The Ascent (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) Quotes

• (Quark) "This whole runabout is alive with annoying little noises."

• (Quark) "You know, Odo, I used to think all your problems stemmed from the fact that you were a Changeling; isolated from your own kind, forced to live among strangers who didn't understand you. You couldn't eat, you couldn't drink, you couldn't sleep, you couldn't make love. Was it any wonder you had such a bad disposition? But you're not a Changeling anymore. You're one of us. Life is yours for the taking, all you have to do is reach out and grab it. But do you? No. Because Solid or Changeling, you're still a miserable, self-hating misanthrope. That's who you are, and that's who you'll always be."

• (Odo) "I was afraid you'd say that."

• (Odo) "You can annoy me, bait me, question my very existence, but in the end, we both know I've won. Because when all is said and done, I'll be heading back to Deep Space Nine, and you'll be spending the rest of your life in a Federation penal colony."

• (Quark) "I'm not trying to rescue you, I'm taking you along as emergency rations. If you die, I'm gonna eat you."
• (Odo) "You're joking."
• (Quark) "Waste not -- want not."

• (Quark) "My brother will get the bar. My nephew will be completely corrupted by the Federation, and become a Starfleet captain. And my bones will lie here and freeze, unsold, and unmourned."
