Quotes 

• Q : You hit me! Picard never hit me.

  Sisko : I'm not Picard.

  Q : Indeed not. You're much easier to provoke. How fortunate for me.

• Vash : It's over, Q, I want you out of my life. You're arrogant, you're overbearing and you think you know everything.

  Q : But... I do know everything.

  Vash : That makes it even worse.

• Q : An abysmal place.

  Vash : Tartaras V?

  Q : Earth. Oh, don't get me wrong. Thousand years ago it had character - Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Watergate... Now it's just mind-numbingly dull.

• Q : I suppose it's my fate to be the galaxy's whipping boy. Oh, heavy is the burden of being me.

• Vash : You are the one who almost got me killed on Errikang VII, and they weren't exactly thrilled to see you on Brax either. What did they call you, 'the God of Lies'?

  Q : They meant it affectionately.

• Q : [mockingly]  The eminent Vash! Barred from the Royal Museum of Epsilon Hydra VII. Persona non grata on Betazed. Wanted dead on Miridon for stealing the crown of the First Mother.

  Vash : Dead or *alive*!

  Q : *Preferably* dead!

• Q : Really, Vash, I can't believe you're still pining for Jean-Luc, that self-righteous do-gooder.

• Chief O'Brien : Why don't you do something constructive for a change, like torment Cardassians?

  Q : Do I know you?

  Chief O'Brien : O'Brien, from the Enterprise.

  Q : Enterprise? Oh, yes! Weren't you one of the little people?

• Q : [referring to Quark]  What business could you possibly have with that disgusting little troll?

• Doctor Bashir : [Bashir is on the Replimat, waiting for Vash when Q disguised as a Bajoran waiter comes up to him]  Oh, just a cup of mint tea, please.

  Q : [tutting]  You're making a terrible mistake.

  Doctor Bashir : Why? Oh, the replicators haven't malfunctioned again?

  Q : I'm talking about Vash. Stay away from her.

  Doctor Bashir : My God! You're an impertinent waiter!

  Q : I'm a friend. I'm trying to give friendly advice. She's nothing but trouble.

  Doctor Bashir : Really? Well, I don't think it's any of your business who I see. In fact, I'm meeting her now...

  Q : [concerned]  Are you sure you're up to it? You look tired.

  Doctor Bashir : [getting up to leave]  I feel fine...

  Q : No, no, no. You look very, very tired.

  [Q yawns] 

  Doctor Bashir : [Bashir does the same]  Actually, I do feel a bit spent. Maybe I should lie down for a while.

  Q : [to himself]  Hopefully by yourself for a change.

  Chief O'Brien : [O'Brien's also at the Replimat and recognises the waiter. He hurries off to Ops while saying to himself]  Bloody hell!

• Q : [to Sisko]  Just answer one question: is Starfleet penalizing you or did you actually request such a dismal command?

• Q : But it's not going to be the same without you. When I look at a gas nebula, all I see is a cloud of dust. Seeing the universe through your eyes, I was able to experience... wonder. I'm going to miss that.
