Quotes
-
Admiral Ross : Inter arma enim silent leges.
Dr. Julian Bashir : "In time of war, the law falls silent." Cicero. So, is that what we have become - a 24th century Rome, driven by nothing other than the certainty that Caesar can do no wrong?
-
Elim Garak : [rolling his eyes] The eternal optimist!
Dr. Julian Bashir : Guilty as charged.
Elim Garak : How sad. I must tell you, I'm disappointed at hearing you mouth the usual platitudes of peace and friendship regarding an implacable foe like the Romulans. But I live in hope that one day, you'll come to see this universe for what it truly is, rather than what you'd wish it to be.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Then I shall endeavor to become more cynical with each passing day. Look gift horses squarely in the mouth, and find clouds in every silver lining.
Elim Garak : [smiling] If only you meant it.

[Dr. Bashir has given a medical presentation]
Sloan : Very enlightening. You almost made it comprehensible.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Next time, I'll do the lecture with hand puppets, just for you.
-
Dr. Julian Bashir : I don't believe we've been introduced.
Koval : Koval.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Koval : Why?
Dr. Julian Bashir : Well, you've got me there. It's just a simple form of expression, I suppose.
Koval : And like most Human expressions completely devoid of meaning.
-
Dr. Julian Bashir : You're taking quite a risk. I could have a security team here in thirty seconds.
Sloan : I suspect you'd be unable to communicate with anyone outside of this room.
Dr. Julian Bashir : I could scream for help.
Sloan : Possible, but uncharacteristic. I mean, screaming for help, that's... that's too undignified for you. But don't let me stop you. I enjoy being wrong.
-
Dr. Julian Bashir : [referring to Cretak and Koval] I take it you two don't get along.
Cretak : We have different views.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Which are?
Cretak : [smiles] State secrets.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Naturally.
-
Dr. Julian Bashir : How many times do I have to tell you, Sloan? I don't work for you.
Sloan : You will. It's in your nature. You are a man who loves secrets - medical, personal, fictional. And I am a man of secrets.

[last lines]
Bashir : Should I feel sorry for you? Should I be weeping over the burden you're forced to carry in order to protect the rest of us?
Sloan : It is an honour to know you, Doctor. Good night.
[He beams out]
Bashir : [Activating com panel] Bashir to Security.
Odo : [Over com panel] Odo here.
Bashir : Never mind, My mistake.
