Star Trek - Deep Space Nine Quotes

Benjamin Sisko: We've had a year to prepare this station for a Dominion attack, and we're more than ready.
Gowron: (laughs) You're like a toothless old grishna cat, trying to frighten us with your roar!
Benjamin Sisko: I assure you, this old cat may not be as toothless as you think. Right now I've got five thousand photon torpedoes ready to launch. If you don't believe me, feel free to scan the station.
[Martok and Gowron look across the bridge to their sensor officer, who nods.]
Martok: It's a trick! An illusion created by thoron fields and duranium shadows.
Benjamin Sisko: It's no illusion.
Gowron: We shall see. (in Klingon) Today is a good day to die!

Gowron: Your shields are down, your station boarded, and more Klingon ships are on their way! Surrender while you can!
Benjamin Sisko: I don't think so. My shields are holding, your boarding parties are contained, and my reinforcements are closer than yours.

TV Show: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Benjamin Sisko: (referring to the Federation reinforcements) So what do you want me to tell them? To stand down or come in firing?
Gowron: ...It is we who shall stand down.
Martok: Agh Dogh!
Gowron: Enough! I do not intend to hand victory to Dominion! But hear this. You have sided against us in battle! And THIS we do not forgive or forget!

Benjamin Sisko: I'm no writer, but if I were it seems to me I'd wanna poke my head up every once in a while and take a look around - see what's going on. It's life, Jake! You can miss it if you don't open your eyes!

TV Show: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Jake Sisko: This is the last chance I'm ever going to have to help you. [Jake fades in and out] [Pained] No!
Benjamin Sisko: Jake it's over. It's not going to work.
Jake: It has to.
Benjamin: Let go, Jake! If not for yourself, then for me. You still have time to make a better life for yourself. Promise me you'll do that. [Pleading] Promise me!

TV Show: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Jake: Read the dedication.
Benjamin: To my father, who's coming home. Thank you, but I, I don't understand.
Jake: It was me, it was me all along. I've been dragging you through time like an anchor and now it's time to cut you lose.
Benjamin: Jake, what are you saying?
Jake: It won't be long now.

TV Show: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Benjamin: Jake, you didn't have to do this, not for me.
Jake: For you, and the boy that I was. He needs you more than you know. Don't you see? We're going to get a second chance.

Miles O'Brien: Keiko only spends a few days at a time on the station. I'm the one living in those quarters, and if I want to set up a little workshop in the bedroom...
Julian Bashir: You set up a workshop in the bedroom?
Miles O'Brien: Yeah. I don't use it when she's visiting.
Julian Bashir: No, of course not.
Miles O'Brien: She says I'm trying to live like a bachelor again, that I'm expressing a subconscious desire to push her out of our quarters.
Julian Bashir: Now that is ridiculous.
Miles O'Brien: That's what I said!
Julian Bashir: I mean, if anything, by spending your free time in the bedroom, a place you intimately associate with Keiko, you are actually expressing...a desire to be closer to her...during her absence. It's quite touching, really.
Miles O'Brien: Exactly! Exactly! See, you understand. Why can't she see that? Why can't she be more like...
Julian Bashir: ...more like...?
Miles O'Brien: [Beat] ...uh, a man. Y-you know, more like a man.
Julian Bashir: So...you wish that Keiko...was a man.
Miles O'Brien: I wish I was on this trip with someone else, that's what I wish.

Bashir: What a lovely place. Smells like a garbage dump.
O'Brien: I'm sorry I couldn't find a nicer place to crash-land. Should we try again?

Kira Nerys: Tell me something... Who's Tora Ziyal? When I reactivated the Ravinok's computer, I downloaded the manifest. There were two civilians on board, in addition to the prisoners and the crew. Your... friend Tora Naprem and a Tora Ziyal, a thirteen year-old girl.
Gul Dukat: I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I told you she was Naprem's sister?
Kira Nerys: Ziyal is a Cardassian name.

Jadzia Dax: Quite an audience.
Lenara Kahn: Seems a shame to disappoint them. We should probably do something.
Jadzia Dax: We could get into a screaming match. Start throwing things at each other?
Lenara Kahn: Not bad. Or I suppose we could throw ourselves at each other...profess our undying love and complete disregard for Trill society?
Jadzia Dax: Doctor Pren would probably have a heart attack!

Kira Nerys: What do Klingons dream about?
Worf: Things that will send cold chills down your spine and wake you in the middle of the night. No, it is better that you do not know. Excuse me. [He leaves]
Kira Nerys: I can never tell when he's joking.
Lenara Kahn: Perhaps it is better that we 'do not know'.

TV Show: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Jadzia Dax: Everyone's trying to... look out for us. Protect us from ourselves. But in the end, all that matters is how we feel... and what we do about it. Because either way, we're the ones who have to live with the consequences.
Lenara Kahn: That's the tricky part though, isn't it? Living with the consequences. When I'm not with you, when you're not around, it's like part of me is missing. I want to be with you more than anything...But I don't think I can do this.
Jadzia Dax: Can you really walk away from me... from us? After all this time we're back together. Don't throw that away.
Lenara Kahn: I don't want to...Maybe I need more time...maybe if I go back to Trill for a while...think it over...I could always come back later...
Jadzia Dax: I wish I could believe that. But ultimately, it comes down to this... if you feel about me the way I feel about you... you won't get on that transport tomorrow. And if you do leave... I think we both know you're never coming back.

[Quark's cousin has tried to kill him earlier]

Quark: [as he's being dragged away] ROM, YOU IDIOT!
Rom: [grins] See you in a few weeks, brother!

Julian Bashir: You'll be fine. It's just a flesh wound.

Elim Garak: [Brightening] Doctor, I believe there's hope for you yet.
