Star Trek: Deep Space Nine1993
Odo:
I'd really rather prefer to pass the time quietly.
Lwaxana Troi:
Quietly.
Odo:
Quietly.
Lwaxana Troi:
Of course.
Odo:
Thank you.
Lwaxana Troi:
[sighs] The Quiet Man.
Odo:
Mmm.
Lwaxana Troi:
You know, I've always been attracted to quiet men. Odd, isn't it? But maybe there's more truth than we realize to that old axiom that - [Odo glares at her] - Quietly. [sighs and sits on floor] Odo.
Odo:
[Somewhat annoyed] Yes?
Lwaxana Troi:
I don't think I can.
Odo:
Can what?
Lwaxana Troi:
Well, you don't have to say another word as long as we're here, but, I, I think I really need to talk.
Odo:
I understand. [Sits down next to her] There's nothing to be afraid of.
Lwaxana Troi:
Of course not. [laughs] No, things could be much worse.
Odo:
[Sarcastically] Really?
Lwaxana Troi:
[sighs] My daughter and I were once trapped aboard a Ferengi cargo ship, and it was dreadful. Well, all right, it wasn't actually dreadful. It was mildly lamentable, and it was all because of that loathsome DaiMon. Well, actually he wasn't altogether loathsome. He was just slightly repulsive. But he did have a certain charm, in an insufferable kind of way. Of course, he was totally at the mercy of his uncontrollable passion for me, which means he wasn't ALL bad, now, doesn't it? You know it wasn't all passion. [Odo begins looking at the wall of the lift] There was some negligible commercial interest involved. But, oh, the passion, oh, that was perfectly real, and kind of, um, kind of sweet in a way. He was so helpless. At first it was totally a question of expediency when I made love with him. But, um, what are you looking at?
Odo:
Hmm? Oh, uh, nothing. I was just wondering how many volts are in that exposed circuit. Go on. Go on.
Lwaxana Troi:
Well, frankly, by the time one thing led to another... [he rolls his eyes]
