Favorite DS9 one-liners?

[HIjol]

For the Troika Win!!!

 

[Gilora]

Worf: What about Garak?

Captain Sisko: I want him back too. I suppose I don't have to tell you to keep a close eye on him.

Worf: At the first sign of betrayal I will kill him, but I promise to return the body intact.

Captain Sisko: I assume that's a joke?

Worf: We will see.

 

[PoorSailorsAirline]

Quark to Garak, in Garak's shop during a fitting: "Rudeness will get you nowhere, I don't need another waiter." (S4/E21 For the Cause)

(*Come to think of it, that entire Quark/Garak/Kira exchange was pretty gold as far as I'm concerned.)

 

[Anthony Williams]

Garak's reply to Bashir after the Doctor recites the 'boy who cried wolf' story

"A little bit graphic for children don't you think"

 

[JoseNoodles]

Garak: All during the years of my exile I imagined what it would be like to come home. I even thought of living in this house again, with Mila. But now she's dead, and this house is about to be reduced to a pile of rubble. My Cardassia is gone.
Kira: Then fight for a new Cardassia.
Garak: I have an even better reason, Commander: revenge.
Kira: That works too.

 

[The Knappos]

99.9% of this thread is Garak. And that’s ok

 

[Anthony Williams]

Kira to Dukat who claimed he could make life very pleasant for her on Terok Nor "You can start by doing something about your breath"

Kira to Dukat who claimed he could make life very pleasant for her on Terok Nor "You can start by doing something about your breath"

For just a second, there, I read that as “Tech Noir”…

 

[Photon]

"Maybe you should talk to Worf"

 

[HIjol]

Can’t remember the exact lines (without looking them up) but I remember a couple by Jake and one by Quark, I think, quoting some Picard lines from “First Contact”

Always like me some Crossover!!!

Quark: No one's going to want to place bets on how long someone's going to sit around in the dark.

 

[Ragitsu]

"We are, but you get on my nerves and I don't like your hat."

How much of that was the S-dude versus "Gabriel Bell"?

We never saw enough of the real Gabriel Bell to know how closely Sisko was impersonating him.

I ordered a glass of prune juice in the mess hall... ..THIS is what it came in.

MUG: "Come to Quarks, Quarks is fun..."

And then Kira grabs him by the lapels and utters my very favorite line from all of DS9, which yes, I posted on Page 1, but rates a revisit:

KIRA: "If all of your 'little advertisements' aren't purged from our system by the time I get back from the Gamma Quadrant, I will come to Quarks. And believe me... I will have fun."

Now I'm not so sure which one is my favourite.

Granted, but I wondered if Sisko was expressing his actual opinion or if he put in a little extra to sell the tough guy persona (affectation?).

 

[Taejang]

Quark:
"I've fought against it. I really have! But living with those people, day in and day out... being exposed to their ethics... their morality... it's like I've been brainwashed!"

 

[Tinker Garak Soldier Spy]

"The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination."

 

[StarMan]

Garak: "I always hope for the best. Experience, unfortunately, has taught me to expect the worst."

Got a lot of mileage out of that one IRL.
