Quotes
-
Garak : [as his house is being destroyed] All during the years of my exile I imagined what it would be like to come home. I even thought of living in this house again, with Mila. But now she's dead, and this house is about to be reduced to a pile of rubble. My Cardassia is gone.
Colonel Kira Nerys : Then fight for a new Cardassia.
Garak : I have an even better reason, Commander: revenge.
Colonel Kira Nerys : That works too.
-
Quark : A-ha, I knew it! When I saw the two of you slip out, I said to myself, that no-good, misanthropic, cantankerous changeling is trying to sneak off the station without anyone noticing.
Odo : That was the idea.
Quark : Well, it's not gonna happen, is it?
Odo : Apparently not.
Quark : So - now that I'm here... is there something you want to say to me?
Odo : Such as?
Quark : Such as... 'Goodbye. You certainly were a worthy adversary.' Or maybe something with the words 'mutual respect' in it.
Odo : No.
Quark : No? What do you mean, no?
Odo : I mean, no. I have nothing I want to say to you.
Quark : You telling me that after all these years, after all we've been through, you're not even gonna say goodbye to me?
Odo : That's right. Nerys, I'll be on the runabout.
[he utters one last contemptuous grunt and mounts the runabout]
Colonel Kira Nerys : Don't take it hard, Quark.
Quark : Hard? What're you talking about? That man loves me! Couldn't you see? It was written all over his back.
-
Odo : [after "changing" into a tuxedo] You always said I looked good in a tuxedo.
Colonel Kira Nerys : You do.
Odo : Then this is the way I want you to remember me.
Colonel Kira Nerys : I'll never forget you.
Odo : Goodbye, Nerys.
-
Odo : Nerys, please - tell everyone I'll miss them.
Colonel Kira Nerys : Even Quark?
Odo : Even Quark. But most of all...
Colonel Kira Nerys : I know.

[Kira and Garak have taken over the Dominion briefing room on Cardassia]
Colonel Kira Nerys : This war is over. You lost.
Female Shapeshifter : Have I? I think you'll find that neither the Jem'Hadar or the Breen will agree with that assessment. They will fight to the last man.
Colonel Kira Nerys : And what will that accomplish?
Female Shapeshifter : Isn't it obvious? You may win this war, Commander; but I promise you, when it is over, you will have lost so many ships, so many lives, that your victory will taste as bitter as defeat.
-
Colonel Kira Nerys : Just between you and me, all bets are off.
Quark : What're you talking about?
Colonel Kira Nerys : As of this moment, betting pools of any kind are illegal on the station. I catch someone placing a bet, I put *you* in a holding cell for fifteen days, is that clear?
Quark : Fifteen days? Can I bring my own pillow?
Colonel Kira Nerys : Quark.
Quark : It's clear, it's clear.
Colonel Kira Nerys : Better be.
-
[Kira's last line of the series]
Colonel Kira Nerys : Better be.

[outside Dominion headquarters]
Garak : We have a problem.
Colonel Kira Nerys : Only one?
Garak : It's a rather large problem. The cargo bay door is made of neutronium.
Colonel Kira Nerys : Then the explosives we brought aren't even going to make a dent.
Garak : You see the problem.
Ekoor : What do we do?
Damar : I don't know. But I'm through hiding in basements.
[Garak begins to laugh]
Damar : I fail to see what is so funny, Garak.
Garak : Well, isn't it obvious? Here we are, ready to storm the castle, prepared to sacrifice our lives in a noble effort to slay the Dominion beast in its lair...
[Kira begins to laugh hysterically]
Garak : ... and we can't even get inside the gates!
[They all start laughing]
Colonel Kira Nerys : Maybe... maybe we could go up to the door and ask the Jem'Hadar to let us in!
Damar : Or just send the shapeshifter out to us!
[They laugh even harder]
Garak : [sobers gradually] As I said, we have a problem.
