• (Gaila) "Look out there. Millions and millions of stars. Millions upon millions of worlds. And right now, half of them are fanatically dedicated to destroying the other half. Now; do you think, if one of those twinkling little lights suddenly went out, anybody would notice? Suppose I offered you 10 million bars of gold-pressed latinum to help turn out one of those lights; would you really tell me to keep my money?"

Now, we may not be able to get you for selling weapons, but you so much as litter on the Promenade, and I will nail you to the wall."
• (Major Kira Nerys) "Something to look forward to."

• (Chief O'Brien) "You're sure you're up to it?"
• (Jake Sisko) "Absolutely. I babysat Ensign Pran's hatchlings a couple of times; made sure those little wings didn't get all tangled."

• (Jake Sisko) "Even better."

• (Gaila) "If he were a bit shorter and his teeth were a little sharper, he'd make a perfect Ferengi."
