Star Trek - Deep Space Nine Quotes
Lwaxana Troi: Zanthi Fever?!? Oh, that- that's ridicu- that's impossible. That only affects older Betazoids.
Julian Bashir: Well, that may be, but according to my tests, you show all the symptoms. Zanthi Fever is a virus which affects the empathic abilities of um... mature Betazoids. It causes them to project their emotions onto others.
Benjamin Sisko: Then Mrs. Troi's amorous feelings for... [knowing smile] someone on the station were being passed along to the people around her.
Julian Bashir: Not everyone, only those within close proximity to her when she had an attack; and even then, there would have had to have been some pre-existing latent attraction.
Benjamin Sisko: [concerned] You're saying Dax--
Julian Bashir: Only on a subconscious level. Best not think about it too much, if you ask me.
Lwaxana Troi: I'm terribly sorry, Commander. I hope I haven't caused too much trouble.
Benjamin Sisko: I'm sure no permanent harm was done. Right, Doctor?
Julian Bashir: A simple wide-spectrum anti-viral agent should cure Mrs. Troi, and as for everyone else, well, they'll be back to normal in a day or two. Excuse me. [to Sisko] I promised Nerys that I'd meet her in her quarters this evening.
Benjamin Sisko: [stopping him] I think you ought to postpone that visit... for a day or two.
Julian Bashir: [disappointed sigh]

Miles O'Brien: If you hadn't seen your wife and child for two months, you'd be irascible too.
Julian Bashir: Well, believe me, I'm looking forward to Keiko and Molly's visit as much as you are.

Julian Bashir: How many games of raquetball have we played in the last two months?
Miles O'Brien: I don't know. Fifteen, maybe twenty.
Julian Bashir: Try seventy. I've been keeping track of that, too, and do you know what all those games have proved to me? That I'm a poor substitute for your wife.

Benjamin Sisko: I finally realized that it wasn't Starfleet that I was trying to get away from. I was trying to escape the pain I felt, after my wife's death. I thought I could take the uniform, wrap it around the pain and toss them both away. But it doesn't work like that. Running may help for a little while, but sooner or later the pain catches up with you, and the only way to get rid of it is to stand your ground and face it.

Odo: Come on, Quark, move it along, you should be in the emergency shelter by now.
Quark: I'm not going to any emergency shelter! This is my bar and I'm going to defend it.
Odo: Really? And how do you plan to do that?
Quark: With this. (holds up a closed box)
Odo: You're going to hit them with a box?
Quark: No, this is my disruptor pistol, the one I used to carry back in the old days when I was serving on that Ferengi freighter.
Odo: I thought you were the ship's cook.
Quark: That's right, and every member of that crew thought he was a food critic. If the Klingons try to get through these doors, I'll be ready for them.
(He opens the box, which is empty save for a note. Odo takes it out.)
Odo: (reads aloud) "Dear Quark, I used parts of your disruptor to fix the replicators, will return them soon - Rom."
