Quotes 

• Commander Sisko : If you need any other help...

  Li Nalas : Help? I can't even sneeze without three people handing me handkerchiefs.

• Commander Sisko : I'm going to get you back, Major. I promise that to both of us.

• Commander Sisko : General Krim. I'm Benjamin Sisko. We met during a session of the Executive Committee last year.

  Krim : I remember, Commander. I was impressed by your talk.

  Commander Sisko : As I recall, you disagreed with all of it.

• Krim : Commander Sisko... You told me about the Kressari before you asked the favor regarding Kira... You could've tried to trade that information... for the favor.

  Commander Sisko : I wouldn't do that.

  Krim : I'll remember that about you.

• Li Nalas : Commander, anything you need from me, I will try my best to do. But I know that I can never replace Major Kira.

  Commander Sisko : No one could.

• Commander Sisko : For a minute I was thinking to myself, there's a warm wind blowing in from Minicoy.

  Minister Jaro : I'm sorry?

  Commander Sisko : It's just an old saying from Earth. It all started with the famous ambassador from Minicoy, who used to bluster, exaggerate and dissemble to get what he wanted - not at all like you or me. He was a bag of hot air, and everyone recognized him for what he was.

• Minister Jaro : Frankly, Commander, I'm surprised at your reaction.

  Commander Sisko : I don't think much surprises you, Minister.

  Commander Sisko : Chief, how long will it take us to evacuate Deep Space 9?

  Chief O'Brien : I'd say we could have all our people out and away in three hours.

  Commander Sisko : I mean a complete evacuation. I intend to take all Starfleet instruments, material... in fact, all Federation property of any kind. How quickly can we do that?

  Chief O'Brien : Sir, that'll take days. A week, for all I know. But those assault ships are going to be here in seven hours.

  Commander Sisko : Then I guess some of us won't quite be done by the time they get here.
