	Odo: "It's not important." Kira: "Whatever you say." Odo: "Certainly not worth making an issue about." Kira: "Well, glad to hear it!" [...] Odo: "I would have liked to have been consulted, that's all." Kira: "You're right! Next time we are invited out for dinner, I will make sure you are the one to say no." Odo: "I'd appreciate that."
	Nog: "I choose you." Sisko: "You want to be my apprentice?" Nog: "That's right. I want to be the first Ferengi in Starfleet. Now. Who do I see about getting a uniform?"
	Odo: "I fail to see the humor in this situation." Kira: "Come on, Odo, it's pretty ridiculous, don't you think? The two of us being outsmarted... by a chunk of crystal?"
	Kira: "I'll be fine, Odo. I promise not to go anywhere."
	Rom: "No, it's my fault. I should have explained it better." Quark: "Of course it's your fault. Everything that goes wrong here is your fault. It says so in your contract."
	Sisko: "His condition?" Bashir: "Vilix'pran is budding. His buds are undergoing individuation in just over a month." Sisko: "You mean, he's pregnant!" Bashir: "Twins." Sisko: "Oh! Reassignment granted. I'll have to make sure I offer my congratulations to the Ensign the next time I see him." Bashir: "Well, O'Brien and I are throwing him a baby shower in a couple of days. I think it would mean a lot to him if you were there."
	Jadzia: "Nog." Sisko: "He's asked for a recommendation to Starfleet Academy." Jadzia: "Nog?!" Sisko: "My reaction exactly." Jadzia: "I always thought it would be interesting to have a Ferengi in Starfleet... but Nog?"
	Kira: "When we get back to the station, I'm going to start reading those criminal activity reports." Odo: "I'll make sure you get them."
	Nog: "By myself?" Jadzia: "Look, Nog, Starfleet isn't just about diplomacy, exploration... a lot of the time, it's just hard work." Nog: "When does Commander Sisko want it done?" Jadzia: "He would like the manifest on his desk first thing in the morning." Nog: "He'll have it tonight before he goes off duty." Jadzia: "Tomorrow morning will be fine, Nog."
	Odo: "The, uh, Chief and I are supposed to go kayaking together, in the holosuite." Kira: "You're kidding. How did he talk you into that one?" Odo: "Well, he didn't talk me into anything! It's really quite enjoyable." ... Kira: "I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble imagining the two of you together in a boat!" Odo: "Well, if it helps any, he's the one who does all the singing." Kira: "He sings?!" Odo: "He says it's necessary to establish a smooth paddling rhythm." Kira: "This gets better and better! What kinds of songs does he sing?" Odo: "Ancient human sea chanteys, mostly. He's particularly fond of one called 'Louie, Louie.'" Kira: "I never pictured O'Brien as the nautical type."
	Odo: "... it's been my observation that you humanoids have a hard time giving up the things you love... no matter how much they might hurt you."
	Odo: "After all, we've been in worse situations than this one, and come out all right." Kira: "Name three... I can't think of any, either."
	Kira: "So your name is 'Unknown Sample'?" Odo: "No. "Odo'ital" literally means the word "Nothing." Even after it became clear that I was sentient, the Bajoran scientists kept calling me that. As a joke, they split it into two words, like a Bajoran name: "Odo Ital." Which eventually got shortened..." Kira: "To Odo." Odo: "I thought it was the most appropriate name anyone could give me. And then I met you..."
	"Kira": "But I want you to get out of here." Odo: "Don't you understand? I can't." "Kira": "You have to. Odo, please." Odo: "No. I won't leave you." "Kira": "Why?" Odo: "Because... Because, I'm in love with you."
	Nog: "My father is a mechanical genius. He could've been the chief engineer of a starship if he'd had the opportunity. But he went into business like a good Ferengi. The only thing is, he's not a good Ferengi... not when it comes to acquiring profit. So now all he has to live for is the slim chance that someday, somehow, he might be able to take over my uncle's bar. Well I'm not going to make the same mistake. I want to do something with my life... something worthwhile."
	"Kira": "Maybe I told you I loved you because I thought it would make you feel better. Because I thought that's what you wanted to hear." Odo: "You're lying again. The Kira I know has far too much regard for our friendship to lie to me, even for the best of reasons."
	Female Changeling: "Well done, Odo. You really are quite a skillful investigator." Odo: "And you're quite a skillful Changeling."
	Female Changeling: (to Odo) "She's never going to love you. How could she? You are a changeling."
	Quark: "I tell you, I won't stand for it! No nephew of mine is going to disgrace our family name by joining Starfleet." Nog: "But Uncle Quark..." Quark: "My mind is made up. I forbid it." Rom: "No, you don't." Quark: "Rom, stay out of this." Rom: "I will not. When it comes to the bar, you may be in charge, but when it comes to my son, I make the decisions." Quark: "Fine! You tell him he can't go." Rom: "Nog, good luck. I would be proud to have a son in Starfleet." Quark: "You're both insane." Nog: "Like father, like son."
