Season 1 / Episode 16: - If Wishes Were Horses

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!
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 UN-happy, and to spreading that unhappiness wherever they go! They are the Ambassadors of Unhappy!

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CHAR: Lwaxana Troi says that Betazoids cannot read "Ferengis". However, the correct plural term for Ferengi is still 'Ferengi'. As Lwaxana has had ample dealings with Ferengi before (in TNG: "Menage a Troi"), she should know that.
