But my being the Emissary spoiled it for her.
The Kai has always been the spiritual leader of Bajor, but Winn has to share that role with you. And to make matters worse, you're an outsider, a non-Bajoran – that's something she can never forgive you for.
I don't even know who you are anymore.
I'm the chief engineer of the starship Valiant.
I'll have them put that on your tombstone.
You gonna write a story about all this?
Probably.
What are you going to say?
What do you think I should say?
That it was a good ship, with a good crew, that made a mistake. We let ourselves blindly follow Captain Watters, and he led us over a cliff.
That's not true. Captain Watters was a great man.
Dorian, he got everyone killed.
If he failed, it was because we failed him.
[to Jake] Put that in your story too. Let people read it, decide for themselves.
[Nog gives her his Red Squad insignia]
He may have been a hero. He may have even been a great man. But in the end, he was a bad captain.
His name is QUARK!
By the way, what does "gung-gung-gung" mean?
[suddenly intrigued] Why do you ask?
It was the strangest thing. When I was taking Yoshi home, he kept shaking his rattle and saying "gung-gung-gung."
[brightening] He did?
He seemed to be getting a kick out of it. What does it mean?
That is between Yoshi and me.
Quark, listen. I'm working on a crime novel, but I've hit a wall in my writing. It's not truthful anymore—phony, artificial. I'm having trouble creating real, flesh-and-blood characters, especially nefarious ones. If you could just let me just watch and listen as you pull off whatever it is you're going to pull off, it could really help me out. You could give me insight. I could even model my lead character after you.
Lesson number one: no one involved in an extralegal activity thinks of themselves as nefarious.
Sorry.
I'm a businessman, okay? Now, if you're interested in learning more about my business, I think that could be arranged.
[Jadzia and Worf have just announced that they are trying to have a baby.]
Well, you two are awfully quiet.
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.
And I'm worried the kid'll end up looking like his father.
[offended] Well, I hope she does. [makes a face and walks off in a huff]
A baby.
It's bad enough she married that Klingon psychopath.
A baby. Do you have any idea what that means?
That their marriage is gonna last. A lot longer than we thought.
[Odo and Kira have just patched up their first argument as a couple.]
You know, Nerys, observing humanoid relationships and being in one... are very different things.
Like night and day.
Pagh-Wraiths and Prophets? All this talk of gods strikes me as nothing more than superstitious nonsense.
You believe that the Founders are gods, don't you?
That's different.
[laughs] In what way?
The Founders are gods.
[gently speaking to an unconscious Jadzia] I know this is small comfort, but I never intended you any harm.
[weakly] I'm... I'm sorry.
Save your strength.
Our baby... would've been so beautiful.
[Jadzia dies. Worf howls in rage and to warn the afterlife that a Klingon warrior has arrived.]
* Jadzia Dax's final words in the series.
Nerys. I realize that things may seem bleak at the moment. But there's always hope.
When did you turn into an optimist?
Must have been that day in front of Quark's when we kissed for the first time.
That was some kiss, wasn't it?
Changed my life.
Tell me, Damar. When you're alone, do you even bother with a glass, or do you just drink that swill (kanar) directly from the bottle?
Depends on my mood.
Life is full of choices. You make them and hope for the best. Sometimes you're right. Sometimes you're not.
