What You Leave Behind (1999)

Avery Brooks: Captain Benjamin 'Ben' Sisko

Quotes 

• Jake Sisko : [discussing O'Brien's move to Earth]  Any idea where you're gonna live?

  O'Brien : No, Keiko and I're still mulling over a few possibilities.

  Worf : Have you ever considered Minsk?

  O'Brien : I don't think that's on our list.

  Sisko : New Orleans is a gorgeous city.

  Kasidy Yates : I've heard great things about Paris.

  Worf : Minsk.

  Lieutenant Ezri Dax : Jadzia loved Rio.

  Odo : Well, you've certainly got a lot of choices.

  O'Brien : Yeah, too many, hm?

  Worf : Minsk.

• Captain Sisko : This may be the last time we're all together. But no matter what the future holds, no matter how far we travel, a part of us - a very important part - will always remain here, on Deep Space Nine.

• Kasidy Yates : When will you be back?

  Captain Sisko : It's hard to say - maybe a year, maybe... yesterday. But I will be back.

  Kasidy Yates : And I will be waiting.

• Kasidy Yates : [after being sick]  Reports of my death have been exaggerated, but not by much. Ooh...

  Jake Sisko : Isn't there something she can take to make her feel better?

  Captain Sisko : She doesn't like taking medication, unless it's absolutely necessary.

  Kasidy Yates : Ooohh...!

  Jake Sisko : Sounds necessary to me.

• Captain Sisko : Ensign, I believe you know the way to Cardassia.

  Nog : If I get lost, I'll just follow the ship in front of us.

• Nog : I lost the Breen ship we were after.

  Captain Sisko : I wouldn't worry about it. There are plenty more to choose from.

• Martok : Before you waste too many tears, remember: these are Cardassians lying dead at your feet. Bajorans would call this poetic justice.

  Captain Sisko : That doesn't mean I have to drink a toast over their bodies.

• [Ben Sisko's last line of the series] 

  Captain Sisko : It's hard to say - maybe a year, maybe... yesterday. But I will be back.

• Captain Sisko : All right, people, what do you say we end this war?

  Chief O'Brien : Sounds good to me.

• Captain Sisko : All right, people, you heard the orders. Let's finish what we started.

• [Dukat is dominating Sisko during a final confrontation in the Fire Caves] 

  Sisko : You are pathetic!

  Gul Dukat : Then why are you the one on your knees?

  Sisko : First the Dominion, now the Pah-wraiths. You have a talent for picking the losing sides...

  [Sisko cries out in pain] 

  Gul Dukat : Benjamin, please, we've known each other too long. And since this is the last time we will ever be together, let's try to speak honestly. We've both had our victories and our defeats. Now it's time to resolve our differences and face the ultimate truth: I've won, Benjamin. You've lost.

  Sisko : [defiantly in pain]  The Pah-wraiths will never conquer anything - not Bajor, not the Celestial Temple, and certainly not the Alpha Quadrant!

  Gul Dukat : And who's going to stop us?

  Sisko : [in pain]  I am!

  Gul Dukat : [laughs]  You can't even stand up.
