Situations where you could quote deep space nine

When your on a quantum physics degree and you want to write your dissertation on quarks and your lecturer asks why:

"I always investigate Quark"
 
When a new shopping centre opens in your area:

"This will soon become a leading centre of trade and commerce, and to [insert company name here] one of our most important posts
 
If you're trying to corral a group of orphans back to the orphanarium you could say "Move Along Home!!!"
 
When someone is being testy with you: Grab their ear and say in a whispery voice, "Your pagh is strong. Breathe! Breathe."
 
I often quote this line to someone who is upset at family or friends:

"I can't forgive what you did, but I can try to forget. To put it aside as if it never happened."
 
Whenever I'm tired and have my eyes closed and someone asks me if I'm sleeping or tired I just say that I was checking my eyelids for holes.
 
I use a few all fo the time:

1. That's what you get for missing staff meetings (which was first used in TSFS, Sisko)
2. That's why you're such a good parent... you know all the cliches by heart. (Kasidy Yates)
3. A deal is a deal. (Quark quoting the ROA's)
4. It seemed like a good idea at the time.(Gul Dukat)
5. Paranoid is when you think people are trying to kill you... people are trying to kill me. (Garak, but I paraphrase and use "get" instead of "kill")
6. And this is my favorite and I've only been able to use it once:

Quark: Who knows more about woment than me?
Bashir: Everyone. (An idiot friend of mine said the Quark line once and I was lucky enough to be able to jump on it with the Bashir line)

LOL!!!

I went for a walk with my partner at the weekend and she wanted to sit at every bench we walked passed and I said:

"Is it really necessary to rest so often?"
 
I was having an argument with a group of colleagues and it was threatening to get violent. One of my friends turned to me and said: "I wish he'd just hit me and get it over with" - I couldn't resist retorting;

"War may be our only hope. One thing is for sure, we're losing the peace."
 
I've found Sisko in angry mode can be used an awful lot when you decide to end an argument:

"LISTEN TO ME, if you have something to say to me... SAY IT" very important to over-pronounce every word :p

"DAMMIT! If you were still a man...!" (Pretty sure that can land you in trouble though)

"You...are...PATHETIC!" and "You have a TALENT for PICKing the LOSing SIDE!"

"Nobody touches my peppers!"

"KAPLEEEE" (in Emissary) I found out after about 14 years that he's actually shouting "HELP MEEEE", and that the Bolian dude isn't actually called Kaplee :(

Non Siskoisms, there's always a situation to slip one of these in a conversation:
"FOR CARDASSIAAAAAA" crops up an awful lot in my day, though I'm not sure why.

"DEATH TO THE ENEMY" (Worf - Take Me Out To The Holosuite)

"Hew-mons :wtf:"

"Well why don't you fix it, dear fellow, dear fellow, well why don't you fix, BEFORE I GO MAD?! hm-hm, hm-hm?"

"That's a stoopid question."

End every sentence with Dukat's "I vow this with my life's blood!"

One I've found for getting out of conversations that are boring or awkward: "WHOOSH! ... I'm invisible!"

Yes... I've noticed that actually. I find myself shouting that in crowded places often. But then, again, my shows rub off on me. I consistently use the word "frack" now that I've started BSG.
 
I love quoting two lines mentioned by the OP
It's a FAAAAAAAAKE!!!

And
"It is REAL, It is REAL!!!!"

But one that I would quote if I was a woman was something Kira said to Quark once.
"Take your hand off my hip or I'll remove it from your body".
 
Working in Real Estate, I've aften been tempted to respond to any wide eyed exclamation of 'land' with 'Dirt'.
 
When someone you really intensely dislike is seriously getting on your nerves and won't shut up...

"I have no interest in speaking to you, or in listening to your witless prattle! So stay out of my way! Or you'll regret the day you ever met me!"
