Quotes 

• Odo : You're not...!

  Major Kira : Leaving? I really don't have much choice, do I?

  Odo : You're not just leaving, Major, you're surrendering.

  Major Kira : You break the rules, you pay.

  Odo : Wait a minute, I wanna be sure I heard that correctly. Because it doesn't sound like the Kira Nerys who has made a career out of breaking the rules.

  Major Kira : Well, I guess I broke one too many.

  Odo : [incensed]  Major, you've been breaking one too many for fourteen and a half years! Cardassian rules, Bajoran rules, Federation rules, they're all meaningless to you. Because you have a personal code, that's always mattered more. And I'm sorry to say, you're in slim company.

  Major Kira : [softly]  I'll miss you too, Odo.

• [after Quark informs Odo who is supplying The Circle with weapons, but refuses to try and find out more] 

  Odo : Quark, I hate to do this, but I guess I'll have to...

  Quark : That's not fair!

  Odo : I haven't done anything yet.

  Quark : Whatever you're going to do, it's not fair!

  Odo : You're a deputy.

  Quark : It's not - what?

  Odo : You're a deputy. I want you to find out where the weapons are going on Bajor. Meanwhile, I'm going to find out exactly where they're coming from.

  Quark : You and me, a team?

  Odo : That's right.

  [Quark bursts out laughing, bowing over the chair in hysterics, then sobers] 

  Quark : Uh, goodbye.

  Odo : Either that or I'm putting you in a cell.

  Quark : *That's* not fair. On what charge?

  Odo : Impeding an investigation. Unless you want to reveal the identities of the people you've been talking to.

  Quark : You know I can't do that.

  Odo : It's your choice. You're a deputy or you're a prisoner.

  Quark : [with fake enthusiasm]  I'm a deputy.

• Quark : It's over.

  Odo : What're you talking about?

  Quark : Everything. Bajor, the provisional government, the Federation being here, all of it. We got to leave. Well, I do anyway. You can just turn into a couch.

• Doctor Bashir : [to Kira]  I came to give you my best.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : Well, that's rather dull.

  Doctor Bashir : I beg your pardon?

  Major Kira : Dull is a polite word for it.

  Odo : Doctor, if you were Kira, wouldn't you at least be complaining to Commander Sisko?

  Doctor Bashir : Look, I just wanted to wish you good luck.

  Major Kira : Thank you, Doctor!

  Doctor Bashir : Complaining, about what?

  Odo : Never mind, Doctor. If she doesn't care, why should we?

  Doctor Bashir : Have they given you any reason yet?

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : Did they give you any alternative?

  Major Kira : I do care. - No, they haven't. - No, they didn't. I... I really ought to finish packing!

• Odo : Idiotic bureaucracy! Now I suppose they'll expect me to break in a new man!

  Major Kira : A great man. Li Nalas can handle the job, believe me.

  Odo : Well, you did fairly well at it once I smoothed your rough edges.

  Major Kira : [surprised]  Ha!

  Odo : What's so funny?

  Major Kira : [amused]  I thought *you* did fairly well - once I smoothed *your* rough edges.

• Odo : Have you asked Sisko for help?

  Major Kira : I'm sure he'll do whatever he thinks is best for the station.

  Odo : You haven't even gone to him?

  Major Kira : Well, what do you want me to do, Odo?

  Odo : Fight for what you want! It's what you do best!
