• Major Kira : Odo, I know you don't need to eat. But did you ever try it anyway?

  Odo : Once, not long after I was first able to assume the humanoid form.

  Major Kira : And?

  Odo : And since I don't have taste buds, it was very unsatisfying, not to mention... messy.

  Major Kira : Messy?

  Odo : I'd rather not talk about it.

• Major Kira : Money isn't everything.

  Tiron : Oh, no. But it can buy everything.

• Major Kira : [introducing]  This is Tiron, a... business associate of Quark's. This is Odo - my lover.

  Tiron : Well... You're a very lucky man.

  Major Kira : I'm... a lucky woman.

  Odo : [bewildered]  Yes - we're both very lucky.

• Tiron : So, Mr. Odo, what is it that you do?

  Odo : I'm Chief of Security on this station.

  Tiron : Oh. A station this size must be a very challenging job. I hope you're well compensated.

  Major Kira : Oh, money doesn't matter. All we need is each other. Isn't that right - sweetheart?

  Odo : Yes - sweetheart.

• [Quark is honoring Kira as his one millionth customer] 

  Major Kira : Quark, I don't have time for this!

  Major Kira : [pointing at the next customer]  Why don't you make him your one millionth customer?

  Quark : But Major, that would be dishonest.

  Major Kira : That never stopped you before!

• Major Kira : What do you think you're doing, Quark?

  Quark : Nothing.

  Odo : Ha!

  Major Kira : Then what's this?

  Quark : Oh, you mean this holo-imager? I was just recording the image of the Promenade to send home to my mother.

  Odo : Ha!

  Major Kira : You're trying to take a holo-scan of me, and I wanna know why.

  Quark : Of you? Not at all! You just happened to get in the frame.

  Odo : Ha!

  Quark : Will you stop doing that?

  Odo : Not until you start telling the truth.

• Major Kira : [to Quark]  If I ever catch you pointing a holo-imager at me again, you will end up eating it.

• [first lines] 

  Odo : [as Kira tentatively sips coffee]  Too hot?

  Kira : A little.

  Odo : Why don't you specify a lower temperature?

  Kira : No, no, no. Coffee should be a little too hot to drink right away.

  Odo : Why?

  Kira : It slows down the experience, gives you time to savour the taste.

  Odo : Ah, yes. Taste.
