Benjamin Sisko: Ah, that must be Quark with the necklace.
Kasidy Yates: The necklace?
Benjamin Sisko: Just in case the flowers didn’t work.

Ezri Dax: Anyway, I got away from him; but then there was nowhere to run. And then, just when I thought he was about to kill me, he reached up and took off his helmet…
Worf: And?
Ezri Dax: And… it was Julian.
Worf: Dr. Bashir?
Ezri Dax: Isn’t that strange? I wonder what it meant.
Worf: Dr. Bashir is a Breen.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 18 – “’Til Death Do Us Part
Ezri Dax: I bumped into Captain Boday the other night.
Miles O’Brien: Captain Boday?
Julian Bashir: The Gallamite. Jadzia dated him.
Miles O’Brien: Oh, the toothy smile and the transparent skull?
Julian Bashir: That’s him…. Personally, I don’t know what Jadzia ever saw in the man.
Miles O’Brien: Well – his brains.

Garak: The eternal optimist!
Julian Bashir: Guilty as charged.
Garak: How sad. I must tell you, I’m disappointed at hearing you mouth the usual platitudes of peace and friendship regarding an implacable foe like the Romulans. But, I live in hope that one day, you’ll come to see this universe for what it truly is, rather than what you’d wish it to be.
Julian Bashir: Then I shall endeavor to become more cynical with each passing day. Look gift horses squarely in the mouth, and find clouds in every silver lining.
Garak: If only you meant it.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 16 – “Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges”
Benjamin Sisko: You want to know? You really want to know what my problem is? I’ll tell you: Las Vegas, 1962. That’s my problem. In 1962, black people weren’t very welcome there! Oh, sure, they could be performers or janitors, but customers? Never!
Kasidy Yates: Maybe that’s the way it was in the real Vegas, but that’s not the way it is at Vic’s. I have never felt uncomfortable there, and neither has Jake.
Benjamin Sisko: But don’t you see?! That’s the lie! In 1962, the Civil Rights Movement was still in its infancy! It wasn’t an easy time for our people, and I’m not going to pretend that it was!
Kasidy Yates: Baby… I know that Vic’s isn’t a totally accurate representation of the way things were, but… it isn’t meant to be. It shows us the way things could have been – the way they should have been.
Benjamin Sisko: We cannot ignore the truth about the past.
Kasidy Yates: Going to Vic’s isn’t going to make us forget who we are or where we came from. What it does is reminds us that we are no longer bound by any limitations – except the ones we impose on ourselves.
