Commander Benjamin 'Ben' Sisko
- Major Kira: You look like you could use some sleep.
- Chief O'Brien: Who's time for sleep? I'd settle for five minutes peace and quiet.
- [in the background, Sisko is burning his lips on a too hot coffee]
- Commander Sisko: Chief! I thought you were gonna fix the replicators.
- Chief O'Brien: [disgruntled] You're absolutely right, sir, I knew I'd forgotten something! Can't have the operations chief sitting around daydreaming when there's work to be done, can we? Hohohoho, I'll get right on it!
- [Quark is talking to an aphasia patient with lots of gestures and mimics]
- Quark: Food! Dabo! Drinks! Money! Hand, mine - give!
- Commander Sisko: Well, Quark, I see even you couldn't weasel your way clear of this one.
- Quark: You underestimate the Ferengi immune system, Commander. I'm merely here visiting my less fortunate customers to make sure they're not faking the illness to avoid paying their bills!
- Commander Sisko: No one could be that devious.
- Quark: I am.
- Commander Sisko: We need to find out who created this virus.
- Commander Sisko: [to Kira] You're our best hope.
- Major Kira: Eighteen years is a long time.
- Odo: Besides, even if she finds who did this, that's no guarantee they can help us.
- Commander Sisko: We just have to hope they remember the antidote.
- Odo: That's assuming they ever bothered to create one.
- Commander Sisko: No need to ask how you're doing.
- Major Kira: Chasing after ghosts!
- Commander Sisko: You have twelve hours to catch one.
- Major Kira: And then?
- Commander Sisko: People start dying.
- Commander Sisko: We'll have to get down there and blow it manually.
- [he tries to get up but falls back, exhausted]
- Odo: I'll do it.
- Commander Sisko: All right. You can cross barrels. All job appalled.
- Odo: What was that?
- Commander Sisko: Bread - the arrive - seen earlier.
- Odo: Oh, I see...
