Sisko: "I njever know what to say in these blasted dating videos."
O'Brien (filming): "Sir, just try to be yourself."
Sisko: "Hi, I'm Benjamin Sisko, a Starfleet officer. I recently became single when I left my wife for dead on my previous command which blew up. I'm not perfect. I've lied. I've cheated. I've bribed a man to cover up the crimes of other men. I'm an accessory to murder. But perhaps my biggest flaw of all: I've been able to live with it. Easily. Hell, if I had to do it all over again, I would. Why? Reasons.
But other than that, I'm a good guy. Sure my dating choices have been poor, sure I'm the target of galactic murder, sure I'm always moody, but what man doesn't have his flaws.
So, if you'd like to imperil your life on a regular basis and have uncomfortable nights of my own personal inner rage spewed forth in angry rantings, while occassionally bugging out because of war, while getting to know my teenage son who never got over his mother's death, then I'm your man.
How's that, cheif?"
O'Brien: "Ahhh ... that was
okay, but could you make it a little less life-threatening and more desirable to those who want a stable long life?"
Sisko: "UGH, okay. Let me know when you're ready."
O'Brien: "Okay, ready."
Sisko: "Hi, I'm Benjamin Sisko and I'm single, employed, and have goals. Pick me and your days will be filled with unexpected surprises."
O'Brien: "Better."
