[last lines]
Odo : Captain, there's something you need to know. The Changeling, before he... died - he whispered something to me.
Captain Sisko : Go on.
Odo : He said..."You're too late. We are everywhere."
-
Major Kira : Well, now that you have another pip on your collar, does that mean I can't disagree with you anymore?
Captain Sisko : No. It just means, I'm never wrong.
Major Kira : Ah - we'll see about that.

Michael Eddington : Captain - I just want to say that... I agree with what Chief O'Brien said. About your promotion. It's about time.
Captain Sisko : I appreciate the sentiment, Commander, but it really doesn't change anything. I have the assignment I want, I have the crew that I want. The rank doesn't make much difference.
Michael Eddington : You'd be surprised. People don't enter Starfleet to become commanders, or admirals, for that matter. It's the captain's chair that everyone has their eye on. That's what I wanted when I joined up... You don't get to be a captain wearing a gold uniform.
Captain Sisko : You could always transfer from Security to Command.
Michael Eddington : [with fake naivety] Then who would protect the Ambassador?

[having lost any control of the Defiant's systems, Sisko has initiated the auto-destruct sequence]
Chief O'Brien : I think I may be able to shut down the Changeling's force fields, and gain access to the sabotaged systems. The only problem is, we may lose our force fields too.
Federation Computer : Auto-destruct in seven minutes.
Captain Sisko : Just tell me how long it will take.
Chief O'Brien : Well, I guess it'll have to be less than seven minutes, won't it?
Captain Sisko : That'd be my suggestion.

Captain Sisko : My son, the writer, thinks I should say something profound on this occasion. He even offered to write me a brief statement. I told him I'd take care of it myself; but as it turns out, the only thing I can think of is: Begin Captain's log, stardate 48960.9.
-
[first lines]
Commander Sisko : Commander's log, stardate 48959.1 - It is with mixed emotions that I record this, my final Commander's log. The last three years have been the most demanding and rewarding of my career. I can only hope that the future will hold even greater challenges.
