- Damar: [after Worf has killed Weyoun 7] They'll just make another copy of him, you know. You should've killed me. There's only one Damar.
- Lt. Commander Worf: I will keep that in mind.
- [Damar helps Dax and Worf to escape]
- Lt. Commander Worf: Why are you doing this?
- Damar: I want you to give a message to the Federation: tell them they have an ally here on Cardassia.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Why should we trust you?
- Damar: You can either trust me, or you can stay here and be executed.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: I vote for Option One.
- Damar: You expect me to agree to territorial concessions, when I haven't even seen what they are?
- Weyoun: Damar, you are missing the point. We need the Breen to win this war. When it's over, there will be more than enough territories available to compensate Cardassia for the loss of a few minor planets.
- Damar: There're no minor planets in the Cardassian Union.
- Lt. Commander Worf: It appears, all we have left to do is to be executed.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: Sounds like a lazy day to me.
- [Dax and Worf are hung up upside down]
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: I hate to say it, but this is doing wonders for my back.
- Lt. Commander Worf: I doubt that is what our captors had in mind.
- Kai Winn Adami: If the Prophets wanted me to step down, surely they would've told me so.
- Colonel Kira: They don't always use words to make their wishes known. Sometimes they speak to us by touching our hearts, but... only you would know if they had done that.
- Kai Winn Adami: I remember when I first saw the gate of the Celestial Temple - I was on the Promenade. When it burst into view, this... whirlpool of color and light, the people all around me were in awe. They said they could feel the love of the Prophets washing over them... Do you know what I felt, Anjohl? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. But I smiled, and pretended I did, because it was expected of me. I've never admitted that to anyone.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: You have the biggest ego of any man I've ever known!
- Lt. Commander Worf: Considering how many men you have known, that is quite a statement.
- Female Shapeshifter: With the Breen at our side, the Federation will not be able to stand against us. They'll be erased from the face of the galaxy.
- Lt. Commander Worf: We must get back to the station and warn Starfleet about the Breen.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: You're right. There's just a few problems. We're on a Jem'Hadar ship, heading in the wrong direction, hanging upside down, and...
- Lt. Commander Worf: And what?
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: I think I'm getting space-sick.
- [Martok tells Sisko about the "war" he wages with his wife at home]
- Martok: Don't get me wrong, I would not trade Sirella for all the targs on Qo'noS. And, over the course of our marriage, I've won more than my fair share of battles between us; but in the end, I know - she... will win the war.
- Captain Sisko: I'll keep that in mind.
- Lt. Commander Worf: I realize, Jadzia saw physical love differently than I do. To her it could mean many things, but to me it was a deeply spiritual act. When I made love to you... my motives were not spiritual. It was an unworthy impulse.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: Worf, we're not gods or prophets. We're people. We make mistakes.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: [after reconciling with Worf] Friends?
- Lt. Commander Worf: And more.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: And more.
- Dukat: [as Anjohl Tennan] The Prophets have done nothing for you. During the Occupation, they turned their backs and let our people suffer. You've sacrificed everything for them, and how have they rewarded you? They've appointed an alien Emissary. They've rejected you at every turn. Even now, they won't speak to you.
- Kai Winn Adami: Solbor!
- Dukat: Shh! Listen to me, please! The Pah-wraiths will give you everything you've ever dreamt of - the power, the adoration of the people. In spite of your protestations of humility, that's what you really want, admit it. Stop pretending to be something you're not. Take what they're offering you.
- Kai Winn Adami: Get out!
- [last lines]
- Kai Winn Adami: I'm a patient woman; but I have run out of patience. I will no longer serve gods who give me nothing in return. I'm ready to walk the path the Pah-wraiths have laid out for me.
- Dukat: [as Anjohl Tennan] I'll walk with you; and no one will be able to stand against us.
- Kai Winn Adami: Those who dare to try - the Federation and its vedek puppets, the false gods and their precious Emissary - they will all be swept aside like dead leaves before an angry wind.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: You know, Worf, I have had just about enough of your little Klingon aphorisms. The only reason I came on this mission was to save your miserable life, so the least you could do is stop acting like a self-righteous targ!
- Lt. Commander Worf: Your motives for rescuing me are not honorable.
- Lieutenant Ezri Dax: Do you really think that I would disobey orders and risk my life so that I could seduce you? I hate to burst your bubble, Worf, but it wasn't that good.
- [first lines]
- Weyoun: We will secure the prisoners below. They will share a cell. They may wish to physically comfort each other during the long trip back to Cardassia. I find interspecies mating rituals fascinating to watch.
- Dukat: [as Anjohl Tennan] Go. Crawl back to your Prophets, beg their forgiveness. Live the rest of your life in Sisko's shadow!
