Now, wait a minute! I paid good money for that wreckage and [Sisko gives him a baleful look]...now it's yours. Enjoy.
S3 E6The Abandoned
I think we've solved the mystery of our young visitor, Benjamin. He's a Jem'Hadar.
[discussing the Jem'Hadar youth] I still don't understand why they would engineer someone to be addicted to a certain chemical.
I suspect it's another way of ensuring the loyalty of the Jem'Hadar to the Founders. If your soldiers are addicted to a drug that can't be replicated and only you can provide, that gives you a great deal of control over them.
Seems a pretty cold-blooded thing to do.
My people don't have blood, chief.
[referring to the Jem'Hadar youth] How long do you think you're going to be able to control him?
I'm not trying to control anybody. I'm just trying to give him some choices other than becoming a laboratory specimen or a Jem'Hadar soldier.
I never thought I would say this to you, Odo, but you are listening to your heart, not your head. That boy was created in a laboratory! His body, his mind, his instincts, are all designed to do one thing; to kill.
My body, mind, and instincts were designed to be a Founder. You were trained to be a terrorist. But each of us chose to be something different. I just want to give him the same chance we've had!
All right. Give him a chance. Just don't forget: he is a Jem'Hadar. He's dangerous.
I'm well aware of the risk, Major.
I hope so."
S3 E7Civil Defense
I should have listened to my father. He always warned me this would happen.
[scoffs] What, that you'd spend your final hours in jail? I could have told you that.
No, he warned me never to leave home. There were plenty of business opportunities right outside my door, but no! I had to listen to the Seventy-Fifth Rule of Acquisition: “Home is where the heart is, but the stars are made of latinum.” A lifetime of plotting and scheming, wheeling and dealing, and what has it got me? One measly little bar. My uncle Frin owns thirty, and my cousin Gaila-
I know. [sarcastically] "He owns a moon!"
I told you that?
Many times.
It's a small moon, but big enough to live on.
Come on, Quark. You've done alright for yourself.
"What do you know about it?
Quark, I've met a lot of Ferengis in my time, and the truth is, while some of them have been more wealthy, I've never met one more devious."
Really?
Would I lie?
I guess not. Thank you, Odo. That means a lot to me. Now, can I have the phaser back?
No.
"Why go to so much trouble to keep people out of the security office?"
"It's not to keep people out, it's to keep me in. I suppose, during the Occupation, the Cardassians considered their security chief a security risk."
"And I know why."
"Oh, do you?"
"It's because they knew you were an honorable man. The kind of person who would do the right thing regardless of the circumstances. And now your integrity… is going to get us both killed. I hope you're happy."
[Dukat has accidentally activated an old recording left by his former commanding officer]
LKLegate Kell
Dukat! If you are seeing this recording, it means you tried to abandon your post while the station's self-destruct sequence was engaged. That will not be permitted.
(flustered) This is outrageous!
LKLegate Kell
You have lost control of Terok Nor, disgracing yourself and Cardassia. Your attempt to escape is no doubt a final act of cowardice. All fail-safes have been eliminated. Your personal access codes have been rescinded. The destruct sequence can no longer be halted. All you can do now is contemplate the depth of your disgrace... and try to die like a Cardassian.
S3 E8Meridian
[threatening Quark] Let me put it another way. If I ever catch you pointing a holo-imager at me again, you will end up eating it.
S3 E9Defiant
...but someone has to pay for what's happened here, and I don't want that someone to be me.
TRThomas Riker
[saying the same thing William T. Riker will say about the Defiant in Star Trek: First Contact] Tough little ship.
Today is his eleventh birthday. I'd promised to take him to the amusement center in Lakarian City. He always wanted to go but I never have the time. I told him, this year will be different this year, Mekor. This year I will make the time.
I've had the same experience with Jake. At that age they never understand, do they? You just hope that one day they'll look back and say, “Now I understand, now I know why he did that.”
When my son looks back on this day, the only thing he'll remember is that a Federation officer on a Federation ship invaded his home and kept his father away from him on his eleventh birthday. And he won't look back with understanding, he'll look back with hatred. And that's sad.
S3 E10Fascination
[after punching out Bareil] Sorry, Benjamin. He was just beginning to annoy me.
Dad, you promised Nerys would be here!
She will be. And stop calling her “Nerys”.
Zanthi Fever?!? Oh, that— that's ridicu- that's impossible. That only affects older Betazoids.
Well, that may be, but according to my tests, you show all the symptoms. Zanthi Fever is a virus which affects the empathic abilities of um... mature Betazoids. It causes them to project their emotions onto others.
Then Mrs. Troi's amorous feelings for— [knowing smile] someone on the station were being passed along to the people around her.
Not everyone, only those within close proximity to her when she had an attack; and even then, there would have had to have been some pre-existing latent attraction.
[concerned] You're saying Dax—
Only on a subconscious level. Best not think about it too much, if you ask me.
I'm terribly sorry, Commander. I hope I haven't caused too much trouble.
I'm sure no permanent harm was done. Right, Doctor?
A simple wide-spectrum anti-viral agent should cure Mrs. Troi, and as for everyone else, well, they'll be back to normal in a day or two. Excuse me. [to Sisko] I promised Nerys that I'd meet her in her quarters this evening.
[stopping him] I think you ought to postpone that visit... for a day or two.
[disappointed sigh]
[Infatuated with Keiko]
My ears tingle at the sight of you.
