(re: a Cardassian phaser) I guess I won't be needing this then.
S4 E22For the Cause
S4 E23To the Death
Captain Benjamin Sisko. Your psychographic profile is required reading for Vorta Field Supervisors. I probably know things about you that you don't know yourself.
If you're trying to impress me, you can forget it.
What would you say if I offered to make you absolute ruler of the Federation? No President, no Starfleet Chief of Staff, just you.
I'd say your psychographic profile of me isn't as good as you think.
(laughs richly) Just doing my job.
It has come to my attention that Omet'iklan has made a threat against your life.
I didn't think it was public knowledge.
You told Commander Dax.
Well, that explains it.
[Dax is trying to work, but Virak'kara is staring at her]
Am I really that interesting? You've been standing there staring at me for the last two hours.
You are part of my combat team. I must learn to understand your behaviour, anticipate your actions.
There must be something you'd rather do. Maybe get some sleep?
We don't sleep.
How about getting something to eat?
The white is the only thing we need.
Don't sleep, don't eat. What do you do for relaxation?
Relaxation would only make us weak.
You people are no fun at all. I'm glad I'm not a Jem'Hadar woman.
There are no Jem'Hadar women.
So what do you do? Lay eggs?
Jem'Hadar are bred in birthing chambers. We are able to fight within three days of our emergence.
Lucky you. So let me get this straight—no sleep, no food, no women. No wonder you're so angry. After thirty or forty years of that, I'd be angry too.
No Jem'Hadar has ever lived thirty years.
[puzzled] How old are you?
I am eight.
I would have guessed at least fifteen.
Few Jem'Hadar live that long. If we reach twenty, we are considered honored elders. [leans in] How old are you?
I stopped counting at three hundred.
[amazed] You don't look it.
Thank you.
I am First Omet'iklan, and I am dead. As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Jem'Hadar. Remember, victory is life.
Victory is life.
[The Jem'Hadar march out.]
Such a delightful people.
I am Chief Miles Edward O'Brien. I am very much alive and I intend to stay that way.
Amen!
S4 E24The Quickening
[as a jingle for his bar] Come to Quark's, Quark's is fun, come right now, don't walk, run!
[threatening Quark for inserting advertisements for his bar in DS9's systems] If all your little advertisements aren't purged from our systems by the time I get back from the Gamma Quadrant, I will come to Quark's, and believe me, I will have fun.
I was looking forward to tomorrow—to see Kira again, asking, "How was the nebula? And by the way, I cured that blight thing those people had."
It's not a crime to believe in yourself.
These people believed in me, and look where it got them. Trevian was right—there is no cure. The Dominion made sure of that, and I was so arrogant, I thought I could find one in a week!
Maybe it was arrogant to think that. But it's even more arrogant to think that there isn't a cure just because you couldn't find it.
S4 E25Body Parts
[Garak sneaks up behind a holographic 'Quark' and breaks his neck]
How was that?
Awful! [Garak looks offended] Did you hear that sound of bone snapping? I don't want that to be the last thing I hear!
[annoyed] It wasn't that loud.
You don't have these ears. Snapping vertebrae is out.
We're running out of options, Quark. You don't want to be vaporized because you need a body. The disruptor ruined your clothing, the knife was too savage, the nerve gas smelled bad, hanging took too long, and poison... What was wrong with poison?
It doesn't work. If I know the food is poisoned, I won't eat it. [motions to the "corpse"] Could you get rid of this? The sight of it is making me sick.
Computer, remove corpse. [it vanishes] For a man who wants to kill himself, you are strangely determined to live.
I'm going to die; don't you worry about that. I just want to find the right way.
"Right way"?
I don't want to see it coming, or hear it, or feel it, or smell it. I just want to go on with my life, and then... I'm dead.
Ah. You want to be surprised.
Exactly. I want to wake up in the Divine Treasury and have no idea how I got there.
I see. Perhaps that can be arranged.
Really?
You have my word. You'll never know what hit you.
Rule of Acquisition Number 17: “A contract is a contract is a contract. But only between Ferengi.”
I am Gint, the first Grand Nagus!
You look like my brother, Rom.
That's because this is a dream, you imbecile!
A dream. That explains why this place looks so tacky.
Never be afraid to mislabel a product.
[to FCA Liquidator Brunt] Look, I've broken the contract, so do your job. Take my assets, revoke my Ferengi business license. Do whatever you have to do, then get out. And if I ever see you walk into my bar again...
Yes?
You won't walk out.
S4 E26Broken Link
It's funny. I've served on half a dozen different ships and none of them have had cloaking devices except the Defiant. Now that we're not using it, I feel naked.
It is disconcerting, to say the least.
Gentlemen, I feel the same breeze you do.
[Dax smiles]
What are you smiling at?
I don't know. I guess it's just being in the same room as so many naked men.
[after Garak inquires about Cardassian survivors of the attack on the Founders' homeworld]
There were no Cardassian survivors.
[shocked] You mean... they're all dead?
They're dead. You're dead. Cardassia is dead. Your people were doomed the moment they attacked us. I believe that answers your question.
[a beat; Garak smiles politely]
It was a pleasure meeting you.
