Deep Space Nine quotes

Bashir

Sarina. Talk to me… please. I know you can. What’s wrong? Is it me? If it is, don’t be afraid. I’m going to do whatever it takes to make it right… because I love you. I want us to be together. Tell me. Do you love me?

I don’t know. I don’t even understand what love is. I don’t understand anything.

Bashir

Sarina—

What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to feel? Tell me. I want to make you happy. I owe you everything.

Bashir

Shh. You don’t owe me. You don’t owe me anything.

I’m sorry. I wish I could be the woman you want me to be.

Bashir

Shh.

Bashir

How could I have been so blind? What was I thinking, trying to move things along so fast? She needed time. I didn’t give it to her. I came this close to driving her back inside herself. I’m supposed to be a doctor. I’m supposed to put my patient’s needs above my own.

Miles O’Brien

You didn’t want to be lonely anymore. Nobody does.

O'Brien

But remember—be discreet.

Nog

Rule of Acquisition 168: "Whisper your way to success."

Kira Nerys

[to Odo] I know to Starfleet the Prophets are nothing more than wormhole aliens, but to me, they're gods. I can't prove it. Then, again, I don't have to because my faith in them is enough. Just as Weyoun's faith in you was enough for him.

Odo

Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you believe the Founders are gods is because that's what they want you to believe? That they built it into your genetic code?

Weyoun

Of course they did; that's what gods do. After all, why be a god if there's no one to worship you?

Odo

You still haven't answered my question. Why did you decide to defect?

Weyoun

I realize my place is with you.

Odo

You can do better than that.

Weyoun

Then let's just say I left Cardassia because my life was in danger.

Odo

From whom?

Weyoun

Everyone.

Odo

Aren't you being a little paranoid?

Weyoun

Of course I'm paranoid—everyone's trying to kill me.

Miles O'Brien

How could he do this to me? How could he leave me adrift, mid-river, without a paddle?

Rom

What river would that be?

Miles O'Brien

You know, the Great Material Continuum.

Rom

That river. It can be very treacherous.

Miles O'Brien

Tell me about it. Well, I suppose the good news is with Nog gone, nothing else can go missing.

Martok

Where is my case of bloodwine?!

Worf

I do not know, General, but I promise you I will find out.

Weyoun

"We become the ice". Only a god could think of such a thing.

Odo

Well, let's just hope the Jem'Hadar give up their search before we freeze to death.

Weyoun

My faith will keep me warm.

Odo

Perhaps. But in an hour, you may want to trade in that faith for a thermal blanket.

Kor

Help me, Worf. Help me end my life as I've lived it—as a warrior.

Kor

Savor the fruit of life, my young friends. It has a sweet taste when it is fresh from the vines. But don’t live too long: the taste turns bitter.

Martok

[on Kor] I've hated his name for almost thirty years. I've dreamed of the day when I would see him stripped of his rank and privilege, left without honor or a friend, or the power of his birthright. And I've had that moment now... and I took no joy from it.

[talking to a depressed Kor] We are being pursued by a Jem'Hadar fleet. Worf believes he can stop them with a single ship.

Kor

[intrigued] How? [Darok hands him a PADD with the details]

It's a good plan, but it has one flaw. It depends entirely on Worf successfully engaging the whole enemy fleet, if only for a short time.

Kor

It can be done; the key would be to confuse their sensors in the opening moments with a spread of torpedoes.

Perhaps, but it would take a warrior with three times the experience to accomplish such a feat. And such a man would have to be certain of his abilities.

Kor

[reinvigorated] Such a man would not take the job… unless he were certain. [Recognizing what Kor intends to do, Darok bows respectfully to him]

It has been an honour serving with you, Kor, son of Rynar.

Kor

(as Worf is departing to lead a suicide mission) I came to wish you well. I look forward to seeing you at the gates to Sto-Vo-Kor.

Worf

As do I.

Kor

Do you have any message you would like me to convey to Jadzia?

Kor

When I reach the halls of the hallowed dead, I will find your beloved, and remind her that her husband is a noble warrior, and that he still loves no one but her. Goodbye, my friend. Live well.

Kor

(as he is beamed away) Long live the Empire!

He's done it. The Jem'Hadar are out of time. They can no longer overtake us before we reach the Defiant.

Martok

How? How did that pompous old man hold off an entire Jem'Hadar fleet with only one ship?

Worf

Does it matter?

Martok

Darok, give me that bottle! [seizes a bottle of bloodwine from one of his subordinates and knocks the top off it with his dagger] To Kor! The Dahar Master, and noble warrior to the end!
