Quotes 

• Odo : Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you believe the Founders are gods is because that's what they want you to believe? That they built it into your genetic code?

  Weyoun 6 : Of course they did. That's what gods do. After all, why be a god if there's no one to worship you?

• Odo : You still haven't answered my question. Why did you decide to defect?

  Weyoun 6 : I realized my place is with you.

  Odo : You can do better than that.

  Weyoun 6 : Then let's just say, I left Cardassia because my life was in danger.

  Odo : From whom?

  Weyoun 6 : Everyone.

  Odo : Aren't you being a little paranoid?

  Weyoun 6 : Of course I'm paranoid, everyone's trying to kill me.

• [Odo has emphasized to Weyoun earlier that he is no god] 

  Odo : I wish you'd stop doing that.

  Weyoun 6 : Doing what?

  Odo : Staring at me.

  Weyoun 6 : Was I? I didn't mean to.

  Odo : You've been doing it for the last ten hours.

  Weyoun 6 : I'm sorry. It's just such an honor to be sitting here with a g...

  [Odo gives him a menacing look] 

  Weyoun 6 : ...security officer.

• [when trying to escape the Jem'Hadar, Odo hides his runabout inside of a large chunk of ice] 

  Weyoun 6 : "We become the ice." Only a god could think of such a thing.

  Odo : Well, let's just hope the Jem'Hadar give up their search before we freeze to death.

  Weyoun 6 : My faith will keep me warm.

  Odo : Hmm, perhaps. But in an hour, you may want to trade in that faith for a thermal blanket.

• Weyoun 7 : You look surprised to see me, Odo.

  Odo : I'm well aware the Vorta are all clones. But I'm not sure the universe is ready for two Weyouns.

  Weyoun 7 : I couldn't agree more.

• [Weyoun 6 has activated his termination implant] 

  Weyoun 6 : There is one thing you can do for me.

  Odo : What's that?

  Weyoun 6 : Give me your blessing.

  Odo : I-I can't.

  Weyoun 6 : Please, Odo - tell me I haven't failed, that I've served you well.

  Odo : You have, and for that you have my gratitude - and... my blessing.

• Odo : It isn't easy to turn your back on your people. Believe me, I know.

• Odo : I don't think I'll ever forget the look on his face when he died. He seemed so... content.

  Colonel Kira : The last thing he saw was one of his gods smiling at him. If you ask me, he was a lucky man.

  Odo : Nerys, please.

  Colonel Kira : No, listen to me. I know, to Starfleet, the Prophets are nothing more than wormhole aliens. But to me, they're gods. I can't prove it. Then again, I don't have to; because my faith in them is enough - just as Weyoun's faith in you... was enough for him.

• Odo : Well, I hope this taught you a lesson.

  Colonel Kira : What's that?

  Odo : Never play springball against a changeling.

• [last lines] 

  Odo : The Changelings are dying, and I can't help them. They're the enemy.

  Colonel Kira : A very dangerous enemy - now more than ever, because they're also desperate. This isn't easy for you; but you have to remember, they started this war. You didn't.

  Odo : That's true. But I know now, whichever side wins, one thing is certain: I'm going to lose.

• Colonel Kira : Right now, all I wanna do is just sleep for two or three...

  [groans] 

  Colonel Kira : ...days.

  Odo : Go right ahead. I should be back by the time you wake up.

• Odo : I'm not a god, I'm a security officer.
