"Nothing makes them happy. They are dedicated to being unhappy, and to spreading that unhappiness wherever they go. They are ambassadors of unhappy!"

"She enjoys it. She actually gets some kind of perverse pleasure out of it. One of these days I'm going to stop chasing her... and then we'll see."

"Well, your sense of humor seems normal enough."

"Cough."

"How's the sex life?"

"Nobody said life was fair."

"Even if you've had seven of them."

"Causing people to suffer because you hate them is terrible... but causing people to suffer because you've forgotten how to care, that's really hard to understand."

"Well, you do have one problem... if all you can hallucinate about is Quark's maintenance problems, you do have a sadly deficient fantasy life."

"Who told you that?"

"You did. In the future."

"Oh. Well, who am I to argue with me?"

"My... tennis balls?"

"This station is in worse condition than we thought."

"You can't do this!"

"I can do anything I want. It is my mind. Computer, begin sterilization."

"What's the matter, Chief?"

"It just occurred to me. As soon as that kid graduates from the Academy, I'm going to have to call him 'sir'."

"It's funny, a year ago if you'd done something like this, I would have thought you were just trying to be a hero."

"And now?"

"Now that I know you better, I realise it was just a really stupid thing to do."

"When we were growing up, they used to tell us... Humanity had evolved, that mankind had outgrown hate and rage. But when it came down to it, when I had the chance to show, that no matter what anybody did to me, that I was still an evolved Human being... I failed. I repaid kindness with blood. I was no better than an animal."

"No. No, no, no. An animal would've killed Ee'Char and never had a second thought, never shed a tear... But not you. You hate yourself. You hate yourself so much you think you deserve to die. The Argrathi did everything they could to strip you of your Humanity and in the end, for one brief moment they succeeded. But you can't let that brief moment define your entire life. If you do, if you pull that trigger… then the Argrathi will have won. They will have destroyed a good man. You cannot let that happen, my friend."

"But don't forget, this... is still your fault."

"My fault?"

"You performed the transfer from Keiko to me."

"After you volunteered."

"After you put the idea in my head."

"After you flew the runabout into the asteroid field."

"After you insisted we check on those anomalous bio-scans."

"That was Keiko."

"That's right. It was, but I'd rather blame you."

"But you can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from lonliness anyway."

"Perhaps he's become prematurely aware of life's existential isolation."

"You function as judge, jury and executioner. And I think that's too much power for anyone."

"Miles, I don't know what to say. I'm touched."

"You're both touched!"

"You wanna get Jadzia to Sto-vo-kor fine, fine, go for it. But can't you do something more sensible? Make a donation in her name! Or bribe someone!"

"It doesn't work that way, Quark."

"It'd be nice if it did."

"Sarina? What are you looking at?"

"Everything."

"Sarina, what are you doing here? How did you get in?"

"It wasn't hard. Your access code only has six digits."

"My name's not Dax!"

"Oh, oh, I get it! Your clothes, the knife, this aggressive attitude, it's all role-playing! Call me 'Shmun'!"

"Vodka martini. Stirred, not shaken."

"Personally I don't know what Jadzia ever saw in the man."

"Well, his brains."

"Doctor, get to the point."

"I need to borrow a cup of goo."

"Excuse me?"

"I'll give it back!"

"Section 31 must have created the virus, infected Odo, and then used him as a carrier."

"So that when he linked with another Changeling, he'd pass it on, and eventually the entire race would be infected."

"31 isn't just trying to stop us from finding a cure. They're trying to cover up the fact that they set out to commit genocide."

"Well, if they gave Odo this disease, then they must have a cure."

"We have to find a way to get our hands on that cure."

"Before 31 gets their hands on us."

"Remember these? Romulan mind probes. Not the most pleasant devices, but very efficient."

"They're also illegal in the Federation."

"Oh, I hope you can appreciate the irony of that statement."

"Aha! Here we go. I knew Quark was hoarding a bottle of the good stuff."

"This is older than I am."

"What? I'm drinking with a child."

"You've been such a good friend. I'm going to miss our lunches together."

"I'm sure we'll see each other again."

"I'd like to think so, but one can never say. We live in uncertain times."

"The Battle of Thermopylae. Do you know it? Well, it's about a force of Spartans led by King Leonidas, who defend a mountain pass against a vast army of Persians.

"What happens then?"

"For two days, the Spartans lead a heroic struggle."

"Until they're wiped out."

"Yes. How'd you know?"

"Lucky guess. I take it we'll be the Spartans?"

"Fighting to the last man."

"Just like the Alamo."

"Exactly."

"Have you talked to a counsellor about these annihilation fantasies?"

"Do you think I should?"

"I'll set up a session for you tomorrow."

"What about tonight?"

"Tonight we defend the pass."
