[first lines]
Commander Sisko : Personal log, stardate 47329.4 - I finally realize why I've had trouble sleeping the last few nights. Yesterday was the 4th anniversary of the massacre at Wolf 359, the fourth anniversary of Jennifer's death. I'm not sure what bothers me more, the date itself, or the fact that it almost passed unnoticed.

[Sisko and Fenna are looking at the stars]
Commander Sisko : The Bajorans call that constellation the Runners. I can never figure out if they're running toward something or away from something.
Fenna : Does that matter? Sometimes it just feels good to run.
Commander Sisko : I never thought about it that way.

Commander Sisko : [O'Brien is working on a conduit, with the occasional spark flying] Is this maintenance or repair?
Chief O'Brien : Right now, it's maintenance. Five will get you ten it'll be repair by the time I'm through.
Commander Sisko : Admit it, Chief: if you were on a station where everything worked, you'd be miserable.
Chief O'Brien : Well, you may be right, sir
[spark]
Chief O'Brien : but I'd be willing to give it a try.

Dr. Gideon Seyetik : [reciting from a poem by G'trok] "So honor the valiant who die 'neath your sword."
Commander Sisko : "But pity the warrior who slays all his foes."

Commander Sisko : That's one of the great things about this station: you never know what's going to happen next... or who you're going to meet.

Major Kira : Commander, do you think he'd notice if we weren't here when he got back?
Commander Sisko : Don't even think about it, Major. I have had dinner with about two dozen Bajoran ministers, I think you owe me this one. Besides, Seyetik is one of the Federation's greatest minds.
Major Kira : I know, he told me.

Commander Sisko : I'm looking for someone - a woman.
Odo : Name?
Commander Sisko : Fenna.
Odo : First name or last?
Commander Sisko : I don't know.
Odo : Species?
Commander Sisko : I don't know. Humanoid.
Odo : What ship did she arrive on?
Commander Sisko : I... don't know.
Odo : Well - what *can* you tell me about her?
Commander Sisko : Let's see - I'd say she's about... 1.6 meters tall, brown skin, dark hair, and the last time I saw her, she was wearing a... She was wearing *red*!
Odo : Well, that's something anyway.
Commander Sisko : Do you think you can help me?
Odo : I don't know.
Commander Sisko : I need to find her, Constable. I think she may be in some kind of trouble.
Odo : What kind of trouble? Ah - let me guess: you don't know.

Jake Sisko : Dad - are you in love?
Commander Sisko : What?
Jake Sisko : You know, with a woman. You're showing all three of the signs.
Commander Sisko : Signs?
Jake Sisko : The ones that Nog told me about: loss of appetite, daydreaming, smiling all the time...

Dr. Gideon Seyetik : So, what were we talking about?
Commander Sisko : You.
Dr. Gideon Seyetik : Ha! Of course, my favorite subject.

[last lines]
Nidell : I wish that I could remember Fenna - what she did... how she felt, but I can't, I'm sorry.
Commander Sisko : That's all right. I can remember for both of us.
Nidell : Tell me one thing.
Commander Sisko : If I can.
Nidell : What was she like?
Commander Sisko : Fenna?
[he turns to look her in the face]
Commander Sisko : She was just like you.

[Jake is telling his father about his dream]
Jake Sisko : ...I guess I got a little scared and started looking for you. But I couldn't find you. Some... somehow I ended up in ops, but you weren't in your... you weren't in your office. And... and then... it was like... like the- like the floor started sloping, and-and I couldn't keep my balance. And all I wanted to do is find you.
Commander Sisko : And here I am.
