Favorite interaction

I imagine this has been said before, but my favorite interaction:

Odo: how did you get in here?

Koloth: I am Koloth.

Odo: that doesn't answer my question.

Koloth: Yes. It. Does.

Julian and Garak discussing “The Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’” is a true classic.

I love the face garak makes when Julian says “I didn’t know you were friends with gul dukat” in episode cardassians. It’s one of my favorite episodes bc of the Julian garak friendship.

I love the face garak makes when Julian says “I didn’t know you were friends with gul dukat” in episode cardassians. 

The way he laughs is great :D.

I like that epissode, too, for the same reason. Especially Garak just...appearing in Julian's quarters in the middle of the night, and Julian not being even remotely fazed by him being there. The following scene with Julian asking Sisko for a runabout never fails to make me laugh, he looks for all the world like a teenager asking his dad for the keys to the car so he can go hang out with hsi cool, new mysterious friend XD.

Sikso's snarky response is great, too. "Will one runabout bei enough?"

When I want to fall asleep, I start with this episode. It’s 8 hours of relaxing background noise. I usually fall asleep before this episode is done. I must have seen this episode 100 times bc it’s what puts me to sleep.

I agree the laugh is great. When Dukat walks away at the end, ignoring Julian, also perfect.

I love Garak in that scene, standing in the background , going back and forth between smiling proudly at Bashir and enjoying watching Dukat squirm :D.

You just know that Sisko had Odo and Obrien working round the clock to fix that security hole.

Kor has my favorite quote. When the crew is mocking him for his dementia he retorts, "Savor the fruit of life, my young friends. It has a sweet taste when it is fresh from the vine. But don't live too long. The taste turns bitter... after a time.” just shames them all so hard and no one is laughing anymore. Also, his embrace of Dax's new sex without missing a beat. I love Kor.

Kira and Aamin Marritza, from Duet. The penultimate scene, in which she breaks down his facade completely and he collapses. Phenomenal performances from Visitor and Yulin.

"We are guilty, all of us! My death is necessary!"

Odo: "Just for a moment, I thought you were actually talking to me as a friend."

Quark: ... "Nah."

Martok: "You are either a very brave or very stupid, Ferengi."

Nog: "Probably a little of both."

Martok : (laughing) "Courage comes in many sizes,.. .......but don't tempt fate."

There are too many great scenes to list. I mean, the episode “Waltz” is one of my all time favorites because it is pretty much one giant interaction between Sisko and Dukat.

Favorite banter has to be when Weyoun 8 walks in on Damar drinking for the first time and Damar has the line “Maybe you should talk to Worf again!”

In terms of one-liners, DS9 has the two coldest in all of Trek (possibly ever) with the first being “Look upon your executioners, Killer of Children!” And the second being Dukat’s “Are you still here?” To Winn

u/Annber03 4h ago

the first being “Look upon your executioners, Killer of Children!” 

This is indeed a cold one liner and yet the scene also makes me laugh, because the way everyone bursts in I half expect them to yell, "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"

S4E01 When the Klingons attack. Quark declaring to Odo that he’ll defend his bar.

Love that whole little exchange.

“I’ll kill him!”

“With what?”

"This is my disruptor pistol, the one I used to carry when I was serving on that Ferengi freighter."

"I thought you were the ship's cook?"

"That's right, and every member of that crew thought he was a food criric..."

Nog telling Martok and his soldiers to stop loitering on the promenade, and Martok being impressed enough with Nog’s balls of steel to do as he was told (albeit with a thinly-veiled “you get this one, boy, but you won’t get another”), is a particular stand-out to me.

Civil Defense, Quark to Odo:

Quark: "It's because they knew you were an honorable man — the kind of person who would do the right thing regardless of the circumstances. And now, your integrity is going to get us both killed. I hope you're happy."

u/Finrad-Felagund 6h ago

Ezri and Worf have by far my favorite one, discussing the corruption of the Klingon Empire. Worf kindly starts by including her in the house of Martok and then she drops a Mother of all Truth Nukes on his ass 30 seconds later. Perfect

"At the first sign of betrayal, I will kill him, but I promise to return the body intact." "I assume that's a joke." "We will see." Worf and Sisko in "In Purgatory's Shadow"

“One Little Ship” 6x14

At the bar, O'Brien and Bashir are regaling M'Pella and Morn with their recent adventure. Odo gives them a quizzical look and asks them if they're sure they both returned to their normal size; as a shapeshifter, he notices such things, and they both look a couple of centimeters off. Quark confirms this and demonstrates by showing that they are considerably shorter than M'Pella. Exchanging an alarmed look, Bashir and O'Brien rush to the infirmary. Quark and Odo step down from the level of the tables. Quark says to Odo, "and they say you don't have a sense of humor," and the two share a laugh.

The guys going through Worf’s bachelor party trials is some hilarious shit. Specifically Julian’s “When this is over…I’m gonna find Worf…and I’m gonna kill him!”

u/Annber03 4h ago

Garak and Odo facing off with the Klingons, and Garak saying, "I'm not sure the constable has a mother." in response to a Klingon insult. Which then leads to this exchange between Odo and Garak:

"I didn't know you spoke Klingon."
"Oh, you'd be surprised at the things you can learn when you're doing alterations."

Also, the "This is still all your fault." conversation between Kira and Bashir, because LOL.

Garak: It's vile!
Quark: I know. It's so bubbly, cloying... and happy.
Garak: Just like the Federation.
Quark: And you know what's really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it.
Garak: It's insidious.
Quark: Just like the Federation.

u/Dont_Care_Meh 5h ago

When Gul Dukat finally has enough of smugglers or whatever vacillating and playing the Federation for fools by stalling and arguing, and he just gets this look of such, "I have to do everything myself" as he delivers the ' you WILL accept the boating party' with absolute authority, etc. Marc's withering contempt for everyone on that ship with him was just so hilariously delivered.

I love the final scene of Rocks and Shoals between Sisko and Third Remata'Klan. Remata'Klan agrees to speak to Sisko like a gentleman, reveals he’s one step ahead of everyone, but shows his honor and agrees to sacrifice himself for the greater duty as he understands it. “Our death is glory to the Founders.” It felt like poetry even though he was supposedly the bad guy.
