Kira: "Odo, I know you don't need to eat, but did you ever try it anyway?"
Odo: "Once. Not long after I was first able to assume the humanoid form."
Kira: "And...?"
Odo: "...And since I don't have taste buds it was very unsatisfying. Not to mention messy."
Kira: "Messy?!"
Odo: "I'd rather not talk about it."
   
Tiron: "...We were having such a pleasant conversation."
Kira: "As I recall, you were the one doing all the talking."
   
Dax: "I wish we'd had time to beam down to the surface and take a closer look."
O'Brien
: "Yeah, but I'd hate to have run into a Jem'Hadar patrol while we were down there picking flowers."
   
Jadzia: "The gravimetric distortions are intensifying, but they don't seem to be coming from the star itself."
O'Brien: "But where else could they be coming from? There aren't any planets in this system."
Jadzia: "There are now."
   
Deral: "I was admiring... your markings. Are they decorative?"
Jadzia: "No. Are yours?"
Deral: "No. ...If you don't mind me asking... how far down do they go?"
Jadzia: "All the way."
   
Deral: "The trick is to scoop out the pulp, and eat the thin layer inside the rind. Here, try some."
Jadzia: "It's delicious."
Deral: "Especially if you've been looking forward to it for sixty years."
Jadzia: "Sixty years?"
O'Brien: "Huh. That's a long time between meals."
   
Quark: "It's a very... effective program."
Tiron: "On the contrary, I found it to be quite dull - boring, boring, BORING!"
   
Quark: "Oh, for that kind of money, you can move into a holosuite. Now, what is it you want?"
Tiron: "I want... Major Kira."
Quark: "Kir- What are you going to do with Kira in a holosuite? ...No. Don't tell me. I don't want to know."
   
Kira: "Quark! I don't have time for this! Why don't you make him your one millionth customer?"
Quark: "But Major, that would be dishonest."
Kira: "Oh, that never stopped you before!"
Quark: "But this is a special occasion! An event like this only happens once in a bar owner's lifetime. Let me tell you about your prizes!"
Kira: "You mean I won something?!"
Quark: "Of course you won something. It's part of the celebration."
Kira: "I never won anything before."
Quark: "Well. Now you have. Congratulations."
   
Deral: "Don't tell me, in eight lifetimes you've never climbed a tree?"
Jadzia: "That's how I know I'm afraid of heights."
   
(over a comlink while Deral is planting kisses all over Jadzia's neck and O'Brien listens in on the whole exchange with amusement)
Sisko
: "If all that fresh air and sunshine start getting to you, you're welcome to come back up here to the Defiant."
Jadzia: "We're managing... just fine."
Sisko: "I'm sure you are."
   
Quark: "You just happened to get in the frame."
Odo: "Hah!"
Quark: "Will you stop doing that?"
Odo: "Not until you start telling the truth."
   
Quark: "What do you say, Major? Give the public what they want. They're not asking for much, just the chance to work side by side with you."
Kira: "Oh, they wanna work with me! Well, then let them apply to the Bajoran Military Academy. That way, I can be sure everyone in Ops is wearing their uniform."
Quark: "Is that a no?"
Kira: "Well, let me put it another way - if I ever catch you pointing a holo-imager at me again, you will end up eating it."
   
Jadzia: "After eight lifetimes as a humanoid, existing as pure consciousness... might be interesting."
Sisko: "Next time we see each other, I'll probably be a great-grandfather!"
Jadzia: "Good, then I can call you Old Man."
   
Bashir: "I, um, don't know what to say."
Jadzia: "That's a first."
   
Jadzia: "Do you think you'll be done overhauling the station by the next time I see you [in sixty years]?"
O'Brien: "I doubt it."
   
Jadzia: "I just need some time. (to herself) I just need some time... just sixty years or so."
