Quotes 

• Lwaxana Troi : Dance with me, Odo.

  Odo : I'm sorry. I don't dance.

  Lwaxana Troi : Nonsense. I saw you moving to the music.

  Odo : That wasn't dancing. That was... swaying.

  Lwaxana Troi : Oh, then sway with me, Odo. Sway with me.

  Odo : I just remembered, I'm needed in security.

  Lwaxana Troi : I'll come with you.

• [Odo is briefing a Starfleet security officer when Lwaxana Troi enters his office] 

  Lwaxana Troi : [to the security officer]  Didn't they teach you any manners in Starfleet Academy? Be a dear, run along. The Constable and I have a lot of catching up to do.

  Odo : [also to the officer]  Uh, come back in five minutes.

  Lwaxana Troi : Make that half an hour.

• Lwaxana Troi : I'm here to help you.

  Odo : What kind of help do you mean?

  Lwaxana Troi : Oh... well, a sympathetic ear, a shoulder to cry on - a lap to melt in...

• Lwaxana Troi : Why do I find stubborn men so attractive?

• Commander Sisko : [to Chief O'Brien about Quark]  Easy, Chief. He doesn't know what he's doing.

  [points to Lwaxana, they all look at her] 

  Lwaxana Troi : What are you looking at me for?

  [Cuts to sickbay] 

  Lwaxana Troi : Zanthi Fever? Oh, that's ridiculous. That's impossible. That only affects older Betazoids.

  Doctor Bashir : That may be, but according to my tests, you show all the symptoms. Zanthi Fever is a virus which affects the empathic abilities of, uh, mature Betazoids. It causes them to project their emotions onto others.

  Commander Sisko : Then Mrs. Troi's amorous feelings for... someone on the station were being passed along to the people around her?

  Doctor Bashir : Not everyone. Only those within close proximity to her when she had an attack, and even then, they would've had to have been with some preexisting latent attraction.

  Commander Sisko : You're saying Dax...?

  Doctor Bashir : Only on a subconscious level. Best not to think about it too much if you ask me.

  Lwaxana Troi : I am terribly sorry, Commander. I hope I haven't caused too much trouble.

• Lwaxana Troi : [laughing]  This is one Gratitude Festival they'll be talking about for a long time.

  Odo : I know I'll never forget it.

  Lwaxana Troi : I hope everything works out for you, Odo, with Major Kira.

  Odo : I... don't know what you mean.

  Lwaxana Troi : Oh, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me. After all, I know what it's like to be attracted to someone who doesn't necessarily feel the same way.

  [sighs] 

  Lwaxana Troi : If you get tired if waiting for her...

  [kisses him] 

  Lwaxana Troi : ... you know where to find me.

  Odo : I'll keep that in mind.
