- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: You know, for a Klingon who was raised by Humans, wears a Starfleet uniform and drinks prune juice, you're pretty attached to tradition. But that's okay - I like a man riddled with contradictions.
- Doctor Bashir: [running a medical scanner over Quark] A compound fracture of the right radius, 2 fractured ribs, torn ligaments, strained tendons, numerous contusions, bruises, and scratches. What have you been doing?
- Quark: You mean,
- [trades a Look with Grilka]
- Quark: what have *we* been doing?
- Doctor Bashir: [realization dawning] Never mind. I don't need that particular image running around in my head. I'll just treat you.
- Doctor Bashir: [the door opens, and a battered Dax and Worf enter] What happened to you two?
- Lt. Commander Worf: We, um...
- [looks to Dax]
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Well, um... if you must know...
- Doctor Bashir: No! No, I don't need that image, either. In fact, I'm going to stop asking that question altogether! People can come in, I will treat them, and that's all!
- Grilka: Why do you pursue me?
- Quark: I only pursue those things I wish to acquire.
- Grilka: "Acquire"? Now you sound like a Ferengi again.
- Quark: I *am* a Ferengi. That means I have a talent for appreciating objects of great value. And I believe... you may be worth more than all the latinum in the quadrant.
- Grilka: My Kahless.
- Quark: My Lukara.
- Quark: Her bodyguard was giving me threatening looks all night.
- Lt. Commander Worf: That is to be expected. The idea of a Ferengi courting a great lady is... offensive.
- Quark: You know, it's attitudes like that that keep you people from getting invited to all the really good parties.
- Lt. Commander Worf: I am a fool.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: You're in love. Which, I suppose, is the same thing.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: What is it you see in her anyway? I mean, she's attractive, but other than that?
- Lt. Commander Worf: It is everything about her. The way she carries herself, confident and strong. She commands those around her. The proud tilt of her head, the way her face betrays none of her true feelings, the power of her voice. And her eyes, they're as hard as separ gemstones, and twice as sharp.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Sounds like you're describing a statue. What would you do with a woman like that? Put her up on a pedestal and clean her every week?
- Doctor Bashir: Bajoran women have been sneezing their way through pregnancy for over 100,000 years. You can't expect me to cure it overnight.
- Quark: So, what does a Klingon woman expect from a man? Are there any secret Klingon phrases I should know or do we just leap on each other like a pair of crazed voles?
- [Worf elaborates how to properly court Grilka]
- Quark: Then what?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Well, either she accepts your offer... or she has her bodyguard shatter every bone in your body.
- Quark: Sounds reasonable.
- [O'Brien and Kira have decided not to go to Kira's very romantic cottage on Bajor together]
- Chief O'Brien: Would've been nice.
- Major Kira: In another life.
- Chief O'Brien: Let's not even think about it.
- Major Kira: All right, let's not.
- [they both stay put staring at each other]
- Major Kira: Miles.
- Chief O'Brien: Yes, Nerys?
- Major Kira: Get out!
- Chief O'Brien: Right.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Worf, it sounds like you have a bad case of par'Mach.
- Captain Sisko: Is that contagious?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Par'Mach is the Klingon word for love, but - with more aggressive overtones.
- Captain Sisko: Love? Worf?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Stranger things have happened.
- Captain Sisko: Especially around here.
- Odo: Growing fond of the Chief, are we?
- Major Kira: What are you talking about? I've always liked Miles.
- Odo: You've always liked the Chief; but 'Miles' is a different story.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: If I were in your shoes, I would be looking for someone a little more entertaining, a little more fun and maybe even a little more attainable.
- Lt. Commander Worf: You are not in my shoes.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Too bad. You'd be amazed at what I can do in a pair of size 18 boots.
- Quark: This is ridiculous! I'm surrounded by corpses, my shoes are dripping in blood, and you want me to feel romantic?
- Quark: I'm telling you, Worf, she responded perfectly. You really have the key to this woman's heart. The question is, can you help me unlock it?
- [Thopok has challenged Quark to a fight to the death]
- Quark: So my choices are to not show up, be branded a coward and lose Grilka, or die?
- Lt. Commander Worf: Yes.
- Quark: Oh, come on now, there must be another way out of this! You people have rituals for everything except waste extraction. You must have a ceremony or a secret handshake or something I can do?
- Chief O'Brien: I can't go to the holosuite tonight. Kira and I have some things to work out.
- Doctor Bashir: Ah, still fighting, eh?
- Chief O'Brien: Who says we're fighting?
- Doctor Bashir: Well, word gets around. It's a small station.
- Chief O'Brien: It's a *huge* station!
- Doctor Bashir: Obviously not huge enough.
- Chief O'Brien: [about Kira] Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. She, er... she has a... rash on the back of her thighs. Do you have a salve or something?
- Doctor Bashir: How long has she had it?
- Chief O'Brien: Well, I noticed it yesterday when I was helping her out of the bathtub, so she's had it at least a day.
- Doctor Bashir: [stunned] Helping her out of the tub?
- Chief O'Brien: She's living in my house! She's having my baby!
- Doctor Bashir: So, er... did you look?
- Chief O'Brien: What? Oh, please. I was holding a towel up in front of her.
- Doctor Bashir: How does Keiko feel about you helping Kira out of the tub?
- Chief O'Brien: Keiko feels fine about it. You see, we are adults, and we've developed a close, mature relationship.
- Doctor Bashir: Ha, I'm sure that Keiko and Kira have. But you?
- Chief O'Brien: What about me?
- Doctor Bashir: I bet you looked.
- Doctor Bashir: [Dr. Bashir is examining a wounded Quark in the infirmary. Quark is gingerly clutching his right arm in a sling] A compound fracture of the right radius, 2 fractured ribs, torn ligaments, strained tendons, numerous contusions, bruises, and scratches. What have you been doing?
- Quark: You mean...
- [Quark exchanges a provocutive look with Grilka, who is revealed to be standing by him]
- Quark: ...What have *We* been doing?
- Quark, Grilka: [Quark and Grilka laugh raunchily. Dr. Bashir looks a little disturbed]
- Doctor Bashir: [awkwardly] Uh huh... I see. I don't need that particular image in my head. I'll just treat you.
- Lt. Commander Worf: [about to throw Morn off a bar stool to impress Grilka] I will apologise for this at another time.
