- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: What about Captain Boday?
- Major Kira: Captain Boday? You want me to bring Captain Boday to your quarters for dinner?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: It's just a suggestion.
- Major Kira: Well, it's a bad suggestion! Number one, you used to go out with Captain Boday, number two, Worf hates him, and number three, and we've discussed this many times, Captain Boday has a transparent skull.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: And you don't like to see a man's brains. -... - What about Doctor Trag'tok? He's intelligent, he has a good physique... and he has a very opaque cranium.
- Major Kira: True. But his eye bothers me.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Which one?
- Major Kira: The middle one.
- Major Kira: Sometimes your taste in men frightens me.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: [arriving in Ops] I'll make sure to tell Worf you said so.
- Lt. Commander Worf: [at his console] Tell me what?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Don't be so nosy!
- Major Kira: [quoting Vedek Bareil] "When you overindulge the body..."
- Bareil: "... you starve the soul."
- Captain Sisko: I know what you're going through, Major. When I met the other Jennifer Sisko, it was... very confusing, to say the least. I knew she wasn't my wife. Sometimes, she would smile at me a certain way, and then the light would hit her eyes - and it *was* my Jennifer. At least that's what I wanted to believe.
- Bareil: Who are the Prophets?
- Major Kira: Our gods. You do have gods, don't you?
- Bareil: Of course we do.
- Major Kira: You don't sound too sure.
- Bareil: That's because I leave them alone; they leave me alone.
- Major Kira: [to Bareil, on the assumption that he was using Kira to get to the Orb] It's not true. You know that as well as I do. You may have come here for the Orb. But you found something else.
- Intendant Kira: And people say that *I* have a large ego.
- Bareil: This must be very strange for you... you and I here together... me looking like him...
- Major Kira: Fortunately, you're not anything like him.
- Bareil: You mean, he didn't eat in bed?
- Intendant Kira: I'd be disappointed if you didn't find the Major intoxicating. I mean, after all, she is me - or the next best thing to me.
- [after kidnapping Major Kira, Bareil has climbed 57 levels with her to get to the runabout landing pad]
- Major Kira: Here we are. Landing pad A.
- Bareil: Open it.
- Major Kira: I've got a better idea. Why don't you hand over that disruptor?
- Bareil: Oh, you've been so cooperative up to now. I'd hate to have to kill you.
- Major Kira: You're not gonna kill me.
- Bareil: Oh, you sure of that?
- Major Kira: You're not gonna kill anyone, not with that disruptor. Power cell's cracked.
- Bareil: [sighs] How long have you known?
- Major Kira: Since we left Ops.
- Bareil: Then... why did you come with me?
- Major Kira: I needed the exercise.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Julian, Kira's personal life is her own. We're her friends, we should respect her privacy.
- [Kira arrives in Ops]
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Good morning, Nerys. How'd it go last night?
- Major Kira: You mean dinner? We had a great time, why?
- Doctor Bashir: Uh, she means after dinner, but you don't have to answer that, because we don't want to invade your privacy.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: But if you want to tell us about it, we'll listen.
- Major Kira: [to Bareil] You don't have to do this.
- Intendant Kira: Oh, isn't that sweet? She is still trying to save your soul. Of course, you don't have one.
- [Quark has suggested that Bareil pose as a Vedek to the paying public]
- Bareil: I wouldn't know what to say.
- Quark: The less, the better. Just nod every once in a while and smile benignly. It's very simple. Later on, once you get the hang of it, you might even throw in a blessing or two. What do you think?
- Bareil: I have known people like you my whole life - nasty, greedy little minds willing to do whatever it takes to make money. I know just how you think.
- Quark: That's because you think the same way.
- Bareil: [laughs flatly] I suppose I am a lot more like you than I'll ever be like... Vedek Bareil.
- Quark: Perfect. Then we have a deal?
- Bareil: I'm afraid not.
- Quark: Why?
- Bareil: Because right now, I don't like either one of us.
- Intendant Kira: Wearing the Major's clothes, it feels so intimate. Oh, admit it. You've never found me more exciting; it's like having the best of both worlds.
- [last lines]
- Bareil: You know what I saw when I looked into that Orb? You and me, together, on Bajor. We had a life. A family.
- Major Kira: What's wrong with that?
- Bareil: Nothing. Might even work... for a while. But eventually, I'd find some way to ruin it. I'm a thief. I belong with her.
- Major Kira: Then you should go.
