• Captain Sisko : Admiral...

  Admiral Whatley : What is it, Ben?

  Captain Sisko : Your son. You can stop worrying about him. He forgives you.

  [walks on] 

  Admiral Whatley : How the hell did he know that Kevin and I weren't getting along?

  Doctor Bashir : He's the Emissary.

• Captain Sisko : When I said that Bajor should wait before it joins the Federation, I have never felt so certain about anything in my life.

  Admiral Whatley : I was afraid you would say that, Ben.

• Captain Sisko : Admiral, for what it's worth, I wish things had turned out differently.

  Admiral Whatley : So do I.

  Captain Sisko : But it's not over. One day, Bajor will join the Federation. That I'm sure of.

  Admiral Whatley : Are you speaking as a Starfleet captain or as the Emissary of the Prophets?

  Captain Sisko : Both.

  Admiral Whatley : In that case I'll keep the champagne on ice.

• Admiral Whatley : The Bajorans requested that the signing ceremony take place on your station. So make sure you spruce up that floating bicycle wheel of yours.

• Captain Sisko : Locusts! They'll destroy Bajor, unless it stands alone!

  Admiral Whatley : Ben, what the hell are you talking about?

  Captain Sisko : It's too soon. Bajor must not join the Federation. If it does, it will be destroyed!

• Admiral Whatley : I knew we were headed for trouble the minute he allowed the Bajorans to call him Emissary.
