Quotes 

• Arissa : Why are you doing this?

  Odo : Doing what?

  Arissa : Helping me.

  Odo : Why not?

  Arissa : You mean you're just doing this out of the kindness of your heart?

  Odo : I... don't have a heart.

  Arissa : You could have fooled me.

• Odo : I fell in love with a woman who never really existed.

  Arissa : She did exist. She was real. And she loved you. In a way, she still does.

• Arissa : I didn't realize I tripped an alarm.

  Odo : You didn't. You're good.

  Arissa : I still got caught.

  Odo : I've been following you.

  Arissa : I didn't know.

  Odo : I'm good too.

• Odo : Are you waiting for someone?

  Arissa : You. Where have you been all my life?

  Odo : Pardon me?

  Arissa : Isn't that what you were hoping I'd say?

  Odo : It's just that you keep glancing at the door.

  Arissa : I'm waiting for someone.

  Odo : That's all I meant.

  Arissa : Sorry, I thought you had other things on your mind. Must be those bedroom eyes of yours.

• Arissa : I was a net-girl. I told myself I wasn't selling my body since there was no actual contact. But I was. I let men into my mind for money. Draim was one of them. That's how we first met. Before I knew it I was working for him. He payed me more than I'd ever seen before. I was so far removed from the consequences of what I was doing, it was easy to pretend that I wasn't hurting anyone. I'd hear things now and then... Some businessman Draim had me investigate would disappear. I tried to convince myself it had nothing to do with me. But after a while I couldn't pretend anymore. I wanted out. I guess I'm finally going to get my wish. Only problem is, I'll be dead. Oh, I don't want to cry. The dead don't cry.

• Arissa : I've never been admired for anything other than the way I look.

  Odo : Most people can't see past the surface - especially when what they see is so beautiful.

• Odo : So, did you find anything in Tauvid's locker?

  Arissa : Would you believe me if I said no?

  Odo : Actually, I'd have you strip searched.

  Arissa : That might be fun.

• Arissa : You keep threatening to have me stripped down and examined. I'm trying not to read too much into that.

• [last lines] 

  Arissa : I'll never forget you, Odo. Never.
