Quotes6

  • [Sisko has taken over the role of Gabriel Bell]
  • Doctor Bashir: Didn't you say Gabriel Bell died when the police stormed the building?
  • Sisko: Right. But I'm not Bell.
  • Doctor Bashir: No. But we're the only ones who know that.
  • Preston: Change takes time.
  • Sisko: You've run out of time.
  • [last lines]
  • Doctor Bashir: You know, Commander... having seen a little of the 21st century, there is one thing I don't understand: how could they have let things get so bad?
  • Commander Sisko: That's a good question. I wish I had an answer.
  • B.C.: You really gonna shoot me, Bell? I don't think so.
  • Sisko: Think again.
  • B.C.: I thought we were on the same side here!
  • Sisko: We are. But you get on my nerves, and I don't like your hat!
  • Commander Sisko: [on seeing his picture in the historical database of the 21st century] I'm not looking forward to explaining this to Starfleet Command.
  • B.C.: [about his demands] It's simple: we trade the hostages for our freedom. We get amnesty, a handful of credit chips, and a flight to anywhere we want. Personally, I'm thinking Tasmania.
  • Sisko: Tasmania...
  • B.C.: Errol Flynn was born in Tasmania!
