	Quark: "You Federation types are all alike: You talk about tolerance and understanding, but you only practice it toward people who remind you of yourselves. Because you disapprove of Ferengi values, you scorn us, distrust us, insult us every chance you get." Sisko: "Quark, I don't have to stand here and defend myself." Quark: "Tell me, Commander, would you allow your son to marry a Ferengi female?" Sisko: "I never thought about it!"
	Talak'talan: "I'm Third Talak'talan of the Jem'Hadar. I am here to inform you that your commander has been detained for questioning by the Dominion." Kira: "Detained? For how long?" Talak'talan: "Indefinitely. Commander Sisko will serve as an example of what happens to anyone who interferes with the Dominion." Kira: "What kind of interference are you talking about?" Talak'talan: "Coming through the Anomaly is interference enough. Unless you wish to continue to offend the Dominion, I suggest you stay on your side of the Galaxy."
	Talak'talan: "Here is a list of vessels we've destroyed for violating our territory." Kira: "Where did you get this datapadd?" Talak'talan: "From the Bajoran colony on our side of the Anomaly. You should be proud. I hear they fought well for a spiritual people. I hope we won't have to repeat this lesson."
	Quark: "The way I see it, hew-mons used to be a lot like Ferengi: greedy, acquisitive, interested only in profit. We're a constant reminder of a part of your past you'd like to forget." Sisko: "We don't have time for this..." Quark: "But you're overlooking something: Hew-mons used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi. Slavery. Concentration camps. Interstellar wars. We have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We're nothing like you. We're better. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lock to pick."
	Dax: "If you're going to try to rescue them, then we're coming with you." Keogh: "Are you sure that's wise? With the exception of Major Kira and Mister O'Brien, none of you've had much combat experience." Bashir: "We fought the Maquis." Keogh: "All the Maquis had were a pair of lightly armed shuttlecraft. I expect the Dominion to have sharper teeth." Dax: "Well then, you're gonna need all the help you can get!"
	(after the destruction of the U.S.S. Odyssey) O'Brien: "We were retreating. There was no need for a suicide run." Sisko: "They're showing us how far they're willing to go."
	Kira: "She'll be back. The question is who she'll bring with her." Sisko: "If the Dominion comes through the Wormhole, the first battle will be fought here. And I intend to be ready for them."
	Talak'talan: "A Ferengi and a Human. I was hoping the first race I'd meet from the other side of the Anomaly would be the Klingons." Sisko: "I'm sorry to disappoint you." Talak'talan: "It's too late for apologies. The Dominion will no longer stand by and allow ships from your side to violate our territory."
	Sisko: "The Jem'Hadar wanted us to escape, didn't they? That was the plan all along, for us to bring you back here, so you could spy on the Federation." Eris: "Well done, Commander." Sisko: "You're one of the Founders, aren't you?" Eris: "You think the Founders would waste their time with you?" Sisko: "Constable." Odo: "Madam, if you'll come with us..." Eris: "You have no idea what's begun here."
	Sisko: "Quark, shut up!" Quark: "I have a right to express my opinion!" Sisko: "I'm about to put my fist through your opinion!"
	Eris: "The Jem'Hadar are the most feared soldiers in the Dominion." Quark: "The Ferengi have been trying to open trade negotiations with the Dominion for almost a year. We've never even heard of the Jem'Hadar." Eris: "Then you've been fortunate. Negotiations with the Dominion can be a very dangerous thing. The Dominion decides that you have something that they want, and then they come and take it - by negotiation or by force. "
