** As he sings, he comes off stage and approaches the back, the bar, where the cast is standing. If this ever happened to you IRL, you know the effect: it creates an incredibly personal bubble for a few moments, where you feel that it's only you and the performer, the rest of the audience forgotten. Kind of makes you feel special, especially how Vic aims some lines at specific members of the crew - of special note is "And that laugh wrinkles your nose/Touches my foolish heart" sung to Kira. Now, under almost any other circumstance, this could be construed as racist, but the [[WhenSheSmiles gigantic grin]] Kira offers in response makes it clear that it is meant ''and taken'' as a compliment that makes her feel special. That's how you do "celebrating differences", people!

* The Founder is adamant over a BolivianArmyEnding to force Cardassia and the Federation to suffer a severe PyrrhicVictory - until Odo melds with her. Note the expression on her face after it's done, as if a quadrillion tons are taken off her, and her joy that Odo will return to the Link. She stated earlier that bring him back was her number one goal, and everything -- ''everything'' -- was subsidiary. She wasn't exaggerating, even to the point of accepting a possible capital punishment. Not only that, but she also knows that Odo will cure their people, lifting yet another burden. (Fridge Heartwarming is that she - and the Link - will know of his love for Kira.)

** Worth noting: Kira's "don't take it too hard, Quark" was said with sincerity rather than sardonicism, indicating she was genuinely trying to make him feel better, thinking Odo had spurned him. This counts as a HWM on two levels: for Kira, for taking the effort to do such a thing despite her personal dislike for Quark, and for Quark/Odo, for having a rapport so deep that Kira doesn't even catch on to it.

* When Garak shoots Weyoun, the Female Changeling simply says "I wish you hadn't done that. That was Weyoun's last clone." Normally, this would be a pretty understated and callous reaction. But considering that she is [[SuperiorSpecies so]] [[FantasticRacism speciesist]] that she ordered multiple full-on genocides with no more regard than a normal person would for swatting a fly, the fact that she was effected to any notable degree by Weyoun's death speaks ''volumes'' about how loyal and devoted he was to his gods.
