Quotes 

• Jake Sisko : Dad! You know if we stay with grandpa, he's gonna put me to work in the kitchen.

  Captain Sisko : Is that so bad?

  Jake Sisko : Chopping vegetables for nine hours a day isn't exactly my idea of a vacation.

  Captain Sisko : Jake, you're not a child anymore. Grandpa will not expect you to chop vegetables. He'll want you to wait tables!

• Captain Sisko : You've lost weight.

  Joseph Sisko : You think so?

  Jake Sisko : The doctors said you have to keep your weight up.

  Joseph Sisko : Don't you start too. I've a vat of crayfish in the back that needs cleaning and it's got your name on it.

• Captain Sisko : But you're feeling okay?

  Joseph Sisko : Just point me in the direction of a party and a pretty girl and I'll show you how good I feel!

• Joseph Sisko : Benjamin Lafayette Sisko, what the hell has gotten into your head? You actually thought I was one of them, didn't you?

  Captain Sisko : I don't know. I wasn't sure.

  Joseph Sisko : This business has got you so twisted around, you... you can't think straight. You're seeing shapeshifters everywhere! Maybe you ought to think about something for a minute. If I was a smart shapeshifter, a really good one, the first thing I would do would be to grab some poor soul off the street, absorb every ounce of his blood and let it out on cue whenever someone like you tried to test me. Don't you see? There isn't a test that's been created a smart man can't find his way around.

• Captain Sisko : I hope you don't take this the wrong way, Constable. But there are times I wish you'd never found your people.

  Odo : Believe me, Captain - sometimes, I feel the same way.

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [of the wormhole]  It seems to be opening and closing completely at random. No unusual readings, no ships coming through. For all we know, the Bajorans are right, maybe it is a message from the Prophets.

  Captain Sisko : Hm, if it is, they didn't tell *me*.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Maybe the Prophets don't recognize you with the new beard.

• Captain Sisko : I was hoping that this would never happen. But it finally has. The Changelings... have reached Earth.

• Captain Sisko : I didn't know you liked Creole food.

  Nog : I don't. I like tube grubs, and your father is the only person on this planet who can get me live ones.

  Joseph Sisko : I've been thinking of adding them to our menu. Of course I'll have to cook them for our Human customers, serve them with a nice remoulade.

  Nog : Cook them? What good are tube grubs if they don't wiggle on the way down?

• [Joseph Sisko has refused two Starfleet officers to be blood-tested] 

  Joseph Sisko : You take these two vampires and tell them to either sit down and grab a menu or get out of my restaurant!

  Captain Sisko : Jake, get them a menu!

  Head Officer : But sir...

  Captain Sisko : I would recommend the Shrimp Creole.
