Major Kira : You don't think Starfleet took command of this space station without the ability to defend it, do you?
Gul Jasad : [laughing] Defend it? Your space station could not defend itself against *one* Cardassian warship.
Major Kira : You're probably right, Jasad. And if you were dealing with a Starfleet officer, they'd probably admit... we have a hopeless cause here. But I am just a Bajoran, who's been fighting a hopeless cause against the Cardassians... all her life. So if you want a war - I'll give you one!
[appearing intimidated, Jasad disconnects]
Chief O'Brien : Major - remind me never to get into a game of Roladan Wild Draw with you.
-
Dr. Bashir : Oh, this will be perfect - real... frontier medicine!
Major Kira : Frontier medicine?
Dr. Bashir : Major, I had my choice of any job in the Fleet.
Major Kira : [mocking] Did you?
Dr. Bashir : I didn't want some cushy job or a research grant; I wanted *this* - the farthest reaches of the galaxy, one of the most remote outposts available. This is where the adventure is. This is where heroes are made. Right here - in the wilderness.
Major Kira : This "wilderness"... is my home.
-
Major Kira : [seeing Sisko for the first time, testily] Yes?
Commander Benjamin Sisko : I'm Benjamin Sisko.
Major Kira : I suppose you want the office.
Commander Benjamin Sisko : [jovially] Well, I thought I'd say 'hello' first, and then take the office. But we could do it in any order you like.
Major Kira : [sarcastically] Hello.
-
Quark : New rules?
Major Kira : You can't cheat every customer who walks through the door anymore, Quark. You are a community leader now.
Quark : Very well, very well, perhaps we could discuss these new rules over a drink.
[Kira suddenly grabs Quark at his shirt]
Major Kira : [invidiously] If you don't take that hand off my hip, you'll never be able to raise a glass with it again.
Quark : Oh, I love a woman in uniform!
-
Major Kira : I cannot justify taking you into this wormhole. We have no idea what we're dealing with in there; it could be hostile...
Odo : Major, I was found in the Denorios Belt. I don't know where I came from. No idea if there are any others like me. All my life I've been forced to pass myself off as one of you, always wondering who I really am. Well, the answers to a lot of my questions may be somewhere on the other side of that wormhole.

[Major Kira's first line of the series]
Major Kira : They become meaningless.
-
Sisko : I was just talking with our good neighbor Quark. He's laying odds that the government's going to fall.
Major Kira : Quark knows a good bet when he hears one. This government will be gone in a week, and so will you.
Sisko : What happens to Bajor then?
Major Kira : Civil war.
-
[Dr. Bashir has romanticized about the "wilderness" of Bajor's galactic sector]
Major Kira : The Cardassians left behind a lot of injured people, Doctor. You can make yourself useful by bringing your Federation medicine to the natives. Oh, you'll find them a friendly, simple folk.
-
Major Kira : Time to be a hero.
Dr. Bashir : Yes, sir!
-
Kira Nerys : You are throwing it all away... all of you!
Bajoran Bureaucrat : You're being a fool!
Kira Nerys : Well, then, don't ask my opinion next time!
-
Major Kira : Our religion is the only thing that holds my people together.
-
[during the battle]
Odo : [over comm] Odo to Ops!
Kira Nerys : Go ahead.
Odo : I've got wounded people down here! Have you seen that doctor of your anywhere?
Dr. Bashir : I'm on my way!
