[Jadzia and Odo are discussing Odo's effect on women]
Odo: Women don't react to me in that manner.
Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: Are you saying that you've never had a female friend?
Odo: I consider Major Kira a friend.
Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: That's not what I meant. I'm talking about an intimate friendship.
Odo: That's a very personal question.
Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: I'm sorry, but after seven lifetimes the impersonal questions aren't much fun anymore.

Taya: What happened to your face?
Odo: Nothing happened to my face; I'm a shapeshifter. I just don't do faces very well.

---

Taya: Your face isn't so scary once you get used to it.

---

Jake Sisko: It's kinda fun working with Chief O'Brien. But it would be better if I knew what I was doing.

---

Major Kira: Quark - get this into that little twisted brain of yours! If you thought you were gonna get away with anything while Odo's gone, think again - I'm watching you!
Quark: Major... You make it sound like you don't like me.
Major Kira: Don't like you? You collaborated with the Cardassians, you cheat your customers, and you're a danger to the station. I don't just not like you - I despise you!
[walks away]
Quark: [embarrassed] Sorry I mentioned it.

Odo: When I was younger, people were always asking me to change shape for them. They pretended to be my friends. But all they wanted was to see me become a chair or an animal. None of them ever really cared about me.

---

Vedek Bareil: So what did you think?
Major Kira: Of your speech?
Vedek Bareil: Hmm...
Major Kira: I liked everything about it - except the content.

---

Major Kira: You follow springball?
Vedek Bareil: Religiously, if you pardon the expression, I even used to play a little.
Major Kira: Me too. I had Chief O'Brien design a springball holosuite program.
Vedek Bareil: Really? Let's go!

---

Quark: Life is full of disappointments.

---

Odo: What about the villagers, what about your granddaughter?
Rurigan: She's not real.
Odo: Technically I suppose you're right. Maybe, by our definition, Taya is not real; her memories are stored in a computer, her body is made of omicron particles. But who is to say that our definition of life is the only valid one?

---

Odo: I saw the way you held her hand when she was sad; I saw the way you tried to comfort her when she was frightened.
Rurigan: I... I didn't want her to get hurt.
Odo: If she's not real, what does it matter?
Rurigan: It matters... It matters to me.
Odo: Why should it matter to you if a hologram cries?
Rurigan: Because I love her.

---

Odo: Don't you see? She's real to you; and she's real to me too, they're all real. And you can't turn your back on them now.

[Kira confronts Quark for having had Vedek Bareil invited to the station]
Quark: Is that a crime?
Major Kira: Not at all. I just wanted to thank you. I found him very...
[her look becomes menacing]
Quark: ...diverting!
[turns and walks away]
Quark: [out of Kira's earshot] Not diverting enough.

---

Taya: Thank you for bringing my mother back. I hope you find your parents too.

---

Jake Sisko: Dad, I don't want to join Starfleet.
Commander Sisko: Since when?
Jake Sisko: Sin... Since forever. Starfleet is too much like you. I need to find what's me.

---

Commander Sisko: Your life, Jake, you have to choose your own way. There is only one thing I want from you: find something you love. Then do it the best you can.
Jake Sisko: I'll try.
Commander Sisko: Good. Then you make the old man proud.
