ROY: These Cardassians, I like the way you describe them, especially the neck ridges. I'm going to do some sketches for you to take a look at. Make a nice cover.

DARLENE: Right away, Mister Pabst.
HERBERT: Douglas, you're not going to stand there and tell us you don't like this story.
BENNY: Why not?
PABST: Oh, come on, Benny. Your hero's a Negro captain, the head of a space station, for Christ's sake.
BENNY: What's wrong with that?
PABST: People won't accept it. It's not believable.
(Best line of the whole episode)
HERBERT: And men from Mars are?
HERBERT: And men from Mars are?
PABST: Stay out of this, Herb. Look, Benny. I'm a magazine editor. I am not a crusader. I'm not here to change the world. I'm here to put out a magazine, that's my job. That means I have to answer to the publisher, the national distributors, the wholesalers, and none of them are going to want to put this story on the newsstand. For all we know, it could cause a race riot.
KAY: Oh. He's angry now.
PABST: Herb's been angry ever since Joseph Stalin died.
HERBERT: What's that supposed to mean?
PABST: You know exactly what it means.
HERBERT: YOU CALLING ME A RED?!
BENNY: Easy, easy.
JULIUS: Calm down, dare boy. We're writers, not Vikings.
