• Captain Sisko : [of Ezri]  She's a Dax. Sometimes they don't think. They just do.

• Captain Sisko : Vedek Oram wanted me to visit his monastery. We took a transport across the mountains. The sun was just going down, and the entire valley was shimmering in the light. And I said to myself, *this*... is the place, this is where I'm going to build my house.

• Captain Sisko : Maybe someday, I'll retire here.

  Kasidy Yates : Ah! Oh, I could see you now - sitting in your rocking chair, watching the sun set over the mountains every night... wondering where you put your teeth.

  Captain Sisko : Just like my great-great-grandfather - in the glass, next to the chair.

• Kasidy Yates : About the guest list - I wanted to keep it... small, just family and friends.

  Captain Sisko : Well, that's fine by me, there's only room for 30 or 40 people in the wardroom. -... - Kasidy, what else do we need to talk about? I have the feeling we're forgetting something.

  Kasidy Yates : You tell me. You're the one who's been married before.

  Captain Sisko : Well, that's just it, it was a lot more complicated before.

  Kasidy Yates : People get carried away with weddings. I... just want it to be nice and simple.

• Saghi : Can I be one of your dais bearers?

  Kasidy Yates : My what, honey?

  Saghi : For the bridal procession. I know you can only choose 51 girls, but it would be such an honor for me.

  Kasidy Yates : Well, um...

  Saghi : People are saying it's gonna be the biggest wedding Bajor's ever seen.

  Kasidy Yates : They are?

  Saghi : The Emissary's getting married!

  Kasidy Yates : Ben...?

  Captain Sisko : [looking over to the Promenade...]  Kasidy... I think this is going to be a little more complicated than we thought.

  [... where a crowd of Bajorans has gathered to catch a glimpse of the Emissary and his bride-to-be] 

• Captain Sisko : Let's get married.

• [Sisko has appointed Jake to be his best man] 

  Jake Sisko : Best man, huh?

  Captain Sisko : Yes.

  Jake Sisko : That means I get to plan the bachelor party!

• Captain Sisko : From the moment I set foot on this station, nothing has turned out the way I imagined it. This was supposed to be just a temporary assignment. But it's become much more than that. I guess I was meant to come here. You see, it's almost like my... my...

  Kasidy Yates : Destiny.

  Captain Sisko : Destiny, yes.

  Kasidy Yates : I guess when your mother turns out to be part Prophet or part wormhole alien or whatever it is you want to call her, words like 'destiny' begin to mean something.

• Sarah Sisko : You are the Sisko. You are part of me.

  Captain Sisko : If that's true, if you really do care about me, if you do consider me your son, then let me have this!

  Sarah Sisko : It is not for you to have. There are still many tasks ahead of you.

• Sarah Sisko : You must walk the path alone.

  Captain Sisko : You're not listening to me. I want to spend my life with her.

  Sarah Sisko : If you do, you will know nothing but sorrow.

• [first lines] 

  Captain Sisko : There are a few wild moba trees here and a creek that runs through the meadows and into the forest. Nice spot, huh?

  Kasidy Yates : Bajor, right?

  Captain Sisko : The Kendra Province, just south of the Yolja River. I was there the other day.

  Kasidy Yates : I thought you went to a conference in Rakantha.

  Captain Sisko : I did.

• [last lines] 

  Sarah Sisko : Accept your fate. Your greatest trial is about to begin. Don't be afraid. All will be as it should be.

  Captain Sisko : Mother...

  Sarah Sisko : Stay on the path... Benjamin.

• Captain Sisko : We're going to be married.

  Sarah Sisko : That is not your destiny.

  Captain Sisko : My destiny is my own.
