DS9 Intro page
Kira: You Klaestrons are allys of the Cardassians, your knowledge of the station confirms that. They must have given you the layout, which not only compromises Bajoran security, but also annoys us.
Dax
Kira: I'm sure all you Starfleet explorers find this absolutely fascinating. But I'm a Bajoran administrator. This is not what I signed up for.
Move Along Home
Mullibok: You know, you look real good, even from this angle,but you know something, you walk like a carnivorous rastopod.
Kira: Now look! (Pauses, then smiles) You're trying to make me mad.
Mullibok: How 'm I doing?
Kira: Not well enough to get rid of me.
Mullibok: Damn!
Progress
Kira: When I was very small, I remember there was this tree right outside my window. It was the ugliest, most knarled and battered old tree I'd ever seen. Even the birds stayed away form it.
Mullibok: But you loved it.
Kira: I hated it, because it had grown so huge, its branches blocked out the sun for kelipates, and its roots buried themselves so deep in the soil nothing else could grow there. It was a big, selfish, annoying...
Mullibok: Nasty...
Kira: Nasty! Nasty old tree.
Mullibok: Sounds to me like it had a lot of character.
Kira, after a pause: A lot.
Progress
Sisko: Look, I understand you're used to sympathizing with the underdog. You've risked your life fighting to overcome impossible odds just like he's doing. But you have to realize something, Major - you're on the other side now. Pretty uncomfortable, isn't it?
Kira, close to tears: It's awful.
Progress
Kira: But she's teaching a fundamentally different philosophy -
Keiko: I'm not teaching any "philosophy." What I'm trying to teach is pure science.
Kira: Some might say pure science taught without a spiritual context is a philosophy, Mrs O'Brien.
In the Hands of the Prophets
Haneek on men: They're very useful.
Kira: Yes, I can imagine they are.
Sanctuary
Mirror Kira, referring to "our" Kira: Find this ... attractive young woman some quarters.
Crossover
Kira: You should have taken us back to the wormhole.
Odo: You didn't object at the time.
Kira: I was unconscious.
The Search
Ziyal: When I look at my father, I have a hard time seeing a murderer.
Kira: And when I look at him, I have a hard time seeing anything else.
Return to Grace
Kira: That's the thing about faith. If you don't have it, you can't understand it, and if you do have it, no explanation is necessary.
Accession
Ducat, seeing Kira's pregnancy: I hope First Minister Shakaar appreciates what a lucky man he is.
Kira: Shakaar's not the father.
Ducat: Then who is?
Kira: Chief O'Brien. (Ducat is astonished; Kira walks off.)
Apocalypse Rising
Ducat: Major, sorry to disturb you.
Kira: Sorry enough to leave?
Ties of Blood and Water
Kira: Captain. As the Major in the Bajoran Militia, I must officially protest Starfleet's refusal to turn over this station to my government.
Sisko: Your protest is duly noted.
Kira: Good. Now that that's over with, Kira Nerys reporting for duty.
Call to Arms
Kira: Dukat wanted the station back - he can have it.
Call to Arms
Odo: I'm not going to do it. No dinner invitations, no flowers, no attempts to change the nature of our relationship. Until the current crisis is past, we both need our minds to be clear, to be free of distractions.
Kira: That's probably a good idea! So for now, all we need to concern ourselves with is deploying the minefield, maintaining station security, and preparing ourselves for a possible invasion!
Odo: Well, I don't know about you, but I feel more comfortable already!
Call to Arms
Ducat, intimately: I could make things very pleasant for you here, Kira.
Kira, just as intimately: You could start by doing something about your breath.
