Sisko: "I'm sorry, Major -- but where you see a Sword of Stars, I see a comet; where you see vipers, I see three scientists; and where you see the Emissary, I see a Starfleet officer."
   
Gilora: "I assure you, I'm quite fertile."
O'Brien: "WHAT?!"
Gilora: "I could provide you with many healthy children, if that's your concern, but personally, I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself."
O'Brien: "I already have a child... and a wife!"
   
Quark: "Rumour has it that the shop next door to mine is going out of business. I'm thinking of renting it and setting up a few Cardassian gaming concessions."
Odo: "There'll be no live vole fights on the promenade, Quark."
Quark: "I would never be part of anything so cruel and inhumane...But, of course if some Cardassians brought their voles along, and they happened to get into a fight, I could hardly be held responsible."
Odo: "Oh yes you could be."
Sisko: "And you will be."
   
Jadzia: "...And as the thirty-fourth Rule of Acquisition states - "Peace is good for business.""
Quark: "That's the thirty-fifth Rule."
Jadzia: "Oh, that's right. What's the thirty-fourth?"
Quark: ""War is good for business." It's easy to get them confused."
   
Odo: "...how do you know their names? I was just informed an hour ago."
Quark: "Odo, please... I have a bottle of Kanar for each of them, along with a personal invitation to Quark's."
   
Vedek Yarka: "Thank you for seeing me, Emissary."
Sisko: "What can I do for you?"
Vedek Yarka: "I'm here to bring a warning from the Prophets... They don't want you to let the Cardassians come aboard the station. If you do, you will bring destruction on us all."
   
Sisko: "Well now that we've gotten the formalities out of the way, how was your trip?"
Ulani: "Exhausting... we spent most of it rehearsing what we were going to say when we got here."
Gilora: "We're scientists, not diplomats."
Sisko: "You did very well."
Ulani: "Please feel free to let the Central Command know that. In the past few days I've been contacted by Guls I've never even heard of, all of them wanting to emphasize how important this mission is."
   
Sisko: "Those were about the two friendliest "vipers" I've ever met..."
   
Bashir: "Morn came by the Infirmary this afternoon, he had an acute case of food poisoning."
Kira: "Morn? I didn't think anything could make him sick."
Bashir: "He said he got a bad glass of Kanar at Quark's."
Kira: "He should ask for a refund."
Bashir: "Apparently it was on the house."
   
Kira: "The Sword of Stars..."
Ulani: "That's a very colorful way to describe a comet, Major."
Kira: "It was ... just a figure of speech."
   
Sisko: "Do you really believe I'm the Emissary?"
Kira: "I guess I always have. But I've never wanted to admit it to myself. It's hard to work for someone who's a religious icon."
Sisko: "I hope this doesn't offend your beliefs, but I don't think of myself as an icon... religious or otherwise. I'm a Starfleet Officer, and I have a mission to accomplish. If I'm going to call it off, it has to be for a concrete reason, something solid, something... Starfleet."
   
Jadzia: "Chief O'Brien said he'd have the modifications to the Defiant's phasers ready within half an hour."
Sisko: "Half an hour ahead of schedule."
Jadzia: "The chief is a born engineer. He always gives himself a comfortable margin on his repair estimates."
   
Vedek Yarka: "There are signs that Trakor's fourth prophecy will soon come to pass as well."
Sisko: "Don't tell me it has something to do with me..."
