DS9 Intro page
Dax: Julian, Trills do not look for romance the same way humans do. In fact, we find it quite a nuisance.
Bashir: What, a nuisance?
Dax: It's a weakness of the young, and although a Trill host may have these ... feelings occasionally, it is our wish to live on a higher plane, to try to rise above these kinds of temptations.
Bashir: Well, you said "try" to rise above, which suggests you don't always succeed.
Dax: Julian!
A Man Alone
Dax: I'd forgotten how different this was.
Kira: How different what was?
Dax: Being female. I haven't been one in over eighty years. All this attention!
Babel
Dax: I've been a mother three times and a father twice.
Sisko: Which was easier?
Dax: Actually, I wasn't very successful either way.
The Nagus
Dax: We all have fantasies and dreams we keep to ourselves - thoughts that should remain private.
Bashir: I'm glad you understand.
Dax: Of course I understand. I was a young man once.
Bashir: So we can put all this behind us.
Dax: Of course.
Bashir: Good. The computer seems to be having trouble finding a match.
Dax: She really is submissive, isn't she?
If Wishes were Horses
Bashir: She has a sense of humour, as I've always imagined you do.
Dax: I could use one about now.
If Wishes were Horses
Dax, creeped out by creepy-crawlies: OH! Whoah! What's that, is that a spider or a dog??
Kira: Palucko. The Bajoran moons are full of them.
Dax: Oh. I suppose you used to make them your pets, and sing songs about them round the campfire.
Kira: No. We used to eat 'em.
The Seige
Dax: Without navigational sensors -
Kira: We'll have to fly by the seat of our pants.
Dax: Great! Seat-of-the-pants technology.
Kira: You Starfleet types are too dependent on gadgets and gizmos. You lose your natural instinct for survival.
Dax: My natural instincts for survival told me not to climb aboard this thing. I'd say they're functioning pretty well.
The Seige
Odo: That's a very personal question.
Dax: I'm sorry, but after seven lifetimes, impersonal questions aren't much fun anymore.
Shadowplay
Bashir: Nobody said life was fair.
Dax: Even if you've had seven of them.
Equilibrium
Dax: If you want to know who you are, it's important to know who you've been.
Equilibrium
Dural, admiring Dax's spots: How far down do they go?
Dax: All the way.
Meridian
Dax: Tobin, I don't think Chief O'Brien is going to appreciate you biting his nails.
Facets
Worf: It would not be a fair match.
Dax: I'll go easy on you.
Way of the Warrior
Dax: Thanks... trying to rescue me.
Bashir: A lot of good it did you.
Dax: I mean it. It's funny. A year ago, if you'd done something like this, I would have thought you were just trying to be a hero.
Bashir: And now?
Dax: Now that I know you better, I realize, it's just a really stupid thing to do.
Bashir: You're welcome.
Starship Down
Jem Hadar: How old are you?
Dax: I stopped counting at 300.
Jem Hadar: You don't look it.
Dax: Thank you.
To the Death
O'Brien: It's funny. I've served on half a dozen different ships and none of them have had cloaking devices except the Defiant. Now that we're not using it, I feel naked.
Worf: It is disconcerting, to say the least.
Sisko: Gentlemen, I feel the same breeze you do.
O'Brien to Dax: What you you smiling at?
Dax: I don't know, I guess it's just being in the same room as so many naked men.
Broken Link
Dax: I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing. It's a curse.
The Assignment
Dax: Who says there's never a Klingon around when you need one?
