Quotes 

• Captain Sisko : You want to know... you *really* want to know what my problem is? I'll tell you: Las Vegas 1962, that's my problem. In 1962, black people weren't very welcome there. Oh sure, they could be performers or janitors, but customers? Never.

  Kasidy Yates : Maybe that's the way it was in the real Vegas, but that is not the way it is at Vic's. I have never felt uncomfortable there, and neither has Jake.

  Captain Sisko : But don't you see? That's the lie. In 1962, the civil rights movement was still in its infancy. It wasn't an easy time for our people, and I'm not going to pretend that it was.

  Kasidy Yates : Baby - I know that Vic's isn't a totally accurate representation of the way things were, but... it isn't meant to be. It shows us the way things could've been - the way they should've been.

  Captain Sisko : We cannot ignore the truth about the past.

  Kasidy Yates : Going to Vic's isn't going to make us forget who we are or where we came from. What it does is reminds us that we are no longer bound by any limitations - except the ones we impose on ourselves.

• Kasidy Yates : There are times when I just can't figure you out.

  Captain Sisko : Well - maybe that's part of the attraction.

  Kasidy Yates : Believe that if you want to.

• Nog : The news just keeps getting better, doesn't it?

  Captain Sisko : What news?

  Colonel Kira : Oh... nothing, sir, we're, uh, talking about a holosuite program.

  Doctor Bashir : Vic Fontaine's hotel's just been bought by... gangsters.

  Captain Sisko : I see. When do you plan on going back to work?

• [last lines, both singing] 

  Vic Fontaine : Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum.

  Captain Sisko : You came along and everything started to hum.

  Vic Fontaine : Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come.

  Captain Sisko : The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?

  Vic Fontaine : You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine.

  Captain Sisko : Wait till the warm-up's underway. Wait till our lips have met.

  Vic Fontaine : And wait till you see that sunshine day, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

  Captain Sisko : The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?

  Vic Fontaine : The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine. Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround.

  Captain Sisko : You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground.

  Vic Fontaine : Now wait till you're locked in my embrace.

  Captain Sisko : Wait till I draw you near.

  Vic Fontaine : Wait till you see that sunshine place.

  Captain Sisko : Ain't nothin' like it here.

  Vic Fontaine : The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?

  Captain Sisko : The best is yet to come.

  Vic Fontaine : The best is yet to come.

  Captain Sisko , Vic Fontaine : The best is yet to come come the day you're mine!
