Most Awesome DS9 Quotes

"By Inferno's Light"

Bashir: "We'll have to come up with a new plan."
Garak: "That won't be necessary, the original plan will work. I just have to finish what I started. After all, the verse about the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger would ruin General Martok's song."
 
"A true warrior has no need to exaggerate his feats."
"You'd better hope that I exaggerate, or else when they start singing songs about this quest and come to your verse, it will be "and Worf came along.""
 
"We should rendezvous with the Federation task force in 48 hours."
"And then what?"
"And then we make the Dominion sorry they ever set foot in the Alpha Quadrant."
"Cadet, you took the words right out of my mouth."
 
"we are on the same team but you get on my nerves... and i don't like your hat!" Sisko (Past Tense)

i also have a fond spot for...

"we're helpless, we're harmless, we just want to sell you things" - Quark (Little Green Men)
 
Or how about Dulmur, Lucsly and Sisko discussing "him"


"Be specific, captain – which Enterprise? There have been five."
"Six."
"This was the first Enterprise, Constitution-class."
"His ship."
"James T. Kirk."
"The one and only!"
"Seventeen separate temporal violations – the biggest file on record."
"The man was a menace."
 
WEYOUN: Then let's just say I left Cardassia because my life was in danger.
ODO: From whom?
WEYOUN: Everyone.
ODO: Aren't you being a little paranoid?
WEYOUN: Of course I'm paranoid. Everyone's trying to kill me.

and

O'BRIEN: Well, people either love you or hate you.
BASHIR: Really?
O'BRIEN: I hated you when we first met.
BASHIR: I remember.
O'BRIEN: But now.
BASHIR: But now?
[pause]
O'BRIEN: Well, now I don't.
 
Just the other day I almost said to a friend I was lending some DVDs (ALMOST! it's so hard to be rude to pretty girls.) to: "Take as long as you want, why even a week."

And I try to insert the maxim "Death to the Opposition" into any as many nearly appropriate conversations as possible, which again doesn't go down well with pretty girls.

on my DS9 re-watch i am just in the middle of Looking For Par'Mach In All The Wrong Places but had to pause and comment on here after Quark utter the best line of the season so far...

"war, what is it good for? if you ask me, absolutely nothing"

:guffaw:

delivered completely straight too, Armin Shimmerman is brilliant!! :)
 
Before I offer a couple quotes, I must say that this thread proves how awesome the writing was on DS9. Would it even be possible to have a thread like this for Voyager? There's nowhere near the quality quotes like on DS9!

Garak: "Lying is a skill like any other. And if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to practice constantly."

From "Tears of the Prophets" there are two exchanges I love.

Weyoun: Pah-wraiths and Prophets. All this talk of gods strikes me as nothing more than superstitious nonsense.
Damar: You believe that the Founders are gods, don't you?
Weyoun: That's different.
Damar: [laughs] In what way?
Weyoun: The Founders *are* gods.


Letant (to another Romulan): Klingons can be quite entertaining, can't they? Every Romulan zoo should have a pair.
 
"By Inferno's Light"

Bashir: "We'll have to come up with a new plan."
Garak: "That won't be necessary, the original plan will work. I just have to finish what I started. After all, the verse about the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger would ruin General Martok's song."


This is the best. I love Garak anyway, but the "Cardassian who panicked" bit is hilarious.

This and Weyoun's "Time to start packing". Hehe.

Weyoun and Garak got the best lines in the show.
 
The Ascent:
Quark: You remember back there, when I told you I hated you, and you told me you hated me?
Odo: Vividly!
Quark: I just wanted you to know -I meant every word of it.
Odo: So did

Hah, brilliant indeed :)
 
In that vain I find this remark by Damar very amusing indeed.

"He should get in the mood major, we're on a mission of peace!"

delivered in tone better suited for a declaration of war...:rommie:
 
Best.moment.ever is when Damar arrests Kira and the lot on DS9, says "I'm sure you've got nothing to hide", gives Leeta's really considerable cleavage a demonstrative glance and adds "you certainly don't". Hehe.

It's juvenile, but it makes me giggle every time I watch it. :p
 
I think Zek did something similar in "Profit And Lace": When Ishka claims that since Leeta's married to Rom, she's broke--Zekky takes a good look, and says, "She doesn't look broke....:evil:"

With Damar, though, it's even funnier--since the character, until around that time, had been a complete straight-man to Dukat. Zek we know is a Dirty Ol' Man.



But anyway--perhaps anything said by Leck the Eliminator in "The Magnificent Ferengi" is awesome. He's like a Quentin Tarantino character--you know, "You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize!", "Oh, I'm sorry--did I break your concentration?", etc.

My favorites: "Now--who do you want...eliminated?" "It's not that kind of mission." "Then why call an eliminator?"

And: "And YOU SHOT MOOGIE!" "I saw we weren't going to rescue her, so I put her out of her misery...."

I just remembered this exchange between Kira and Bashir...

"Don't forget, this is still your fault."
"My fault?"
"You performed the transfer from Keiko to me."
"After you volunteered."
"After you put the idea in my head."

It's even funnier with the knowledge that in real life, Nana Visitor was pregnant with Alexander Siddig's child.

I agree, Rush, Leck is awesome.
