- Lt. Commander Worf: You were at my wedding. You heard the story of the first two Klingon hearts, and how nothing could stand against them, and how they even destroyed the gods that had created them. I've heard that story since I was a boy; but I never understood it - I mean really understood it. Until I was standing in the jungle, with my heart pounding in my chest. And I found that even I could not stand against my own heart. I had to go back. And it did not matter what Starfleet thought or what the consequences were. She was my wife, and I could not leave her.
- Captain Sisko: One last thing - as a man who had a wife. If Jennifer had been lying in that clearing, I wouldn't have left her either.
- Worf: I have a sense of humor. On the Enterprise, I was considered to be quite amusing.
- Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax: That must've been one dull ship.
- Worf: That is a joke. I get it. It is not funny, but I get it.
- [O'Brien tries to talk Bashir into playing tongo against Quark, but the Doctor is not interested]
- Chief O'Brien: Think of it as a challenge.
- Doctor Bashir: That's your obsession, Miles, not mine.
- Chief O'Brien: Do it for the latinum.
- Doctor Bashir: Nice try.
- Chief O'Brien: Do it for the satisfaction of the look on Quark's face, when he's beaten at a game of tongo by a lowly "Hew-mon".
- Doctor Bashir: Deal the cards.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Very well. Room service.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Really?
- Lt. Commander Worf: Really.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Oh, that was easy.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Did you want to fight over it?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: No, it's just, I didn't expect you to surrender so quickly.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Surrender?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Bad word.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Very bad.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: So, how are you enjoying your honeymoon? Are you suffering enough?
- Lt. Commander Worf: Almost.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Is there anything I can get for you?
- Lt. Commander Worf: More pain - less cold.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: I don't know why that's funny but it is.
- Chief O'Brien: [about tongo] You have absolutely no idea how this game is played, do you?
- Lt. Commander Worf: No. But I have developed a new appreciation for it.
- Chief O'Brien: Since when?
- Lt. Commander Worf: Since I married a tongo player.
- Lasaran: A Klingon! Why did they have to send a Klingon?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: I'm a Trill. Does that make you feel any better?
- Lasaran: Are you trying to be funny?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Not at all. He's the funny one.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Your problem is, you cannot accept change.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: *I* can't accept change?
- Lt. Commander Worf: That is correct.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Oh, you've gotta be kidding! I've changed bodies six times, Worf.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Yes, but you are still very set in your ways.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: And look who's talking.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Well, I do not have to sleep on the same side of the bed every night, or brush my hair exactly fifty strokes every night, or eat the same thing for breakfast every day, or read the last page of the book before the beginning, or lift up the...
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: I get the point! I don't know how you can live with someone so monotonous.
- Lt. Commander Worf: It is not easy... *That* was a joke.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Worf, my love - let me make this very clear: I do not want to spend my honeymoon climbing, hiking, sweating, bleeding or suffering in any way.
- Lt. Commander Worf: All right, what do you want?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Room service.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Room service?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Room Service. I want to be pampered. I want a staff to cater to our every whim. I want to be embarrassed by the size of our room. I want a balcony, with a view that would make you want to break down and cry from the sheer beauty of it all. And I *don't* want to spend one moment of our honeymoon suffering from anything except guilt about our complete self-indulgence.
- [Bashir has lost to Quark in tongo, after some mischievous psycho-babble from the bartender]
- Doctor Bashir: I can't believe I let him get to me.
- Chief O'Brien: Ah, well. Not your fault. Genetically engineered or not, you're still hew-mon.
- [Worf and O'Brien are running a bet - for a bottle of blood wine against a bottle of scotch whiskey respectively - about the outcome of a tongo game between Dax and 206-times-winner Quark, during which Dax seems to come out on top]
- Lt. Commander Worf: [cheering, to O'Brien] I like my blood wine very young and very sweet.
- Quark: [at the tongo table] Is he a friend of yours?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Just a fan.
- Quark: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disappoint all your fans.
- [lays down his cards]
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: [disbelieving] A full consortium?
- Chief O'Brien: [to Worf] 207. A single malt, preferably something from the Highlands.
- Lt. Commander Worf: Of course, our tricorders will be useless from now on.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: There you go again - looking for the cloud in the silver lining.
- Lt. Commander Worf: I am not complaining. I look forward to walking through the jungle without a map and no idea what lies ahead.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Well, the funny thing is, you probably are.
- Doctor Bashir: [after losing to Quark at tongo] Quark, did you really mean all that? About Dax? Being my one last chance for true happiness?
- Quark: Doctor - you don't expect me to show you all my cards, do you?
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: I know how much your career means to you.
- Lt. Commander Worf: You come first - before career, before duty, before anything. I do not regret what I did; and I would do it again.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: I don't know what to say.
- Lt. Commander Worf: You could say 'thank you for saving my life'.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Thank you for saving my life.
- Lt. Commander Worf: And you could say 'I would do the same for you, Worf'.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Well - I'd have to think about that. My career is very important to me, you know.
- [Dax is flying the runabout through an asteroid field]
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Want me to slow down?
- Lt. Commander Worf: No. Unless you think you should.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Not at all. In fact, it could go faster.
- Lt. Commander Worf: By all means.
- Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Oh. A man after my own heart!
