[Jake and Nog are working for a scientist named Geiger, involving them in the search for a missing teddy bear]
Jake Sisko : Let me introduce you to a new Human expression: we're going to beard the lion in its den.
Cadet Nog : Lions, Gigers, bears...
Jake Sisko : Oh my.

Cadet Nog : Look, it's taken me a lifetime to save up that much money, and I'm not just gonna throw it away for some baseball card!
Jake Sisko : [sighs, then acts melodramatically] Not even for my father - the man who made it possible for you to enter Starfleet Academy...
Cadet Nog : Oh no, that's not fair!
Jake Sisko : The man who believed in you, when no one else would...
Cadet Nog : Oh, this is so low!
Jake Sisko : I can't believe you'd rather keep your filthy money locked up in a box under a bed than use it to give him endless moments of happiness.
Cadet Nog : Aargh! All right, all right! I'll do it!
Jake Sisko : [back to normal] That's very generous of you, Nog. I'm proud of you. Now let's get that money.
Cadet Nog : Hew-mons!
-
Cadet Nog : It's not my fault your species decided to abandon currency-based economics in favor of some philosophy of self-enhancement.
Jake Sisko : Hey - watch it! There's nothing wrong with our philosophy. We work to better ourselves and the rest of Humanity.
Cadet Nog : What does that mean exactly?
Jake Sisko : It means... it means, we don't need money.

[Jake and Nog are trying with Odo's help to investigate on Giger's disappearance]
Cadet Nog : Maybe the soulless minions of orthodoxy finally caught up with him.
Odo : [confused] The who?
Jake Sisko : We don't know who they are, but they were after Dr. Giger's cellular regeneration and entertainment chamber.
Odo : [more confused] His what?
Jake Sisko : It's a device used to keep the cells in your body from getting bored. You see, he was going to transmit messages to people's cells to keep them entertained, so they wouldn't die off. And as a result, these people would... live forever.
Odo : [completely clueless] Aha...
-
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!
-
Jake Sisko : We weren't supposed to divulge this, but since you left us no choice... We're working for Starfleet Intelligence.
Cadet Nog : Oh no...
-
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.

Cadet Nog : [after an extremely depressing party in Sisko's quarters] Thanks for the invitation, Jake. That was a lot of fun.
Jake Sisko : Did you see how down my Dad was? He was trying to hide it but I could tell he's really depressed.
Cadet Nog : He's not the only one.
[referring to the customers in Quark's]
Cadet Nog : Look around - there's something in the air. People are scared.
Jake Sisko : Yeah, but my Dad's usually the one who tries to lift everyone's spirits. I mean, people go to him for encouragement. Where does he go when he's depressed? Who lifts his spirits?
Quark : [Quark approaches Jake and Nog at the bar] I hope I'll be seeing both of you here tomorrow at 12:00 hours.
Cadet Nog : Why?
Quark : Why? Haven't you heard? There's going to be an auction of the galaxy's rarest and most valuable antiquities.
[Quark hands a PADD to Nog]
Quark : Here, find something you like and make a bid with all that latinum you have stashed under your bed.
Cadet Nog : [looks around] Shh!
Quark : Oh, Nog. You don't really keep it under your bed.
Cadet Nog : No, of course not.
Jake Sisko : [Jake glances over at the PADD] Where'd you get all this stuff, Quark?
Quark : I'm just conducting the auction - for a modest commission. The items up for sale were aboard an old derelict freighter the Bajorans found adrift about a light year from here.
[launching into his sales pitch]
Quark : The cargo hold was crammed with valuables of every description - antiques, paintings, vehicles...
Cadet Nog : [interrupting] Its all a bunch of junk. Listen to some of this stuff: mid 24th century ceramic Romulan water basin - slightly cracked; a pair of Tellerite shoes - date unknown; a mid 20th century hew-mon baseball card; a Tholian pedestal of...
Jake Sisko : A baseball card!
[Jake grabs the PADD from Nog and starts reading it]
Jake Sisko : A mint condition 1951 Willie Mays rookie card. Nog, this is it!
Cadet Nog : What do you mean?
Jake Sisko : It's perfect! This is how I can cheer up my Dad! You know how much he loves baseball - he'll go nuts when he sees this.
Quark : Well, tell him to be here at 12:00 hours and he can bid along with...
Jake Sisko : No, I'm going to bid on this. He's always doing things for me, I want to do something for him for a change. And this is it. All I have to do is get him this card. How hard could that be?

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!
