Jake: "You are evil."
Mardah: "Who, me?"
Jake: "He was going to walk away a winner!"
Mardah: "First rule of dabo is, watch the wheel, not the girl." |

Sisko: "You bought a child?"
Quark: "I just thought that I was buying some wreckage. How was I
supposed to know that there was a baby in there?"
Sisko: "Maybe you should inspect the merchandise before you make
the deal. Or isn't there a Rule of Acquisition for that?"
Quark: "There is, and I do. Usually." |
|
|
|
Quark: "Now, wait a minute! I paid good money for
that wreckage and... now it's yours. Enjoy." |
|
|
|
Dax: "I was talking about an orphanage?"
Sisko: "... Oh, right. Have Major Kira make the appropriate
arrangements. You'll keep me informed about him?"
Bashir: "Yes, sir." |
|
|
|
Jadzia: "You were positively glowing! I haven't
seen that look on your face since..."
Sisko: "... Since Jake stopped wearing diapers." |
|
|
|
O'Brien: "Sixteen years old, and dating a dabo
girl. Godspeed, Jake." |
|

Odo: "What sort of
'specialists' are we talking about, Commander?"
Sisko: "There will be a team of xenobiologists and
exopsychologists waiting for him."
Odo: "So... they're going to study him. Like a laboratory
specimen."
Sisko: "Well, he'll be very well treated."
"So, he'll be a well-treated specimen." |
|
|
|
Sisko: "Poetry? You - you write poetry?"
Jake: "Well, sort of." |
|
|
|
Mardah: "Jake seemed like
just another teenage boy, at first... but there's more to him than
that."
Sisko: "I'm beginning to realize that, myself."
Mardah: "I care about him very much."
Sisko: "... And so do I. Now, tell me more about my poet-hustler
son." |

O'Brien: "I still don't
understand why they would engineer someone to be addicted to a certain
chemical."
Odo: "I suspect it's another way of ensuring the loyalty of the
Jem'Hadar to the Founders. If your soldiers are addicted to a drug that
can't be replicated and only you can provide, that gives you a great
deal of control over them."
O'Brien: "Seems a pretty cold-blooded thing to do."
Odo: "My people don't have blood, Chief." |
|
|
|
Odo: "He trusts me!"
Kira: "But can you trust him? How long do you think you're going
to be able to control him?"
Odo: "I'm not trying to control any-... anybody. I'm just trying
to give him some choices other than becoming a laboratory specimen or a
Jem'Hadar solider."
Kira: "I never thought I would say this to you, Odo, but you are
listening to your heart, not your head. That boy was created in a
laboratory! His body, his mind, his instincts, are all designed to do
one thing... to kill."
Odo: "My body, mind, and instincts were designed to be a Founder.
You were trained to be a terrorist. But each of us chose to be something
different. I just want to give him the same chance we've had!"
Kira: "All right. Give him a chance. Just don't forget: he is a
Jem'Hadar. He's dangerous!"
Odo: "I'm well aware of the risk, Major."
Kira: "I hope so." |

Odo: "If he boards the
Constellation when it arrives, he'll either kill a lot of innocent
people, or be killed himself."
Sisko: "What makes you think he'll let you come back?"
Odo: "I don't believe he could injure a Changeling."
Sisko: "When the Constellation arrives, I'll tell them that I
couldn't stop you from leaving. That I would've had to kill the boy to
keep him here. Admiral Nechayev won't like that answer, but it has the
virtue of being the truth." |

Jem'Hadar: "He was afraid of
me. I could see the fear in his eyes."
Odo: "Commander Sisko was trying to do what's best for you. He
was trying to help you."
Jem'Hadar: "He's not my friend, he's my enemy! And I now know
that anyone who is not a Jem'Hadar is my enemy."
Odo: "Does that include me?" |

O'Brien: "I thought you were
going to lower the boom on those two."
Sisko: "Well, I was, but some things came up at dinner I didn't
expect."
O'Brien: "Got to know her a little better, and decided you liked
her after all?"
Sisko: "No, actually I got to know Jake a little better. Have you
ever played dom-jot with him?"
O'Brien: "Nope."
Sisko: "Don't." |
