Favorite DS9 one-liners?

[Oddish]

"The Sisko is necessary."

(doesn't seem like much, but presented in the context of one of the show's more mind blowing revelations)

 

[kkt]

Q: "Picard and his lackeys would have solved this technobabble hours ago."

Possibly the only time they've admitted to technobabble on the air

(Warning beeps)
EMH2: "Doctor, some...thing just went off line."
EMH: "...specifically?"
EMH2: "The secondary gyrodyne relays in the propulsion field intermatrix have depolarised."
EMH (rolling eyes): "In English!"
EMH2: "I'm just reading what it says here!"

 

[FPAlpha]

So many episodes with so many lines, i'll pick just one from one of the best Star Trek episodes ever ( not just DS9)

Sisko: "Because I can live with it. I can live with it."

 

[Gul Sengosts]

If I'm also allowed to stretch "one-liner" a little...

Garak (smiles): That's coercion, commander.
Sisko (pauses a moment to think, then gives him the calmest smile): Yes it is.

Vic: Your Klingon friend needs to stop demolishing the place. The musicians are threatening to quit!
Quark: They can't quit. They're holograms!
Vic: They don't know that!

 

[Farscape One]

Garak: "Commander... this is extortion."
Sisko: "Hmm... yes, it is."
"SECOND SKIN"

 

[Oddish]

That's also the one where Garak vaporized a guy and said: "A pity. I rather liked him."

"Poor Captain Sisko. I believe he was quite fond of that ship." - Weyoun

Some one-liners from women--

Lwaxana to Quark: I want this room sealed, and I want everyone in it strip-searched until you find my brooch!

Kira to Quark: If you don't take that hand off my hip, you'll never be able to raise a glass with it again.

Jadzia to Kira: All men are sentimental, they just cover it up with scowls and clenched jaws.

Kasidy Yates to Sisko, Jake: Reports of my death have been exaggerated, but not by much.

 

[Oddish]

"Sorry, but after seven lifetimes, the impersonal questions aren't much fun."

 

[Ragitsu]

"It is not my life to give up, Captain. And it never was."

Fanaticism in a nutshell.

 

[Oddish]

"Perhaps today IS a good day to die! PREPARE FOR RAMMING SPEED!!"
It's on the Defiant, so it's sort of DS9.

 

[Greatn]

Something to do with o”brien some rats

 

[Whizkid]

Dukat: "Only if it's necessary"

How calmly we discuss genocide!

Since Garak's "Especially...the lies" has already been mentioned, my second favourite line from DS9, Dukat vs. Weyoun, again like Garak, two recurring but not main characters:

The best one-liner in that scene is Sisko's facial expression after Weyoun drinks it.

"Quite toxic."

 

[ED-209]

Of course I'm paranoid everyone's trying to kill me!

Some Ferengi 1-liners --

Quark to Rom: When Morn leaves, it’s all over.

Ishka to Quark: You disapprove of me, you always have…. ‘Moogie, stop wearing clothes, Moogie, stop earning profit.’

Rom to Quark: If Brunt gets rid of me, then all your problems are solved---you always said you wanted to be an only child.

Zek to Quark: Actually I’ve lost my taste for beetle snuff…it might be fun for you and me, and but it’s no fun for the beetles.

Pel to Quark: Just remember one thing-- the bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.

Brunt to Quark: A child, a moron, a failure, and a psychopath…quite a little team you’ve put together.

Nog to Brunt: You couldn’t ambush a Bolian if he was blindfolded and tied to a tree.

Quark to Kira: That man loves me, couldn’t you see-- it was written all over his back.

You clearly like Armin Shimerman and Jeffrey Combs. As do I.
