Quotes9

  • Doctor Bashir: I am aware that aging is part of the natural process of life; it's just that I don't wanna be reminded of it, that's all. And look, Garak - in two days I turn thirty. If I choose to be grumpy about it, that's my prerogative!
  • Garak: Oh, by all means, Doctor, be as grumpy as you like.
  • Doctor Bashir: Well, thank you for the support!
  • Quark: You know, we just introduced a new lunch menu at the bar.
  • Doctor Bashir: [edgy] Goodbye, Quark.
  • Garak: Don't take it personally. He's turning thirty.
  • Garak: I admire your tenacity, Doctor, but it's over. Look at yourself. Your bones are as brittle as twigs, you can't catch your breath; you can't even stand, let alone walk.
  • Doctor Bashir: But other than that, I feel wonderful!
  • Doctor Bashir: One thing's for sure, you know. After experiencing life at a hundred plus, turning thirty doesn't seem that bad anymore.
  • Garak: In that case: happy birthday.
  • Doctor Bashir: [describing the real Altovar after surviving his telepathic attack] He barely got two meters before Odo arrested him.
  • Garak: It sounds like he was a lot more dangerous in your mind than he was in the real world.
  • [last lines]
  • Garak: You know, Doctor, what I find most fascinating about this entire incident is how your unconscious mind chose people you know to represent the various parts of your personality.
  • Doctor Bashir: Well, it did make things interesting.
  • Garak: And what I find interesting, is how your mind ended up casting me in the role of the villain.
  • Doctor Bashir: Oh, I wouldn't read too much into that, Garak.
  • Garak: Oh, how can I not? To think, after all this time, all our lunches together, you still don't trust me. There is hope for you yet, Doctor.
  • Garak: Your hair - it seems to be turning gray.
  • Doctor Bashir: So I've noticed.
  • Garak: I guess you had reason to feel worried about turning thirty after all. Either that, or your job is even more stressful than I thought.
  • Garak: I wasn't aware that humans saw growing old as a negative experience. On Cardassia, advanced age is seen as a sign of power and dignity.
  • Doctor Bashir: [to Garak; Julian Bashir is talking about his coma-induced vision and Altovar] I did some checking Letheans. Their telepathic attacks are almost always fatal. I guess I was lucky.
  • Garak: Cardassians don't believe in luck, Doctor. You survived because you're strong.
