Quotes 

• [Dax is trying to work, but Virak'kara, a Jem'Hadar, is staring at her] 

  Jadzia Dax : Am I really that interesting? You've been standing there staring at me for the last two hours.

  Virak'kara : You are part of my combat team. I must learn to understand your behaviour - anticipate your actions.

  Jadzia Dax : There must be something you'd rather do. Maybe get some sleep?

  Virak'kara : We don't sleep.

  Jadzia Dax : How about getting something to eat?

  Virak'kara : The white is the only thing we need.

  Jadzia Dax : [pondering]  Don't sleep... don't eat... What do you do for relaxation?

  Virak'kara : Relaxation would only make us weak.

  Jadzia Dax : [aghast]  You people are no fun at all - I'm glad I'm not a Jem'Hadar woman.

  Virak'kara : There are no Jem'Hadar women.

  Jadzia Dax : [sardonically]  So what do you do? Lay eggs?

  Virak'kara : [proudly]  Jem'Hadar are bred in birthing chambers. We are able to fight within three days of our emergence.

  Jadzia Dax : Lucky you. So let me get this straight: no sleep - no food - no women. No wonder you're so angry. After thirty or forty years of that I'd be angry too.

  Virak'kara : No Jem'Hadar has ever lived thirty years.

  Jadzia Dax : [puzzled]  How old are you?

  Virak'kara : I am eight.

  Jadzia Dax : I would have guessed at least fifteen.

  Virak'kara : Few Jem'Hadar live that long. If we reach twenty, we're considered honored elders.

  [leans in] 

  Virak'kara : How old are you?

  Jadzia Dax : I stopped counting at three hundred.

  Virak'kara : [amazed]  You don't look it.

  Jadzia Dax : Thank you.

• Sisko : There'll be a joint briefing session at 1900 hours.

  O'Brien : ...followed by a get-to-know-you buffet at 1930.

  Jadzia Dax : And I forgot my dress uniform.

• Worf : We consider Klingon women our partners in battle. They're the mothers of our children.

  Jadzia Dax : And a lot of fun at parties too.

  Worf : True.

• [O'Brien has recorded a potential good-bye message to his family] 

  O'Brien : Every time I record one of these, I think... this is it. This is the one they're gonna end up hearing.

  Jadzia Dax : It'll never happen.

  O'Brien : What makes you say that?

  Jadzia Dax : Because, when you've lived eight lifetimes, you develop certain instincts. And my instincts tell me that you, Miles Edward O'Brien, are going to live to be 140 and die in bed, surrounded by family and friends.

  O'Brien : Do you really believe that?

  Jadzia Dax : Do you?

  O'Brien : I'd like to.

  Jadzia Dax : That's all that matters.

  O'Brien : [after a pause]  Well, just to be on the safe side, maybe you'd better enter this into the ship's log anyway.

  Jadzia Dax : I'll put it right alongside my message to my mother.

  O'Brien : You record these too?

  Jadzia Dax : Doesn't everyone?
