• [Bashir has been assigned to chaperone a trio of visiting diplomats] 

  Commander Sisko : Think of it as an opportunity, Doctor. You never know when a friendly ambassador is going to be in the right place at the right time to help your career.

  Dr. Julian Bashir : Another hour with them could destroy my career!

  Commander Sisko : It's a simple job: just keep them happy, and away from me.

  Dr. Julian Bashir : Simple? Nothing makes them happy! They are dedicated to being unhappy, and to spreading that unhappiness wherever they go! They are the Ambassadors of Unhappy!

• Commander Sisko : All of us have had these assignments, Doctor.

  Dr. Julian Bashir : Have you, sir?

  Commander Sisko : As a matter of fact, Curzon Dax used to take perverse pleasure in assigning me to take care of V.I.P. guests.

  Dr. Julian Bashir : Ah, so now you take the same perverse pleasure in doing it to me.

  Commander Sisko : Exactly!
