	Kira: "Nothing justifies genocide!" Marritza: "What you call genocide, I call a day's work."
	Kira: "He wasn't Darhe'el! Why?" Kainon: "He's a Cardasssian. That's reason enough." Kira: "No... It's not."
	Kira: "You claim you weren't at Gallitep." Marritza: "Yes, I missed that honor." Kira: "And that your illness is not Kalla-Nohra." Marritza: "Again, true." Kira: "Again, false. Our doctor verified that you *do* have Kalla-Nohra, which means you *were* at Gallitep. If your lies are gonna be this transparent, this is gonna be one short interrogation." Marritza: "In that case, I'll try to make my lies more opaque."
	Kira: "I hope I won't disturb your dinner if I ask you a few questions." Marritza: "And if I refuse?" Kira: "I'll ask them anyway."
	[after Maritza has admitted everything] Kira: "Make sure you tell that to the tribunal." Marritza: "Oh, I will!" Kira: "Then they'll sentence you to *death*!" Marritza: "Let them! Don't you see it doesn't change anything?! Kill me! Torture me! It doesn't matter! You've already lost, Major! You can never undo what I've accomplished! The dead will still be dead!!"
	Marritza: "And what will you do now, Major? Withhold my medicine?"
	Odo: "Survivors of Gallitep. They're waiting for justice I suppose." Quark: "Gallitep?! Can you imagine living through that hell-hole? The pain... the sorrow. Do you think they like to gamble?"
	Marritza: "War crimes? How could there be war crimes, when there hasn't been a war? Of course, I can understand how you might wish there had been a war... Your need to indulge some pathetic fantasy of brave Bajoran soldiers marching to an honorable defeat. But in fact, Major, you and I both know there was no war; no glory; Bajor didn't resist. It just surrendered."
	Kira: "Commander, if you'd been there twelve years ago when we liberated that camp... if you'd seen the things I saw... All those Bajoran bodies, starved, brutalized... Do you know what the Cardassian policy was?! And I'm not even talking about the murder; murder was just the end of the fun for them! First came the humiliation! Mothers, raped in front of their children, husbands beaten until their wives couldn't recognize them, old people buried alive because they couldn't work anymore!!!"
	Marritza: "Don't leave now, Major! It's just getting good! How many Cardassian civilians did you kill?!" Kira: " *Look!* I regret a lot of what we had to do." Marritza: "How convenient for you." Kira: "WE HAD NO CHOICE!"
	Kira: "You admit your atrocities." Marritza: "I ADMIT EVERYTHING! Why not? I was the best at what I did! My accomplishments speak for themselves! Can YOU say the same? You and that little... Shakaar resistence cell you belonged to - all you did was annoy Cardassians while I was out exterminating Bajorans!"
