Quotes 

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : It may sound cruel; but we both know, that ship out there was worth it. Those five deaths may save five thousand lives, or maybe even five million.

  Captain Sisko : And if I had to make the same trade all over again, I would. But five people are dead - fine men and women, who deserved a lot more than to die on some lonely planet, 50,000 light years away from home!

• [Sisko and Dax are discussing the five dead] 

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [of Rooney]  You know something else I remember about him? How *proud* he was to wear his uniform. And how proud he was to serve under you. The same as Hoya, T'Lor, Bertram, and Muñiz. They chose a life in Starfleet. They knew the risks. And they died fighting for something that they believed in.

  Captain Sisko : That doesn't make it any easier.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Maybe nothing should.

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [Sisko has just broken up a fight between Worf and O'Brien]  Tough guys. A little pressure and they buckle.

  Captain Sisko : [turns to her]  Dax, maybe you haven't noticed, but no one's laughing.

• [the Jem'Hadar are shelling the area around the ship, rattling the Starfleet crew inside] 

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : You'd think they'd be tired of playing this game with us by now!

  Lt. Commander Worf : I have a game I would like to play with them, if only I could leave this prison and meet them face to face on a field of battle!

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Right now, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Worf, what do you say we go look at that ion exchange matrix we found? And on the way maybe we can discuss some of the finer points of diplomacy.

• Captain Sisko : The Vorta doesn't want the ship; she wants something aboard it.

  Chief O'Brien : Any idea what?

  Captain Sisko : It could be anything - encoding device, guidance system...

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Maybe she lost an earring.

• Captain Sisko : They're giving us all medals.

  Lieutenant Commander Dax : I'll add it to my collection.
