Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Commander Sisko : [to Jake]  You're a great boy, you know that? Now go be with your friend.

• Commander Sisko : Going through my own adolescence was difficult enough. Surviving my son's is going to take a miracle.

• Chief O'Brien : [of Jake]  If he were my son, I'd find a friend for him other than Nog.

  Commander Sisko : I'm afraid that's easier said than done. The two of them have become inseparable.

  Chief O'Brien : I'd find a way to separate them, sir. That Nog's a bad influence.

  Commander Sisko : I appreciate the advice, Chief, but I trust my son. Besides, if I get between them now, it would become me versus Nog, and I'm not going to force Jake to choose between us.

  Chief O'Brien : Why not?

  Commander Sisko : Because I'd probably lose.

  Chief O'Brien : Oh, I doubt that, sir.

  Commander Sisko : That's because your daughter's three. Wait until she's fourteen!

  Jake Sisko : [getting his things together]  Shoes.

  Commander Sisko : [enters]  I have a surprise for you.
