	Odo: [to Rom] "Clear your mind, if there is anything there."
	Odo: "Patience is a lost virtue to most; to me, an ally."
	Rom: "Ohhhhhhh, irony of ironies! I finally get the bar and I'm falsely accused of my brother's murder."
	Odo: "I've had my eye on Rom for a long time, he's not as stupid as he looks." Rom: "I am too!"
	Odo: "Commence station security log, stardate 47282.5. At the request of Commander Sisko, I will hereafter be recording a daily log of law enforcement affairs. The reason for this exercise is beyond my comprehension, except perhaps that humans have a compulsion to keep records and files - so many, in fact, that they have to invent new ways to store them microscopically. Otherwise their records would overrun all known civilization. My own very adequate memory not being good enough for Starfleet, I am pleased to put my voice to this official record of this day. Everything's under control. End log."
	Odo: "Nobody ever had to teach me the justice trick. That's something I've always known. A racial memory from my species, I guess. It's really the only clue I have to what kind of people they are. Are these kinds of thoughts appropriate for a Starfleet log? I don't care. There's no room in justice for loyalty or friendship or love. Justice, as the Humans like to say, is blind. I used to believe that. I'm not sure I can anymore."
	Rom: "He's dying, isn't he? He's dying. What am I going to do if my brother dies?" Odo: "Do? Oh, you'll have a lot to do. Once this place is yours." Rom: "But if he dies... Mine?" Odo: ""Wives serve, brothers inherit." Rule of Acquisition number one hundred thirty-nine, if I'm not mistaken." Rom: "I hadn't thought of that." Odo: "Really. I had. Because, it's a solid motive for murder."
	Odo: "Security log, supplemental. The Ferengi holds onto life like it's gold-pressed latinum. Maybe he just doesn't want his brother to get ahold of the bar, or maybe he knows he's the only real witness I have."
	Odo: "I misjudged you, Major. You are a very good liar." Kira: "You were working for the Cardassians." Odo: "I haven't been for more than a year. You've had all that time to tell me the truth." Kira: "I tried to tell you the truth, a hundred times... What you think of me matters a lot. I was afraid..." Odo: "That it might affect our friendship? Maybe it doesn't have to." Kira: "Will you ever be able to trust me the same way again?"
