The fact that Quark was included shows the begrudging respect that Kira has for him. It's like Odo. He will never admit it but he would miss Quark

[@jeffbaker4669]

The line 'These are my...these are my friends' is really well earned. At the start of the series she doesn't really have friends. She's standoffish, and doesn't fully trust starfleet. Suddenly, she's talking to some guy and then she realizes, she's part of a family, a family that she helped bring together, and she was never really aware of it. Also, it's just a great moment in anyone's life when when a new friend refers to you as 'my friend' to a stranger.

[@Afterburner215]

It's like a stage play

[@snsm6730]

The scene is excellent and what you might see on a stage. I understand many of the actors on DS9 had extensive stage experience. The actors stay in character in this scene and although its extended it is enjoyable to watch...

[@jerodast]

"Writer Peter Allan Fields based the scene in Kira's quarters, where everyone comes to say goodbye to her, on a scene in the 1935 film A Night at the Opera, starring the Marx Brothers." So, yes, it is very much like a stage play :)

[@OptionalOG]

@@Afterburner215 Thats why this show is so great. Every scene feels like they're giving it their all in a stage play. The performances feel different than most tv of the time.

[@ReaverLordTonus]

Funny how Odo was the first one there and the most upset she's leaving. Even if the writers hadn't planned on shipping him and Kira at the time they definitely laid the groundwork well enough.

[@jerodast]

The background of a bond between Odo and Kira as the two old hands on the station had always been there though, which is why the eventual romance actually worked to some degree :)

[@calhoun24]

This is why I bought and loved the romance when it came along. It’s clear in the scene that Odo is the most upset, and has the most to say. He wants her to stay, fight for her position, and let bureaucracy be damned, but she will not get in the way of someone that she admires, even if she wants to stay. Even then, they were more than willing to fight for each other. It’s like these two lost souls found each other. Garnered a friendship when the Cardies left. She was brought on as the liaison officer and first officer after being a freedom fighter, and he was asked to maintain station security in the transition. The first two regular occupants and caretakers of DS9, possibly even before O’Brien arrived to assess the damage and detritus left behind. No wonder there was a level of understanding between them out of the gate.

[@daviniarobbins9298]

Well I think you only argue with someone like that if you are in love with them and have some feelings for them.

[@revelsisco4656]

a little late here but yeah, what makes Kira + Odo so potent when they do it is that outside of any romantic implications or thoughts, Kira and Odo have been through shit together not just as close coworkers but as close friends. I don’t mean to hate on Jadzia + Worf, but their relationship was introduced when the two characters were barely even friends, it actually seemed like they were annoyed with each other. My gf is on her first watch and she’s like “they don’t have any chemistry!” And I never realized until she pointed it out. So with that in mind, I’ve been watching all the interactions between Kira and Odo and it’s not flirtatious or shallow or anything, they’re good friends. Kira looked forward to the criminal activity report in his office, Odo was happy to get a raktajino ready for her just how she likes it every morning. Idk if they were saying Odo had a crush when this scene happened, but it’s easy to believe that he cares this deeply about Kira as her close friend

[@bobpage6597]

1:30......"How can you be chatting about skin lotion at a time like this?!!" - I don't know if it was intentional, but Odo's clear frustration just makes me laugh. He's normally so calm and reserved, yet here he's practically having a breakdown.

[@Fletchman1313]

That and he absolutely has no use for skin lotion himself.

[@Rubyofthedead]

In his defense, he didn’t want his friend, someone that has done well in her position as liaison / first officer, to leave. For someone to show up and discuss skin lotion is not necessarily what he would call Priority One.

ihatemegatron216 I don’t think too many. You can see the cuts in the scene and can fix the cadence in editing

[@jerodast]

Memory Alpha / Deep Space Nine Companion says just one for the master shot! Plus some more for closeups.

Next the queen of England comes in..."Your majesty!"

[@gillianrosheuvel6750]

This scene is so good it makes me cry. When Kira says "These are my...these are my friends," I do in fact well up.

[@GoranNewsum]

"These are my friends"...What, even Quark?

[@djargus]

Yes, even Quark. When Quark was captured by the Dominion along with Sisko, Odo told Kira that "You'd miss him too." and she stated, "I'm willing to take that chance." then stopped, thought about it, got choked up and said, "But not today." Both Odo and Kira are friends with Quark, even though they are also adversaries.

[@KnightRaymund]

Why do you think she hesitated?

[@blueberry1vom1t]

we all have that one fuckin dumbass friend who we think we barely tolerate but we would actually miss their stupid antics if they went missing. If you don't have a friend like that you might be that friend. I know I am

[@jenniferweston7621]

It's an odd sort of friendship... but yes, even Quark.

[@SierraSierraFoxtrot]

"You'd be surprised how often that works with women!" Vedek Bariel appears

[@Libertariandude]

Nana Visitor was hot🔥

[@oasisarah]

what do you mean "was"?

[@2Scribble]

0:41 - I love how Odo's like... ... ... that's not fair!

[@DrownedInExile]

I love the dialogue in this scene! It's like something out of the West Wing!

[@gandalfshakur8235]

Not a single series does dry comedy quite like Trek, and that's why we all love it.

[@Morilore]

The Odo & Kira dynamic here is so much sweeter and more real back here in the early seasons when Odo was an aro ace gendergoblin and Kira was a lesbian.

[@RegBeta]

Kira: "These are my.....These are my friends." Me: Even *in Odo's voice* QUARKKKKKK?!?!?!😂

[@alineh8328]

“Friends”, but in space.

[@BillinHungary]

One of the fascinating things about Star Trek, is how all of the people only seem to pack one small carry-on bag when moving from one location to another...
