Shadowplay (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) Quotes

• (Colyus) "We just have to get used to the fact that we're holograms."
• (Rurigan) "We're alive and we have our families back, that's the only thing that counts."
• (Colyus) "I wonder who created all this."
• (Odo) "Whoever it was did a fine job."
• (Colyus) "They did, didn't they?"

• (Rurigan) "I was happy living on Yadera Prime; that is, until the Dominion took over, and changed our whole way of life. And I realized one morning that I didn't really belong there anymore. So I came here, and I used a holo-generator to recreate all the things that I'd lost. I've lived here in my village for nearly thirty years. I've watched the people marry, have children, grow old. And sometimes I even forgot that they were holograms. But it's over. It's over; and I would appreciate it if you'd take me back to Yadera Prime."
• (Odo) "But -- what about the villagers, what about your granddaughter?"
• (Rurigan) "She's not real."
• (Odo) "Technically I suppose you're right. Maybe, by our definition, Taya is not real; her memories are stored in a computer, her body is made up of omicron particles. But who is to say that our definition of life is the only valid one?"

• (Odo) "She thinks. She feels."

• (Taya) "-- Then the Great Minra said to the evil changeling, "Maybe you can turn into a mountain, or a Ghergher Beast, or a tornado. Those are big things, and big things are easy. I bet you can't turn into something small; like a loaf of greenbread." And the changeling said, "Yes I can", and he did. And do you know what happened?"
• (Odo) "The Great Minra gobbled him up."
• (Taya) "How'd you know that?"
• (Odo) "The changeling in your story wasn't very smart."
• (Taya) "Could you turn into a loaf of greenbread?"
• (Odo) "I suppose I could."
• (Taya) "Show me."
• (Odo) "And let you gobble me up? I don't think so."

• (Odo) "I saw the way you held her hand when she was sad. I saw the way you tried to comfort her when she was frightened."
• (Rurigan) "I-I didn't want her to get hurt."
• (Odo) "If she's not real, what does it matter?"
• (Rurigan) "It matters. It matters to me."
• (Odo) "Why should it matter to you if a hologram cries?"
• (Rurigan) "Because I love her."

• (Quark) "Life is full of disappointments."

• (Major Kira) "You follow springball?"
• (Vedek Bareil) "Religiously, er, if you'll pardon the expression. I even used to play a little."

• (Major Kira) "Quark, get this into that little twisted brain of yours. If you thought you were gonna get away with anything while Odo's gone, think again. I'm watching you."
• (Quark) "Major. You make it sound like you don't like me."
• (Major Kira) "Don't like you? You collaborated with the Cardassians, you cheat your customers, and you're a danger to the station. I don't just not like you. I despise you."
• (Quark) "Sorry I mentioned it."

• (Major Kira) "By the way, Prylar Rhit tells me that you encouraged him to invite Bareil onto the station."
• (Quark) "That a crime?"
• (Major Kira) "Not at all. I just wanted to thank you. I found him very --"
• (Major Kira) "-- diverting."
• (Quark) "Not diverting enough."

• (Odo) "Don't you see? She's real to you; and she's real to me too, they're all real. And you can't turn your back on them now."

• (Jake Sisko) "Dad -- I don't want to join Starfleet."
• (Commander Sisko) "Since when?"
• (Jake Sisko) "S-snce forever. Starfleet is too much like you. I need to find what's me."

• (Taya) "Your face isn't so scary, once you get used to it."

• (Taya) "What happened to your face?"
• (Odo) "Nothing happened to my face; I'm a shapeshifter. I just don't do faces very well."

• (Jake Sisko) "It's kinda fun working with Chief O'Brien. But it would be better if I knew what I was doing."

• (Taya) "Thank you for bringing my mother back. I hope you find your parents too."

• (Taya) "If I were a changeling, I'd change shapes all the time. Everyone'd want to be my friend."
• (Odo) "I wish it were that easy."
• (Taya) "Why wouldn't it be?"
