- Dr. Julian Bashir: It's very difficult to keep a supply of synthetic organs on hand in a battlefield situation. You never know how many livers you're gonna need - or, uh... how many hearts.
- Odo: I can imagine. But, uh, what does that have to do with me?
- Dr. Julian Bashir: Well, the holy grail of organ replacement is to be able to find a way to inject the patient with undifferentiated tissue, so that it can become whatever organ is needed. The only problem is...
- Odo: Doctor, get to the point.
- Dr. Julian Bashir: I need to borrow... a cup... of goo.
- Odo: Excuse me?
- Dr. Julian Bashir: Please? I'll give it back.
- Kai Winn: Remember your place, Dukat.
- Dukat: I thought my place was in your bed.
- Kai Winn: That was before I knew who you were.
- Dukat: Adami, I'm not the same man I was during the occupation. The Pah-wraiths have changed me.
- Kai Winn: But they can't change what you did. Do you really think I could let myself be touched by a man whose hands are stained with the blood of my people?
- Dukat: When we do release the Pah-wraiths from the fire caves... your hands will be stained as well.

- Captain Sisko: We're next.
- Admiral Ross: You're kidding.
- Captain Sisko: I wish I were.

- Dr. Julian Bashir: 31 isn't just trying to stop us from finding a cure. They're trying to cover up the fact that they set out to commit genocide.
- Chief O'Brien: Well, if they gave Odo this disease, then they must have a cure.
- Dr. Julian Bashir: We have to find a way to get our hands on that cure.
- Chief O'Brien: Huh... Before 31 gets their hands on us.
- [Dr. Bashir is analyzing a glass container filled with a liquid substance]
- Chief O'Brien: Is that Odo?
- Dr. Julian Bashir: Part of him, anyway.
- Gowron: The son of Mogh...
- Lt. Commander Worf: Chancellor.
- Gowron: [to Martok] They say you've made him part of your house.
- Martok: That's true.
- Gowron: [after a long look at Worf] Then what is past is past. If Martok considers you his brother, that's all I need to know. Come, I've brought a barrel of the finest bloodwine, and it must be drunk tonight!
- [Klingons leave]
- Captain Sisko: [to Admiral Ross] I guess we're not invited.
- Admiral Ross: Well, gentlemen, it seems as if the Klingon fleet is the only thing that stands between us and the Dominion.
- Velal: What have we come to?
- Gowron: I can see it all so clearly: while our allies sit and do nothing, the Klingon Empire will score the final triumph over the Dominion. We'll be the saviors of the Alpha Quadrant. The glory will be ours - and ours alone.

- O'Brien: Basically, we stumbled onto it by accident. At Chin'toka, our entire fleet was disabled when the Breen used their energy dampening weapon. 311 ships, Federation, Klingon and Romulan, all lost power.
- Sisko: But one didn't. A Bird of Prey called the Ki'tang.
- Ross: Why? What was different about the Ki'tang?
- O'Brien: We're not really sure. The only thing we can figure is that just prior to the engagement, their chief engineer adjusted the tritium intermix to compensate for a containment problem in the warp core.
- Martok: I've ordered every vessel in the Klingon fleet to adjust its reactor in the same way.
- Velal: Our vessels are of a different design. Can this technique be adapted to protect them as well?
- Sisko: Unfortunately, no. Your ships are still vulnerable and so are ours.
- O'Brien: I've sent everything we know about the Breen weapon to the Romulan Ministry of Science and to Starfleet Engineering, but realistically, it's going to take a while before they can figure out a way to protect our ships.
- Sisko: Thank you, Mister O'Brien.
