Apocalypse Rising

01/25/2000

Bashir: "I never argue with my patients or my commanding officer."

Dukat: "I hope Shakaar realizes just what a lucky man he is."
Kira: "Shakaar's not the father."
Dukat: "Then who is?"
Kira: "Chief O'Brien."

Gowron (offended by the thought of negotiation): "... talk."
Odo: "That's right, talk.  The last thing the Dominion wants."

O'Brien: "I hate prototypes."

O'Brien (disguised as a Klingon): "It's not easy being funny wearing these teeth."

O'Brien (disguised as a Klingon): "... I think I'm actually beginning to like blood wine."
Odo (disguised as a Klingon): "It's really not too bad except for the taste."

Odo (contemplating the sound of bubbles in a drink): "Soothing, isn't it?  You know, before I became a solid I never heard that.  I had no sense of taste so I never paid much attention to food or drink.  I had no idea how seductive they could be.  ...  You know, at first I found the whole process of ingestion disgusting.  But now that I've gotten use to it I find eating and drinking to be quite comforting.  It's one of the few things that you -- that we -- humanoids have control over."
Sisko: "Not necessarily.  There's always the temptation to eat too much, to drink too much."
Odo: "One has to find something to do with one's time."

Odo (disguised as a Klingon re: blood wine): "... we might as well drink up.  It's a pity it doesn't have any bubbles."

Odo (disguised as a Klingon): "Martok's the changeling."

Quark: "... we all have our failures...."

Sisko: "Starfleet Science thinks that exposure to polaron radiation will have a destabilizing effect on changeling physiology."

Sisko: "Klingon warriors speak proudly to each other!  They do not whisper or keep their distance!"

Sisko (to Odo): "... what's done is done.  Brooding about it isn't going to change anything and shirking your responsibilities isn't going to make you feel better about yourself."

Sisko (disguised as a Klingon): "Brag all you want, but don't get between me and the blood wine."

Sisko (after having his appearance altered back to his own from the Klingon disguise): "I could do without the ridges but I kind of miss the fangs."
Odo (still in Klingon disguise): "I, for one, won't miss the fangs at all."

Jake: "You know, you can tell a lot about people's moods just by watching them walk on the promenade.  When things are going good, people take their time -- window shop -- talk to their friends.  And then there's days like today."
Bashir: "Everybody's in a hurry."
Jake: "They can feel the Klingons breathing down their necks."
Bashir: "Well, I shall have to remember to walk a little slower.  'Show no fear' -- that's my motto."

[Sisko, O'Brien and Odo posing as Klingon warriors while Worf's appearance is altered to disguise him]
Worf: "It is not enough to look like a Klingon -- one must act like one."

Worf: "Since when is it treasonous to act in the best interest of the Empire?"

The Ship

Vorta: "Do you have any gods, Captain Sisko?"
Sisko: "There are -- things -- I believe in."
Vorta: "Duty?  Starfleet, the Federation?  You must be pleased with yourself; you have this ship to take back to them.  I hope it was worth it."
Sisko: "So do I."

Looking for par'Mach in all the Wrong Places

Bashir (to Quark and Grilka):  "Never mind; I don't need that particular image running around in my head.  I'll just treat you."

Bashir (to Dax and Worf):  "I don't need that image, either; in fact, I'm going to stop asking that question altogether.  People can come in, I will treat them, and that's all."

Bashir: "Wait!  Never mind!  I don't want to know anymore!"

...Nor the Battle to the Strong

Sisko: "Anyone who's been in battle would recognize himself in this. Most of us wouldn't care to admit it. It takes courage to look inside yourself, and even more courage to write it for other people to see. I'm proud of you, son."

Jake (re: Bashir): "I have no idea what he's talking about."

The Assignment

Bashir:  "Well, I'd better get back to the Infirmary.  I left a patient on the operating table."

Dax: "I couldn't sleep so I got up and decided to scan the wormhole for radiometric anomalies."
O'Brien: "At three in the morning?"
Dax: "I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing.  It's a cures."

O'Brien: "I know what you're planning, but don't worry. I don't give a damn about the Celestial Temple or your noncorporeal feuds; I just want my wife back."

Pah-Wraith/Keiko: "Strange, these corporeal bodies of yours -- so fragile.  Burst even a tiny blood vessel in the brain and every memory, every passionate thought, gone forever."

Pah-Wraith/Keiko: "Another weakness of you corporeal life-forms -- your need for physical intimacy.  It's especially irritating in your young."

Pah-Wraith/Keiko: "A little girl need her mother."

Quark: "That's the problem of working alongside humans.  You pick up their disgusting habits.

Rom: "Ferengi can be very focused.  Especially when nobody bothers to talk to them."

Rom: "Everyone has enemies, even the prophets." 

Trials and Tribble-ations

This episode is a combination of new DS9 scenes with original TOS scenes from The Trouble with Tribbles episode.  Quotes from the original TOS episode are included under that episode.

Bashir: "I'm a doctor, not a historian."

Bashir (re: woman on turbolift):  "Whattley?  That was my great-grandmother's name."
O'Brien:  "Funny."
Bashir:  "And I think she was in Starfleet."
O'Brien:  "Why, that's a common enough name."
Bashir:  "But what if that was her?"
O'Brien:  "Do you realize the odds?"
Bashir:  "No one ever met my great-grandfather.  This could be a predestination paradox!  God, Chief, surely you took elementary temporal mechanics at the Academy.  I could be destined to fall in love with that woman and become my own great-grandfather!"
O'Brien:  "You're being ridiculous!"
Bashir:  "Ridiculous!  If I don't meet with her tomorrow I may never be born!"
Kira (on intercom):  "Chief, are you ready for transport?"
O'Brien:  "Are we ever!"
Kira (on intercom):  "Stand by."
Bashir:  "You saw the way she looked at me!  You can't just dismiss this!"
O'Brien:  "I can try."
Bashir:  "All right. Fine.  But I can't wait to get back to Deep Space Nine and see your face when you find out that I never existed!"

Bashir (looking around room at Klingons on K-7 from TOS series): "Those are Klingons?"
Odo: "Mr. Worf?"
Worf: "They are Klingons, and it is a long story."
O'Brien: "What happened?  Some kind of genetic engineering?"
Bashir: "A viral mutation?"
Worf: "We do not discuss it with outsiders."

Dax: "I guess you boys from Temporal Investigations are always on time."

Dax: "I used to have one of these. I loved classic 23rd century design."

Dax: "I had a feeling he'd become a doctor. He had the hands of a surgeon."

O'Brien (needing to scan tribbles for a bomb): "I'm not sure we can get to K-7s internal sensors."
Sisko: "Then you will have to manually scan every tribble on the station."
O'Brien: "But there must be thousands of them by now."
Bashir: "Hundreds of thousands."
Dax: "1,771,561!  That's starting with one tribble with an average litter of ten every twelve hours after three days...."

Sisko: "In the old days, operations officers wore red, command officers wore gold."
Dax: "And women wore less."
Bashir: "I think I'm going to like history."

Sisko (after seeing the Promenade covered with tribbles): "I'm open to suggestions, people."
Dax: "We could build a new station."

[tribble trills]
Worf: "What is that sound?"
Odo: "Soothing, isn't it?  The bartender called it --"
[tribble squeals]
Worf: "-- a tribble."
Odo: "Sit down!  You're drawing attention."
Worf: :Where did you get that thing?"
Odo: "From a man named Cyrano Jones.  He told me tribbles like everyone, but this one doesn't seem to like you."
Worf: "The feeling is mutual.  They are detestable creatures."
Odo: "Interesting!  It's been my observations that most humanoids love soft, furry animals.  Especially if they make pleasing sounds."
Worf: "They do nothing but consume food and bread.  If you feed that thing more than the smallest morsel in a few hours you'll have ten tribbles, then a hundred, then a thousand."
Odo: "Calm down!"
Worf: "They were once considered mortal enemies to the Klingon Empire."
Odo (holding up a tribble): "This?"
[tribble squeals]
Odo: "A mortal enemy of the Empire?"
Worf: "They were an ecological menace.  A plague to be wiped out."
Odo: "Wiped out?  What are you saying?"
Worf: "Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy.  An armada obliterated the tribble home world.  By the end of the 23rd Century, they had been eradicated."
Odo: "Another glorious chapter of Klingon history.  Tell me!  Do they still sing songs of the Great Tribble Hunt?"

Let He Who is Without Sin...

Leeta:  "It's your brother Rom.  He's cute, and very sexy."
Bashir:  "Cute?"
Quark:  "Sexy?"
Bashir and Quark:  "Rom?"

Things Past

Odo: "I see I'm going to have to add the word pickpocket to your resume."  
Garak: "It's only a hobby."

The Ascent

Nog: "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."

Nog: "A healthy body, a healthy mind."
Jake: "Please, Nog, no clich�s before breakfast."

Nog (to Jake): "You couldn't fold a shirt if your life depended on it."

Nog: "You wouldn't last a week at the Academy."
Jake: "You're right.  I'd die of embarrassment wearing those pajamas."

[Quark has been summonsed before the Federation Grand Jury on Inferna Prime]
Odo (to Quark): "I've been waiting ten years for you to get what you deserve.  Now that the big moment is finally here I wouldn't miss it for anything."

Odo: "I don't play cards."

Odo: "You can have the rest of my rations."
Quark: "These aren't rations.  These are crumbs.  You can't climb a mountain on crumbs."

Odo (to Quark):  "Now we either freeze to death or starve to death.  Take your pick."

[Quark grabs a pad from Odo and begins reading aloud from it.  The text seems to be that of a romance novel.]
Odo: "This is work, not recreation.  Books like this give me an insight into the criminal mind.  It is a well-known fact that a high percentage of homicides are motivated by romantic obsession."

Quark: "My own brother drinking root beer.  It's so hu-man."
Rom: "Mmm -- and bubbly."

Quark (to Odo): "... I use to think all your problems stemmed from the fact that you were a changeling.  Isolated from your own kind forced to live among strangers who didn't understand you.  You couldn't eat, you couldn't drink, you couldn't sleep, you couldn't make love.  Was it any wonder you had such a bad disposition?  But you're not a changeling anymore.  You're one of us.  Life is yours for the taking.  All you have to do is reach out and grab it.  --  But do you?  No.  Because solid or changeling you're still a miserable self-hating misanthrope.  That's who you are and that's who you'll always be."

Quark: "More altitude, less atmosphere."

Quark: "Finders, keepers."

Quark (to Odo): "You're on of us now and I can finally sit on a chair and know with absolute certainty that it isn't you."

Quark (walking down one hill to get to the next): "Every step down means and extra step up."

Quark (re: not being able to hear through his right ear): "A one-eared Ferengi is only half a man."

Quark: "I'm not trying to rescue you.  I'm taking you along as emergency rations.  If you die, I'm going to eat you."
Odo: "You're joking."
Quark: "Waste not -- want not."

Quark:  "Have I ever told you how much I hate that smug, superior attitude of yours?"
Odo:  "Have I ever told you how much I hate your endless whining, your pathetic greed, your idiotic little schemes?"
Quark:  "Well, I hate... you!"
Odo:  "I hate you, too!  You're nothing but a petty thief!"
Quark:  "You're an arrogant prude!"
Odo:  "Lecher!"
Quark:  "Freak!"
Odo:  "Fraud!"
Quark:  "Fascist!"
Odo:  "Failure!"

Jake (to Nog): "You can't change a writers words without his permission.  That's sacrilege."

Jake: "A man's got to live.  Sometimes living is messy."

Rapture

Kira: "He's an eighteen-year-old boy who loves his father! What would you do?"
Winn: "I would trust the prophets."
Kira: "Perhaps we're the ones who should trust the prophets."

Sisko: "It's gone! I almost had it, and it's gone!"

Winn: "Before Captain Sisko found B'hala, my path was clear.  I knew who my enemies were, but now, now nothing is certain."
Kira: "Makes life interesting, doesn't it?"

The Darkness and the Light

Dax: "Stop smirking."
Worf: "I do not smirk -- but if I did, this would be a good opportunity."

Worf: "I am a graduate of Starfleet Academy; I know many things."

The Begotten

Odo: "I am happy, Quark.  Can't you just accept it?"
Quark: "No.  It doesn't fit.  If you're happy, there's something very wrong in the world."

Worf: "Constable, why are you talking to your beverage?"   
Odo: "It's not a beverage.  It's a changeling."

For The Uniform

Odo: "Sir, have you ever reminded Starfleet Command that they stationed Eddington here because they didn't trust me?"
Sisko: "No."
Odo: "Please do."

Sisko (to Dax):  "And what's my excuse?   Is he a changeling?  No!  Is he a being with seven lifetimes of experience?  No!  Is he a wormhole alien?  No!  He's just a man!  Like me, and he beat me!"

In Purgatory's Shadow [Part I]

Garak:  "Oh, I'd like to get my hands on that fellow Earl Grey and tell him something or two about tea leaves."

Worf: "Then why all of the deception?"
Garak: "Because lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence you have to practice constantly."

By Inferno's Light [Part II]

Garak:  "This would make a wonderful interrogation chamber.  Tight quarters, no air, bad lighting, random electric shocks.  It's perfect."

Dr. Bashir, I Presume

Bashir: "You used to be my father.  Now, you're my architect: the man who designed a better son, to replace the defective one he was given."

Bashir (to O'Brien re: self): "The word you are looking for is 'monster'."

Bashir (to his parents): "My name is Julian.  I stopped calling myself 'Jules' when I was fifteen and found out what you did to me!"

O'Brien (re: Bashir hologram): "Just think, Julian, if this thing works you'll be able to irritate hundreds of people you've never even met."

Holographic Bashir: "Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
Dr. Zimmerman: "Oh, that's original."

A Simple Investigation

Arissa: "I didn't realize I'd tripped an alarm."
Odo: "You didn't.  You're good."
Arissa: "I still got caught."
Odo: "I've been following you."
Arissa: "I didn't know."
Odo: "I'm good, too."

Business as Usual

01/19/2000

Dax (to Quark): "... you always had a knack for getting out of tight spots."

Gaila: "A clothed female -- how titillating."
Dax (to Quark): "Isn't this the cousin that tried to kill you?"
Gaila: "I see you've heard of me."

Gaila: "I need you, Quark, to do the thing you do best -- public relations.  Showing our clients a good time.  Providing an atmosphere conducive to closing deals."
Quark: "I can do that."

Gaila: "Weapons is a growth industry."

Gaila: "... all good things must come to an end."

Gaila: "...  'The riskier the road, the greater the profit.'"

Gaila (to Quark): "Look out there.  Millions and millions of stars.  Millions upon millions of worlds -- and right now, half of them are fanatically dedicated to destroying the other half.  Now, do you think if one of those twinkling little lights suddenly went out, anybody would notice?"

Hagath: "I admire confidence in a man.  In fact, I demand it of my salesmen.  But in business, one must be careful not to grow too confident."

Hagath: "You're a natural salesman."
Quark: "I am, aren't I?  It's no different than selling sandwiches."

Hagath: "... money does strange things to people."

Hagath: "... not every deal is about making money.  Sometimes you have to look at the big picture and at times, gaining a friend is more important than making a profit."
Gaila: "I admit, it's not the Frengi way but it's good business, nonetheless."

Hagath: "Betrayal -- it's the one unforgivable sin, especially when it's committed by someone you trusted implicitly."

O'Brien: "Looking out for a baby can be a full-time job."

O'Brien: "What are you telling me?  My baby's just sad?"
Bashir: "Perhaps he's become prematurely aware of life's existential isolation."
O'Brien: "You're sure it's not a rash?"
Bashir: "Look on the bright side: he'll probably be a great poet."

Quark: "...  That's it.  I'm finished.  ...  I'm up to my lobes in debt."

Quark: "It's a pleasure doing business with someone who appreciates a fine weapon.  ..."

Quark (to Talura while getting his ears massaged by Talura): "Don't stop until you see smoke."

Quark (to Dax): "The weapons I sell are strictly defensive.  To be well armed is a deterrent to war.  Don't you know anything about the balance of power?"

Quark (to Regent of Palamar): "28 million dead?  Can't we just wound some of them?  ..."
Hagath: "Quark was just trying to make a little joke but, unfortunately, Ferengi humor doesn't translate too well."

Jake (to O'Brien): "Now, go to work.  You need the rest."

Ties of Blood and Water

Dukat: "I prefer the title 'Gul'; so much more hands-on than 'Legate', no?  And less pretentious than the other alternatives: 'President', 'Emperor', 'First Minister', 'Emissary'."
Sisko: "How about 'Dominion puppet'?"

Weyoun:  "Mysterious plots, veiled threats, subtle innuendo -- it's all so entertaining."

Weyoun (re: drinking lethal poison):  "Oh, my, that is quite toxic, isn't it.  Vorta are immune to most forms of poison; comes in handy when you're a diplomat."

Ferengi Love Songs

Brunt: "Congratulations, Quark.  You're a Ferengi again."
Quark: "I always was!"

Soldiers of the Empire

Bashir (to General Martok):  "If you really want to thank me, don't come in here dripping blood anymore.  It takes days to get it out of the carpet!"

O'Brien: "So, Julian, how's the Intelligence business?"
Bashir:  "Oh, I can't talk about it.  All I can do is read these reports, and analyses, and analyses of analyses, and keep my mouth shut about it.  So, I have to walk around the station looking like I -- you really don't care, do you?"
O'Brien: "No, Julian, I don't."

Children Of Time

01/14/2000

Bashir: "Apparently, the planet is crawling with Bashirs."
Kira: "Maybe I'll stay up here."

Bashir: "Did you see who I end up with?"

Bashir (re: Odo): "He's resting comfortably.  He can't hold his shape because of the quantum fluctuations inside the barrier."

Brota: "Q'apla."
Worf: "Q'apla."
Brota: "We are the Sons of Mogh."
Worf: "You are my descendants."
Brota: "Some by blood.  Some by choice.  Our hearts are Klingon.  We live as warriors just as you taught our ancestors long ago."

Brota: "Tomorrow, we will see the sun rise again -- but no one here will see it set."

Brota: "Ceasing to exist because my parents were never born?  That is not a death worthy of Sto'vo'kor.  --  Kill me, Worf.  I have no enemies to fight, no glory to be won.  Give me an honorable death."

Brota: "You said there was an enemy for us to fight."
Worf: "They are attempting to plant these fields before the sun sets.  Time is their enemy.  We should help them defeat it."

Jadzia Dax: "I was going over the sensor logs from the crash and I came across something odd.  --  The quantum fluctuations in the barrier factored out to zero.  The chance of that must be a billion to one.  ...  ... Yedrin faked the logs."
Sisko: "Why would he do that?"
Jadzia Dax: "So we'd think his plan was going to work.  It's not.  There was never going to be a duplicate Defiant.  Just one -- and Yedrin wanted to make sure it went back in time."
Sisko: "So that history would repeat itself."
Jadzia Dax: "If I hadn't realized what he had done, we would have ended up stranded here and Kira would have died."

Jadzia Dax: "Everyone we met -- they never existed."
Sisko: "They existed.  As long as we remember them -- they always will."

Yedrin Dax (observing a math school program with the likeness of Quark reading the word math problem): "I've always thought that Quark would make a great math teacher.  He's so good with numbers."

Yedrin Dax: "Kira died a few weeks after the crash.  The energy discharge that struck her on the bridge damaged her neural pathways.  The Defiant didn't have the medical equipment that Julian needed to treat her."

Yedrin Dax: "If you don't take the Defiant back in time, the 8,000 people on this planet will cease to exist."
Sisko: "...  What am I suppose to do?  Recreated the accident and deliberately maroon my crew?"
Yedrin Dax: "It's what would have happened.  ..."
Sisko: "I'm not going to stand here and argue philosophy with you.  I have a duty to protect my people."

Yedrin Dax: "Is one life too much to ask if it saves 8,000?"
Sisko: "Who are you to decide who lives or dies?"

Yedrin Dax: "Planting day has always been important here.  It brings everyone together."

Gabriel: "Are you the son of Mogh?"
Worf: "Yes, I am."
Gabriel: "Is it true you can kill someone just by looking at them?"
Worf: "Only when I'm angry."

Kira: "The way I see it, people are either meant to be together, or they're not."
Jadzia Dax: "I guess I'd rather believe that any relationship can work as long as both people really want it to."

Kira: "Praying over your own grave -- it's got to be a new one."
Other Odo: "Yeah.  If the Prophets were listening, they're probably very confused."

Kira: "... this whole quantum duplicate, two Defiants thing, has me feeling a little strange."
Other Odo: "Why?  Thanks to Yedrin's plan, our timeline is being preserved.  You're going back to the station for the treatment you need."
Kira: "...  It's just that I've always believed that we're all given one destiny -- one path -- and now we're using technology to get around that.  I'm not sure how it makes me feel."

Kira: "The path the Prophets laid out for me ends here."
Other Odo: "...  The Captain's taking you back to D.S.9."
Kira: "I can't let him do that.  --  Not if it's going to cost 8,000 lives.  And now we have to let history take its course even if it means I have to die here."

Kira: "We've got to take the Defiant back in time.  Otherwise, we're cheating fate."
O'Brien: "... I wouldn't mind cheating fate all the way back home to the station."

O'Brien: "We can't let these people die."

Miranda O'Brien: "Welcome to Gaia, Captain Sisko."
Sisko: "You know my name?"
Miranda: "We've been expecting you."
Yedrin Dax: "It's a long story, Benjamin.  Why don't you come down and we'll talk about it...."

Miranda: "This settlement was founded by the crew of a Starfleet vessel that crashed on this planet two centuries ago.  I realize this is going to be hard for you to accept but that ship was the Defiant.  Two days from now when you leave here and try to pass through the energy barrier you will be thrown back in time 200 years.  You'll be stranded here and become the founders of this settlement.  We -- are your descendants."

Other Molly O'Brien: "Aren't you going to help?"
O'Brien: "I'm busy."
Other Molly: "You don't look busy."
Sisko (laughing): "She's an O'Brien all right."

Odo: "The other Odo, the one from the planet -- came to sickbay before the left the ship.  ...  He linked with me.  Now, I know everything that happened."

Odo: "There's something else the other Odo wanted you to know.  He was responsible for changing the Defiant's flight plan."
Kira: "--  Why?"
Odo: "So that you wouldn't have to die.  ...  He did it for you, Nerys.  He loved you."
Kira: "That makes it right?"
Odo: "I don't know.  He thought so."

Other Odo: "Hello, Nerys."
Kira: "Odo?"
Other Odo: "I came up from the surface as soon as I heard you were here."
Kira: "...  How are you holding your shape?  I thought --"
Other Odo: "I learned to counter the barrier's affects a long time ago.  It's good to see you."
Kira: "You look different."
Other Odo: "I've gotten better at shapeshifting over the years.  --  You're as beautiful as I remember.  You can't know how I've longed to hear your voice, see your smile."
Kira: "Odo -- what's gotten into you?"
Other Odo: "There's something I want you to know, something I've wanted to tell you for 200 years.  I love you, Nerys.  I've always loved you."
Kira: "What do you mean you love me?"
Other Odo: "Is it so hard to believe?"
Kira: "I never knew you felt that way about me."
Other Odo: "I did everything I could to make sure you wouldn't find out."
Kira: "Oh.  And it worked.  Why didn't you ever say anything?"
Other Odo: "I didn't think you could possibly care for me the way I care for you.  I suppose I was afraid of ruining what we had.  Our friendship meant everything to me.  It still does."

Sisko (re: surveying a planet surrounded by an energy barrier): "All right, we'll make a quick survey.  But if all we detect is some fungus, we're not beaming down."
Jadzia Dax: "What if it's a smart fungus?"

Sisko: "... my people have a right to return home to their families.  And I will not ask Kira to sacrifice her life for 8,000 people -- for eight million.  No one has the right to ask that."

Blaze Of Glory

Sisko: "Is that what you want?  To be remembered as the man who helped bring about the worst war in Federation history?"
Eddington: "Not quite the legacy I had in mind, but I can live with it."

Empok Nor

Garak:  "Lately I've noticed that everyone seems to trust me.  It's really quite unnerving; I'm still trying to get used to it."

Garak [to O'Brien re: Starfleet personnel hanging on wall]:  "Your loyal team -- apparently they've forgiven you for getting them killed.  [re: two dead Cardassians on opposite wall]  My supporters may be fewer in number, but they're no less loyal."

Garak: "If I'd been any closer to that phaser, it would have killed me."
O'Brien: "Well, don't take this the wrong way, but that was the plan."

In The Cards

Winn: "Can you promise me that you will not let one Jem'Hadar soldier set foot on Bajor?  Can you promise me that you will use your entire fleet to protect our planet, even if it means sacrificing other worlds like Vulcan, or Andor, or Berengaria, or perhaps even Earth itself?"

A Call To Arms

Bashir: "You don't think Starfleet could send a few ships, say fifty?"

Dax:  "We'll rendezvous with the Federation task force in forty-eight hours."
Bashir:  "Then what?"
Nog:  "Then we make the Dominion sorry they ever set foot in the Alpha Quadrant!"
Sisko: "Cadet, you took the words right out of my mouth."

Odo: "You'd shoot a man in the back?"
Garak: "Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?"
