Sisko: "On Earth, there is no poverty, no
crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you
see Paradise. Well, it's easy to be a saint in Paradise, but the Maquis
do not live in Paradise. Out there in the demilitarized zone, all the
problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints — just
people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it
takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not!"

Dukat: "Anyone can blow up a ship. Hah! But to
look your enemy in the eye, knowing that you will remember his face for
the rest of your life... That takes a stomach much stronger than you'll
ever have."
Amaros: "We'll see about that."
Sakonna: "No. He's right. We do not possess the Cardassians' gift
for inflicting pain. Nor would we want such a gift." |

Quark: [to Sakonna] "They have weapons, you
have weapons — everyone has weapons, but right now, no one has a clear
advantage! So the price of peace is at an all-time low. This is the
perfect time to sit down and hammer out an agreement. Don't you get it?
Attacking the Cardassians now will only make peace more expensive in the
long run! Now, I ask you, is that logical?" |

Drowo Afa: "I don't understand, you're a
Cardassian!"
Dukat: "I'm not just any Cardassian. I'm Gul Dukat, Commander of
the Second Order." |
|

|
|
Sisko: "I believe her."
Dukat: "Why? Because Vulcans don't lie?"
Sisko: "As a rule they don't."
Dukat: "They don't blow up ships either, as a rule." |
|
|
|
|
|
Quark: "Vulcans are a species that appreciates
good ears." |
|

|
Kira: [to Sisko] "Legate Parn's ship just
put in at Docking Bay Five. Maybe you'd like to give him the same
speech." |
|
|
|
|
|
Quark: "All right. But first
I want to make it clear that I was led astray by Sakonna's feminine
wiles." |
|
|
|
|
|
Legate Parn: [to Sisko on
DS9] "Besides I'm afraid the place has lost its charm since the last
time I was here." |
|
|
|
|
|
Quark: "Sakonna was in the
market for certain items which I was able to obtain for her. At a
considerable discount, I might add."
Sisko: "What items?"
Odo: "We're waiting."
Quark: "Let's see, where to begin? She wanted some deflector
shields... navigational arrays... maybe... a couple of hundred photon
torpedoes..." |

(talking about Dukat)
Kira: "Why risk our lives over someone who has caused so many
deaths? The way I see it, he's geting exactly what he deserves."
Sisko: "The Central Command wants him dead. That's reason enough
for us to want him alive" |
|
|
|
|
|
Dukat: "How barbaric. On
Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial, and it's always
the same - guilty."
Sisko: "Then why bother with the trial?"
Dukat: "Because the people demand it. They enjoy watching justice
triumph over evil every time. They find it... reassuring."
Sisko: "What if you try an innocent man by mistake?"
Dukat: "Cardassians don't make mistakes. " |
