- Ensign Ezri Dax: [on traveling to Tyree] When do we leave?
- Sisko: Today.
- Ensign Ezri Dax: Great. It'll be just like old times. Except, different.
- [last lines]
- Ensign Ezri Dax: [arriving on DS9] Odo! Nerys, Julian, it's so good to see you. Worf, we need to talk!
- Doctor Bashir: Who's that?
- Jake Sisko: It's Dax.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Dax?
- Jake Sisko: That's right. Ezri Dax. Incredible, isn't it?
- Lt. Commander Worf: It cannot be.
- Quark: She's so much... shorter!
- Odo: Just when you thought things couldn't get more interesting...
- Quark: I don't believe it. Gagh for Breakfast, Gagh for Lunch, Gagh for Dinner... Am I the only one who thinks Klingon menus need to have more variety?
- Chief O'Brien: You want to complain about their Gagh, fine with me but don't complain about it when we're in the Mess Hall sitting at a table surrounded by a dozen Klingons.
- Quark: All right, all right I get the point.
- Doctor Bashir: Good.
- Quark: But I'm telling you, I think some of those Klingons agreed with me.
- [first lines]
- Sisko: Dax! I can't believe it!
- Ensign Ezri Dax: I can hardly believe it myself. But... I'm Dax. I mean, I'm not Jadzia Dax; I'm Ezri Dax. But I have all of Jadzia's memories - not to mention Lela's, Tobin's, Emony's, Audrid's, Joran's, Curzon's - am I forgetting anyone?
- Sisko: Torias.
- Ensign Ezri Dax: Right. You're probably asking yourself, "Who is this person, how did she get the symbiont, do I even want another Dax in my life, does she always talk this much?" These are all very good questions; and I wish I had good answers for you.
- Jake Sisko: How did you get the symbiont?
- Ensign Ezri Dax: It was an accident.
- Joseph Sisko: Some accident...
- Ensign Ezri Dax: I was on the Destiny when they brought the Dax symbiont aboard to be taken back to Trill. Halfway through the trip, the symbiont took a turn for the worse and it needed to be placed in a host immediately...
- Sisko: And you were the only Trill on board.
- Ensign Ezri Dax: [nods] I lay down on that operating table one person and I woke up a completely different person - well, I should say eight different people. I was not prepared for this at all. I mean you're supposed to get years of training and preparation before you get joined and all I got was a 15-minute lecture from the ship's surgeon and he wasn't even a Trill...
- Sisko: I'm starting to see the problem.
- [repeated line, in minor variations]
- Asylum announcer: [in Sisko's vision] Dr. Wykoff, please come to isolation ward 4.
- Sisko: I wish he'd get there.
- Ensign Ezri Dax: Who?
- Sisko: Dr. Wycoff. They're waiting for him in the isolation ward.
- Ensign Ezri Dax: You have definitely gotten stranger.
- Lt. Commander Worf: We are going to fly toward the molten heart of the sun, so close, that our ship will glow like a flaming comet.
- Doctor Bashir: Well, hopefully not *that* close.
- Admiral Ross: Facts are facts, Colonel. And there's no way the Bajorans can drive the Romulans off Derna, not without help, anyway; and the Federation isn't going to provide that help, not now. Is that clear?
- Colonel Kira: We're just not as important to the war effort as the Romulans.
- Admiral Ross: That's a harsh way to put it.
- Colonel Kira: The truth often is.
- Odo: [to Kira] I was hoping that our relationship was going to be a long and happy one, but I suppose I'm willing to settle for short and exciting.
- Quark: We're risking our lives to help Jadzia get into Sto-vo-kor. The very least Worf could do is show us some appreciation. Is it so hard to say 'thank you'?
- Doctor Bashir: Thank you.
- Quark: Nice try, Doctor, but I wanna hear it from him.
- Chief O'Brien: Don't do this, Quark.
- Quark: Do what? All I'm asking for is two little words.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Be quiet!
- Quark: That's two words all right. Just not the two I was hoping for.
- Admiral Ross: You can blink now, Colonel; you've won. Senator Cretak has agreed to remove the weapons from Derna.
- Colonel Kira: What changed her mind?
- Admiral Ross: I told her if she didn't remove them, I would.
- Colonel Kira: Then what changed your mind?
- Admiral Ross: You did. Remind me never to play poker with you.
- Sarah Sisko: The Sisko's path is a difficult one.
- Sisko: But why me? Why did it have to be me?
- Sarah Sisko: Because it could be no one else.
- Cretak: I would hate to see you throw your life away.
- Colonel Kira: Your concern is touching, Senator - but I'm not dead yet. End transmission.
- Odo: [off line] At least not for another six minutes.
- Dr. Wykoff: Mr. Russell, you promised not to write on the walls.
- Benny Russell: Nobody will give me any paper
- Dr. Wykoff: I thought we agreed that you weren't going to write at all, that you needed to rest.
- Benny Russell: I don't need to rest, I need to tell my stories!
- Dr. Wykoff: You were doing so well, Benny. Making real progress. We were all so proud of you.
- Benny Russell: I need to go home, I don't belong here.
- Dr. Wykoff: We'll send you home as soon as you're well.
- Benny Russell: I'm fine!
- Dr. Wykoff: You're not fine. People who are fine don't write on walls.
