Look, I need a miracle here. Bajor needs a miracle. Stop those ships!

Benjamin Sisko: I haven't met Worf's son yet. What's he like?
Martok: Well, he's a fine boy... dedicated, eager. He has the heart of his father... but he's not the best soldier I've ever seen.
[cut to Alexander telling a story in Quark's]
Alexander Rozhenko: ...but when he ordered me to bring the system back on line, I thought he was still talking about the hydrostatic system, so...
Jadzia Dax: You didn't engage the pumps while the check valves were open?
Worf: He did.
Alexander: I flooded the entire deck with superheated hydraulic fluid. It took me three days to clean up! But I swear, it still smells like burned dog hair in there.

Martok: We are Klingons. We don't embrace other cultures, we conquer them.
TV Show: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Martok: [to Worf, before his wedding] We are not accorded the luxury of choosing the women we fall in love with. Do you think Sirella is anything like the woman I thought I'd marry? She is a mercurial, arrogant, prideful woman who shares my bed far too infrequently for my taste. And yet... I love her deeply. We Klingons often tout our prowess in battle and our desire for honor and glory above all else... but how hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with. And Honor gives little comfort to a man alone in his home... and in his heart.

Brunt: Let's do it for an equal share of fifty bars of gold-pressed latinum. That they can all agree on.
Gaila: It always comes down to profit with you people, doesn't it?
