SISKO: Do you know what the trouble is?
"The Maquis" Line-by-Line!

KIRA: No.
SISKO: The trouble is Earth.
KIRA: Really?
SISKO: On Earth there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet headquarters and you see paradise. Well, it's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the Demilitarised zone, all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints, just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive whether it meets with Federation approval or not.
KIRA: Makes sense to me.
KIRA: Legate Parn's ship just put in at docking bay five. Maybe you'd like to give the same speech to him.
ODO (over comm): Odo to Sisko.
ODO (over comm): I think you'd better get down to Security. I've caught one of the Vulcan's accomplices.
ODO: Really? Then perhaps you could explain why the two of you were spending so much time together.
ODO: Do you expect us to believe that a Vulcan would be interested in you for your lobes?
SISKO: Embarrassment is going to be the least of your problems unless you tell me what kind of business arrangement you had with this woman.
ODO: Save the excuses, Quark. Just tell us what you were up to.
