"I won't preside over the demise of Ferengi civilization! ... The line has to be drawn here! This far, and no further!" - Quark

"The way I see it, hew-mons used to be a lot like Ferengi: greedy, acquisitive, interested only in profit. We're a constant reminder of a part of your past you'd like to forget. .... But you're overlooking something: Hew-mons used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi. Slavery. Concentration camps. Interstellar wars. We have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We're nothing like you. We're better. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lock to pick." - Quark

Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes."

Quark

- Kasidy, Leeta, and Worf, responding to Benjamin Sisko's instruction

From the same episode (take me out to the holosuite):

"Which is why when their captain challenged us to a contest of courage, teamwork and sacrifice, I accepted on your behalf."

"We will destroy them."

Another gem:

"They just... chewed it?"

"No, they infused the gum with flavor."

"What flavor did you infuse it with?"

"Scotch."

- Julian Bashir and Miles O'Brien, about chewing gum

"I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all is... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing: a guilty concious is a small price to pay for the safety of the entire Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.

Computer, erase that entire personal log."

-Sisko

Julian Bashir: And so they exiled you.

Elim Garak: That's right! And left me to live out my days with nothing to look
forward to but having lunch with you.

Julian Bashir: I'm sorry you feel that way. I thought you enjoyed my company.

Elim Garak: Oh, I did! And that's the worst part. I can't believe that I actually 
enjoyed eating mediocre food and staring into your smug sanctimonious face

                                   MARRITZA
        What lies?  You mean my failure to 
        divulge my true identity?  Believe 
        me, I yearned to tell you.  But I 
        knew how much more satisfying it 
        would be for you to find out for 
        yourself.  And believe me, Major; 
        that was my only deception.  Marritza?  
        He was a magnificent file clerk.  
        And I, Gul Darhe'el?  I hope you 
        won't think it immodest of me when I 
        say that I was a magnificent leader.  
        You never saw Gallitep at its 
        height.  As a labor camp, it was the 
        very model of order and efficiency.  
        And why?  For that, you must look to 
        the top.  To me!

He holds out his hands to Kira -- palms up.

                MARRITZA
        My word, my merest glance, was law.  
        And my verdict was always the same: 
        Guilty.

And he closes his fists -- with gusto.

                KIRA
        You're insane.

                MARRITZA
        No, no, no, Major... I'm sorry, but 
        you can't dismiss me that easily.  I 
        did what needed to be done.

       DEEP SPACE: "Duet" - REV. 03/31/93 - ACT THREE           31.

35 CONTINUED: (3)

                MARRITZA
        My men understood that... which is 
        why they loved me.  I'd order them 
        to go out and murder Bajoran scum, 
        and they would do it... They'd come 
        back covered in blood... and still 
        feel clean.  Yes, Major... clean.  
        And why did they feel that way?... 
        Because they were clean!

                KIRA
            (gotcha)
        So then you admit your atrocities.

On hearing that, Marritza rises to his fullest height -- 
puffs to his most expansive, blustering self, with:

                MARRITZA
        I admit everything.  Why not?  I was 
        the best at what I did.  My 
        accomplishments speak for themselves.  
        Can you say the same?
            (contemptuously)
        You and that little Shakaar resistance 
        cell you belonged to.  You did nothing 
        but annoy Cardassians, while I was 
        busy exterminating Bajorans.

                KIRA
            (quietly; calm)
        Make sure you tell that to the 
        tribunal.

                MARRITZA
        Oh, I will.

                KIRA
        And they'll sentence you to death.

                MARRITZA
        Let them.  Don't you see; it'll change 
        nothing!  Kill me.  Torture me... it 
        doesn't matter.  You've already lost, 
        Major.  You can never undo what I've 
        accomplished.  The dead will still 
        be dead!

"Father, you're dying. For once in your life, speak the truth." A shiver went down my spine. It was like a window opening. Suddenly so much of Garak's character made sense to me, that remains one of the most powerful moments of the series for me.

Rom (on Brunt): He's also a very good cook. These fried tube grubs are DEEEEE-licious.

Quark: You'd better hope he didn't poison them.

Rom (temporarily mortified, then smug): Maybe in our universe he'd do something like that, but not over here. Over here everything is alternate... so he's a nice guy. Which means the tube grubs here should be poisonous, because they're not poisonous on our sides. But if Brunt gave us poisonous tube grubs, it would mean he's not nice - but he has to be nice, because on our side he isn't.

Quark: Rom, you're driving me crazy.

Rom: It's not me brother, it's this alternate universe. It just doesn't make any sense!

Brunt: More tube grubs?

Rom: Yes please. No. YEEEEEESS!

One of my favourite Worfisms:

Worf comes in carrying a large box.

DAX: What's that?

WORF: It may have been the Vorta's computer console. I found it in one of the upper compartments, but the power grid is off-line in that section of the ship...

DAX: (smiling) So you ripped it out of the wall. Very nice. What do we do with it now? Use it as a doorstop?

"Poke your head up every once in a while, take a look around, see what's going on. It's life, Jake, and you can miss it if you don't open your eyes."
(Benjamin Sisko, The Visitor)

"The only time you should be in bed is if you’re sleeping, dying, or making love to a beautiful woman."
(Joseph Sisko, Homefront)

"There comes a time in every man's life when he must stop thinking and start doing."

"Worry and doubt are the greatest enemies of a great chef. The soufflé will either rise or it won't. There's not a damn thing you can do about it, so you might as well just sit back and wait, and see what happens."

        If you ask me, the key to holding 
        the Federation is Earth. If 
        there's going to be an organized 
        resistance against us... its 
        birthplace will be there.

                DUKAT 
        You could be right.

                WEYOUN 
        Then our first step will be to 
        eradicate its population.
            (convinced) 
        It's the only way.

This comment surprises Dukat, and he doesn't like the 
idea.


                DUKAT 
        You can't do that.

                WEYOUN 
        Why not?

                DUKAT 
        Because a true victory is to make 
        your enemy see that they were 
        wrong to oppose you in the first 
        place. To force them to 
        acknowledge your greatness.

                WEYOUN
            (trying to understand) 
        Then you kill them?

                DUKAT 
        Only if necessary.
