• [Quark is complaining about the noise Odo makes at night in his quarters] 

  Quark : Do you know what it's like to hear someone practice shape-shifting? Last night, it sounded like a Takaran wildebeest was tromping around up there.

  Odo : That was for all of five minutes. Once you complained, I took the form of a Rafalian mouse.

  Quark : Yeah. Little tiny feet, skittering across the floor, back and forth, back and forth.

  Major Kira : You could hear that?

  Quark : [pointing at his ears]  Hello?

• Quark : Well, I've said my piece; sorry for butting in. But I'm just looking out for my business.

  Odo : Funny. For a minute there, I thought you were talking to me as a friend.

• Quark : I dropped by your quarters this morning.

  Odo : Oh?

  Quark : I heard some noise, and when I went to complain, I found a work crew installing soundproofing in the floor. I have to say, Odo, I'm touched, that you would do something like that for me.

  Odo : I'm having the floor reinforced. The fact that they're soundproofing it as well is incidental. If you think I'd put up with three days of construction for your sake, think again.

  Quark : I guess I should've known. Thanks anyway.

  Odo : Don't mention it.

• Major Kira : It's just Quark's luck that you would be assigned quarters right above his.

  Odo : "Luck" had nothing to do with it.

• Major Kira : I've been meaning to ask you, why don't you wear that belt anymore?

  Odo : I don't know. Didn't really serve a purpose. It's not as if I needed it to hold my pants up.

  Major Kira : I just thought it looked good on you, that's all.

  Odo : [pleasantly surprised]  Really?

  Major Kira : [smiles]  Really.

  Odo : Well... if you say so.

  [Odo morphs his waist to include a belt on his uniform] 

  Odo : Better?

  Major Kira : Much.

• Major Kira : Hey - no belt?

  Odo : I'm just trying to keep to the essentials, Major.

• Major Kira : Do you have to stare like that? I think it's making people nervous.

  Odo : Good.

• Shakaar : I want to stop by the Promenade and visit the temple first.

  Odo : Why wasn't I told about this?

  Sarish : I didn't know myself until a moment ago.

  Shakaar : Is there a problem?

  Odo : I would have posted extra Security on the Promenade.

  Shakaar : Oh, well, we'll just... slip in, I'll stay for a few minutes and then... we'll slip out.

  Odo : [sighs]  With all due respect, sir, now that you're First Minister, you can't slip in or out of *bed* without people noticing.

  Shakaar : [laughs]  Maybe not. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna stay in bed all day.
