Gul Dukat: For the past few months, I've been conducting secret negotiations between the Dominion and Cardassia. And, as of last week, Cardassia has agreed to become part of the Dominion.
Major Kira: You can't be serious.
Gul Dukat: Good bye, Major. You and I on the same side? It never seemed quite... right - did it?

---

Gul Dukat: [speaking to his people] You might ask, should we fear joining the Dominion? And I answer you: Not in the least. We should embrace the opportunity. The Dominion recognizes us for what we are, the true leaders of the Alpha Quadrant. And now that we are joined together, equal partners in all endeavors, the only people with anything to fear will be our enemies. My oldest son's birthday is in five days. To him, and to Cardassians everywhere, I make the following pledge: By the time his birthday dawns, there will not be a single Klingon alive inside Cardassian territory. Or a single Maquis colony left within our borders. Cardassia will be made whole, all that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood, for my son, for all our sons.

---

General Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.

---

Quark: The Jem Hadar don't eat, don't drink, and they don't have sex. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Founders don't eat, and don't drink, and they don't have sex, either. Which, between you and me, makes my financial future less than promising.
Ziyal: It might not be so bad. For all we know the Vorta might be gluttonous, alcoholic sex maniacs.

---

Chief O'Brien: They're still not responding to our hails.
Captain Sisko: I think they're trying to intimidate us.
Chief O'Brien: It's working.

---

Ziyal: My father says Garak's dead.
Major Kira: Right now I wouldn't believe your father if he said rain was wet.

---

Major Kira: People can find a way to justify any action, no matter how evil.
Ziyal: You think my father is evil?
Major Kira: I think - you can't judge people by what they think or say... only by what they do.

---

Garak: There must be some misunderstanding. The last time I checked I *was* a Cardassian.

---

Ikat'ika: Today we train against a worthy adversary. Observe, analyze, remember. Soon we will face his people in combat. The lessons you learn here will ensure victory. Victory is life!
Jem'Hadar: Victory is life!

---

Captain Sisko: I have a feeling the Klingons' war against the Cardassians has taken a turn to the worse.

---

Doctor Bashir: I'm not an engineer, and neither is Mr. Worf here. You on the other hand, my dear Mr. Garak, are a man of many hidden talents.
Garak: Hm...
Doctor Bashir: If you can't do it nobody can.
Garak: It's nice to feel needed.

---

Garak: [working in a tight shaft] I only wish I was still a member of the Obsidian Order. This would make a wonderful interrogation chamber. Tight quarters, no air, bad lighting, random electric shocks - it's perfect.
Doctor Bashir: [from outside] Sounds like you're enjoying yourself.

---

Gowron: Think of it... Five years ago, no one had ever heard of Bajor or Deep Space Nine, and now... all our hopes rest here. Where the tides of fortune take us, no man can know.
Captain Sisko: They're tricky, those tides.

---

Major Kira: Klingons helping to protect Deep Space Nine... What an interesting concept.
Captain Sisko: These are interesting times, Major.

---

Gul Dukat: A few days ago, I swore all Cardassia lost would be regained. That space station you're so fond of was built by Cardassia.
Captain Sisko: Funny, I thought it was built by Bajoran slave labour.
Gul Dukat: Either surrender the station or I'll take it by force. The choice is yours.
Captain Sisko: If you want to retake the station, Dukat, you're welcome to try.

---

Lt. Commander Worf: First they demand we come out here, then they make us wait.
General Martok: They're worthy fighters; but they have no sense of honor.

---

Deyos: Fascinating. Even after all he's been through, the Klingon's still thirst for battle. Doesn't he ever tire of it?
Ikat'ika: I never do.
Deyos: You fight because that is what you were designed to do. All that motivates him is some barbaric sense of honor.
Ikat'ika: And that is something you will never understand.

---

Ikat'ika: Victory is life!
Lt. Commander Worf: Today is a good day to die.

---

Ikat'ika: I yield. I cannot defeat this Klingon. All I can do is kill him; and that no longer holds my interest.

---

Doctor Bashir: We have to come up with a new escape plan.
Garak: That won't be necessary. The original one will work; I just have to finish what I started. After all, a verse about the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger would ruin General Martok's song.
General Martok: That would be unfortunate.

---

Major Kira: Take us to warp.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Inside a solar system?
Major Kira: If we don't there won't be a solar system left.

---

Captain Sisko: Tell our friends out there to stand down. Armageddon will have to wait for another day.

---

Chief O'Brien: Four weeks? Are you telling me I've been hanging around the changeling for over a month?
Doctor Bashir: And you never even suspected it wasn't me?
Chief O'Brien: No. The worst part is, the clues were right in front of me.
Doctor Bashir: What clues?
Chief O'Brien: Well, for one thing, he was a lot easier to get along with.

---

[last lines]
Gul Dukat: You may have escaped defeat this day. But tomorrow...
Captain Sisko: We will see about tomorrow.
Gul Dukat: Yes, we will.

---

Gul Dukat: One man's villain is another man's hero.
