What is your favourite conversation/exchange between Star Trek Characters?

***

Sisko: Dukat? I was asking to speak to someone in the civilian government.

Dukat: And you have succeeded. You are speaking to the new military advisor to the Detapa Council.

Sisko: Does that mean you've turned your back on the Central Command?

Dukat: As a soldier in the Cardassian Military, my loyalty lies with the legitimate Cardassian Government, whomever that might be.

Sisko: In other words, you saw which way the wind was blowing and switched sides.

Dukat: It seemed like a good idea at the time.

***

Bashir: There's something I still need to know.

Garak: My dear doctor, i have given you all the answers I am capable of.

Bashir: You've given me answers alright, but they were all different! What I want to know is: out of all the stories you've told me, which were true and which weren't?

Garak: My dear Doctor, the were all true.

Bashir: Even the lies?

Garak: Especially the lies.

    Dukat and Garak both had awesome lines.

    Q: (utterly dumbfounded) You hit me. Picard never hit me.
    The Sisko: I'm not Picard.

    And one from the novel Federation:
    DaiMon Pol: If the Federation has other pieces of Borg technology, then why has the Alliance not heard about it?
    Riker: Perhaps because the Federation pays Ferengi spies more than the Ferengi do.

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      Quark: I want you to try some of this. (hands Garak a drink)
      Garak (recoiling in disgust): Ugh! What is that?
      Quark: Something from the Federation. It's called 'Root Beer'.
      Garak: It's so... cloying and sweet.
      Quark: Just like the Federation. And you know the worst part?
      Garak: What?
      Quark: After a while, you start to like it.
      Garak: It's insidious!
      Quark: Just like the Federation. You think the humans can save us all?
      Garak: I certainly hope so.

      TROI: Will, I think we have to tell him the truth.
      RIKER: If we tell the truth the timeline...
      TROI: Timeline! This is no time to argue about time. We don't have the time! ...What was I saying?
      RIKER: You're drunk.
      TROI: I am not.
      RIKER: You are.
      TROI: Look. He wouldn't even talk to me unless I had a drink with him. And then it took three shots of something called tequila just to find out he was the one we're looking for. And I've spent the last twenty minutes trying to keep his hands off me. So don't go criticising my counselling techniques. ...It's a primitive culture. I'm just trying to blend in.
      RIKER: You're blending all right.

      (and later on...)

      COCHRANE: I gotta take a leak!
      LAFORGE: Leak? I'm not detecting any leak.
      COCHRANE: Don't you people from the twenty-fourth century ever pee?​​

      Damar: [after Worf has killed Weyoun 7] They'll just make another copy of him, you know. You should've killed me. There's only one Damar.
      Lt. Commander Worf: I will keep that in mind.

      Weyoun: The Founder - she wishes to see me. She has to be told about this.
      Damar: Oh, I'm sure she'll understand. But if she doesn't, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9.

      That's a nice little clip, actually. I also think back in TOS when Dahar Master Kor and Capt Kirk spoke, Kor mentioned that Humans and Klingons weren't really that different from each other whether Kirk liked it or not.
