Favorite DS9 one-liners?

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

(Indicates her expanding belly) "This is still your fault." - Kira, to Bashir, in "Apocalypse Rising".

It's a lot funnier when you recognize the doble entendre.

 

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

"People can find a way to justify any action, no matter how evil." - Kira Nerys

"I thought I'd say hello first, and then take the office. But we can do this in any order you'd like." - Ben Sisko

 

[somebuddyX]

Quark : Must have taken a wrong turn.
Captain Sisko : It looks that way.

And Nog whispering "Exploding?" in "For the Uniform"

 

[FanST]

• Omet'iklan : I am First Omet'iklan, and I am dead. As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Jem'Hadar. Remember: victory is life.
  
  Jem'Hadar : Victory is life!
  
  [the Jem'Hadar march out]
  
  Weyoun : Such a delightful people.
  
  [O'Brien turns to face the assembled Federation officers]
  
  O'Brien : I am Chief Miles Edward O'Brien. I am very much alive, and I intend to stay that way.
  
  Sisko : Amen! Let's get it done!

 

[The Knappos]

“Hmph” Odo

(Indicates her expanding belly) "This is still your fault." - Kira, to Bashir, in "Apocalypse Rising".

For those who don't know, Siddig and Visitor were a couple at the time (Obviously you know)

 

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

Yup. And Siddig was indeed the baby's father. I couldn't resist the reference.

 

[warp-coil]

[Grilka] I really am very grateful for all you’ve done, Quark. That is why I am going to make you take your hand off my thigh instead of shattering every bone in your body.

 

[kkt]

"... or I will come to Quark's, and I promise you I will have fun!"

 

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

Lol... you too, huh?

 

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

A funny one from "Accession"

QUARK: "Congratulations. I remember when my nephew Nog was a baby. Cutest thing you ever saw. You know babies. Every little thing they pick up goes straight into their ears. I used to love reading to him. You know, See Brak acquire. Acquire, Brak, acquire."

And a more serious one:
KIRA: "That's the thing about faith. If you don't have it, you can't understand it, and if you do, no explanation is necessary."

And an exchange:
(Kira puts a clay 'bird' on Sisko's table)
KIRA: "I want you to have this. It's an original Kira Nerys. Could be veeery valuable one day."
SISKO: "I hear she didn't make many."

They should do a line of fake kids books like "See Brak Acquire" and "The Little Runabout That Could"

 

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

Translated from the original Ferengi by Lebos, son of Jib. Kind of like "Charlie the Choo Choo", from the Dark Tower series...

Maybe a few Flotter stories as well, of course designed to teach little ones sciences. If 9-year-olds are expected to take calculus in the Trek-verse, I expect preschoolers are taught the water cycle and forest regrowth.

From "The Ascent":
QUARK: "I can't believe it. I've been walking for three days and I haven't seen a single beetle. I could really go for a beetle right now. Any kind of beetle, just as long as it had a little meat on it."

 

[Ragitsu]

Who looked better in a silver futurcoat: Quark or Odo?

 

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

I kind of liked Quark's silver pants and serape look.

 

[Ragitsu]

I kind of liked Quark's silver pants and serape look.

He truly was a magnificent Ferengi.

 

[JediKnightButler]

"Trust is earned, not given away."
Worf, "The Wounded"

One of his most spot on pieces of dialogue.

Really made Troi look naive by comparison, especially after the Cardassians later join the Dominion

 

[at Quark's]

Worf: We do not discuss it with outsiders.

<About the discrepancy between TOS and TNG era Klingons. As if the writers were telling us to stop being obsessed about such irrelevant details and just go with it while acknowledging the discrepancy at the same time. Brilliant line.>

From the same episode, even though it's not really a single one liner, I enjoyed the scene where Bashir tries to convince himself he must meet Lt. Watley the next day or else he'll never become his own great-grandfather, and hence never be born. The thought of which seems to amuse O'brien (or he was just laughing about Bashir's bizarre rationalisation).

 

[Crazy 4 Xmas Lights]

Here's one...

QUARK: "It's like I said. The more things change, the more they stay the same."

Colm Meaney's delivery of "Are we ever!" tickles me.
