	Quark: [on Sakonna] "And by the way, I'd love to melt that cold Vulcan heart of yours."
	Dukat: "A good interrogator doesn't allow his subject to die; you lose the advantage."
	Sakonna: "Very well, I will attempt to respect some of your cultural idiosyncrasies. I will drink the wine, but I won't dance." Quark: "Maybe you'll change your mind after you drink the wine." Sakonna: "No, I won't."
	Hudson: "I'm glad to see you had no trouble finding us, Ben. It seems that one disaster after another keeps bringing us back together again."
	Sisko: (angry) "I've got people out there killing people, Major. You suggest I turn a blind eye to that?" Kira: "Don't they have a right to defend themselves?" Sisko: "They've crossed the line!" Kira: "If Starfleet is unwilling to defend them in the Demilitarized Zone..." Sisko: "They chose to live with the Cardassians!" Kira: "Well, I didn't! But I lived with them for twenty-six years before the liberation came. Every Bajoran lived with them in constant fear. I know what those colonists are going through. Most of all, I know the Cardassians can't be trusted to keep their side of the bargain in this treaty." Sisko: "So, you'd suggest the Federation shouldn't keep our side of the bargain either, perhaps by arming these colonists?" Kira: "I can't answer that, Commander. But I can tell you one thing for certain - the Cardassians are the enemy, not your own colonists. And if Starfleet doesn't understand that, then the Federation is more naive than I already think it is."
	Sisko: "The demilitarized zone." Nechayev: "Not so demilitarized, I'm afraid."
	Dax: "I'm having dinner with Captain Boday." Kira: "The Gallamite? You're going out on a date with him?" Dax: "Is something wrong with that?" Kira: "No. Not at all." Dax: "He happens to be brilliant. His brain is twice the size of yours and mine." Kira: "I know, I've seen it." Dax: "It's not his fault that Gallamites have transparent skulls."
