Sisko : Captain's log, stardate 50929.4. Two days ago, this station felt like a tomb. I'd never seen so many of my crew depressed at the same time. But for some reason, it now seems as though a new spirit has swept through the station, as if someone had opened a door and let a gust of fresh air blow through a musty old house. Why this is happening, frankly, is a mystery to me. After all, nothing has really changed. The Dominion is still a threat, the Cardassians are still threatening to retake the station, and I can still see the clouds of war gathering on the horizon. So why do I sense a newfound sense of optimism in the air? But maybe I'm overthinking this. Maybe the real explanation is as simple as something my father taught me a long time ago: even in the darkest moments, you can always find something that'll make you smile.

Kai Winn : Can you promise me that you will not let one Jem'Hadar soldier set foot on Bajor? Can you promise me that you will use your entire fleet to protect our planet, even if it means sacrificing other worlds, like Vulcan, or Andor, or Berengaria, or perhaps even Earth itself?
Sisko : I can't make that kind of promise.
Kai Winn : I wouldn't believe you if you did.

Weyoun : Captain Sisko! I can't tell you how happy I am to see you again.
Sisko : I wish I could say the same.
Weyoun : [laughs] How delightful! You feel comfortable enough around me to make jokes. I'm so pleased to see our relationship evolving beyond the stale adversarial stage.
Sisko : No, it's not. But before you twist that into a compliment, let me be blunt: I don't like the Dominion, I don't like what it stands for and I don't like you. So let's dispense with the hollow pleasantries and stick to business!

Sisko : [aghast] You accused the Kai of burglary and kidnapping?
Jake Sisko : W... we didn't really accuse her of anything.
Sisko : Oh I see, you just implied it?
Cadet Nog : Exactly!

Sisko : [at the end of a depressing dinner party, as the other officers leave] Mister Worf! You've been paroled; the party's over.

Sisko : [furious] You accused the Kai of burglary and kidnapping?
Jake Sisko : We didn't really accuse her of anything.
Sisko : Oh, I see. So you just implied it then?
Cadet Nog : That's exactly what happened.
Sisko : Are you trying to be funny, Cadet? Because I'm not laughing.

Capt. Benjamin Sisko : [in Sisko's office, after Jake and Nog accuse Kai Winn of burglary and kidnapping] I want an explanation and I want it now!
Nog : [frantically] Well, sir, it all began in my uncle Quark's bar when we saw this list of various...
Jake Sisko : [quickly interrupts Nog] ... we were in the bar and I... guess we got a little drunk.
Nog : [mortified] Jake!
Jake Sisko : It won't do any good to lie about it, Nog.
Nog : [increasingly mortified] What? Captain, I would like to separate myself from...
Capt. Benjamin Sisko : [seething with anger] As you were, Cadet! Drunk! I see that my faith in the two of you has sadly been misplaced. You both are confined to quarters until further notice!
[screams]
Capt. Benjamin Sisko : DISMISSED!
