- Chief O'Brien: Vash and Captain Picard were friends - close friends, if you follow my meaning. Seems they met on Risa a few years back. I figured she must be a special woman being friends with the Captain at all.
- Commander Sisko: Somehow she doesn't seem to be his type.
- Chief O'Brien: The Captain likes a good challenge, sir.
- Doctor Bashir: [examining Vash] Well, um... no sign of disease or malnutrition... or parasitic infections.
- Vash: You sound disappointed.
- Doctor Bashir: I am. Now I've no reason to keep you here.
- 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?
- [last lines]
- Doctor Bashir: [entering Quark's after a *very* long slumber] I feel as though I've been asleep for days.
- [Dax only looks at him]
- Doctor Bashir: What? Did I miss something?
- 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?
- [Vash and Quark's first encounter; Quark offers Vash to sell her artifacts in auction]
- Vash: I'll only accept payment in gold-pressed latinum.
- Quark: I'll shower you in it, fifty-fifty.
- Vash: [smiles coyly] Mr. Quark, I believe you are trying to take advantage of me.
- [Quark chuckles]
- Quark: Some wine?
- [He leans over to grab the bottle of wine he brought with him, but Vash grabs him by the ears and begins massaging them. Quark begins gasping and moaning with pleasure]
- Quark: [aroused] You've... got a real talent for oo-mox!
- Vash: So I've been told.
- Quark: [he gently tries to pulls her hand away] I'll not be distracted by your feminine wiles. I demand forty percent.
- [Vash continues massage his ears. Quark goes limp like melted butter in her lap]
- Quark: Okay... forty percent.
- Vash: What magnificent cartilage!
- Quark: [as though his heart is going to burst with pleasure] Twenty two and don't stop!
- Vash: You've got a deal!
- [Vash gently pushes a helplessly aroused Quark off of her as she heads to the door. Quark plops on the couch like a de-boned fish, panting heavily from the oo-mox]
- Vash: [business-like] I expect you to make all the necessary arrangements.
- Quark: [admiringly; about Vash's business savoir fair] Oh, You are good... You are very, VERY GOOD!
- 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.
- Bajoran Clerk: [Vash has brought back a dazzling geode from the Gamma Quadrant] Beautiful. I've never seen anything quite like it.
- Doctor Bashir: So there I was, fighting the toughest battle of my life, looking around, hoping to spot a friendly face, only to discover my collegues were gone.
