- Lt. Commander Worf: I am a Klingon warrior, and a Starfleet officer. I've piloted starships through Dominion minefields; I've stood in battle against Kelvans twice my size; I courted and won the heart of the magnificent Jadzia Dax. If I can do these things, I can make this child go to sleep!
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Talk about losing perspective.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: By the way, what does 'gung-gung-gung' mean?
- Lt. Commander Worf: Why do you ask?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Well, it was the strangest thing. I was taking Yoshi home, and he kept shaking his rattle saying "Gung-gung-gung!"
- Lt. Commander Worf: He did?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: He seemed to get a big kick out of it. So what does it mean?
- Lt. Commander Worf: That is between Yoshi and me.
- Odo: [after the O'Briens have failed to smuggle older Molly off DS9 unnoticed] I'm disappointed in you, Chief. If anyone could break a prisoner out of a holding cell and get them off the station, I'd have thought it would have been you.
- [Worf has been instructing Yoshi in hehh-duHpp]
- Lt. Commander Worf: That's a Klingon exercise designed to teach children hand-eye coordination, so they will grow up to become warriors.
- Doctor Bashir: Oh, I get it, the rattle is like, er, the baby's first bat'leth kind of thing.
- Chief O'Brien: How'd he do?
- Lt. Commander Worf: Uh, he acquitted himself well.
- Chief O'Brien: Thanks for watching him.
- [Worf is about to leave]
- Doctor Bashir: Oh, Worf, um, you might want to leave the rattle, just in case Yoshi wants to practice his hehh-duHpping.
- Molly O'Brien: I know what I'm going to be when I grow up.
- Chief O'Brien: You do?
- Molly O'Brien: M-hm. I'm going to be an exo-bologist.
- Keiko O'Brien: I wonder if she realized that the little girl she was looking at was herself.
- Chief O'Brien: I hope so. And I hope she realized that... in a way, she was going home too.
- Molly O'Brien: [the O'Briens are going on a picnic] Can we bring Chester?
- Keiko O'Brien: I don't think that would be a good idea, sweetie.
- Chief O'Brien: He might get lost.
- Keiko O'Brien: On second thought...
